Gloria Maris Hotel Suites and Villa

We had the best time at Gloria Maris. The staff are the best part of our experience, from the receptionist Natasha, to the lovely restaurant staff and of course the Bartender. Food was lovely, they will make any cocktail you wish. The pool area is outstanding with the addition of this hotel being attached right to the beach with sun beds available there too. The room was gorgeous, cleaned daily and air con worked very well. They offer boat trips that I would highly recommend going on too, Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Hotel in general is okay, but a lot of things are not included or are broken. The airco in our room was not working properly, so the room was very hot during our stay. Also toiletpaper wasn’t hanging on the wall as it should. The jacuzzi was filthy. But the service at the bar was great 5 stars. Friendly people who help you with everything. If i come to zakynthos for a second time i wouldn’t book at this hotel with this problems.

The view from the room was very captivating and beautiful but unfortunately I don't have the same to say about the room itself. The room was very dirty and I barely had any hot water there was dust and the refrigerator wasn't working along with the air conditioner. The service wasn't so good there were barely any staff around and it was like they didn't care not to mention that the beach bar was closed and wasn't working. Further more there was much noise coming from the bar at night and it was distracting. The food there was very bad it's better to go to nearby restaurants then eat at the hotel I recommend not eating there.

Stayed in the suites with infinity pool. Positives - Cleaner was lovely, room cleaned everyday View from the suite was incredible, definitely what you are paying for Negative - No hot water, only 2 out of 7 days we had hot water No room phone Couldn’t use the hot tub as when run dirt came out of the jets like it hadn’t been run at all - in addition to no hot water Coffee machine didn’t work Everything felt damp, air con ran freezing cold or nothing Tv couldn’t be viewed from anywhere, stuck on a wall Sofa space was tiny Clothes smelt damp, constantly humid, floors left wet. Rusty shower head not fixed in properly Tap moves, mouldy round the sealant No shower drain plug Noisy air con, also constantly cold. Rusty fridge, smelt musty. No smoke detector Broken window, could not open Condensation in the left hand window, ruining the view Extractor fan awful, didn’t remove anything Hairdryer terrible Awful stain in toilet Noise from pool pump constantly Smell of sewage from pool pump area Reception very unhelpful Beach bar closed Beach none existent - small triangle of sand the rest was covered in kelp

We had a majical experience! The design is about feeling your experience as it is beautiful! People are so kind So grateful it literally made our trip🌻

Where do I begin... No one to take the bags up to the room on the 3rd floor was our 'welcome'. Breakfast ******! Didn't provide change of towels or soap. The blond lady at the front desk, Mary, tried to rip us off on every taxi/trip/boat booking...Unreal!

Nice resort in a very beautiful and quiet place, greta staff, clean and fresh room(garden view) with everyday cleaning service and really good breakfast which was included. Friendly staff and ability to book taxi and tours directly from the hotel. I tried "keri caves tour" and can highly recommend it. I did it in a very small group and we got possibility to sweem in a clear and blue water. I olso saw a couple of turtules on the way to caves. Area has a couple of local tavernas with a good food which are not a part of the hotel zone and small shop. Hotel has also a restaurant with a great view and a really good food.

If you suffer with walking disabilities, or are looking for 24/7-night life, cheap booze and fast food in a hotel that is regulate to the standards now expected by the British traveller then DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. It took my partner and I back to the good old days of Greece where you never expected anything except local hospitality, comfort, and the friendliness of the staff. This hotel has one massive plus point and that its location. A view to die for, a sandy shallow beach and peace and quiet. A small family run hotel that is most probably experiencing its first full year of bookings following covid. Therefore, some bits look tired and in need of TLC. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are quirky but practical, no cupboards gathering dust, the bed is comfortable, the AC works but hot water is not on tap 24/7 due to it being solar powered. We shared our balcony with the bats, lizards and birds and breakfast with the wasps (it is the egg + bacon that attracts them). Taxis can be arranged to Sostis, airport or beyond. Sostis is a 30-minute walk or 10 minutes by car. Cameo Island 15 minutes by taxi. My only negative comment would be that the price of food and drink in the restaurant, seems a bit expensive compared to other restaurants. Would certainly recommend to our friends and families and looking to return.
