Hi Jamiex

Well, to cut a long story short....... the rooms were lovely, very clean and cleaned every day - new towels etc as well. I thought the food was great but my boyfriend wasn't just as keen, however, he is a very fussy eater but did not go without food each day!

The drinks at meal times were a bit pricey but it's the same in every HB/FB hotel you stay in. Drinks at the bar were buy one get one free between 8 - 9pm if I remember correctly and were okay priced.

The hill - I've got to admit, after staying there in 2005 and returning last September - it was a bit of an eye opener as to how steep it was but you do get used to it. We normally used the bus service during the day to get back up to the hotel but walked up at night time after being out on the town.

One of the nights we were there in September 07 - it was the terrible, terrible rain and we had to walk back up to the hotel. It was very, very frightening as the water was literally running like a river down the steep streets as we were trying to walk up them and when we got to the hotel, you could not see the back stairs (you will see these when you go there) for the water (river) running down them so we had to walk the long way round.

Other than the first few walks up the hill, I would definitely go back to the Palm Beach as it's a lovely hotel that I really enjoyed.

Hope this helps.

Hey jamiex

I'm 25 and my partner is 39 - both of us managed to walk up the hill without too much trouble so I'm sure you'll both be fine lol! I've got to admit though, it's always a hotel that I seem to eat too much food in and put weight on for going home!! I guess that's a sign of good food though!

joanne 39 - I am sure you will enjoy the Palm Beach Hotel. Like I have said before in my previous posts, I have stayed at the Palm Beach twice now and going again this Wednesday for a week and really looking forward to it. I am sure, like myself, you have nothing to worry about in terms of the hotel.
