The property was very clean and well maintained, and all of the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The hotel is also in a great location, with easy access to transport links to Valletta, making it convenient for exploring the area. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a huge variety of choices — definitely worth adding as an extra. One thing worth noting is that the outdoor pool setup was a little different from how it appears in the online photos. The pool is actually located across the road as part of a beach club, and guests need to book sunbed slots either from 9am–2pm or 2pm–6pm. The front row closest to the water is reserved for the general public, so hotel guests cannot use those beds. You can access the area either by crossing the road or via the hotel’s underground corridors. Beach towels were conveniently provided by reception.

The location was great and the staff were very friendly. The one major problem for me was in the bathroom. I have physical limitations and the bathtub was so huge it was difficult to get into. The single grab bar was very badly placed and there was nothing else to hold on to. As a result, I had to shower sitting in the stool provided.
