Hotel muito bom
The hotel is very pleasant and cool, and the room was comfortable. Alex was amazing and very helpful; he explained everything clearly and was very kind throughout our stay. The hotel offers access to a beach club, which is also excellent and great for enjoying the hotter days. I highly recommend staying at this hotel if you are visiting Malta.
Only Staff make it 5* but the hotel needs work!!
Pros: Would come back here purely for how great staff were! Reception staff were absolutely amazing! I’m frustrated I didn’t get their names at the end so I could give them the recognition they deserved but all the gentlemen staff were very attentive and polite and made an effort to learn visitors names and address them as such which I really appreciated!
Staff at the rooftop restaurant were also very attentive! I did manage to get Rajip’s name who was nothing short of incredible! Also gave great recommendations on things to do during my stay in Malta which was very helpful and overhead him giving the same level of service to other tables everytime I was there! Thank you Rajib and also reception staff whose names I regrettably didn’t catch!.
Cons:
The fact that visitors have to pay to use the spa services at €40 per person for 1hour and half I think is pretty ridiculous. Considering I paid £1k+ for my stay here I think there should be complimentary free usage of spa services for a limited time per day. Yes, there’s a pool on the roof included in the stay which gets 0% shade and not the most comfortable in 30degress + weather. I also booked a room with the plunge pool on the balcony which is a foot bath at best! Very misleading.
Breakfast:
The al carte breakfast menu really isn’t great at all! I’ve seen 3* buffets with better menus. Having table service is great but at the cost of breakfast options and smaller sizes…not worth it. Portions are small and limited. The waffles were lovely but you’re served a quarter of the waffle and when I asked for eggs to have on the side I was told I had to pick. I didn’t make a fuss but the next day Rajip was kind of enough to offer me both which another newer member didn’t (not her fault it’s how things are and should change) if you want a full English you have to pay for it which I think is ridiculous. Everything on the menu should be included in breakfast with larger portions.
All in all staff and the Michelin star restaurant (minus breakfast) make it 5*. Hotel could do with lots of changes.
Great staff but poor room and operations
I would not recommend staying at this hotel. A male staff member entered my room at 9:30 PM without knocking or announcing themselves. After entering, they said they believed the room was vacant, which points to a serious lapse in communication and hotel operations and was a major violation of my privacy.
I was also assigned a room without a fridge and only learned this after checking in. The room itself was in unacceptable condition. The bathroom had a strong sewage odor, rusted fixtures, damaged walls, a toilet that would not flush properly, toothpaste stains left behind from a previous guest, and the curtains had visible food stains, raising serious concerns about cleanliness. The walls also provided very little sound insulation, making it easy to hear noise from both the hallway and neighboring rooms.
The customer service staff were friendly and professional, and location was convenient but they could not make up for the poor room condition, lack of privacy, and operational issues. Kindly note that both pools are closed by 6:30PM for travelers arriving later in the day. I would not stay here again.
They scam you to pay twice and use your bank card remotely without authorisation
I am only going to write about one thing - the scam they are practicing with your payment card. I see from another recent review I am not the only one. They take payments from your card without authorisation. They then claim you haven't made the payment and ask you to make it again at checkout. If you say you have already taken the money they dispute this and ask for proof. In my case I had fortunately seen on my Monzo account the money had gone prior to checkout and could send them a screenshot. They seemed to accept this and allowed me to depart. However they then tried 2 more times to take payments from my card whilst I was travelling home. I have had to get a replacement card. I have made a complaint to Jet2 but as my holiday has finished I have been diverted to an online complaint system instead of speaking to a person. All around a sour taste to what should have been a nice holiday.
Badly designed rooms massively let it down
Great location, fantastic beach club and rooftop pool but badly let down by room design. NO drawers whatsoever, one small rail (not even a single wardrobe) . No mirror at design for doing hair and make up. Large mirror other wide of room but no plugs nearby to plug in hairdryer. Would not stay in this hotel again for these reasons. We had clothes and 'stuff' all over the room because there was simply no place to put anything.
