Amazing view
Beautiful surroundings
Helpful staff in the reception
Boat trips and rentals of cars, mopeds or ATVs/ quads avail able
Pool and beach
Good drinks
Easy to find parking
Good location (close to mini-market, cafe and several restaurants).

-
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.

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!

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.

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.

I booked the penthouse for 1 week. This was to include 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. I arrive to discover the second bedroom is a mattress on the floor upstairs with construction materials stacked in the room. After the 1st night, the cleaning staff locked the access to the room and I couldn’t even use it! The bathroom was also disgusting and unsanitary. I filled the tub on the 1st night, turned on the jets & orange algae and other peoples hair came out of the jets. I have never been so disgusted! I had to spend my own time and money to purchase cleaning supplies and scrub the bathroom just to be able to safely use it. The bedroom linens consisted of 2 sheets & no blankets or options to receive blankets! In the evening it gets quite chilly so I found myself sleeping in sweaters. During day the penthouse windows heat up the entire space gets very hot. The a/c would be great, IF IT WORKED! Don’t expect to have any place to hang your clothing. There are NO hangers. NO hooks. The only closet is locked with no access. My suspicion is all the blankets are in there. Haha! If you want to sit down at the table for a meal, forget it. There is a large dining room table and ONE chair. If you want to watch TV you’ll have to set it up yourself. (And I mean completely set it up). The TV is on the floor with all its electrical components behind it. Speaking of…be weary of all the open wiring at every outlet, light switch and plug in lamps. I could go on if I didn’t have a 1500 character limit!

Great for Junior Suites only

Great common areas but you only get access to the best (infinity) pool if you go for a Junior Suite. The views from the outdoor restaurant are amazing. Good breakfast, average service, hotel seems under-staffed, room was not clean and items such as old contact lenses were left from the previous guest

We Loved Gloria Maris!!

We stayed at Gloria Maris in September 2021 and loved it. The first thing we loved of course was the gorgeous view of Marathonisi Island, the pool was with a great little bar that served food, and as you walked down to the ocean there was another bar serving food and more lounge chairs. On the small beach is a captain that can arrange trips for you, we even asked him at 4PM if he could take us on a sunset cruise at 6:30PM and was no problem. The rooms were comfortable, and the front desk employees were very kind and helpful with advice about the island. Would stay here again!

For starters the rooms have an amazing view!! Food was amazing thanks to chief Freddy…everything on the menu taste really good. As for the bartender Eddie he was just an amazing guy serving great drinks and easy going guy!! Location was not bad at all. You get the views of the ocean and turtle island right across which I recommend to take a tour to turtle island and relax. The infinity pool was key and down a couple stairs the beach small but beautiful. You have the option of the pool the infinity pool and the beach steps away. It really is an awesome hotel where you really feel like you’re in paradise! The private suites are to die for WOW! I really enjoyed my stay there no worries…staff were all great especially Eddie and Freddy my Favorites! Pool bar and restaurant stay open late. Town and airport 15-20 min away…taxi there about 20-25 euro. Overall I made the right choice in picking this hotel so worth it and you can’t get better views but here!!

Great Stay

We had a lovely weeks stay at the hotel, bed and breakfast.

From arrival all staff where very friendly and were a delight to be around during breakfast and dinners spent at the hotel.

The breakfast was ok, my partner was not a fan but I thought it was fine! Dinner in the restaurant was absolutely stunning we ate there twice, more for convenience, as the food was plain and not flavoursome. It is a shame as it has soo much potential with the stunning views and staff! So worth it just for that. You may just be underwhelmed when the food arrives.

The room was incredible super modern and chic, with a beautiful wet room. The whole vibe of the hotel grounds were super cool and insta worthy!

The location was good as it was out of the way of the strip, but close enough to hop in a taxi and it not cost the earth! We did walk to cameo a few times, 25 min walk mainly flat so not too bad.

