Al ritorno da un lungo viaggio in auto, io e mio marito ci siamo fermati in questo bel locale vista mare. Era davvero tardi ma un gentilissimo signore ci ha preparato maccheroncini di Gragnano al pesce spada e freschissimi anelli di calamari che erano gioia per il palato! Il sole, il mare , il buon cibo e la gentilezza...le più belle cose del mondo! Grazie Palma d'oro di Bagnara Calabra

L'hotel Palma d'Oro si presenta come una struttura con potenzialità, ma con alcuni aspetti che potrebbero essere migliorati per offrire un soggiorno più soddisfacente. La posizione è sicuramente uno dei punti di forza, situato in una zona centrale che facilita l'accesso alle principali attrazioni turistiche.

We had ice cream and coffee at this beautiful cafe by the strand. The most serene place you could ever go. Just the sea, mountains, palm trees and the quiet. Very local, very quiet. A lot of delicious ice cream for four for Euro 13. Highly recommended.

Very, nice place to chill out, I was fortunate that the owner took time to personally create for me a non-menu dish thank you very much. It was beautiful.
