Editor's note
The Gloria Palace Royal boasts beautiful cliff-side outdoor pools with relaxing ocean views, frequently praised by guests. The pool bar and its team receive specific commendation for their excellent service. However, the hotel could improve by addressing the issue of sun loungers being reserved early in the morning for extended periods without use, a common frustration for guests.
