Everything was lovely! A great location for easy walking into Valletta but still a quiet location with all the facilities and ambience that you would expect of a 5 star hotel that is right next to the sea. The buffet breakfast was great with a big selection of options to choose from. My only very minor criticism is that the hot items of the buffet breakfast (bacon, sausage, beans, etc.) were not kept quite as hot as I would have liked.

Fantastic hotel. Spotlessly clean everywhere. Food was excellent. Pool was beautifully clean and plenty of sunbeds around pool with lots of shaded areas if needed. Staff were brilliant, very friendly and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Room was very spacious, tidy and all essentials topped up daily. Thought it was a lovely touch that staff turned down beds and left a chocolate each evening. Stunning hotel.

Excellent staff and great facility. However, the little things matter and this was not a 5-star resort…. Even on its best day, this is a 3.5 star hotel. The accommodation was sub par, we asked for 4 things total and received 1. We booked a king bed with ocean view and received a double full bed with partial view of the harbor. When we asked to upgrade, they said they could move us to a king bed with no view
