"Lovely stay at Gloria Palace royal, hopefully these words help:
- taxi from the airport is around 70€
- breakfast is fantastic, plenty of cooked options and the freshly made omelette was a favourite of ours.
- rooms are spacious and overlook the beach, but are starting to look a little dated.
- maid comes everyday if you leave the sign on the door and brings 500ml of still and sparkling water.
- there is no iron or ironing room…this was the biggest annoyance as we had to then pay for the ironing, so 7€ a dress and 5€ a shirt as example can soon add up. So either take your own iron or be prepared to pay. That said, the ironed clothes was returned in 24 hours (but could take 48)!!
- hotel is spotlessly cleaned.
- infinity pool is great and has a water dispenser, so take a refillable bottle, it helps!
- pool towels are provided free of charge which is a good touch (but expected from a nice hotel)
- no shop in the hotel, but a small spar shop is close, otherwise there are some limited vending machines placed around the hotel!
- staff are friendly and helpful!
- evening entertainment is ok, otherwise Puerto Rico is about 7€ in a taxi.
Overall, would recommend but make sure you take an iron!!
