Porto Palo - all beaches

Beautiful

Peace and quiet

The beach was a pleasant spot with fantastic live music. However, the service fell short of what we had hoped for. Our group consisted of six people, including three children. After placing our orders, we patiently waited and began playing a game of Uno. When our food arrived, the server rudely remarked that if we wanted to play cards, we should do so on the beach. We felt disrespected, as if we had been behaving inappropriately. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I doubt I will return.

The shoreline of this beach boasts shallow waters and soft sand, allowing visitors to take a leisurely stroll beyond the pier in water no deeper than knee-high. While the restaurants lining the shore offer a convenient place to grab a bite or a drink, the east side of the beach could benefit from some attention from the city to clear away debris that washes ashore during the winter months. Despite this, the beach remains a lovely spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the gentle waves.

We were a group of seven, including a toddler, and overall I must say that our experience was extremely disappointing. We were promptly offered water, which arrived quickly, but after that, everything went downhill. We had to wait at least 30 minutes before we could even place our food order. Just seconds after placing the order, I had to chase down the waitress to request a plate change because my wife had changed her mind. The waitress's behavior was incredibly rude, to say the least. She actually raised her voice and stated that the order had already been sent to the kitchen, claiming it was automatic... unbelievable. Going back a bit, I should mention that the table next to ours left, and the new customers who sat there received their Spritz drinks, wine, water, and even starters before we even got our wine, let alone our food. Despite arriving at least 20 minutes after us, they were served much faster. We also had to ask three times for the bread basket, which was offered to us at the same time as the water. We then requested a high chair for our daughter, but it arrived at least 10 minutes later and was disgustingly dirty. There were crumbs and other food particles, as well as stains. We couldn't even use it. As for the food, if you're charging €23 per person for a pasta dish with seafood (minimum 2 people), it should be exceptional. Unfortunately, it wasn't great (although it wasn't terrible either), but for that price, we expected something much better than what we received. There was an excessive amount of olive oil in the pasta, which I find unacceptable. When you charge above-average prices, you should absolutely ensure that you have an adequate amount of staff at the very least. In my opinion, you should also make sure that the food is above average. We didn't have dessert, we simply paid and left as soon as we finished eating. The location was beautiful, and we wish we could have enjoyed it more...
