Spacious Serenity
I stayed in the Lavante Suite with unparalleled aesthetics and a spacious layout. The elegant design and comfortable furnishings made me feel at home while enjoying the amazing private beach views from my balcony. Truly a perfect oasis for relaxation.

The outdoor jacuzzi offered an very nice experience during my stay. Soaking in the warm water while overlooking the scenic coastline was refreshing and calming, a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

Tasty Beach Bar
The beach bar exceeded my expectations with its delicious cocktails and food. I particularly enjoyed a juicy burger paired with a perfectly mixed mojito right by the water, making lunch a highlight of my day.

Convenient Mini-Market
The mini-market on-site was a lifesaver. I was able to grab snacks and drinks without leaving the hotel, and the prices were reasonable! It really added to the comfort and convenience of my stay.

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.
