    Whales and Sun

    Returned to Hotel Palace after staying in August and it was just a good as the first time. The hotel is so clean, and the staff are very friendly, and always willing to help. Came in January just to see the whales and can say we definitely got to see them. You can see them right from the hotel. We took a boat ride out to the arch and did some whale watching, did not disappoint. We ate at almost all of the specialty restaurants, and all were good. The breakfast and lunch buffets had plenty to choose from. Pete's grill by the pool was great. I would say the drinks could be a little stronger. The only issue we had with the room was the musty smell. Very strong the first day then would come and go but less. Rooms could be updated but overall comfortable. We look forward to returning next year. Going to Riu Cancun in March.

    Friendly Staff

    This resort is clean and the landscaping is kept up. We had one day (out of 5) that our room was not serviced and had to call twice to get fresh towels. Otherwise, our room was well taken care of. We upgraded to an ocean view jr. suite and loved it. Gave us plenty of space to spread out. The only recommendation is that the TV is set in the living room area, somewhat far away for the person in the opposite side of the bed. Room service was quick, but has a very limited menu. We were not fans of the Japanese restaurant. Others we could find something on the menu that was good. Our favorites were the beef and lamb dishes at Krystal (better than at the steakhouse). We liked that we never really had to wait for a drink or a refill. They were quick to fill our glasses or bring new cocktails as we ordered them. Not a lot of good options for bourbon drinkers that like to drink it on the rocks. Breakfast buffet is good and a wide variety of options. The activity schedule was difficult to figure out at times. Wish the pink and neon party were at night like the white party. Staff were very kind.

    Almost Perfect

    LARGE Room facing the Ocean, corner suite to boot and a 45 wrap around view of the marina. If that doesn't do your sunrise any justice the patio is about the average size of a condo in Vancouver, BC and sports a Hot tub for a refreshing and relaxing sun set for 2 or a Oilers game for 1 for those who get caught staring too long. kidding My wife is one AND she puts up with me 100%. Lot's of things to do, places to go, nightlife, 24/7 food and Drinks and generally happy helpful staff but with the temperature of global events you could tell a little holding back to specific vacationers and as a Canadian Vet who deployed so was I. Negatives, internet. Lol, the farther away you get from the lobby the worse it gets and this place is HUGE. Don't bother calling, because 15 min later its slow again. Big thumbs up ! Ps: must have soundproofing because we heard nothing, all night, every night..
