Gloria Palace San Agustin Hotel Reviews
" Having stayed in most of the 4 star... "
Submitted By: Mr G RODE
Having stayed in most of the 4 star hotels in Playa Del Ingles and Maspalomas over the last 15 years we thought we would have a change this year and stay slightly further away from it all at the Gloria palace in San Agustin.
How FABULOUS it was !
If you want unpacked sandy beaches a short stroll away,albeit up-hill on your return,an outside area with two big pools and loads of room for your sun loungers that is styled on a cruise ship terrace that overlooks the sea then look no further.
Most hotels run-out of sun lounger space,this one doesn't and the whole outside space gets sun all day as it faces the sea.
Three of us went and we were given one room with three beds,we asked reception if they had something on a higher floor as we had a ground floor room and we were given a suite,complete with white leather sofas,flat screen tv and tons of scatter cussions - no extra charge!
The area of San Agustin itself was lovely and peaceful and the hotel was full of Spanish guests and all the staff were Spanish and some did have difficulties with English BUT that is what makes a holiday,why go to Spain and want everything in English? I learnt more Spanish in this hotel than I have in any other.
Food was excellent,breakfast was the best I have ever had in a 4 star hotel.Dinner great also,loads of choice,duck,chicken,pork,mussels and fresh fish every day which did not contain a single bone,very rare for a hotel,dining staff always friendly and helpful.
Lots of Spanish styled evening entertainment,Flamenco dancing etc,great!
Overall,
Lovely quiet and refined area away from it all but easy to get to the busier areas by cheap taxi.
Excellent choice and high standard of food and lovely Spanish staff.
Lovely sunbathing areas and pools.
Huge rooms and all excellently appointed.
Would recommend highly to anyone.
Our ages are 38,44 and 55 just for interest.
Thanks Thomas Cook,this hotel needs better marketing though,it deserves it.

" Just read a review of someone who... "
Submitted By: Mr R Fitzgibbon
Just read a review of someone who wasn't happy with this hotel and I must say I agree with them..
Its a fine hotel, with lovely pool area and two pools on the roof where we mostly went to. Its clean, rooms are clean, the food was fine too. With hotel bus to beach and Maspalomas.
BUT.... We stayed for 2 weeks and never saw a manager, reception is always busy (too busy). Bar didn't stock our drinks. Entertainment was awful. The dining room I thought was disorganised, tables too close together, cold plates, a lot of staff with trolleys stocking with food, yet no manager on the floor looking after things.
We took a taxi into Playa Del Ingles every night for drinks and entertainment, as so did a lot of people we talked to. I guess they are booked out from one end of the year to the other, so why change things?
This is a huge hotel, its clean, with enough lifts, but there is something wrong somewhere. The only conclusion I can came up with is that it is badly run.
Overall, we were disappointed with the Gloria Palace.

" Lovely hotel, great location, views... "
Submitted By: Mrs J Wood
Lovely hotel, great location, views great.
Restaurant very disorganised, no warm plates for food, therefore you end up with cold food. Great if you like your food cold.
Very poor service in the salon bar, better if you need a drink to queue up at snack bar.
Maid cleaning of a lovely bedroom, very poor.
Evening entertainment poor.
Overall a very disappointing holiday.

This hotel is our badest memory for 20 years travelling.
The staff of this hotel is absolutly not frriendly. They don't matter about customer and some are even shameless !
The restaurant is too small, not confortable, many waiter but too busy to help you !
The nouriture is always the same, nothing fresh, very fat,
The restaurant has a beautiful big terrace but they don't use it for dinner or lunch ! For breakfast if you are lucky, you can take place on one of the 6 table they have put and if you ask for another table because the 6 are busy they are angry with you !
The swimming pool is ok but there is not much space around and the people are very close one to another.
