Wonderful family experience! Highly recommended
Pros:

Our stay at GHL Relax Hotel Costa Azul was a truly lovely experience. We traveled as a group of five (one senior, two small children, and adults), and the hotel proved to be the ideal spot for everyone to rest.

What we loved most:

Pool and Cleanliness: The pool is fantastic, especially for the kids, who enjoyed it to the fullest. The maintenance is impeccable; we always saw the pools and common areas very clean.

Spacious Grounds: The facilities are large and airy, which is perfect for peaceful walks—something we greatly appreciated for the senior in our group.

Beach Access and Mangoes: Having direct access to the beach is a huge plus. We were lucky enough to be there during the mango harvest, and they were delicious; a charming natural detail that we loved.

Service and Restaurant: The staff is very attentive, and the food at the restaurant is delicious. Additionally, we found the restaurant prices to be very fair and reasonable.

Cons:

Breakfast: We suggest a bit more variety in the options. We noticed the eggs were always served very soft; it would be ideal to have an ‘eggs to order’ station so guests can choose their preferred style.

Minibar: We felt the minibar prices were quite exaggerated. For instance, charging $15,000 COP for a 600ml bottle of water is excessive. It would be great if these prices were adjusted to be more in line with the restaurant prices, which are actually very good.

Pros:

Lindas instalaciones

Cons:

El desayuno lo venden como buffet pero no hubo un solo día que no me dejaran sacar a mí los huevos, la variedad de desayuno debiera ser mucho mejor, se puede mejorar sin duda. También podrían tener más actividades en el hotel
