The rooms could use an update but the staff was kind and the beach access was so special! The staff by the pool and beach were extra friendly! Breakfast was HUGE… bed was comfy… highly recommend if you want a hotel with direct beach access and close to Valetta. Finally, the spa was so lovely and I got a facial that was so soothing! Debora was the therapist and she’s just a sweetheart!

The hotel is in a great location. The pool and bar are fantastic with opportunity to swim in the sea. However, for our taste the decor was a bit dated and in a few places felt it needed updating (cracked tiles etc). Finally, check in was a bit slow. Other than that, I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again when we return to Malta.

This hotel has a great location and the pool is large and it has a small beach. The not so good is that it’s incredibly tired, like it’s in the early 90s still, the foods not great and most of the staff seem somewhat detached. I heard it’s closing in February for a much needed refit. I would avoid until it reopens.

The hotel is comfortable, in working order and in beautiful surroundings, it is however, absolutely not a five star. Our room positioning was great overlooking the harbour, we were on level one but the buffet is level five and reception is six! The rooms were serviced every day but really need more attention - you could write your name in the dust on the bedside cabinets! The showers are old fashioned, you push the shower head into a bracket. Ours would turn sideways due to the water pressure, saturating the bathroom! We did report this and it got better but there was no sign of a proper repair. Breakfast was chaos, the couple of times we went, we were met by a queue of at least twenty people in front of us, so we gave up the rest of the week! There's a notice which encourages guests to go to breakfast earlier as it's quieter, but given we get up early for work the rest of the year, we have no interest in getting up at the crack of dawn just to eat on holiday! They need to do better, reorganise and rethink their timings, so it's not a cattle market at popular times! Similarly with check in, waited far too long! The hotel also charged me £1400 despite being fully paid up through Expedia. Luckily, I'd noticed on my bill a couple of days after and they refunded the same € amount but I was then left £40 short due to the exchange rate. Fortunately, the credit card co are sorting. One Receptionist said yes she's made a mistake, some mistake! The apology was distinctly lacking!

Outside hotel needs a refresh. Beautiful gardens etc. Public areas are great. The buffet is ok but some food appears to be lightly cooked ie sausages. Chairs in di ing room hit and miss as wobbly, staff often unable to understand stuff. Room was musty, bathroom dated, no spare plugs, no usb, basically room needed to be updated. Balcony very bland, great view but no plants. Bar areas excellent and coffee good. Pool area good as well. Position of hotel fine, they did provide a shuttle to main town but that ended 8pm.
