The Gabayan Riviera

Place is ok for a family trip or couple trip. Great view and fairly new hotel. It’s slightly distant from the more lively areas so better for a relaxing getaway.

Останавливались на Вилле (5 ночей)с подругой! Очень приятное и спокойное место, если рядом отдыхают адекватные соседи ( у нас перед отъездом заселилась группа шумных китайцев, которая купалась в 2 часа ночи в бассейне и громко смеялась)🤦🏻♀️ , что пришлось даже выходить и просить успокоиться!!! Написали даже админу записку, а утром получили извинения и предложение компенсации за «ночное рандеву»! В целом, все было прекрасно: внимательный и отзывчивый персонал, красивая и ухоженная территория, единственный минус- это в меню ресторана ( много позиций отсутствовало, но повара 🧑🍳 шли на встречу каждый раз и это большой плюс ➕) Каждое утро гостям к номеру приносили свежую и вкусную выпечку!

The place is located high above the shore line with a nice view of the sea. The front desk personnel are very friendly and helpful at any request. Rooms are nice and clean. It was though a surprize that a “4” star hotel couldn’t deliver hot water - prepare for cold showers! It also came as a surprice that the towles all were individual types/design like they were bought at a 2nd hand store and old. Our appartment had a leaking roof so during rainfall our roof covered terrasse was flooded with water. The pool need attention since the water was so unclear that you couldn’t see clearly through 20 cm of it. The pool area is not maintained, sunbeds are few and partly broken and not enough shade. The hotel is situated at the waterfront and NOT at the beach front. To me a beach is a sandy area enougt to lay down at - at this place there is just enough for your feet to stand on, the rest is rocks. The restaurant is nicely located with a view upon the sea. What you get in the view you miss in the service, the availabilty of whats on the menu card and the wild dogs that stick to your chair. We did not manage to get the orders that we made either because they were run out of food, coffee or bottled water. English language skills vary significantly dependent on who is on duty. First night at the restaurant we encounter animal feces on the floor at one of the tables. All in all I was disappointed and reminded that pictures and the establishements own description can be misleading - this is NOT a 4 star hotel at any standard.

Location wise, it is not near the party area which isa San Juan. The hotel is located in Lazi where most of the tourist spots are located but if you are a party goer, the hotel is quite far. But the hotel may call for a transportation. Signal - There is no mobile signal in the hotel. They have wifi but there were times that the wifi was so slow and its a bit frustrating since you have no other access as your mobile data will not work. Room - very spacious. They have mini fridge, a TV and electric kettle. The TV has netflix, YT. They have cabinets. Hot and cold shower is available. Their blanket is not a comforter, it is just plain flat blanket. They provide towels. Amenities - they have swimming pool but it was not warm which is not an issue. You can lounge in the couch while having you tan. Staff - they were friendly and very accommodating. They have this walkie talkie so you can contact them if you have questions or requests. Restaurant - food was great and they offer a variety of menu. The whole place is so quiet that if you want a relaxing stay, this hotel is great except for the absence of mobile signal.
