The hotel itself was amazing. Should definitely be rated 5* instead of 4*. The chicken is halal at the resturant even though was told meat and poultry wasnt when i emailed the hotel before booking. This should be communicated more with staff. The food itself was great and accomodating as they has pizza chips and different types of pastas everyday. They have a section for kids too. Location is a luttle away from centre of malta but i knew this before booking. Pool and surrounding areas are cleaned and immaculate. Its great that they have a heated pool inside as weather was a little chilly for the pool outside. Views from rooftop bar is amazing. Overall a lovely stay and would recommend if you want to be away from the hustle and buslte.

Like a nice cruise

Would be a suitable hotel for extended stay with family and or friends. The buffet was large and convenient, but the food is British inspired. There are a lot of activities and public spaces, similar to a cruise ship.

The staff were amazing and so helpful. My son has multiple allergies and they made special meals for him and were very attentive, especially a manager Sarita who would always check in on him. This made all the difference and it was a perfect place for a family holiday, my son thoroughly enjoyed himself, as did we!

I have stayed here on many previous occasions & this hotel is very good. I however on this visit was not overly impressed with the service due to the performance of organising a later check out & also being locked out of my room due to this.

The hotel is huge, despite it looking older than its rivals, the internal decoration was good and was very clean. The rooms were large and we had a seaview. I can find little fault with our stay here. We visited in February and despite some building work going on (which was well advertised) there is plenty to see and do. The evening entertainment was very good. The food choices were fantastic (something for everyone) with of course unlimited drinks in the food restaurants and bars if you are doing AI. The roof top pool has spectacular views and is definitely worth a visit, even if you don't want to dip your toes in the cooler water found in Feb. The indoor pool in the sub-basement is really catered for the spa customers even though it is open to everyone. Based on the 'open to everyone' the changing areas need to be much larger in regards to actual undressing etc and the Sauna and Steam room do need to be larger, but i can appreciate that in peak season these areas would be rarely used. We have stayed in a lot of hotels and what i would say, is those people that moan about this and that, are talking rubbish. Where else can you get a room, all inclusive food and drink for approx £60 a night !! I would not hesitate to book this hotel again. The staff work extremely hard to try and make everyones visit the best that they can.
