Damp room

The location is amazing, we had a three week stay, first week was fine but unfortunately we were in a room on the fourth floor that was damp, the staff are amazing but unfortunately due to the hotel being booked out they could not move us to another room. We were given a dehumidifier that did not work and had to put up with having damp clothes and bed every morning probably due to not being able to change the air conditioning settings to dry as the air-conditioning is set centrally.

The surrounding area is really stunning but.... The great - amazing clean property in spite of the construction. They are building several new towers and yet the place was spotless. We did not get any noise where we were at either. The not so great. The beach was "closed" so only the pools could be used, which was a problem as there is not much around the property. Also, a car is needed if you stay there unless you stay at the property the whole time, which honestly I would not recommend as Malta's natural beauty is incredible. The very bad. I booked a panoramic sweet - part of our 33 weeding anniversary. They gave me one but what I could really see was the roof of the restaurant and very little the sea. What was even more frustrating is that the promised me to relocate us the next day since the day we checked in the were "fully", but they ended up never reaching out to us again... we ended up not staying at the property except for sleeping as it sucked. the picture they show can be very misleading. Also bfast is plenty, but litte in terms of quality except for eggs - not even cofffe itself is good.

Stayed for 5 nights. The staff were extremely attentive and friendly. A special thank you to Nisha who made sure that we were happy with our room. The panoramic suite was wonderful. The only problem for us was the lack of soundproofing between rooms. Unfortunately for the last 2 nights we had neighbours who blared the TV constantly all day from 5am. The other slight let down was the children in the spa pool which is the only in door pool. However the hotel does seem to be geared towards families. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay with fabulous food.

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.
