Would not recommend this hotel.

Would not recommend this hotel for families. Firstly when we arrived, checked in and our room key wouldn't work. The start of the downward trend. Went back to reception and they said they reset the keys. But this didn't work. I returned to reception. They got another member of staff to reprogram the key cards. And.... Low and behold they still didn't work. We're travelling with our 18month old baby and this was 12am at night, as our flight was delayed by 2hrs. Yet they didnt once see an urgency to get us sorted, there was an air of arrogance about this place. Finally they came up to the room with a master key and let us in. But that there would be no key card until maintenance are back in the building in the morning. So someone has to stay in the room to get back in. The next morning after breakfast we returned to reception, as instructed, only to have to explain the whole of ordeal once again, to staff who knew nothing about it and were not left instructions by night staff as to the issues. So we had to go through something similar again with keys until eventually Maintenance came to fix the lock. Unfortunately this was temporary as the next day upon returning from a day trip we couldn't access our room again. It's laughable really. Not once did we get an apology. We met a number of other families with similar issues so it wasn't just us. The food was very lacking unfortunately. It looks amazing online. In reality it wasn't very fresh. Breakfast in particular.

We stayed April 6th through 19th. For an all inclusive resort it’s a fail. I understand a deposit for pool towels and robes, but a five euro charge for cleaning the robes? Though there are water dispensers available you must bring your own containers. No soda or juice for you in room refrigerator, if you want the available you must pay a 24.95 euro per person per day for an upgrade. Most just go to the store in neighborhood. We had a studio room, 731. Noisy due to working on street ( street side room) installing underground pipes or wire. Asked if there was other room available on other side of resort away from noise, was told to check next morning. Check three times same answer. Baby next door would wake up crying around two am for an hour. Wife couldn’t rest during the day as baby would cry again. She call front desk and was told there was no child nearby until a supervisor came to check and realize there was a child in next room and was crying because being in a different environment. On Friday another manager, a tall woman whose name I believe begins with a E, offered to move us and offer complementary sodas because staff never addressed our problems and she would speak with staff. We did get a room change, room 132, but no sodas. With the inattentive staff and charges for sodas and robe cleaning I would not be staying at any related resorts affiliated with this brand.

The saving grace to this property is that the rooms were very quiet. We are a couple and had 2 single beds pushed together, each with its own set of single bed sheets and blankets. The food at the buffet was mediocre. The coffee was great. All the common areas were so busy and extremely noisy. The lobby, bars, coffee shop, buffet restaurant, elevators, pool, gym (which is also open to the public). For us it was too busy of a hotel to want to spend any time there.

Staff friendly and generally helpful. Rooms very hot, air-con not switched on as winter season despite 24 deg temperatures. Made sleeping a little uncomfortable. Food good and always well cooked. Good variety if a little repetitive. Salia restaurant very good. Pool area clean and well looked after, plenty of sun beds. Area around hotel a little run down and lots of road/ building work, but no noise heard within the hotel. Bus station a few mins walk so easy to get around the island. Cocktails in kosy bar seemed watered down and tasteless, but were much better in cafe maroc. Lifts to dining room out of order for 3 of the 5 days we were there, didnt affect us as we used the stairs , but less mobile had a circuitous route!

Maybe the staff on the outside bar could smile a bit 😄but it didnt bother us .First class from the reception staff especially Hicham, that sorted out a little problem straight away. Lovely man. Hotel was absolutely spotless, and considering how full the hotel was hats off to each and every one .Room was cleaned every day with again lovely staff .Hopefully it wont be our last stay at the brilliant hotel ,even though we are both in our seventies now .

There were some setback we experienced during our check-in and at the spa. I’m glad though for the management's prompt attention to the matter, particularly in arranging and moving us in a better room. It may not be the best in our opinion but we were fine with it. We appreciate their courtesy in resolving the issue. As for the VIP benefit, we actually wouldn’t get the upgrade and the wine if we didn’t asked and had the problem about the room they gave us. We didn’t get any access either nor was informed about their VIP lounge. But it’s okay, not a big deal. Overall, we enjoyed the location, service, and the warm hospitality of most of the staff. Ms . Lucie at the front desk in particular, is to be commended for her friendliness and work ethic. We appreciate Ms. Hail as well for her professionalism and for reaching out before we left the hotel. While the hotel building may benefit from renovations, its price and amenities offer excellent value, making it a recommendable choice. We're looking forward to our next visit to Malta. It was a good and memorable vacation.

DB San Antonio 5 STARS

We have just returned home after another stay at DB San Antonio, Malta. We wanted to thank all the staff for making it a fabulous stay again (this was our 8th visit). Everything was perfect including the cleanliness of the room; the huge selection of fresh food was amazing; the entertainment in the Kosy bar; the reception team; all staff are so helpful. We would like to specifically thank Shaira on Reception. We were greeted with a big smile from her when we checked in. We were amazed that she remembered us from previous visits. She is always happy and smiling. Any enquiries we had she dealt with promptly and nothing is too much trouble for her. All the staff are a great asset but Shaira stood out. She's a Star. We look forward to returning again soon.

I don’t often write reviews however my fiance and I had a very underwhelming experience. This resort markets like it’s on the ocean when it’s not, there are additional costs on many items even with all inclusive. No drinks in the rooms. Not accommodating with shuttles and limited to no entertainment facilities. Also, I understand it was late November however we assumed the pool bar would still be open during the day. Unfortunately this was the worst all inclusive experience we’ve had.

The staff at the front desk were welcoming when we arrived. The rooms were what you would expect and clean and tidy. Our toilet was a bit weird as it was in a small space with the wall just over an arms length in front of us. The adult only pool (with an infinity edge) was wonderful, if slightly shallow. At the top of the building no music, a lovely place to relax and recharge. The main pool with the animation team had deeper parts (and shallower) but was noisy and busy. The food I would say disappointed. They made omelette, but not to order - for instance. It felt very samey , and the local snack/food/pastry were underwhelming. The book able dining options felt very similar (sushi was different, but still a buffet). The location is great , near the beach, the bus terminal - great transport links - and local shops (we even went to a famous fast food chain to get some ice cream. Would I go again? Not sure it was lovely and I felt rested when I returned to work. Thing is I’ve been to much better all inclusive hotels, consequently I think I’d rather not have the all inclusive option and go out to eat in this location.
