Definitely not a 4 star property. Room very dated, 2 adults & 2 children given 4 single pop up beds to sleep on! No staff presence at all around the pool area, guests allowed to smoke drugs, hold their own karaoke party! Pool filters clogged up with dirt, hair and garbage. Friday, Saturday & Sunday pool area overrun with people arriving for the ‘sunset BBQ’, which was over priced.

We really enjoyed the hotel as a family. The breakfast opportunity was a bit low just with beans bacon's eggs I agree a lot us from England but when we are in holiday we would like to try something else. The dinner was amazing with a lot of fruit and seafood options. We had for the evening some game place so we enjoyed that aswell. The view was really nice and around the hotel a lots of very good opportunity for a water sport.

This hotel is easy walking distance to the Gozo ferry terminal. There is a restaurant at the hotel as well as an excellent casual restaurant across the street. We enjoyed the live music in the evening in the lobby bar area. Views from the room to the water were great.

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.
