The hype
Guests love the modern rooms and the spa, but the buffet food gets repetitive and the pool area can feel overcrowded.
Gloria Palace San Agustin Thalasso & Hotel
$150-250/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want a massive wellness resort experience with one of Europe's largest thalassotherapy centers, and you don't mind being up a steep hill for the killer views.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- The colossal 7,000m² Thalasso center is the main event (even if it costs extra)
- Gorbea Restaurant on the 9th floor offers arguably the best views in San Agustin
- Adults-only rooftop pool provides a quiet escape from the busy main pool decks
Brzi pregled: It’s a hulking 90s-era cruise ship on land that’s been nicely renovated, but you’ll be fighting the 'towel mafia' for sunbeds by 8am.
Pregledano od @Miajbowen: I loved how modern and fresh this room felt. Waking up to that ocean view and spending the afternoon by the massive pool was exactly the recharge I needed. Plus, the bathroom is huge with great lighting!
Gost koji je boravio ovdje je rekao
Reality check
You will hear your neighbors. Soundproofing between rooms and from the hallway is frequently cited as a weak point.
- You are a spa junkie who plans to spend half your trip in saltwater pools
- You want a self-contained resort where you don't *have* to leave for dinner
- You appreciate a 'no-kids' zone (the rooftop) within a family hotel
Čistoća i održavanje
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though reviews occasionally mention rushed jobs or missed balcony sweeping.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modernized bathrooms are clean; grout is usually white, but drain smells can occur on lower floors.
- Maintenance: Renovated rooms feel fresh, but common areas (hallways, elevators) show some scuffs and age.
- Linens & towels: Standard 4-star quality; clean but not luxurious. Pool towels can be a bit threadbare.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; occasional sewage whiffs in outdoor garden areas (common in the region).

Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is the Thalasso pool included for free?
No. Unless you have a specific package or room type, it costs approx. €24 for a 2-hour circuit. It is NOT part of the standard All-Inclusive.
Is the rooftop pool adults-only?
Yes, the 'Chill Out' terrace and pool are for ages 16+, but access often carries an extra fee or requires a drink purchase/reservation.
How far is the beach?
It's about 600m away, but it's down a steep hill with stairs. The walk back up is a workout; most guests use the free hotel shuttle.
Is there free parking?
Yes, there is free private parking on-site, which is a huge rarity and bonus for Gran Canaria.
Is the wifi good enough for work?
Yes, free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and generally reliable enough for video calls.
Are there cockroaches?
Yes, you will likely see them in outdoor garden areas at night. It's a Canary Islands reality, not necessarily a hygiene failure, but can be startling.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'Gorbea' restaurant has a separate elevator accessible from the street – you don't need to walk through the whole hotel.
- ✨
If you miss the lunch buffet, the snack bar by the pool serves decent burgers and hot dogs, but watch out for the birds.
- ✨
There is a 'nudist terrace' area if you want an all-over tan, tucked away for privacy.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
💡The 'All Inclusive' drinks menu has a 'Premium' tier; standard AI gets you local spirits, not international brands.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak meal times – take the stairs if you're on a lower floor.
💡The indoor Thalasso pool is saltwater and heated to 33°C (91°F), which can feel too warm for actual swimming but perfect for soaking.
💡You have to pay a deposit for pool towels, and changing them costs a euro or requires a specific token system.
💡The air conditioning in rooms is centrally controlled and can struggle to get 'ice cold' during heatwaves.
