The hotel was lovely, clean, well looked after. The staff were superb and extremely helpful and friendly, they made the stay for me. The restaurants were good, not overly priced. The breakfast was ok, plenty of choice but I would prefer fresh juice and served tea/coffee to the table but that's a personal preference. The spa treatment we had was amazing. Overall we loved the hotel and would go again

Very nice hotel with great helpful staff!! The hotel is kept clean and the buffet breakfast is fab with plenty of choices so if go make sure you book breakfast included as we saw a couple who was turned away from the restaurant The position is good although there are road woes at the moment so bus stop was temp moved but still well positioned. A few ramp of stairs to get from the main road though so take it easy 😉 We tried Tosca the first night. Food was ok but we found it a bit pricey compared to the rest of Malta. Porthouse steak restaurant next door is amazing Many thanks to the lady who checked us in on the 1st May before dinner who was super lovey and helpful!!
