    Everything was clean except for the gym. It was super dusty. And one of the elevators stopped working the last 2-3 days which was an inconvenience.

    The staff were great and good breakfast selection

    Saw a lot of reviews stating how clean it was. Generally yes, but there were a few spots / few issues that would suggest not. For the first few days our room had a weird rotten-seaweed type smell. We couldn’t figure out if it was coming from the AC unit or from the drains. Either way, it disappeared after housekeeping came to do their clean. The spa area indoor pool (the circle pool) had heaps of sand in the circulation dead spots. I work in pool maintenance and can reasonably assume that the amount was far more than a week’s worth that needed vacuuming out, especially since we were there in slow season. That area also smelled quite bad of mould, and just in a general state of disrepair. The cold area was also out of order, but no signage which confirmed this. We walked in to the cold area and smelled horrendously of mould / stagnant water. We wouldn’t have walked in if it was sign posted to say out of order. We had to ask at the desk whether they knew it was off or not. Not much in the way of other restaurants within walking distance. Fine if you’re all for the all-inclusive type vibes. The AC unit is apparently linked to a central system, which means if the building is still in Heat mode, then it won’t go below 23°C. We were there mid-April and we had some warmer nights that we were not able to use the AC on cold, as the whole building was still in Heat mode.

    Great location if you want to balance relaxation vs activities. The bus stop is a 2 minute walk up the road, with great access to a lot of the main island. Also, very close to the ports for the Comino / Gozo boat trips. A lot of the other tours (e.g. Valletta) will also pick up directly from this hotel. Dive centre is also right on your doorstep. The hotel is now child-free, there was a very peaceful vibe, loved it. You have to book your sauna slot for the day, in advance. We were there in a slow-ish part of season and managed to book for the same-day. Free yoga classes were fun. They also had Salsa and Pilates. Buffet has lots of options, including local dishes. Very dangerous if you’re on any kind of diet though.

    We wish to stay longer and enjoy this place the the fullest ! Definitely coming back !

    We stayed at the resort for a business trip and leisure. We wish we had more time to spend in the resort. It's adults only which is perfect for a quiet stay, enjoy calmness and peacefulness. Great food and especially the Lebanese restaurant is amazing! We loved sea water pool at the spa and a FREE Aerial Yoga class that was the best I have ever experienced! The teacher was very professional and focused on each participant catering for their needs. It was a truly therapeutic practice helping us to unwind and recharge !

    We paid for an upgrade to have a room with a direct sea view (see the pictures) and it was wonderful - good size, comfy beds and a great view of Marfa jetty and Comino. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. We didn't have a car, but you don't really need it, there's a bus stop nearby and buses are frequent. We recommend buying a travel card for 25 EUR for unlimited travel for seven days including the airport and Gozo (not the ferry). All in all, a fantastic stay and we definitely want to come back!

    The extra bed in the room was very poor, the mattress was really not good, after claiming it was changed, but the bed is still not good.

    In general, everything was excellent since the location, facilities, and food all exceeded my expectations.

    The picture on booking originally was with free upgrade to superior room with sea view. Unfortunately we didnt got that room when we arrive, it was a different room assign to us with partial sea view. We went down to the reception, who was really nice and welcoming, they managed to change the room for us, however it took 3hrs to sort out, we went to the pool while waiting. Apart from this, the stay was amazing, the hotel is located on Marfa port that takes you to comino island and 20 mins walk to cirkewwa port. The guest relation Michael was extremely friendly and patient! Saturday dance was so much fun! Italian restaurant was also a plus! I would definitely recommend!!!

    There wasn't a lot to do in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, but if you're happy to take trips to Valetta and nearby islands, there was enough to fill a few days

    All staff were very accommodating, friendly and helpful, the service level was excellent. The spa was superb & the therapeutic massage I received was the best ever. I had a recent injury and Carlos was very knowledgable and I felt fantastic and relaxed afterwards. Melinda in the spa area was helpful and professional. Facilities in the hotel were beyond my expectation

    We visited in March - outside eating and drinking options were very limited near the pool despite warm temperatures and busy hotel. Missed a heated outside pool - people on loungers but none able to swim as water so cold. Indoor pool is lovely and heated but there are no lockers and just 2 showers (no shampoo etc) in either male or female changing beside the pool which is unusual.

    Lovely friendly reception staff and room cleaner. Room was spacious, nice relaxing decor colours and spotless in terms of cleanliness. We really loved eating in the Ombré Bistro, it was good value and relaxing for cocktails and food. The pasta was delicious. Also enjoyed the indoor pool after long days walking.
