Great place to stay! Food options are halal, themed buffet nights and a restaurant on site. Very clean and the spa is lovely with lots of treatments to choose from. Had one of the best facials there! Rooms were a little small considering we booked studio rooms. Rooms came with a spacious bathroom and a built in kitchen. Would have like more in room services such as water bottles and an iron.

A well maintained property with clean and comfortable room. Shoulder season and rooftop pools not heated. Breakfast is above average although limited gluten free choices I overpaid booking ahead. In spring one could get same room for almost half listed price last minute Plenty of restaurants in area. Great bus service to airport, Gozo and Valetta by boat piers a 15 minute bus ride away

Wonderful hotel to stay in north of the island. Was a bit sad initially to see it was quite far from the beach but the wonderful views from the terrace top very much make up for that and the local bus network is spot on so you can get most places like the beach quite quickly. It is also very handy for local shops and restaurants. The main hotel restaurant shuts quite early but then we were probably out of season. The top restaurant remains open quite late I think. Any query I had was answered by the lovely and friendly staff. You are spoilt for choice with pools. The top pools are stunning and very refreshing. We backed onto the bottom garden heated pool which was lovely and quiet in the mornings. Was a shame we couldnt get direct access to it as they informed us our balcony gate stayed shut but otherise it was a bonus and local friendly cats that visit were also very sweet and a huge bonus- they only say hello if they know you're friendly! Lots of sweet little birds around too. Can honestly say it is one of the best hotels I have stayed. I really hope to return one day and make proper use of the spa. Thanks to all who make it a lovely stay!

Great hotel for the Mallehia area. Lovely roofdeck and front desk was super helpful and friendly. Buying breakfast option is a great idea and buying 2-3 of the buffet dinners (more affordable and more food options) than local restaurants. The indoor pool wasn’t heated until we asked about it. The roofdeck pool that was supposed to be headed was out of service. Bring your own beach towel for hotel. They give you a beach towel but then it’s €5 to exchange them out. I get that some people abuse the system but €5 is almost equavalent to buying a new towel at the beach. Charging €1-2 makes more sense. Overall had a nice stay in Malta and would stay at the hotel again if I was in this area again.

Clean, modern and spacious rooms and great service

The hotel is very nice, spacious rooms and great condition. The service was also gr at and reception was very helpful with any queries. The indoor swimming pool is a great feature and the family enjoyed it fully. Little things such as having shampoo in the room could be improved and the construction works are not great if you wanna rest but apart from that all was great, would love to stay again
