8/10 Very good

Amazing view of the bay from the hotel bar, restaurant and infinity pool. Rooftop pool with complimentary lounge beds were a big plus. Bar drinks and food very good. Breakfast very good. The location of hotel wasn’t great if you want to do anything besides stay in the hotel as there are no shops, and only one or two bars or restaurants nearby. There is no walkable central area for shopping. We had to travel a lot by Bolt taxi and bus. The hotel would suit a couple on a spa break but would be disappointing if you thought it was near amenities. We had to pay a €200 damage deposit on checking in which we didn’t expect. It was refunded a few days after check out. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean with big TV. We didn’t like the mirror over the bed. Not for us!

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.

Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

Fabulous Hotel, great food and lovely staff

We really enjoyed our stay here for lots of reasons. Right on St Paul’s Bay, we booked a sea view room which had a glass balcony so you could see the water from the room too. The styling of the hotel is quirky and eclectic, with its dark interiors and mood lighting. The room and bathroom is a great size with lots of storage, and a big circular bed with deep buttoning. The restaurant was excellent- really great quality food. The bar has a pool table, sports screens and a nice atmosphere. Both have great views as you are right on the water. The staff were very warm and welcoming.
