Gloria Maris Hotel Suites and Villas

The restaurant and staff were nice.

The room which I had was very I mean very overpriced. The marketing for the venue is misleading. The room itself was dusty and old. I paid a lot of money and I didn’t see the value of the purchase. I would not visit again under the current conditions.

Only location and view.

Very bad. Dirty room with other people's genital hair. Photo is a scam. Toilet is not working. No one personal and no phone answer after 11pm. Hotel dont have parking. His parking a field where you can't drive a low-slung vehicle. The view from the window is beautiful. But the hotel is a complete scam. When I told the manager this, she just smiled awkwardly and didn't even hear an apology.

Beautiful view from room. Helpful staff

Air conditioning doesn’t really work

Great location, a quiet, nice place with clean rooms and delicious food. We only spent 3 nights here, but it exceeded our expectations. The Komodoro restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, the view is amazing, a great place to enjoy a nice dinner. The staff was really nice, attentive, the room was always clean and the bar next to the pool offers a great selection of cocktails - all I can do is recommend it!?

The view, location, beds we're all great.I also like the Hawaiian hotel vibes and it was very peaceful to stay here.

The breakfast was very limited, and not very delicious, nothing was homemade or stood out to us.The beach was smaller than expected, and the chair at the beach were not comfortable.

The room view was great and the breakfast was fine.

I think the hotel could do better with their transfer vehicle. We had to pay just like a taxi, this service was not complementary.

amazing views - helpful staff and fantastic suites . we stayed in the suite with private pool and found none of the issues i had read in other reviews prior to going . its off the beaten track of laganas strip , i would highly recommend hiring a car or quad if staying at the property , but the fact its away from the center helps you relax .

some of the decking seemed to be loose , nothing that couldn’t be fixed over the off season & never felt dangerous . just did run the risk of injury barefoot ..

Comfortable bedsThe view over the bay and turtle islandStaff was kind, especially the barman by the pool and driver of the hotelSwimming in the sea down by the hotelCar rental service

We just arrived home and had a great time at the hotel. However, there are a few points we’d like to bring to your attention to improve the hotel’s overall experience. We believe that when you pay 100%, the hotel should also be 100%. We have asked the hotel for compensation because of this, but they haven't given us a reply other than that they are aware of it and there will be renovations.On the first night, there was a leak from the ceiling, leaving a large puddle of water on the floor in room 305.The housekeeper entered the room despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign being on.The showerhead in the room is rusty and seems like it has not been cleaned.Three toilets in the breakfast area are out of order, and the one that works cannot be locked.The fried eggs at breakfast are always cold.There’s no towel on the fresh bread for cutting.The coffee and juice served at breakfast are not fresh.There’s a limited variety of tea, and the tea box is messy.There’s clutter with boxes and pillows in the breakfast area.The pillows in the breakfast area are nice, but they’re never placed on the chairs. It’s also unclear if guests are allowed to take them.The swimming pool is dirty.The bridges near the pool are broken.The jacuzzi by the pool is out of order.Some of the planks near the seating area by the bar are loose, with exposed screws that could hurt someone’s bare feet.The trash bin near the loungers at the Tropics Bar was overflowing and never emptied.Some of the planks near the loungers at the Tropics Bar are loose.Upon arrival, there was no orientation or explanation about the hotel. It wasn’t until three days later that we discovered the hotel has a beach and beach bar downstairs.I also booked a massage, and despite repeatedly telling the masseuse that she was hurting me and asking her to reduce the pressure, she continued, insisting it was necessary. At times, I had to physically push her hands away.

The view is incredible! The hotel room was very clean and decorated well.

The pool wasn’t clean enough, breakfast wasn’t good enough for the price, room had some things missing e.g hooks for towels, shampoo & shower gel were not replenished. Generally the hotel grounds were a little tatty - wouldn’t have minded but the hotel is quite expensive.

The hotel has a stunning view over the sea with both the possibilities to sunbath at the pool or at the sea. Breakfast was very nice with a lot of different choises. Very friendly and helpfull employees.

