Good choice of pools, good choice buffet breakfast but fruit juice machine gave out weak watery juices. Nice size room but took three attempts to get the four towels we asked for. There were four of us (family room) and only got two sets if towels initially.

Overall a great stay, very nice hotel in a location which suited our needs. The breakfast buffet was very good, although items were not as readily available later in the morning.
James, 5-night trip

There really wasn't anything much to do in this are that was walkable. The hotel itself was a great deal but I thought there would be more things to go in this town. All the action was in Valetta.

Fiorenza, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Overall, pretty good. We had a superior room but I wasn’t sure what was superior about it. Bathroom was nice but the furniture was a bit dated. Tiny balcony with a table and chairs but you had to move them to get on to it. I would stay there again
8-night trip

8/10 Good

Great place to stay! Food options are halal, themed buffet nights and a restaurant on site. Very clean and the spa is lovely with lots of treatments to choose from. Had one of the best facials there! Rooms were a little small considering we booked studio rooms. Rooms came with a spacious bathroom and a built in kitchen. Would have like more in room services such as water bottles and an iron.
Sidra, 4-night trip