Tolles Hotel mit sehr zuvorkommendem Servicepersonal. Anastasija (Seele des Hauses) und Nicolas (Service) waren ausgesprochen freundlich und bemüht.

Anlage ist ca. 5 Autominuten von Bars und Restaurants entfernt.

Alles war stets sauber. Teilweise Renovierungsarbeiten nötig (Holzboden/Liegen am Pool).

Essen hervorragend

Aussicht top – der Rest leider enttäuschend

Die Aussicht ist traumhaft und definitiv das Highlight des Hotels. Leider war der restliche Aufenthalt alles andere als zufriedenstellend.

Wir hatten eine Private Suite mit Sharing Pool. Das Zimmer war in Ordnung, aber die Dusche war stark verkalkt und nicht gründlich gereinigt. Als „Mini-Bar“ gab es lediglich zwei kleine Flaschen Wasser – kein Nachfüllen während des gesamten Aufenthalts. Der Kleiderschrank und die Schubladen waren beschädigt, staubig und teilweise mit Haaren verschmutzt.
Ebenso hatte es einen Whirlepool oder Hot Tub im Zimmer da funktionierte die Sprudelfunktion nicht & da war auch alles grün verkalkt.

Das Frühstück war für uns das schwächste, das wir je erlebt haben – einzig die frisch zubereiteten Spiegeleier waren gut. Viele Produkte kamen aus der Dose, obwohl die Karte frische Zutaten versprach. Zahlreiche Gerichte aus der Karte waren gar nicht verfügbar. Eine Woche lang gab es keinen Fisch – und das direkt am Meer.

Der Strandbereich war ebenfalls enttäuschend: kaputte, durchgelegene und harte Liegen, viele Ameisen, lose Holzbretter, die wackelten, und herausragende Nägel – eine echte Stolperfalle.

Der Service war neutral – weder freundlich noch unfreundlich, aber auch nicht das, was man unter gutem Service versteht.

Fazit: Die Aussicht ist atemberaubend, doch in allen anderen Bereichen erfüllt das Hotel keine 4-Sterne-Ansprüche. Für uns gibt es nur einen Stern – und der ist ausschließlich für die Lage.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit ruhiger aber sehr schöner Lage.
Einkauf und Restaurants in Reichweite.
Liegen am Strand sind teilweise im Schatten und ausreichend vorhanden.
Frühstück ist okay - guter Standard.
Sauberkeit ziemlich gut bis auf die Toiletten im UG - die waren nicht zumutbar, sodass man wenn man am Strand war immer ins Zimmer musste um auf Toilette zu gehen. Die Zimmer wiederum sind gut ausgestattet, klimatisiert, gemütlich und funktional eingerichtet. Der Meerblick vom Balkon ist fantastisch.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kein 4 Sterne Hotel

+ Pool und die Sicht auf das Meer
+ Zimmer

- Das Hotel war nicht sauber, auch die Zimmer wurden nicht gross gereinigt
- Wenn man Getränke oder Essen bestellte, musste man mindestens 1 Stunde warten
- Das Frühstück war immer gleich. Für guten Cappuccino oder einen „frischen“ Orangensaft musste man zusätzlich zahlen = War nicht im Frühstück inbegriffen
- Man muss für die Taxis immer bar bezahlen, auch vom Hotel aus = Bargeld dabei haben im 2023
- Das Geschirr am Pool oder in der Anlage wurden teilweise bis zum nächsten Tag nicht abgeräumt, generell war es ausserhalb des Pools nicht sauber, auch Scherben lagen rum, was Verletzung am Fuss als Folge hatte. Die Flecken wurden nicht gereinigt (siehe Foto)
- Die meisten Liegen am Pool sind in die Jahre gekommen

Zusammengefasst handelt es sich hierbei um ein überteuertes Hotel, was in keinster Weise einem normalen 4 Sterne Hotel nahe kommen würde. Schade.

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.

