Great location! Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Many restraints to walk to. The spa was very relaxing and was really enjoyable as it looked over the ocean. Our room was basic but the view of the beach was spectacular! I was going to decide between this hotel and Sheraton and because of the location of the Sheraton costa Galman’s is hands down a better deal. I would reccomens this hotel to anyone staying in mar del plata .

Il mio meraviglioso soggiorno al Costa Galana

Nel mese di febbraio ho soggiornato quattro notti in hotel Costa Galana, in compagnia di mia moglie, soddisfatto della mia scelta. L' hotel risale agli anni 90 ed è ubicato di fronte a Playa Grande sull'oceano. La struttura è molto confortevole, dispone di piscina con bar, spa, beauty center, due ristoranti ed altra facilities che rendono il soggiorno davvero perfetto. Il servizio, stile grande albergo 5 stelle è eccellente e il personale, estremamente gentile e professionale, fa di tutto per farti sentire coccolato e per metterti a tuo agio. Il costo della camera è più che adeguato, paragonato ad altre strutture che a parità di prezzo offrono servizi di gran lunga più scadenti.

Muy bien.

Excelente. Destaco principalmente la atencion de todo el personal, se esfuerzan para atenderte muy bien, bien de un hotel 5 estrellas. El hotel es viejo, se ve que en su epoca fue un hotel de mucha categoria, hoy ya es totalmente antiguo, pero esta muy limpio. Esta muy bien ubicado, tiene buenos resto cerca. Frwnte al mar. Tiene una playa privada muy linda, cerrada donde solo pueden acceder los huespedes, con muy buenas reposeras, esa parte de la playa esta realmente miy bien. Tiene un costo extra, al igual que las carpas, pero realmente lo vale. Tiene parking en subsuelo, eso esta muy bien. La comida que sirven es muy rica, todo de buena calidad, al igual que el desayuno. La cama es tremendamente grande y comoda. El spa esta bien, nos hicimos varios masajes y todos los terapeutas son muy buenos, y hacen buenos tratamientos de estetica para las mujeres. Lo unico malo, fue q la pileta climatizada del spa estuvo fria todos los dias y pese a los reclamos, NO pudieron solucionarlo.

Good location, great pool, amazing staff.

Costa Galana is in a great location across from a busy beach and two blocks from a busy shopping/dining street. I was given a room upgrade and the service was impeccable. Just a note, English isn't commonly spoken and I wish I spoke better Spanish. The pool is great and there is food/bar service with a limited menu. It has a nice gym. I am sure the hotel was the best in the area when it was last renovated. If you are visiting Mar del Plata, I would recommend this hotel for a convenient safe place to stay.
