The resort is very nice clean and has a great view of the beach but the food at the restaurants was awful Worse food I’ve ever had a sentiment shared by most guests Although it’s all inclusive we found ourselves eating out every day

The staff were at first stating that we were not due a bottle of wine. When I showed them the printed page showing it the reluctantly said we would get it but it took 2 days to arrive. The place is too big............sprawled and full of children who were helping themselves at the buffet tables plus running around which was dangerous for a number of handicapped seniors.

The view was nice. Easy access to the beach. I did not like the availability of specialty restaurants. The staff did not explain what amenities were available when we checked in. In an emergency, staff was not trained and put guests at potential risk.

No warning about building works
We were not told about building works. Hammer drills all day long even at weekends. This rather spoiled things for us. Hotel and grounds were very clean. We were all inclusive plus and guest relations were excellent ensuring that we were happy with everything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The food was excellent, all staff members were extremely friendly and helpful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Plenty of space around the pool areas and a beautiful view of the sea. We would definitely come again.

Pool was good and the service was good. The hotel food was very good with a good choice of food for adults and children and the drinks were decent quality as well. The hallways and rooms did have quite a few ants around and there were quite a few wasps around the pool area especially if drinks were left out or spilled. The mini golf was pretty poor and I didn’t see anyone use it.

Great stay with good facilities and friendly staff. Public areas and rooms seemed to be clean and well maintained but the corridors were oddly institutional (not a big problem really) Plenty of parking available for our hire car, so we could come and go without worrying too much about getting a space (Sep visit). As we were exploring Malta we didn't spend too much time in the pool areas, but it was nice that there was an adults only section where things were quieter.

The hotel is ‘okay’
Overall it is an ‘okay’ hotel. The best bit being the food selection. The hotel was busy (to be expected in July) and the pools were overcrowded. We got around this by swimming at the end of the day when it was quieter. We tended to go out during the day. If you plan to stay there all day everyday, the noise and crowds may get tiresome. We met a mixture of staff. A few were very helpful. The English lady manager at reception was lovely. However most of the staff seemed very stressed and not particularly helpful. Parking was easy and free, loads of spaces under the hotel. The biggest downside to the hotel (and the one that would stop me staying her again) is how much noise you can hear from the rooms. We have all come home exhausted after getting very little sleep. You could hear when a guest walked past in flipflops, that’s how thin the walls were! The cleaners worked tirelessly and kept our room very clean. So overall, the hotel is okay. Calling it a 4* may be pushing it slightly, but it wasn’t terrible.

Lack of staff on reception and so long queues, no AC unit around hotel especially in hallway leading to rooms. Too much noise coming from hallway outside bedroom. Cannot accommodate requests put months in advance for special birthdays, cot etc. Same food menu served in Coral restaurant for lunch and dinner.

We were impressed from the moment we arrived at the hotel. It's a large complex, and yet everything was clean, tidy and the staff were polite and helpful. The food at all the restaurants that we tried was also varied and very nice; although for the 'themed' restaurants you have to book through the hotel's webpage which is a bit clunky. This was our first time at an all-inclusive hotel and we weren't entirely sure what to expect from the drinks on offer. Whilst there was plenty to choose from, including cocktails, nothing seemed to really pack a punch.

Not a great value for money
TLDR; It's not a 4-star hotel by what I expected. We stayed at the hotel for 7 days during a family holiday all-inclusive from early June. Our very first experience with the room and the corridor was an unpleasant odour. I thought it was just a temporary issue but unfortunately, it was both on the passage and in the room for the entire stay. The second very bothering thing is the air conditioning - you can not set the desired temperature in the room. The only option is to use a colour-coded dial and have a terrible hit-and-miss of either too cold (only at night) or too warm during the mid-day. That unfortunately was the reality as the unit was not powerful enough. It's not a single case as our friends who stayed in two other rooms had exactly the same experience. During summer, this makes it very hard to rest at noon when it's too hot outside. The hotel feels like it's abandoned by the manager(s). Either they are not present or they are snowblind about the general condition of the hotel, rooms, furniture, corridors, etc. Service was OK-ish. 2 out of 10 staff we interacted with were kind and positive. The majority of the staff is indifferent and not pleasant to interact with - especially reception or the bars' staff. Perhaps this is due to very poor gender equality at the hotel. The majority of the staff is male, unfortunately. Food is also OK-ish. Hit and miss. As for a Mediterranean location, I was expecting excellent fish and seafood, but I was disappointed.

