Good Service, nice location, needs some reform
The Palavra Resort has an outstanding location in an island. It has a nice infinity beach pool, a few restaurants with decent food quality. The Service was very kind. However the rooms are not 5 star: the interior design is outdated, we stayed in a Suite with no view at all. No amenities or minibar.

I have found a huge lizard in my room , and it took them 2 hours to take care of it. They actually killed the lizard inside the room and gets dirty.
Management said it is normal to fine one inside your room because it’s a resort (Unbelievable)

So many things r not working! The spa and kids club r out of service.
Breakfast is a 3 star motel quality.
Bathroon plumbing had a problem and there would be so much noice everytime we flush the toilet!
I tried to get a drink at the pool and add it to my bill I was told I had to pay immedialy and I did not have my wallet on me.
The rooms interior is so ugly! Like a fortune was spent on exterior and landscape but the rooms were of horrible taste.
