The breakfast was very tasty and there were bonus differences every day, the staff was very friendly. The hotel is close to the port as well as the center.

The room was small for a family of 3 with no chairs or table on the balcony.

lousy bed ok location and amazing breakfast

The breakfast was great The front staff was great and the free parking was great and I am glad it was off season bcuz the parking lot is very small and not the least bit orderly. No designated parking spots. I mean one car could easily take 3 spots. the location is ok a good healthy walk to markets

The bed was like stone and the pillows were awful. the bathroom was small but it worked and I don't mind that but again the bed was just lousy for a 5 star hotel. we were only there for one night gong back to USA and was just amazed at how hard the only chair was in my room

Very good

No monitoring of guests reserving sunbeds all day - some guests were putting towels out first thing in the morning but not using the sunbeds until late afternoon - if a sunbed is obviously unoccupied staff should remove the towels to allow other guests to use. A sign would be useful to advise of this.

galaxy hotel

my second time staying here. what really makes this hotel 5* is the people. they are so lovely, accommodating and helpful. the pool area, bar and restaurant is nice, the hotel is clean and in a good area. the bed is comfortable and having a balcony is a plus. would definitely stay again.

I have stayed in a double room and a superior business room. the double room was definitely better. the superior business room (having seen two) seems a little dated and in need of redecoration. the rooms in general seem quite small and basic. but its fine for a few nights stay and for the most part very comfortable.

happily going back!

its in a good location, about 15-20 mins walk from the centre with lots of bars and restaurants. the staff at the front desk staff are amazingly helpful, accommodating and knowledgeable about the area and places to go. i unfortunately dont remember their names but special thanks to the lady that was a trainee and the other that is shift leader (I think!). it is very clean, even the communal areas. a couple of times we saw the maids cleaning in places that already seemed quite clean! breakfast tastes fresh and is really nice, and there is free water and snacks available at the front.

we ordered cocktails that we didnt really enjoy but thats probably because the recipe is different to what were used to. also the room was a little bit smaller than expected but ultimately there is nothing really to fault with this hotel!
