Nice break away

Great variety of food, great upstairs pool area, good that you can visit a la carte restaurants for free during all inclusive stay. South American restaurant was particularly good. Easy transport links if relying on buses/taxi (reccomend bolt). Bed however wasn’t the most comfortable, rooms had nice air con/facilities. Was welcomed with some fizz and plate of snacks for our anniversary which was nice. Plenty of sun loungers available each time we went to the pool often later on too and nice frontage to the rock beach. Standard all inclusive drinks, unfortunately on a mixer dispenser platform for cocktails but they were drinkable, good beer, wines also nice. Would stay here again if we went back to malta.

We had a really good stay at the Qawra. We’d been to Malta before and we preferred the buffet option this time compared to last time. We liked that the hotel provided an option to dine at a more fancier location on site. Hotel room was always clean and air con was working perfectly! Plenty of room to sunbathe and we enjoyed access to the sea from the hotel. Staff were friendly and accommodating. In terms of room for improvement, the hotel feels really dated on the insight. I think they are going through a renovation but it needs a lot of work to reflect its 4* rating. Considering our stay was during a very hot period, the general areas of the hotel were incredibly hot such as the lifts, the lobbies and in the corridors. It would benefit from having air con. So at times it was quite uncomfortable when going down to dinner etc.

I checked into my first room: The toilet flush didn't stop. The bed linen, pillows and duvets has an awful smell- almost like someone has urinated on them. Room service came immediately but the guy was very dismissive and said he couldn't smell anything: not a surprise as he was appropriately dressed in uniform and more like a painter. People walking around topless: I mentioned this to reception staff and they said there is a sign but they didn't have the courage to tell the customers not to walk around like that at reception. Also, there was a noise issue: the sea view portion of the hotel is nice, but the main central bit is like a run down council estate.

Place was nice, rooms were good, plenty of sunbeds, we weren’t all inclusive, only breakfast which was ok and not really crowded even at busy periods, but not as good choice as some other similar all inclusive places I’ve stayed. Howe ver the beach was closed as there was a sewage overrun into it, which you could smell from the sunbeds, not really a problem for us as we just walked up the coast to go swimming but not great if you wanted a dip in the seanext to the sunbeds, the rooftop bar would have been ok. Not sure of this was a one off but they seemed quite prepared for it and obviously have no control over it happening as it’s outside their hotel, it’s just the overflow pipe is in the hotel bathing area. Rooftop is nice bult it’s a small pool for the number of people

The property was spread over many floors , the lift system was not easy to navigate as not all the lifts took you to all the places. Was surprised that we couldn't take food or drink out of the main restaurant considering we was all inclusive. Also the room was cleaned every day and had to ring done to reception to order more milk and tea bags, this is a 4 star resort apparently, would have expected more.

I really liked the main reception and the general communal areas were all well laid out. Food and drink were pretty good as well and there was a lot of choice. Staff were all friendly. The only negatives were that the toast section for breakfast was way to small and cramped in as were the coffee stations. They should be split up more and it should be made clear that there is more than one machine per location
