The property was spread over many floors , the lift system was not easy to navigate as not all the lifts took you to all the places. Was surprised that we couldn't take food or drink out of the main restaurant considering we was all inclusive. Also the room was cleaned every day and had to ring done to reception to order more milk and tea bags, this is a 4 star resort apparently, would have expected more.

Stayed here for four nights prior to a cruise from Valletta, great location to explore Malta, most places are €12 in an Uber. Restaurant was great with food always hot and with a good selection. Would definitely recommend.

I really liked the main reception and the general communal areas were all well laid out. Food and drink were pretty good as well and there was a lot of choice. Staff were all friendly. The only negatives were that the toast section for breakfast was way to small and cramped in as were the coffee stations. They should be split up more and it should be made clear that there is more than one machine per location

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.

Had seaview room, which was lovely, but couldn’t have door open or sit on balcony for long as the road is very noisy. Hotel is very big. Food was good, but restaurant very overcrowded

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!