I can give this hotel 5 stars as everything is available the food in the all inclusive was amazing the Ala cart restaurant was so good but hard to reserve like only some available you need to book as soon as you come, the adult pool and the main pool are wonderful, the only thing i need to say is when I come they treated us as regular while we reserve the all inclusive plus which is more amenities available to us and I knew something was wrong so they have to change our bracelet to the vip and we started using it for everything, there is a vip club which is great different drinks different snacks always available with breakfast snacks and drink, the Asian restaurant was amazing, Salia was great but I didn’t like Laguna that much, the levant is a very nice with Mediterranean style, I really recommend the hotel to everyone, also close to pious village like 10 min walk so as other shops and beaches are very nice, staff was so nice especially Hussam, Mohammed and the manager helped us a lot so as Leadia she was great, beautiful hotel thank you Expedia

Looked good on paper…
I booked 3 family rooms requesting they be together but for some unknown reason they weren’t! They had allocated rooms before arrival then refused to amend them even though rooms either side were empty - was very frustrated with the receptionist Blanka! The hotel is big! Much bigger than I’ve stayed in previously. The food was good and plentiful, but it was a shame there were roadworks outside the hotel which ruined eating outside on the terrace experience. The main restaurant was very busy and noisy and felt more like an eating shed. The special restaurants were all nice though. The pools are good but the indoor pool is only accessible for kids are certain times which is totally understandable but the way the kids get asked to vacate the pool when the time is up is plain rude. The tone of staff at reception, pool and spa and main restaurant leaves a lot to be desired for. I booked on hotel.com and had 20% off spa services, however when booking was told that the treatment chosen didn’t qualify for discount, as it was on a different page to the others! Very confusing and unclear and was met with once again unhelpful staff. The main positive was the housekeeping! We had very friendly and helpful housekeeper in room 2427 called Naeem who was exceptional! Clean room everyday and always had a smile on his face. Also special mention to Mina in Salia restaurant who was again very pleasant and great at her job! Overall a disappointing experience and wouldn’t come back.

The room was spacious. I loved the privacy with the "separated room" for my child. No english speaking tv channels (at least for kids). The main bed was huge! The housekeeping cleaned our room daily, which was good! I liked the idea of the refilling water stations kids club was the only disappointment. We were planning to go to the spa and spend time together as couple for maximum 1h and we were counting to leave our son in the kids club hoping that he could have some fun, create great memories by doing activities as advertised (bowling, archery, play ball, etc) and interact with other kids... but the animation crew (only 1 person) sat there on his mobile and the kids were doing whatever they want. My son did some colouring and reading on his own. When we first left our child there, the staff member had gone to the toilet with other child and the others were left unattended, so we were apprehensive to leave him there. I've asked reception about it... but they were not sure about the programme too. The indoor swimming pool was only available for children from 3pm until 7pm. During the day we had the freezing cold outdoor swimming pool, which I didn't dare to go. They were doing some works near the swimming pool, at the kids area probably to be ready for summer. It was a shame we couldn't use it this time. The restaurant and food were good. We couldn't book for the other restaurants at the hotel (brazilian) as it was already fully booked during our stay. Overall was good.

This is not a 4 star property. Rooms are basic, hotel needs a full revamp and there is a smell of sewage in most corridors. Food is a strong ‘meh’ at best of times. Staff are good though they just haven’t been given the tools to deliver.

Excellent pool view room to watch the sun set.excellent salia italian, excellent reception bar,excelent laguna restruant excellent location, unfortunately no outdoor heated pool and indoor one was far too busy. Rodizio was extremley poor which was a shame because that was the one I was most looking forward to. Coral restruant also extremley poor too big, busy and chaotic.Thankfully only needed to go in twice due to the other ones. Jungle,oriental and middle eastern were good.Im glad I perservered to book them as it was tricky. I really liked the laguna restruant for breakfast and lunch,shame it wasnt open more often. Overall had a good stay but would need a few changes to be excellent. The weather was great for March, everyone sunbathing and in the pools all week which was an excellent surprise for us.

The property was clean, and the staff friendly. . . Food was less than manageable (greasy and overcooked). . . Power went out for multiple hours during the eveing, rendering everything non-usable. Place lacks an adult friendly environment... as kids are often unsupervised or not noticed within the hours stated. All in all.. will not return

Not a 4 star hotel; amenities unusable
Not a 4 star hotel. Only heated pool is a small indoor pool closed noon-3pm for kids - insufficient size for number of rooms (outdoor pools are literally colder than the sea). Room was old with broken pieces; other amenities exceptionally run down/ minimal open hours. Very disappointed- would not recommend to anyone I know. Have been very pleased with other hotels on malta.
