Globales Panamar - Adults Only

allison gott

Rarely post reviews but need to convey my disappointment in this hotel. Whilst I appreciate it is the end of the season almost, was very saddened at the lack of attention to the hotel. Rooms nice and adequate. Some lovely staff (Blondie behind bar as well as older bar lady) and Reception staff lovely but also some very abrasive bar staff. Tables not cleared or wiped and generally very scruffy. Not expensive to stay but food and drink quality is very poor even for all inclusive. Our first evening, a Saturday, and the only meat being served in the restaurant was beef burgers and chicken nuggets. To be fair, most evenings there is freshly cooked chops, ribs, chicken and fish but that is where the fresh hot cooked temperatures end. Not only luke warm but most ‘hot’ food is barely tepid rendering it inedible. I could be wrong but would suggest the ‘heat lamps’ over the food are actually just bulbs. On the plus side, breakfast is fab, as is the salad bar, the deserts and the cheese station. Entered restaurant at 1.03pm lunch service and the chips were actually stone cold and inedible. Such a shame as it has potential but seems to need management. Only local spirits served unless you pay full price (not a surcharge) for international spirits. We have spent most of our week dining out rather than using the all inclusive. Overall, appears that the hotel chain is keeping costs low, totally understandable, but I’m afraid they’re not delivering a good enough standard in my opinion.

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for 5 days all inclusive. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our trip. Although when we arrived to our room on day 1 it had smelt like someone had been smoking cigarettes. The smell didn’t go. The food was okay it had lots of options for my girlfriend who is a veggie. The location is lovely as it’s right next to the beach which we went to a lot as the pool was somewhat small and it had a awkward feeling about it as there was no Background music. I personally think this hotel is not for 20-25 year olds as it is occupied by the older generation (we were getting looks). We wanted to go to quiz night on our last night but we couldn’t do it unfortunately because we didn’t have a pen and if we did want a pen we would of had to Pay 1 euro and only in cash which we didn’t have. Overall I think we payed far too much for this holiday and we didn’t get a good value For money but that’s just my opinion

For my first solo holiday abroad, it has been a fantastic experience. The room was clean and I had a sizeable balcony albeit obscured by the canopy at the front of the hotel. I was on the 1st floor. Food was ample and the choice everyday varied. Drinks that were included suited most tastes but be warned, the measures were......HUGE lol. No complaints here. Entertainment included singers, a magic act, karaoke and a disco. Victoria was very enthusiastic and tried her best with a sometimes tough crowd. My only complaint is the lack of respect from other hotel guests late at night and the blatant disregard for no smoking poolside and on the balconies. Apart from this the staff were very polite, friendly and attentive.

A great hotel reasonably close to the beach in Palmanova (less than a leisurely 10 minute walk). The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and well equipped. It had a balcony, TV, kettle and shower. We stayed with the half-board option. The food was good, well cooked and well presented. It was a buffet style service and there was plenty to choose from at every mealtime. The staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We had no complaints on our one week stay.

We had a 4 night break at Globales Panama late season(Oct half term 2024). We arrived at around 2pm and were quickly checked in by the receptionist. The Hotel lobby was clean and welcoming. Our room was on the 6th floor and was serviced by 2 lifts. The room was clean and tidy and equiped with an A/C unit, balcony, fridge and tv(patchy satellite connection) The room was made up for 3 people, a room criticism, being an adult only hotel the 3rd space in our room was a pull out sofa-bed and had a very thin sponge mattress on it, with 3 adults all paying the same price it would be nice to have had a proper bed. We asked, and house keeping provided another sponge which we put on top and made a huge difference (thank you). The food was a tale of two halves, the salad bar/meats/cheeses etc were a great selection and plentiful, the hot section was dissapointing, while there was a different selection each day it seemed that everything was cold and not well rotated as it depleted (even getting there as it opened it felt as though it had been out for a good half an hr) this was the same for all the meal times. The snack bar for the all inclusive was very limited and was made up of cheese/meats, some apples, cold (hot food). The bar area in the evening is very much like a transport cafe it could do with a bit of low music and some nicer less bright lighting. There only was ever one person on the bar and it gets busy once the evening entertainment starts. A big thank you to Delores(day shift) and Juan louis evening shift for their hard work they seemed to work non stop to keep up with demand. Ohh the pool is freezing(the sea is warmer) and is good sport to watch those brave enough to enter. Overall a nice place to stay within 2min from the beach, and no 6am sun lounge dash. I would give a 6.5/10 justified by the points mentioned. Thank you to all the staff we met and those behind the scenes.
