Gara Suites Golf & SPA

We stayed in a two-bedroom suite at Gara Suites. The hotel offers good value for money, but overall I feel it is closer to a 3-star hotel than the 4 stars it advertises. The suite was spacious, but it only had one bathroom. The room description also stated a golf course view, but our balcony overlooked a construction site. From around 8–9am every morning there was loud construction noise, and dust covered our balcony and clothes. We also expected a kitchen, but there wasn’t one. There were no tea or coffee facilities, only one bottle of water, and we had to request a kettle from reception. The housekeeping staff were excellent, especially the gentleman cleaning Block 4 on the third floor. He was always friendly, polite and kept our room spotless every day. Breakfast had a good selection and was enjoyable. The biggest disappointment was the seafood buffet. We paid before entering as instructed, but while dining another staff member asked for our room number and wrote it down. The next morning, another employee wrongly claimed we hadn’t paid. Thankfully I had kept my receipt. This showed a serious lack of communication between staff, which was frustrating and embarrassing. The spa was relaxing, but it required an extra charge despite the hotel promoting itself as a Golf & Spa resort. The pool was pleasant but quite small with very limited shade. The location is also far from the town centre, we had to rely on taxis throughout our stay. A shuttle bus would make a difference

Stayed here many times now and always font the staff very helpful with our room cleaned daily as is the pool and bar areas plus the breakfast selection is excellent in freshness and quality.

Clean, relaxing, helpful staff Good choice for breakfast

Very nice but need get taxie if want leave resort or long walk

Great hotel food choice was great heated pool was a bonus!!

Great pool & location !

The property is well maintained, clean and really good location. Swimming pools were heated which made them usable regardless of weather or outside temperature. Spa was great and had good availability when we were there. These were the highlights.. Staff was mostly friendly other than one or two at reception who were not rude but just didn’t care enough. The worst part was the food though. Breakfast was ok and saved mainly by the omelette counter and general staff being nice. Dinner was neither tasty nor had any major options. Drinks were not included but no free water as well which you had to pay for. If going there again I’d go with bed and breakfast option rather than half board. Overall a good property and experience.

Despite some of the negative reviews, it was a great stay. Staff were great, attentive and helpful. Food was fantastic as well as the evening entertainment. The only downside for me was all of the young people in groups at the beginning of my stay, doing balloons and made the hotel smell very green which I found very inappropriate as there were families there with young children so harder policing around that would’ve been better.

Hotel was lovely and clean. Staff are helpful and the food was good. Our room was nice and clean with good aircon. Only thing I would say is that they need to inform you better. We didn’t have a kettle in our room and didn’t realise till the last day after talking with another person staying at the hotel that we could request one at reception. They had some great daily activities for the kids and adults to participate in too. Would definitely recommend

Everything was spotless and people at the reception are extremely nice

Pool was lovely a warm, all areas were clean and tidy and staff were always friendly. Breakfast was standard. Pancakes were cold.

Definitely not a 4* hotel, it would be an average 3* at best. Many annoying things in the room, breakfast was just decent, nice swimming pool.

The pool was really warm, probably the best thing about the hotel. The breakfast was chaotic, constant running out of everything, and not being replaced, poor selection of hot food

Slow check in

Average hotel, does the job. Quite far from the main nightlife, €7-10 taxi journey

Really clean Hotel, a good variety of food, staff was really nice. The only thing was that the path from the hotel to the ocean wasn't very easy to access but overall really great experience!

Hotel was very clean. Beds very comfortable and food excellent. Daytime activities good and led by really friendly staff. Evening entertainment was awful. Our room overlooked golf course which was lovely and peaceful. Downside of this hotel is that it is at least a 20 minute walk to beach and any other shops/restaurants/bars, we had to take taxis to evening entertainment at 10 euros a journey

We could not turn off the aircon and it was cold. It could have been cleaner. No soap for the sink. Very spacious but not homely. Not enough pillows and we needed a blanket but there were none. The dining area, very busy and food ok. Took my wine before I finished it as we were the last in but did replace it upon complaining. Not for us Only a 3 star

The stuff here are super amazing. I got a surprise bottle of champagne for my birthday in my room. Super helpful. Rooms are huge and clean. 10/10

Everything was just Excellent
