Gara Suites Golf & Spa

I think the 3 star for location doesn’t really do it justice. We enjoyed the walk down everyday to the bars and the beach, it didn’t bother us. I think people are making it out a lot further than what it actually is. The hotel was clean and the rooms were too. We only realised on the last day that there were an old pair of jeans underneath the bed which put us off a bit. But rooms were very big and clean apart from that one issue. The pools were big and again, we saw the reviews saying it was too shallow. It was shallow, but my girlfriend is small so it didn’t bother us at all. There was no need to rush for sunbeds in the morning which was a nice change. The lounge bar had a nice feel and the food was nice. The price of the drinks were quite bad with one shot being 4 euros, a coke being 4.50 and an ice cream being the same. You also can’t pay cash there. The only reason problem that we had with the place was how quiet it was. The food was lovely and breakfast was your average breakfast from a 4 start hotel. Can’t fault it. The night time was absolutely dead, which isn’t the hotels fault, but everyone would just be out in a taxi going to the strip or something. The night times were really boring to be honest, there was barely any entertainment but probably because there was like 10 people at the bar. Bingo night was extremely fun and the most busy it was. For us two we like staying in the hotel so to see it very busy was a nice change. The bloke doing the bingo is sound too he did the water polo and stuff and really liked him, not sure on his name. If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay then I will recommend it here. If you don’t mind it being quiet at night and if you don’t mind a 20 minute walk down to the town then i absolutely recommend it. Will definitely return here at some point

Must be noted that I was cautious of this hotel after reading many bad reviews. Mainly about the service and cleanliness. I found that our room was very clean and problem free. We had a standard room two floors above the reception entrance. They are spacious enough for two and the balcony view was good. The pools were very clean and there are plenty of sunbeds available all day. Heated pool is nice too We only opted for breakfast instead of half board and found that there was enough variety for everyone with most food cooked well enough. On occasions there were undercooked sausages but that's all. The hotel is located a bit further away from most places compare to other hotels but walkability is around 15 minutes from everything. Taxis are around 7-10€ each way. We hired a car which made this journey effortless. Found staff to be helpful at all times which surprised me after reading many bad reviews about them. On a whole, our stay here was very pleasant and I thought this hotel was really great value for money

I was there with a friend between the 11/09 and the 16/09. The emplacement of the hotel is very good, near everything you need to. I want to thank especially Antonio Jose, the security guard in front of the hotel, he is one of the few who made us laugh every time we met him. He made our stay more pleasant

Disappointing Experience – Not Worth the Price This hotel was noisy and overpriced for the level of service provided. The breakfast buffet was very limited, and some of the products didn’t seem fresh. The “orange juice” was actually just a sugary syrup mixed with water, not real juice. The room itself was very basic, lacking even simple amenities. Despite booking a two-room apartment, we received only two blankets for three people. There was no kettle in the room, and when we requested one, they forgot about our request. It took three calls and over an hour before it was finally delivered. The reception staff often provided inaccurate or confusing information—it felt like they didn’t really know what they were talking about. We paid €40 extra for a late check-out, and parking was also an additional charge. Essentially, any request comes with an extra fee. Overall, this was a disappointing stay, and we definitely won’t be returning.

Mixed Experience: Spacious Rooms and Great Location, but Several Drawbacks! Pros: Big room & bathroom Big balcony with pool view Big swimming pool with warm water Enough beds around the pool Digital safe box in the room Good location (easy to access the city center by walk or by taxi) Close to Siam Park Easy to get to the TFS airport (15-minute ride) Cons: The rooms were not soundproof, making it easy to hear noise from neighboring rooms. The furniture in the room was old and outdated. The bed and pillows were basic and not so comfortable. There was no iron or electric kettle in the room. Some of the food and fruits at the breakfast and dinner buffet were not freshly made, and the coffee quality was very poor. The hygiene measures at the restaurant were lacking; I found a fly on the meat (where they were serving a warm dish) and a live worm in the salad! The entertainment during the day and night shows was minimal and did not attract many guests. There was no free tap water at the restaurant; you had to pay for a glass of water. The gym equipment was minimal and most of it was not functioning properly. The staff, in general, were not friendly (except for the animation guy), so you did not feel welcome at this hotel. You had to pay a deposit of 20 Euros to borrow a pool towel, and you could only renew it between 10:30–11:30 at the spa. Parking was paid at 10€/night. Poor WiFi in the room.
