The location is very convenient with a great supermarket right next door. We did experience a few hiccups during our stay, such as a leaking bathroom sink and a cockroach in our room, but housekeeping deserves praise for handling it incredibly fast. Good to know for future guests: the breakfast is not self-service and the gym could use an update since some of the equipment is older or out of order. Overall an okay stay, but there is definitely some room for improvement regarding maintenance.

All areas of the hotel were clean. The staff were very polite and helpful. The food was good, not excellent, it was buffet style but you didn’t get to plate it yourself. Good choice of drinks with All inclusive. Didn’t get to use the pools, only small but the looked good. We would probably book again.

Average hotel

The hotel had a good breakfast buffet and dinner was reasonable priced I ate it once. I only stayed due to the good value per night and it been a 4 star, its not of 4 star standard in Ireland but I guess you dont need much to be a 4 star in Malta.

Very good customer service, staff was attentive and helpful. Transport from hotel was very safe and convenient. Busses ran on time and on a whole everything was cost effective, especially the shop within the hotel. Also the hotel decor is fitting regarding the time it was built. There are mordern hotels in the area, but it is obvious these buildings have been built recently and cannot be compared to Bella Vista Hotel.

Staff were exceptional. The hotel is a little out of the way from bars / restaurants / Activities. (Except for the park across the road). Also parking is difficult (it always is in Malta though). Sitting outside the front is very noisy due to busy road. The pool area is fine.

This hotel is in a great location close to shops and promenade with an easy access to buses and other locations by car The room was thoroughly cleaned everywhere including washing the floor and make the beds look pretty. The breakfast was nice and I like the idea of being served rather than self service. This makes it more hygienic. Evening entertainment was great and the bar staff were really friendly. Will definitely return. Also liked the shop near the reception. Friendly lady served us and the prices are reseobable.

The hotel offered us everything we expected. We were half board and found the food varied and plentiful. The room was clean and had a fridge and kettle,however no tea or coffee provided. The bed was comfortable.There was a hairdryer. Hot water was instant and always available. The hotel has several bus stops around and is within walking distance of the sea front. The staff were very efficient ,polite and friendly. My only criticism is that our room had very little daylight but we didn't spend that much time inside!

It's not a 4* hotel.. Hotel location and common facilities: - The hotel has a bus stop near by but if you are looking for dining places, beach or activities you'll have to walk 15 / 20 min or take a bus / drive. There is nothing close by, except one or two convenience shops; - The hotel as a whole looks old and outdated, like it had stopped in time - Most of the time there was no AC on in the reception / lobby area or in the restaurant, so it got really hot - The swimming pool is small and because of the huge wall that surrounds it, you get a lot of shadow in the afternoon (after 3pm) Our room: - It was located in the back of the hotel, seemed like an extra part of the building, given we had to use a different lift to get there; - The room was not the one we booked, as it had kitchen and our initial one didn't. However, this kitchen was useless, because there was nothing to use it (not even a bowl or a fork). Actually the only thing we could use was the fridge that was super noisy at night, while we wanted to sleep; -There were no blackout curtains, so at 6am you could get naturally awake by the sunshine. Even with the toilet door closed, one could hear water going down the pipes every time someone was using the toilet in the rooms above. The windows were old and all outside noise was heard. - The bed was old and not comfy at all. There was mold in the WC. The breakfast was poor and the restaurant looked like a greenhouse so hot there

It was generally okay. My biggest two complaints was the food and the lack of warning against other hotel attendees. Thankfully, we only opted for the breakfast option - not all inclusive - the breakfast was edible but nothing exciting. Dinner was not much better. Adding onto this, you’re not allowed to get your own food, there are staff at every food option waiting to serve you. Personally I didn’t like this as I think there’s joy in picking what you like and trying different things, it generally felt awkward. My other complaint is that during our stay there were constant summer camps there, which basically meant relaxing with 13 year olds (7-15 my guess) running around. While they weren’t a massive issue, on occasions they were loud, bothered other guests and got in trouble with the staff. I even spoke to one of the camp coordinators and she said she would hate it if she booked her holiday here. It would have been nice to have been made aware of this as me and my partner came to relax and they were just a nuisance. Overall the hotel is okay, lovely pool and sun loungers, coffee bar was affordable and the shop was useful. The room was also a standard level, very average. I can’t remember how much we payed ( 2 adults, 7 days ) but I would not pay more than ish £100 a night. Thankfully there is a lovely bakery next door which we got dinner from, and is a 20 min walk to the centre of the bay where we had a fantastic meal at Nine Lives. Take this as you will, hope this helps.