The property is situated in an amazing location close to the busy Laganas area and on a cliff which gives it this fantastic panoramic view! It has its own little beach and a picturesque small beach bar that is just the perfect area to drink your coffee every morning! We got a room with sea view and it was indeed as it was advertised, a balcony with no obstacles and a clean wide view of the sea and the island across the hotel! All the staff were extremely friendly and always happy to help. We loved the interactions. Our room was cleaned every day and even the cleaning ladies were so friendly and with a smile every day. Moreover, for those that know of mattresses, the brand was Cocomat and of exceptional quality plus hypoallergenic and made from sustainable material from the ocean. Really well thought of and not your average cheap hotel pillows/mattresses. Lastly, there is a water scarcity on the island, but I have to give cudos to the owners because they were bringing almost every day trucks with fresh water so that the hotel doesn’t run out! Well done!

There were some minor things for me that I didn’t like but these did not affect our rating. Our room specifically was missing some small practical things like a soap hanger and a rack to hang your clothes. The staff I think might have been overwhelmed as they had to work double shifts every day, but this is a common issue nowadays as there is no staff available for work at horeca. Although they were working hard they were keeping their smiles and were friendly which I can appreciate. There were some parts that needed a bit of attention like screws hanging out from wooden floors at the beach patio. This is a family owned hotel and I think they are renovating every year bit by bit, but there should be a maintenance person on standby for these things.

Views were beautiful.

Facilities were not to a 4 star standard. Pool was filthy, clutter in lobby, had to pay a cash deposit for towels, staff were rude on numerous occasions. Not worth the price paid, especially as our room was right next to the lobby and very loud.

Breakfast choice exceptional, Room Upgrade Amazing plus views Spectacular!!

Going Home!

Amazing view and very comfortable room! Ideal place for those who love the nature and want to relax in peace.Ladies at reception are great.

Excellent place with direct access to the sea, great beach bar with good food and very nice restaurant with good food and great view. The owner is a lovely lady that I was very happy to get to know. Boat rental service was also great and definitely reccomend it.

The hotel is in a nice location and the breakfast was fairly well stocked.

The room smelled bad, the drain in the shower was blocked and flooded the shower and toilet area so we had to wade through dirty water to go to the toilet. The staff entered the room even with the do not disturb sign activated, and after requesting that no one enter the room to reception. The reception staff had a bad attitude to most guests and did not want to help anyone. The hotel let a family with a screaming baby in, even though this hotel is advertised as Adults only, so don't be fooled by the false advertising. Our room was located on top of the kitchen and near the reception so either we heard kitchen staff crashing around (it sounded a bit like they were playing tennis in the kitchen), or the guests and reception having heated debates at 3am... all in all, not all the most exquisite sleep!! Oh and one more thing, the garden view room, had a delightful view of the nextdoor neighbours side wall and side street, not what I would classify as a garden, but I might be wrong!!

The pictures were beautiful and so we thought it would be too good to be true but it was just as amazing in person as in the pictures! The manager Irene was exceptional, very friendly and always checking to make sure everything was okay with our food/stay she went above and beyond! It was a pleasure chatting with Irene and getting to know her! We would go back because she was very attentive and lovely. The reception staff were also really helpful and welcoming and spoke good English!

There were a few areas on cleanliness in the rooms that needed addressing e/g slow water drainage in the shower which meant it would flood very quickly so we could only have like 2 minute showers. Also there’s a button u can press to say yes or no to cleaning and if no was pressed they still let themselves in and done it anyway which was abit of an invasion of privacy. Towels and bedding had a couple of stains on. The staff were very very slow with the service in the restaurant.

Very bad and horrible and nothing looked like the pictures

Everything it was disgusting and it did not look like the picture and they left the keys on the front desk with a note because they have slept to an extent that I slept in 2 rooms and not the other because I couldn’t find it

I enjoyed the private beach and the lovely staff

How far and isolated we were from the town and any local shops

Gloria Maris probably or most definitely has the best location on the island.I can guarantee you will experience the best most relaxing vacation in this hotel.Embedded into the landscape it serves you with an incredible view to the south (sunrise) and you can see the turtle island right up front. ?️ ? We were in one of the private suites with a private (shared area) swimming pool for suite guests, which is an incredible infinity pool.The staff is so lovely and welcoming especially Jay (Most viby Bartender), Fanny (hope i spelled the name right haha) and Alex. You will find them down at the bar during the day next to the water. Speaking of water. The hotel has an exclusive access to the sea with wide and shallow water. Great for swimming and snorkeling!The food and drinks are super delicious.Thank you for the hospitality Gloria Maris ?

Absolutely nothing!
