We enjoyed the breakfast, ordering from the menu was nice, however we would’ve appreciated a wider choice of fruit options in the buffet section. We ate dinner once at the hotel, the portions were huge, neither of us could finish our meal - two sides each came with a lot of the main courses. The room was comfortable - it had an in room jacuzzi which we had paid extra for. On entering the room the floor was wet with condensation, it was really slippery. This was dangerous. We managed to try it out by leaving the air con on constantly which was achievable when we got a second room key, this was removed from the slot once or twice by staff and then the wet floor recurred. The jacuzzi sadly didn’t work for the first three nights of our four night stay. The hotel spend three days trying to fix it and then we were able to use it on our final night. This was a real shame and part of the reason we had selected the room. They did refund some money which we appreciated. Overall the hotel is new, the roof top pool and bar and the indoor pool are nice. Hopefully the spa will be up and running soon. We never struggled to find parking on the road outside which was handy. The staff tried to help sort the jacuzzi but it was a shame it took 3 days out of the four we were there. I wouldn’t bother with a jacuzzi room in the future, our room also led directly out to the sea with a ladder and that was far better.

Bravo Damare!

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel! Our long weekend was incredibly relaxing, even though we visited during the off-season—the weather still allowed us to enjoy both the rooftop pool and bar. Their mojitos are second to none, made with premium liquor brands. The cave pool in the basement on level -2 was also impressive; the water was warm, and the cavern itself was spacious, featuring side windows that offered beautiful views of the bay (no need to worry about feeling confined). The soothing sound and ambiance of the waterfall added to the relaxation. For those who love swimming outdoors, you can access the bay directly from level -3. The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping our room tidy every day. Staff members consistently exceeded our expectations with their service. In addition to the hotel's remarkable restaurants, there are two other dining options next door and more just down the street, plus a convenient store nearby. Public transportation is easily accessible with a bus stop only steps away, and we found Bolt rides to Valetta and Mdina quick and reliable. This adults-only hotel creates a peaceful atmosphere that made our trip extra rejuvenating. We definitely plan to return—it’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect.

Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

My spouse and I recently checked in at Damare Resort & Spa for our honeymoon, booking a suite with beach access. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected and paid for. Upon arrival, the general upkeep of the property appeared less maintained than suggested by online ratings and photos. Our biggest issue, however, was with the room itself. We had booked and paid for a spacious suite with direct beach access. What we received was a tiny room that bore no resemblance to a suite, and no beach access. Instead, we had a small, two-foot walkout onto artificial turf, situated off a cliff, definitely not the "beach access" we were promised. We approached the front desk to address this discrepancy, explaining that the room was not what we had paid for. We requested to be moved to a suite we had booked. The staff informed us there was "nothing they could do," leaving us with no resolution. To compound our frustration, after returning to our room, a glass vase was dropped outside our door. Shards of glass then splintered and entered our room through the gap under the door. Given the significant disparity disparity between what was advertised and what we received, we felt we had no option but to check out immediately. We are extremely dissatisfied with our stay and the hotel's refusal to issue a refund despite the misrepresentation of the room and the overall negative experience.

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.
