Very Good

We had a great stay here. Very calm area with a mini market nearby (walking distance) for anything you need like snacks or water. We rented a car which we would highly recommend doing, they have a parking lot for the hotel which is nice. The view from our room (we picked one with a sea view) was amazing. The restaurant was very convenient with friendly staff and good food. They also have a beach bar and of course a beach right under the hotel which was very nice. We used the lounge chairs at the beach which were very convenient! Breakfast offered a great variety of food and was super convenient. All the staff was friendly and helpful and we felt very welcomed and taken care of. Would come back again!
We have a excellent time at the Gloria Maris the staff were very friendly and very helpful, from the reception, the restaurant and the bartenders, the food was delicious and the view from the room was a breath taking, an overall was a fantastic experience I will definitely recommend to anyone
Incredible property, well kept with very nicely furnished rooms. Ample parking, convenient location and friendly staff. The sea view from the hotel is breathtaking!
Absolutely phenomenal all around. The setting of the hotel and views from breakfast/pool area are unreal. Breakfast was also delicious and fresh! Private beach with a very tropical and secluded ambiance.
This property was great. The hotel was very nice and convenient as they have a great pool, dining and bar options and access to its own beach. They also make it easy to book rental boats, rental quads and some tours right from the hotel. There’s also a minimart connected to the hotel for the all the essentials you would need. The only disadvantage was there are limited dining options in the area.

We went in october, so it was the season closeding down, so has limited staff working, literally nothing was available.
A very nice hotel with a beutiful view over the ocean. The surroundings were nice and quiet with marvolus olivetrees.
Sadly the service at the hotel did not meet our expectations.
This hotel has the best vibe! I give it a shot. You won’t regret it! Thank you Gloria Maris team for taking such a good care of me! I had the best vacay!
We had a majical experience! The design is about feeling your experience as it is beautiful! People are so kind
So grateful it literally made our trip🌻
The hotel itself is nice.
But there is nothing surrounding the hotel. You have to take a taxi anywhere you go.
I asked if they could call a taxi for me, the taxi they called charged double compared to the taxi I took on my way back.
I made transfer arrangements for both arrival and departure prior to my arrival and when I got to the airport the hotel failed to make arrangements for my transfer so I had to take a taxi. The two receptionists seemed to be bothered anytime I asked something. A day before departure I stopped by reception to make sure my departure transfer was scheduled they guaranteed me it was and had me pay beforehand. The next morning there was no receptionist at the front and my transfer was not outside. I waited about 15-20 minutes for a receptionist to arrive and when he got there he seemed not to care that my transfer wasn’t there.
The showers in the room are also not private, kind of useful to know if you’re not going with a significant other.
The breakfast and restaurant at the hotel are good though. The staff at the restaurant are really really nice.
Nice resort in a very beautiful and quiet place, greta staff, clean and fresh room(garden view) with everyday cleaning service and really good breakfast which was included.
Friendly staff and ability to book taxi and tours directly from the hotel. I tried "keri caves tour" and can highly recommend it. I did it in a very small group and we got possibility to sweem in a clear and blue water. I olso saw a couple of turtules on the way to caves.
Area has a couple of local tavernas with a good food which are not a part of the hotel zone and small shop. Hotel has also a restaurant with a great view and a really good food.

Cozy and calm
Although the hotel is in need of some serious repairs on the common areas and is clearly undergoing renovations on rooms (there is a mix of old and new) we really liked the vibe at the hotel. A huge minus was the breakfast with the warm food being served cold. Staff was very friendly and helpful, nice cocktails made at the bar and the hotel’s driver was a cool guy with high guide-potential! We enjoyed both laying at the pool and at the small beach below the hotel as we like tranquility during the day. We recommend renting a boat at the hotel as it is more convenient than going to the harbor. We are definitely coming back, a stay is already booked for September this year.

Everything was superb except the location of our executive seaview room which was located close to the caretaker/cleaning room, which gave us some bad fumes/odor and also alot of noice when the washer/dryer was operated (Pretty much constantly until nightfall).

The hotel is situated in a place difficult to find even with google maps.
We saw a lot of rats in the parking of the hotel.
They gave us a villa instead of a room, but it was full of mosquitoes. In the middle of the night we were woken by a man carrying a torch and saying he was of the security. He suggested to close the windows because there was MAFIA around.
A nightmare hotel, really. Don't go there
Where do I begin...
No one to take the bags up to the room on the 3rd floor was our 'welcome'.
Breakfast SUCKED!
Didn't provide change of towels or soap.
The blond lady at the front desk, Mary, tried to rip us off on every taxi/trip/boat booking...Unreal!

Good but not great
This hotel has potential to be a great place to stay.
Ladies at the reception are very nice, but other staff not so nice.
Hotel is not very environmental friendly - no drinking water stations or shower gel dispensers. Shower gel is another painful subject - on arrival we had two small bottles and we haven't received new ones for the whole stay (7 nights).
Room was very small and not very functional. There was no hair dryer in the room, but you can get it from the reception.
On the good side - breakfast was quite nice although same every day.
Pools and other communal areas are really nice. Great view! It's disappointing that the infinity pool is not available for all guests.

-
The poolbar had highs and lows, food was good for the most part but sometimes it was missing ingredients och was burnt and sent back. Sometime the wait was crazy long (over one hour at one point). They almost never brought the dishes at the same time so me. Sometimes they forgot part of the order. Staff was shy and felt uncomfortable speaking English. Couldn’t answer simple questions.
The pool could use some upgrading, but worked fine to cool off.
Sunbeds by the water had a super thin mattress and were quite uncomfortable. Some sunbeds by the beach were broken and the sun beds by the pool had seen better days but worked fine.
The cleaning staff did not read the do not disturb sign and knocked and opened the door a couple of times when we did not expect it.
Nothing was on time: transfer to/ from the airport, the boat ride, the food etc.
