2/10 Poor

Our first room smelled so bad on poison( later discovered that there's so many little bugs) tha we had to ask for another one. To their credit they did change it immediately. The room was old and outdated . No safe deposit box , horrible bed, bed sheet would have been frrom ww2 same with the pillows.Towels were old as well. The ceiling fan was shaking at low and high speed the air-conditioning wasn't cooling as it should but making a loud noise. Had full board paid but used it only once as i wasn't impressed(different taste maybe but some people were eating).don't know how it got rated 4 stars but this is definitely the worst hotel that we stayed in. Do not do the same mistake as i did thinking its a 4 star should be good.

Amazing place
This hotel was absolutely lovely! It is only a short walk from the beach and there are many restaurants and shops around. There was music in the evening and dancing which was so fun! There is an indoor and outdoor pool that are open 9-6. The breakfast buffet had lots of options. The room was nice and clean. I would definitely stay there again next time I come to Malta

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is clean. Unfortunately we try to grade during asked day to all inclusive but they refused wasn’t that the state was really good. The breakfast are OK but please be careful as I found a fly in the milk, but they quickly changed it. The food is OK. The staff are not all the best, but Natalie is fantastic. She has a time for you.

4/10 Fair

Front desk staff and housekeeping staff were pleasant and helpful. However, I kept having a bad experience with one of the employees who serves the breakfast in the morning (woman, wears glasses); she was rude, to say the least, and considering she was being pleasant with everyone else, I can’t help but take it personal considering it happened every timeI went downstairs for breakfast. When it comes to the hotel itself, gym is very tiny, has a dirty carpet, and weights are practically non existent (enough stationary bikes and treadmills, though). Air conditioning in the main foyer feels nice and is strong; however don’t let that fool you as in the rooms it is not controlled by the individual guest themselves, therefore the rooms can get quite hot during the day which makes them almost uninhabitable. The ceiling fan and the closing of the curtains helps, along with being practically naked. I did see a cockroach in the room. TV is small, no remote to be found. Bed was a good size, but had a spring mattress so it was quite uncomfortable. The hotel is within walking distance to several spots.

I really enjoyed the food. A substantial breakfast and good evening meal which always had a starter, meat, fish or veggie options, salads and a range of desserts. Very efficient restaurant with helpful and friendly staff. Although it advertises free parking, this was on the road outside and spaces were hard to find.
