Gloria Palace Royal Hotel and Spa

The hotel was lovely and quiet and the spa was such a bonus. As soon as we arrived I could feel the calmness. Price seems to have jumped up a lot since we first started to look at this hotel a year ago. Maybe it was the time of year. Would definitely visit again for total quiet and relaxation. They had made an effort having vegan options available at dinner and at breakfast every type of vegan milk was available. Everything was clearly labelled. Food was always fresh and hot. Saw thermometers being used to check temperatures. The upper pool was very quiet with Bali beds available and we did enjoy some pool activites at the Infinity pool with the animation team who were so friendly and fun. All staff were amazing. Very helpful and friendly. No personal phones to be seen, although the bar tender in reception disappeared regularly one evening ( may be due to live football so forgave him ha ha) Cleaner was efficient and discreet. Just one disappointment is that we encountered a staff member entering the hotel (not on duty) being generally negative and rude using the F word. Would go again in a heartbeat if prices drop.

Great hotel. Lots of cupboard space. Cleaned every day. All staff were happy and friendly. Couldn't fault it apart from.... After arranging our evening around a cabaret act that we wanted to see - twice they didn't turn up. Not good.

I already miss this place - it does not have a luxury touch, but everything is here. I liked their fresh food, little live music stage at dinner time, and multiple programms for adults as well even though I couldn't try any of them. Actually you will be kind of busy swimming all the time at Amadores beach, it's one of the best of the island. It was very spacious that I couldn't even figure out the floors until the last day and would get lost at every step.

This is one of the best holiday hotels we have stayed in ! The location is superb and all the staff are fantastic. Special thanks to Patrick, Francisca and Jule they were wonderful. The rooms were large well equipped and clean . It was very spacious with a large balcony and the most amazing views . The whole experience was fantastic. We truly can’t praise all the staff enough , they were all fantastic. As far as the pool goes it was beautiful with the best views you could imagine. The food was great along with all the staff in the dining room. A truly great experience and a great venue

Booked a double room with sea views, the pictures are a bit misleading as you only have slight lateral sea views and no view of the pool, Just the main road and an urbanisation. Disappointing as the food has been excellent in the buffet restaurant as well as the service. The Spa is very nice and allows children during certain times. I would be writing a much more positive review if it weren't for the poor view. The pool areas are also nice. I would recommend anyone booking to request not to be in block 4. I have now changed rooms for the last 2 nights so have edited my overall rating of the hotel. I will post a new picture of our view.
