Staff need basic training in customer service

The staff was transparent about closing the resort for the next 2 to 3 years for rebuild. The facilities look extremely dated and are in a state of dilapidation. Our first room had a toilet seat that had rusted off at the hinges and mold in the shower. The second room which we were told was the only other room in the whole resort had an ant problem that we traced to a sticky substance on part of the floor along with some mold and rust in the bathroom (not to the extent of the first room). When voicing our concerns the staff did not care for solutions. The generic response is that they could re-clean the room and offer maintenance the next time someone was in. The cleaning was done quickly and left some mold. We cleaned areas ourselves. When I asked to speak with the manager to express my concerns about the state of the resort and lack of service from their staff I did not have any better results with resolution. While a dinner voucher was offered for our "inconvenience," that does not remedy the state of the crumbling building and lack of care from staff. On the final night we did accept the voucher and were glad we never ate dinner there on any other night. At checkout they charged us for the dinner even though we had given them the voucher presented to us. The location was beautiful with calm water great to get into as a family, but a rebuild of the property will not make us want to stay here again as long as staff continue to be unable to do their jobs or training improve.

The view from our hotel room was fantastic. it was nice that they have laundry facilities but they need to do something about the switch between the washing machine and dryer. I had a problem with the other guest regarding the switch. There is only one power source, you can only use either washing machine or the dryer but not both

just a little dated needs new service road, if you are b&b only and decide one evening to stay at the hotel and partake of an evening meal in the restaurant the food is very good but needs more vegetarian selections, however i submit that the cost is not value for money 22/50 euros is a tad excessive for the menu as presented better value in town as the hotel is. due to close soon my comments are academic .

Con: the staff service was lacking & property is old/ run down. 1) when we checked in, the staff didn’t go over the property area/ amenities. No maps were provided 2) staff couldn’t provide beach towels on Sunday after 4/5pm. We checked in on Sunday afternoon and was not informed of this. We came to Malta for the beach experience. The front desk didn’t keep any in stock either. They were not willing to help 3) no management available to help during Sunday. Regular staff were unable to help any financial questions or concerns- this is very irregular. They didn’t do any follow ups either on our raised concerns. 4) there were cockroaches in the room 5) we left after our first night there and told the staff we left 2 data early due to our disatisfaction - they didn’t care. This hotel doesn’t have a customer service. Pro: Private beach away from busy Malta; ok food buffet, later night convenient store available

Mellieha Hotel

Mellieha Hotel Malta was in a lovely location. Hotel its self was very nice. I found that the bed, pillows wear very hard to sleep on. Room was clean only the basin plug didn't hold water in sink. It's a shame that the Hotel is going to closed and be pulled down in October this year.

The location is peefect if tou wush for a peaceful winter break however the food was quite salty. The room was ok but needs refurbishment and we haf too many stairs even to reach the lift for this reason we had to cut our break short and went home early. If you suffer from heart problems ask for a room whic is easily accessable.

Nice older hotel/resort, with 3 pools so you don’t need to go far to find one. We were lucky and staying in the main building so we were close for breakfast and shows, and could walk to them inside the hotel. But if you get a room in a different building you may have to walk outside for a few minutes to get to them, I think it would be worth asking for a room in the main building if you have mobility issues.

Pleasant but...!

My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Mellieha Bay Resort....However, The place is in dire need of a great deal of TLC. But total confusion on arrival my booking was in my first name and not in my surname and hence urgent mail sent to me was never deliverd to me...!!! Externally the hotel reflected Malta, a bit on the shabby side. Internally the hotel was clean, buffet meals(we didn't use all inclusive) were very ordinary and breakfasts quite repetitive. Breakfasts would have been more enjoyable had there been fresh fruit apart from bananas, instead of tinned fruit

Overall a pleasant experience and stay at hotel, clean room and friendly, helpful staff. Needs a little modification here and there as hallways carpets are faded etc but very minor details. Good location to get to Gozo and Comino. Qould visit malta again but maybe try another hotel for something s bit more modern with a younger demographic.
