Good hotel with some issues

It was a shame that our first impression of this hotel was awful as we were placed in a room just opposite renovations, a pneumatic drill causing the room to vibrate! We were moved to a smaller room which they assured us was the same category. I cannot understand why the hotel would put any guest in the initial room. The hotel itself was fine, we stayed half board and found the food to be good and inclusive of wine. Pool was clean and well maintained. A big moan for us was the water in the room was not suitable for drinking and one bottle of water for the whole trip was provided. We were told it was forbidden to fill our water bottle in the restaurant which was unbelievable and not really safe if room water was not to be drunk. They did say we could buy bottled water in the shop which was incredibly environmentally unsound. If you stay at this hotel buy bay view rooms as our room overlooked the car ferries to Gozo which probably wasn’t the best. Overall this was an OK hotel that could be really good. The food in the beach bar was fantastic though

Malta at its best

Beautiful views as you enter the hotel reception where it is extremely spacious and banned by very attentive and professional staff. Our room was on a high floor overlooking the sea with sliding doors out onto a balcony. The room had comfortable clean beds, and lots of toiletries included in the bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities also in the room. For storage the room had lots of space in two massive wardrobes and a large chest of drawers. Bathroom had a deep bath with a shower over it which had a wonderful pressure of hot water. The room also had a refrigerator which was really handy as well as superb air conditioning and an extra large electric ceiling fan. The restaurant on the first floor overlooks the stunning bay and out to sea with a fantastic array of foods for breakfast including four different juices, pork sausages, chicken sausages, fried tomatoes, bacon, baked beans, fried eggs or scrambled as well as fried potato squares. Various cereals, yogurts and lots of savoury dishes including hams and cheeses. Evening meals consisting of many different courses with so many different choices as well as an ice cream machine, the evening meal also includes free white wine, red wine, rose wine, water and beer. Each evening there was live entertainment consisting sometime an electronic organist as well as a live singer. Three lifts to choose from and really comfortable settees and chairs in and around the reception. Very good indoor and outdoor pools as well as use of a gym!!

We thought the property was in an excellent location, near the ferry terminal to Gozo as well as many buses to/from various hotspots in Malta including the capital, Valletta and an express X1 public bus service to the airport. If you prefer to sleep with a window or balcony door open, we recommend you opt for a Bay View room rather than a Sea View room as some of the latter rooms are beside the busy main road to the ferry port and the ferry runs 24hours! Although we were promptly transferred to a quieter room the next day (we were booked for 16 nights and a good night's rest on your holiday should not be optional), we were then disturbed by drilling/refurbishment work in the room above and then extensive refurbishment work being carried out to one of the wings of the hotel which was audible and visible from our room/balcony. It was disappointing that the hotel did not make guests aware of this obviously planned programme of work on the website as this would have been an honest policy, giving guests the option to book elsewhere. Having said that, we found our quieter room to be spacious and very clean, the bed was very comfortable with a spacious bathroom and great shower over bath. The fixtures and fittings were good quality mid century vintage teak which made a nice change from all the new ultra modern/sterile design/materials which are not as good quality. We would definitely return but would check with hotel re: building work beforehand.

Stay away if you want a decent food or hotel

Accomodation quality that of a 3 start motel with lots of overdue maintenance. Family room is a joke with 4 beds in a row without a space to walk between them. Rooms facing a road are very noisy during the night as local boy racers seems to treat that road as a race track. Food quality probably only rivals that of students' cafeteria, hardly edible and frankly raising a question how it is possible to get such a badly cooked meals with what seemed like reasonable ingridients. Given Malta's restaurants aren't that expensive the extra for full board at this place is just not worth it. Overall it is bearable for a night or two but clearly a gross exaggeration to call it a hotel, let alone 4 star.

Very outdated rooms that aren’t in great working order. Dining room is very big and bright. 3 great swimming pools and the resort has access directly to the Mediterranean. Didn’t like being nickel and dimed for everything. No coffee in room but can buy some downstairs, for example. Staff weren’t overly knowledgeable and not super helpful when we had questions. We just figured things out ourselves. Although the hotel is fine and has great potential we would not stay here again.

Great but double check sleeping arrangements.

Great hotel, quiet location and nice beach opposite but we booked for 2 adults and 2 adult teenagers. The accomodation had 1 room and a bathroom. The hotel chucked a couple of fold up beds either side of the main bed. Not suitable for a family of 4. I had to book another room for the week as reception refused to help. Should not have been sold as an adult family stay.

Good family hotel, great location

The room was great value for the season. One annoyance was it being described as a ‘Sea View Room’ when my room, 271, is one of the few rooms at the hotel that does not look onto the sea unless you consider stepping out on the balcony and stretching out on the side to see the sea as sea view. Breakfast includes a variety of hot and cold options. You can’t fault the location; a few minutes from the Gozo ferry and bustling Mellieha with its many restaurants. Staff are at hand at reception 24 hours and the minor issues I experienced were resolved within minutes. I am surprised so few people use the private beach at Porto Lounge.

Nice hotel and services. But having no charging port next to the bed was inconvenient as well as the bed itself. I only stayed for 3 nights and could already feel full body pain. If this is a 4**** then the bed should be an example of it.
