Book a hotel near Our Lady of Gloria Church, Varca

"Our stay at Marriot at Colva beach was excellent. Property is spotless and rooms are spacious. Most important, the staff at Marriot is exceptionally polite and helpful. Everyone at Marriot went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The food at the hotel is very good. The breakfast and dinner buffet has great spread to satisfy any diner. The staff at live station goes a step further to customize the food to any palate. Looking forward to another stay at this location in the future."

"The view from the room was outstanding, with green fields, water buffalo and the sounds of birds. The sea was just a short stroll away and was glorious. The pool was lovely and clean, although there weren't many sun beds and only one umbrella. The staff were incredibly friendly and hard working. "

"The property and surrounding grounds are beautiful. I would not stay there again though. We arrived quite late at night and were disappointed when we arrived at our room as the bed sheets were damp and the room was very underwhelming for a 5 star hotel. By this time it was too late and we were exhausted so spent the night sleeping with damp sheets. We were contacted by the “butler service” which was really just a generic WhatsApp and they take a long time to respond. However once we raised our concerns about this another member of staff took over and was much more helpful. Our biggest frustration was that the property is advertised as having 3 pools but we were told we weren’t allowed to use the adults only pool as it was for the most expensive rooms only. On the first day we were unable to get a lounger at the pool we were allowed to use. The experiences the hotel offers are eye wateringly expensive. There was a mix up which I take some responsibility for where I had booked a dining experience for my wife’s birthday under the impression it was £150 only to find out hours before that it was £1,500 and when I said I didn’t want to continue with it I was told I would have to pay 20% cancellation fee however no cancellation fee was ever mentioned in the booking of the experience. There was also no way the experience could ever be worth £1,500. The staff are very nice but there is a clear agenda to get as much money out of the guests as possible and everything has a price."

"Clean, spacious room, friendly and attentive staff. The pool was temperature controlled and newly renovated. We had an excellent time here! The breakfast was excellent and the variety on offer was exceptional."

"Really dated I booked an indulgence room. It was terrible Swimming pool is in the shade and really cold water. Only 6 sun loungers around it because nobody went in the pool. Clean towels supplied smelt horrible. Always got dirty feet when I had a shower as they obviously don’t clean the floor"

"Good shower, comfy bed, clean, lovely grounds that are well maintained. Good pool, comfy sun beds with and some without shade. Courteous staff at pool bar. Poor and very slow service at breakfast. Never any bacon on buffet. Breakfast always a poor experience and the only aspect to let it down."
