First of all, you and your family will like staying here. You won't regret it in any way. The hotel is clean, the weather is superb, the sea like blue crystal BUT, it could do with a few small improvements. IMO opinion this is a very good 3* and you should be aware of the location too as it could play a part in your holiday. The Galaxy BW at its highest is 3 stories so it's not intrusive or overbearing and the whole place is fastidiously cleaned by an incredibly hard working team. There's genuine pride in it from the rooms all the way down to the beach. The location of the hotel is ok, it's a 10 minute drive from the airport but you are not really aware of airport noise and it's quite nice seeing planes coming in over the sea. The hotel is one of quite a few hotels, shops and bars along the beach. The hotel next door is more of a younger persons hotel so you can hear house music blaring out all day and of course being music, respects no boundaries. If I could make one suggestion to the Galaxy beach pool bar team, look up Chill playlists on Spotify and delete the Europop heavy beats. It would suit the hotel better. Music at night at the Galaxy is pretty good with live music from various different artists every night and they are really entertaining. If you are paying for All Inclusive, you should really be aware of what it gets you. Starting in the restaurant; fruit juice is not fruit juice (actually I'm not sure the hotel stocks any real fruit juice) because it's a syrup mixer dispensed at a push dispenser and the mixture is WAY too strong. You end up watering it down whilst missing real fruit. Same at the pool bar. The local Cola substitute is ok but that's the best it can be called. The coffee from the pool bar machine is awful. The beer is nice enough. The included wine would go well on chips but not as a drink. The local alcohol is decent enough but if you ask for one of the 10 or so cocktails available, they mix it with the aforementioned "juice" or mixers. It's a gamble..... This often and possibly deliberately leads you to want to buy the real thing which you can do of course, at €2.50 for a small can. You also then will end up having to buy a hand made coffee if you really want one. We read reviews before we came about the food being lukewarm or not so good, this is not true. The food is not piping hot but it's a buffet and does not detract from the quality. The food has been great with a wide variety and lots of it too. Every day the buffet offering changes slightly and if it comes from the charcoal grill, it will be amazing. The staff that clear your plates and tidy are lovely. You don't need to wear trousers and shirts in the evening. Laganas needs a clean. It needs bins and some pride restoring but it's not bad. It has a party town reputation but we saw none of that from our hotel. In the morning the streets were quiet. There's just a lot of litter. The pool. It's quite small but then this is not a big hotel. Natu
