Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fabulous hotel with stunning views, spacious rooms and large infinity pool. Clean hotel throughout in a lovely position. Rooms were serviced daily to a high standard. The fluffy bathrobes and slippers were a nice additional extra. The balcony was large and looked out towards the bay. Pleased we upgraded to half board when we booked as the food was absolutely delicious. There was such a wide choice of delicious, high qulaity food at both breakfast and dinner. Really enjoyed walking to the bays adjacent to Amadores.

What a lovely hotel, we really recommend this hotel. We have had a lovely stay. Beautiful view and good location. Rooms were beautiful, clean, comfortable beds and the view was amazing. One of the pools was warmer, so really nice for a good swim. Food was really good, warm and a lot of choice. Fresh fish, good meat, nice burgers, lots of starters and desserts. Walking to amadores beach only cost you 10 min. I would like to thank Ricardo for his help and kindness during our stay. Staff at the reception were really friendly and helpful. It’s really nice to join the activities with the animation team. Patryk was very good at his work. And a compliment for Cristopher from the restaurant/ bar. Thank you, we will come back definitely.

I recommend the hotel Gloria Palace Beautiful location, wonderful view from the rooms. Very nice service. The downside is the monotonous eating of low-quality meat and fish. Large selection, but the taste leaves some to be desired. Goog choice.

Lovely clean hotel,room was spotless with fresh bottles of water every day,large balcony which got the sun from sunrise to sunset I’m a fussy eater but there was ample to for me to eat,if I’m going to be critical I’d say the food is geared for adults not so much variety for kids,Infinity pool was cold but bearable (we did go in February) Nightly entertainment was good apart from the resident two ladies which were absolutely terrible ,All in all we had a lovely time

I booked this hotel because it had an exceptional rating on Expedia and Tripadvisor. It was not wrong; everything was just superb. The staff are friendly and can’t help enough; they always have a smile on their face and are happy to see you. The food in the buffet restaurant is fantastic - the best I have ever had at an all inclusive resort. My room was spacious, with a fantastic outdoor private terrace (pictured) and all spotlessly clean. I cannot fault my stay at all. Book this hotel, you won’t be disappointed.

LOCATION Stunning location above the curve of Amadores Beach which is arguably one of the most beautiful locations on the island. Golden sand, azure blue sea and green grassed areas account for this attractiveness. The hotel overlooks this from most areas including room balconies. However, I do not think the hotel makes the most use of these views (see my suggestions below). FACILITIES Staff are lovely- friendly and helpful Evening entertainment (every night) was varied and mostly excellent 2 great pools and plentiful sun beds. Good that the hotel prevents sun beds from being reserved before 9am. Spa and gym great! FOOD & DRINK Great to have water in glass bottles (better for health than plastic bottles). Also great to have bottled Nordic tonic water in glass bottles. (It does not contain artificial sweeteners which is also better for health). Over reliance on machines to produce drinks and cocktails- these drinks were never as nice as those made with bottled mixers. Food was good and varied. A machine to produce freshly squeezed orange juice would have improved the breakfast experience. Unfortunately I never had a decent cup of coffee during my stay and I had to leave the hotel each day to find this. Again this is due to a reliance on machines to create drinks. Training staff to be baristas would be amazing in my opinion. Not all food options are available when all inclusive including snack bar options and the Al a carte restaurant. ROOMS Rooms comfortable and very spacious. Huge bathroom with bath. Very large and private balcony with stunning view. Large safe (no charge if all inclusive). 5th floor room balconies more likely to get sun during the day. In early March we enjoyed sunsets every day from our room which faced west. Use the SunCalc app to check where sun sets and rises for the time of your visit. OUT & ABOUT Amadores beach is lovely and snorkelling is fabulous on the left side of the bay. So many species seen! You can see Mount Teide from the left breakwater! The public buses are brilliant! Reception staff can give advice on times and the bus stops are close to the hotel. Buses are very low cost €1.8 to travel to Puerto de Mogan (worth a visit). A little more to visit Maspalomas. Buses are clean, reliable and frequent. There is a lovely walk around the cliff to Puerto Rico. Spar shop across the road from the hotel WHAT COULD BE BETTER? improved coffee and drinks (see above) In my opinion this hotel is missing an amazing opportunity to take advantage of the roof top area above block 4 to improve the guest experience. The area with sea views, which currently has cabana sun beds would make an amazing cafe area and evening cocktail area. The beds could be moved towards the pool. I think guests would love to sit there in the evenings to enjoy drinks and cocktails overlooking the beautiful bay. During the day this would be a wonderful place to enjoy coffee / drinks and lunch. The seating in reception / bar areas of floor 6 is too far from the windows to be able to enjoy the views - another opportunity missed. Also the sofas are too deep to sit on comfortably and therefore need cushions. The floor 6 bar lacks atmosphere, it needs music and a degree of screening. The main restaurant feels like a canteen with lots of clattering crockery and cutlery. Music and candles greatly improved this but was not used enough. Could quiet background music be used routinely? All in all I would recommend this hotel, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Hotel is lovely, rather larger than we expected but did not feel crowded. Were in Block 1 so furthest from reception but got used to it quite quickly and as other guests told us, it was much quieter to be furthest away! Food choice was good. Staff were great in dining room and so friendly! We only went twice to the evening entertainment : the best was the saxophonist eve (very talented) followed by the flamenco (2 fantastic guys : such professional dancers). Their shows was beautiful ❤️. Well done to all!

Dear client, Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that despite the size of the hotel, it didn't feel crowded, and being in Block 1 turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The food choice and the friendliness of the staff are certainly important factors that contribute to a positive stay. It sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment, especially the performances by the saxophonist and the flamenco dancers. Your enthusiasm for their talent and professionalism is wonderful to read! We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to the performers and the staff. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back again in the future! Best regards, Ricardo Pita General Manager

Rooms were delightful, friendly staff and a top class breakfast. The evening meal was nearly as good, we could have had a bit more variety in the fish department. The pool and spa areas were also fabulous. Entertainment was pleasant but more average.
