Stayed for just one night due to travelling over to Gozo. Have stayed before and the hotel is still excellent. Construction work hasn't changed the atmosphere.

Had a lovely stay in a very comfortable room with a huge balcony and fantastic sea views. The Indoor swimming pool and hot tubs were also great for the winter months - nice and warm and not too busy, so you were still able to swim. The building work is ongoing, but I did not find this disruptive at all even when sat outside. The entrance and parking area are a bit messy and rough, as is the path to the bus stop - not so easy with a suitcase. Bus stop 10 min walk away with regular service to Mellieha for some alternative dining options, or a Bolt was around 5 Euro. Airport direct bus also stops there - though was very busy between Mdina and St Pauls. Breakfast tasty and plentiful - lots of fruit, yoghurts and fresh omelettes. Had dinner in the Italian twice and lunch in Kofi & Kale twice - both enjoyable. The peninsula around the hotel is very pretty, and I had a lovely walk around the couple of bays, with stunning views over to Comino and crystal blue waters. Also an easy 20-minute walk to the ferry terminal over to Gozo - a well worthwhile trip.

Amazing room, views, staff and food.

We stayed in the panoramic suite. The view was truly unbelievable overlooking the sea and 2 other islands. It had 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, free mini bar and the biggest balcony i have ever seen. Room was spotless and cleaned every day. Every member of staff we came across were happy, friendly and helpful. In fact, people in Malta are very laidback, friendly and happy in general. Breakfast was included, which was a step up from the usual buffet style food. Great qaulity and plenty of choice. We had lunch in one of the restaurants on our arrival, the food and service were so good that we went back again. The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring the North of the island, plus the 2 other islands. There is a bus stop 5 minutes walk from the rear of the hotel. Plus boat trips to the other island leave from the harbour at the rear of the hotel. Buses in Malta are amazing and very cheap. Get the app and buy a travelcard for around 19 Euros. Easy, stress free travel around the whole island. There is not much else around the hotel so car hire or bus is essential. If you want a clean, friendly hotel with great food, staff and breath taking views, then this hotel is the place.

We booked in a Panoramic Suite 8647 and the room was superbly comfortable for 2 persons with full amenities and good for 4 persons with sofabed and 2nd bathroom in living room. The sea view from the very large panoramic terrace balcony was amazingly beautiful, picturesque and serene too👌👍👏. A few suggestions and some action notes.......just 2 coffee pods 👎...... Just 2 tiny body wash/shampoo sachets 👎 no food room service 👎 tap water had bad taste even when using it for the coffee machine 👎 and a bit more thorough maintenance / cleaning as the showers had black mold sealer in corners and lot of water leak out from door when showering and flushing button faulty as it doesn't stop water flushing 👎 otherwise an enjoyable stay, even for just a night, let alone more 👌👍.

Disappointing Check-In & Poor Hospitality My experience at Ramla Bay Resort was frustrating from the start. Upon check-in, my key didn’t work, so I had to go back to reception, only to be told it was fine. Security was sent and found that the issue was actually the battery. I had to return to the reception yet again and wait an additional 25 minutes for a new key. Despite these inconveniences, I was denied a room move even within the same category. Overall, the hospitality was poor, and the lack of service made for a disappointing stay. I would not recommend this hotel. Floor was super wet.

Help us out!

This place was generally ok. The pool was lovely, though no toys and towels were hard to come by. The food was beyond delightful with many options but there was a dearth of water. And you have to pay extra for bottled water. There are few amenities for kids and the front desk is not very helpful. The biggest problem I had was not having services I thought were included like an airport shuttle because I booked on hotels.com. I would not generally recommend this place as well because despite its proximity to the ferry to Gozo there was very little help to get out of this remote location. I was shocked at how little help was provided. To get to the ferry I could take a taxi, a bus or walk on the highway despite it being a 15 minute walk away. Perhaps this will resolve itself when construction is finished, but generally it was not a great experience.
