Great hotel, definitely 5 stars. The view to Valletta from the ocean view room is amazing, makes a big difference. Clean, spacious bathroom, great selection at the buffet breakfast. Very friendly staff at the front desk. Pool a bit small, but if you booking morning hours, you will be able to find great sunbeds. Too busy in the afternoon. Great location. You can easily get to Valletta by ferry or local boatmen. Definitely will recommend this place.

You have to book the pool 24 hours in advance. It's a busy pool, and you have to go via a tunnel or cross the road, you can't "swim" at all as it's so busy, due to it not being owned by the hotel, it's a rental and anyone can do a day hire. You book either morning or afternoon slot, but hotel tell you to get to the pool for 9am for a good spot. I tried to book on Sunday evening for Monday morning and was told no, it's full. Strictly no food or drink allowed in, not even water. You have to buy from them. AC is awkward, you can't lower below 19c/66f, the max speed is very low, you can barely feel it in the room, and it turns off when you leave the room, so you can't "chill" the room for later. These are all "Green" measures, great for the environment but unpleasant to get ready in or sleep in. The hotel control the dials, as I had the engineer up thinking it was faulty, he confirmed it's correct. Bathroom has a horrible smell in the evenings. Shower head not central so causes a leak at the door seal on the tiled floor. If you ask the hotel for a bucket of ice, because you want to cool some water, they try you charge you €3 for the use of bucket!!! Luckily I was let off, but I've never experienced a charge anywhere in the world for a bucket, apparently a glass of ice is free. Location is good, shopping centre is 5 minutes walk away, Ferry to Valletta is a 7 minute walk away, costs €4 return, and takes 10 minutes, last ferry at midnight.  Several restaurants, bar

Overall very good, few things worth noting.
Overall our stay at the hotel was very good. Room was very spacious and staff were very attentative. Few things worth noting: - [ ] we were given a Disabled room , there wasn’t much space for our toiletries - [ ] Shower overflowed , the drainage system was noticeable poor, and we had to be careful how much water we used. Wasn’t a massive deal because there was only 2 of us - [ ] Beach club , not very relaxing - [ ] at the beach club, there were lots of locals who use the venue for day time drinking. Lively , and we didn’t mind , just bare in mind before booking. - [ ] we needed to secure our sun lounges early to get a good spot - [ ] there was 1 Power cut during our 7 days . water stopped working - but was fixed immediately - [ ] Werent able to book sun beds on 1 day as it was too busy - [ ] Weekends really busy - [ ] No water fountain in the gym - [ ] Guests are given less favourable loungers

Great if you don't want to use the pool
A lovely hotel with one major drawback - the swimming pool area. The pool is not for sole use of the hotel, it's part of a beach club. You need to book your slot 24 hours in advance and during busy times can only book half day slots. Worse still, the beach club assign less than favourable sunbeds to the hotel guests. On the first day we went there we were placed next to the very smelly bins along with all the other hotel guests. Access to the beach club is either through a labyrith of tunnels beneath the hotel and main road or by crossing the road. It's not part of the hotel. Other than that it was great.

I’ve enjoyed the stay at this hotel. Mainly the view we had was amazing and the size of the balcony was great. Also rooms were modern, lots of space for clothes, luggages. Walking distance to the shopping center, beach. The downside was the leak of water from the shower door.

Had a very enjoyable stay at the hotel, service and staff were first class, breakfast was a great start to the day and we had a great view of Valetta from our 7th floor sea view room. However, the hotel has great pictures of the outdoor pool and gym in its advertising. These are not run by the hotel and close early at the weekend. They are also a long underground corridor over the road from the main hotel so not as convenient as you think. The beds at the pool also have to be booked a day in advance - though we managed to get in on the day. Just be aware of this when booking. I'd still recommend.

The location of this hotel is perfect and we would choose it again. It's a lovely property with incredible staff and impeccably clean. Our room had stunning views of Valetta, yet felt like a bit of an oasis from the busy surrounding areas. Everything is walkable. The only small point that's not as ideal is that hotel guests are treated differently at the pool as it's a private club. Otherwise, this is a perfect choice for a stay in Malta. It was the best part of our trip.
