Great place to stay as a solo traveler peaceful plenty of sun beds lovely pool clean good sized room with a little balcony. Special thanks to Jacob for putting sun lotion on my back (solo traveler) and just a genuine polite young man an absolute asset to your hotel and to Stephan on reception for your kindness on my last evening and as I had booked early I had complimentary breakfast I’ve had a great stay!

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!

Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück Zimmer und Wasserqualitätsind unserer Meinung sehr schlecht. Zimmer absolut schlecht renoviert! Da kommt kein wohlfühlfaktor auf.Zum Frühstück nur Toast und harte Brötchen. Pool so trüb das man seine Füße nicht sehen kann und die liegen sind mit schimmel versehen. Aussenansicht der Hotelanlage auch nicht besonders einladend. Wir können die Bewertung auf der Seite von Expedia absolut nicht nachvollziehen! Wir kommen nicht wieder.

Lors de notre séjour, nous avons rencontré un désagrément à cause de la présence de bêtes dans la chambre. Heureusement, un employé très professionnel a su gérer la situation rapidement en nous proposant un changement de chambre. Celle-ci était globalement propre, bien que la cuisine laissait à désirer : les couverts et les casseroles étaient sales. Autre point négatif, le bruit environnant était particulièrement dérangeant. Les gens autour étaient très bruyants, sans aucun respect : cris, coups, objets lancés… Malgré cela, nous avons tout de même passé un bon séjour dans l’ensemble.
