Reviews and Ratings
While the hotel offers stunning views and is located near the beach, my stay was marred by hygiene issues and noise disturbances. The room was decent, but the overall cleanliness and management require significant improvement. Additionally, I encountered a persistent sewer smell that affected my experience, and the service was notably inconsistent.
I had a fantastic time at this hotel! The views were absolutely stunning, with Turtle Island right in front of me. The staff were genuinely kind and went out of their way to assist. However, while the food was decent, it's not the highlight of the stay. The location next to the beach was perfect for a relaxing getaway, although it was a bit of a walk to reach some nightlife options.
I had high hopes for my stay, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing overall. The location offers stunning views, but the service and dining left much to be desired. The air conditioning in my room was noisy and ineffective, and the amenities were quite basic, which overshadowed the otherwise nice atmosphere. While I enjoyed the chance to explore the beach and local attractions, it just didn't live up to the expectations I had.
Gloria Maris is a charming hotel tucked away in a picturesque location with breathtaking views of the ocean and Turtle Island. The rustic aesthetics and tranquil environment make it an ideal spot for a peaceful getaway. However, some amenities are in need of improvement, and the dining experience could be enhanced, especially for those opting for half-board. Overall, it’s a lovely place but could benefit from a few upgrades.
Gloria Maris is a delightful boutique hotel that offers an intimate and tranquil escape with stunning views of Turtle Island. The beautiful rustic design creates a charming atmosphere, and the beach bar serves delicious cocktails. However, there are some areas that require attention, including the dining experience and certain room maintenance issues.