Éviter cet hôtel

J’ai été extrêmement déçue de cet hôtel vs le prix que nous avons payé. Par où commencer… nous sommes arrivés et le sol de la chambre était plein d’eau… nous avons avisé la réception ils sont venus nettoyer mais jamais ils ont enlever/remplacer le frigo qui coulait constamment. La chambre n’était pas très propres… des cheveux/poils ici et la. Les serviettes étaient sales ou tachées (doit être changer) le site indique qu’il y a un spa mais il était vide et 2 piscines mais nous avions accès qu’à une seule piscine (pas en bonne état et pas entretenue!) Les chambres ne sont pas isolées nous entendions nos voisins. Nous avons pris que des douches froides, on nous a dit d’attendre 10 minutes et au bout de 25 mins nous n’avions toujours pas d’eau chaude. Cet hôtel marquait la fin de notre voyage de 5 semaines et malheureusement on regrette beaucoup notre choix ! Le terrain est mal entretenu et les fauteuils extérieurs sont sales et trop vieux pour ce qu’on paye! Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel!

Fantastisk oplevelse

Super god oplevelse hele vejen igennem, vi startede med at få en gratis opgradering ved ankomst, blot en enkelt nat, men det var fantastisk værelse.

Personalet, maden og drinks var virkeligt prisværdigt, noget jeg ikke har set andre steder.

Oplevelserne på hotellet var gode alt fra pool, til leje af både, ATV'er og strandbaren var rigtig gode.

Den unikke udsigt over turtle island fra værelserne og restauranten fås ikke bedre på øen.

Wir sind zu zweit gereist und waren sehr zufrieden mit dem gesamten Hotel. Ich habe einige schlechte Bewertungen gelesen, die ich nicht bestätigen kann. Das Hotelzimmer ist neu und gut eingerichtet. Kleinigkeiten in Bezug auf die Sauberkeit könnten bemängelt werden, jedoch ist es grundsätzlich sauber und es wurde jeden Tag geputzt. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Das Frühstück war unserer Meinung nach sehr gut. Es stand alles zur Verfügung was man braucht. Auch das Personal war immer extrem freundlich und hat bei allen Fragen geholfen. Die Lage war perfekt, da es sehr ruhig war.

Enorme geluidsoverlast

Het hotel heeft aan de achterkant een mooi uitzicht. Vriendelijk personeel en ze hebben heerijk eten.
Wij zaten in een kamer op de bg. Wat een ramp, enorm gehorig. Elke nacht wakker geegen van de herrie. Daarnaast is ook regelmatig het warme water op en dat terwijl het voorseizoen is en het hotel nog geen 1/3 vol zat.
Deze twee minpunten zijn voor ons zo belangrijk dat wij nooit meer terug zouden gaan. We zouden het hotel bij niemand aanraden.

Wir hatten eine Share Pool Suite gebucht. Soweit Ok. Unsere Nachbarn hatten die doppelte Größe und einen mega Ausblick. Preislich kein Unterschied (bei der Buchung auch nicht ersichtlich) Sehr unfair. Außerdem hatte jeder der Nicht-Suite Gäste Zutritt zum Privatpool. Das Hotel achtet da nicht drauf. Nachts tummeln sich die Paare dort.
Ansonsten eine schöne Anlage. Super nettes Personal außer der Dame am Empfang. Die Lage des Hotels ist sensationell!

Waar voor je geld

Hotel ligt op een rustige plek. Met de taxi ben je zo in laganas. Must is wel om een auto te huren omdat er verder geen ov o.i.d. In de buurt is.

Hotel heeft prachtig uitzicht op zee. Personeel is heel vriendelijk, ontbijt is goed. Wel veel last van muggen gehad en de kamers konden iets schoner.

Bij het hotel kan je een bootje huren en naar turtle island varen. Onder het hotel is een kleine supermarkt.

Prima verblijf dus op een prachtige locatie!
