A place you keep coming back to

It was our second time at the hotel and we even got to stay in the same room. Although the decor may be a little bit dated in the bathroom, the overall impression of the place is one of great comfort and charm. The public areas of very well appointed and inviting. The heated pool is such an additional bonus. The staff is wonderful, the food terrific and the surroundings simply stunning.

Amazing service! Spa pool was heated and area around pool was beautiful. Massages excellent. You have to indulge in the espresso martini! Breakfast and dinner were fabulous. You also have to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Ta’ Cenc cliffs and use their loungers and swim in the cove. Amazing! Bring water shoes to walk along the cliff area, hand rails down to Mediterranean Sea and cafe for what u need. Stunning! We celebrated our 31st anniversary. Thank you for those small personal touches for our stay.

Simply the best!

This is our favourite hotel in the world! It has recently been upgraded with beautiful gardens and redecorated bedrooms. Very comfy beds- I checked out the mattress to see if I can buy one- called Windsor but made in Malta! Another lovely stay with much use of the beautiful spa pool and lovely breakfasts outdoors by the carob tree, with very friendly cats as well! The best relaxing place ever…oh and great evening meals too!

Ta Cenc is a wonderful place to relax. In spite of stormy weather we had a great time; the spa pool is well heated and a lovely setting, and the food was excellent. We have been staying here for 8 years but never in the winter before. The experience was just as enjoyable as on a summer’s day. We’ll be back again in the spring! Ps we love the friendly cats!
