Galini Sea View

The hotel was very nice and all the staff were very freindly, helpful. The food was excellent. I had a fantastic holiday with my friends.

This is not a 5 star hotel. It might tick most of the boxes but there were a lot of minor deficiencies which were not consistent with a 5 star rating. The room was quite small and the two single beds were not very comfortable. The specification said the room could take a double/two singles and one double sofa bed but there is no way that another bed would have fitted in the room. Also we had to ask for tea/coffee making facilities even though they were listed as standard. Even then someone appeared with a kettle but no tea/coffee or cups! Also free water was supposed to be provided but when we asked for replenishment we were told that it was only on arrival!! The fridge was just about working. We had a shared pool (shared by 8 rooms) but the sunbeds were wooden and no covers were provided until we asked. Then it took 4 days for them to arrive. Breakfast was quite poor with most "hot" food lukewarm at best. The best option was to take an omelette which was cooked to order and was good. For dinner and lunch the food was ok if not always as hot as one would have liked. Also the selection of fresh fruit was quite poor (no bananas or grapes) and the quality of some fruits was bad. On the credit side the staff were quite friendly and tried to help but one got the impression that it was badly run. The hotel is located on a hill about 100 metres from the beach with a steep incline so it is not suitable for anybody with mobility issues. A bit disappointing

Having stayed in various 4* and 5* hotels, this one does not compare with its rating. The hotel rooms are dated with no in room facilities, the beds are the most uncomfortable I have slept in and the linens are full of stains, the bathroom was dimly lit and you can hardly see what you are doing let alone get a decent shave. The breakfast was much better as it catered for everyone, vegetarians and meat eaters with everything you could want for breakfast. I'm sure I read that it's adults only hotel and was surprised to see children everywhere. Don't get me wrong I love children and the hotel is good for families with young children because they provide enough facilities to keep the children entertained, why I was surprised at the adults only statement on the site (perhaps not at their busiest time). There are lots of restaurants for a long stretch of the road serving variety of foods. Easy and cheap bus ride into town from outside the hotel.

Good selection of food for breakfast and dinner. Nice pool Location is up a hill but otherwise good for shops etc Nice shower Nice room Staff apparently cannot change guests rooms after a certain time, seems amazingly incompetent. Pool closes too early, not nice being kicked out before the sun has even gone down. Not everyone wants to swim in the sun and get burnt/skin cancer. Some sort of system for showing that dinner tables are occupied would be good Service at dinner for drinks was slow Sea view room overlooks carpark - would have been nice to know this beforehand. Don't like things like this being hidden when you pay a lot of money and extra for a certain type of room

Our room was lovely, very clean and comfy and everything worked as it should. The hotel was also very clean and well kept along with the pool and short stroll from the beach (I've seen reviews about the walk up the hill if you're in beach side apartments but there's a bus all day!). However, paid for breakfast only and pretty glad because we were lucky if we got yesterday's left overs and a Luke warm! Although stick to pancakes, an omlette or cereal as a tip and all will be fine! The staff were good.

The hotel is at best a 4 star not 5 1, Our shower tray had a crack which leaked water all over the floor, nothing was done when this was mentioned to them. 2, The majority of the staff at breakfast looked like they did not want to be there. 3, they did not provide a curtasy room on the evening we were leaving , just a shower room to get ready in. On the plus side the rooms were clean , the hotel in general was clean and the breakfast well presented and good

The only thing we didn't like is that we had a checked in for a double bed but in reality there were two single beds..

My stay at Galini Sea View was simply terrific... Everyone was super helpful from the front desk all the way down to the valet drivers. Special thanks goes out to Zambia the beach/event cordinator who set up an amazing trip to see the gorgeous beach of Balos, which is a must see. And I couldn't forget the Eden Spa, where I spent much of my time at... Their services and staff were superb and I felt like one of the family by the end of my trip. Thanks :)

Getting better, owners obviously investing time and money on improving the facilities and entertainment. Could still improve on many aspects. Overall enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning and seeing further improvements.
