Gara Suites Hotel Golf & Spa

Hotel and food lovely,had to get taxis to town but I have mobility issues so knew that. Staff very friendly and work really hard.Did get a stomach bug but not sure where from. Thanks for making our trip wonderful.

We visited over Christmas and were pleasantly surprised at how good this family hotel was given several negative posts we had read. Rooms - we had booked a golf view to firstly find the 'gold view' was a slim 5 degree glimpse and the rest was a concrete wall. Whilst disappointed this was readily resolved with another room pretty quickly. The new room was well fitted out, with large rooms and terrace over looking the golf course. No kettle or iron but apparently you could hire them. Rooms were cleaned everyday and your beds made : 9/10 Facilities - The SPA whilst enjoyable, it did lack a few basic services - no towels, robes or 'flip flops' were provided which lessened the experience. The entertainment was fairly dire and based around young kids, but you are 10 mins in a taxi from party central so not too disappointed. 7/10 Food / Drink - buffet style food was enjoyable and you cannot fail to find something you would enjoy. Choice of food was excellent, breakfast was lovely with plenty of options, as was lunch and dinner - catering for may different nationalities must be difficult but they achieved a hihg standard. Main dishes should hotter, but a microwave is provided if you need it. Bars - upper bar was good and got the sun into the evening - main lobby bar - closes at 11pm and is fairly soulless - but there are 100's of bars a short taxi ride way - Overall 8/10. Staff - were mainly excellent. Everyone was happy to help throughout the hotel with the exception of one young lady working on the upper bar and main bar over a few days, who was just grumpy - but hey ho, her colleagues were more that professional and friendly 9/10. Based on our experiences over Christmas, we will return to this hotel at some point this year - just enjoy !!

Nice hotel grounds and room and overall had a good stay. Don’t believe all the negative reviews - we stayed over the new year for 1 week in a very large room and quite satisfied with the hotel. I found the staff helpful and welcoming. The only issue that does need to be reviewed is the food temperature, I do agree with previous comments that it’s never very hot. I don’t believe the food warmers are adequate and really need to be replaced, I don’t think I had one meal that was hot at best warm and whilst edible definitely needs to be improved
