Our stay at Gamela was truly magical! We enjoyed relaxing and engaging in a variety of activities, thanks to the extraordinary entertainment team. The natural beauty around the hotel is incredible, and the food? Simply fantastic! However, the towels could use an update, and it would be great to have lighting for evening sports. Overall, it was an amazing experience.
