Stayed for a week at the beginning of July as a group of 5, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Pros:
+As part of the all inclusive package, you get 1 visit per al a carte restaurant, the Salia and Yushan were very good quality
+Very central location, bus station is a 2 minute walk away with fares no more than 3 euros, we took the bus to Mdina (a must visit) and Valetta.
+No sunbed wars, we never struggled to find a couple of sunbeds as a group, even when going to the pool in the afternoon
+ We really enjoyed the sky bar that overlooked the sea. It did get busy some evenings but we always managed to find seats. Excellent choice of drinks and friendly staff.
+ The main buffet restaurant had plenty of seating and we were always to find a table for 5. The desert and fruit selection was very good and there was options for children e.g nuggets, fish fingers, pizza etc
+ Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Cleaning staff in particular made sure to say hello when passing in the corridors. Our cleaner Lila was especially friendly, and we always came back to a thoroughly clean room in the afternoon.
+ The water is not drinkable but there is a plenty of drinkable water stations around the hotel to fill up water bottles.
Cons:
- The main dining restaurant was quite disappointing at times. We never struggled to find a table but noticed there was often a fair amount of tables that had piles of plates on and hadn't been relayed. The selection of food was sometimes lacking, with some evenings having too many fish options and a lack of salad options. The buffet would have benefitted with more veggie options as well as more meat options like chicken, beef etc and more prepared salads.
- Sunday was slightly busier with visitors, so we decided to do a day trip and book one of the a la carte restaurants in the evening to avoid the business.
- The 'double beds' were two beds pushed together and the flooring in the room meant they did slip apart at times.
- We noticed a minor issue of being able to hear people in their rooms when walking through the corridors. However, the rooms themselves were soundproofed and we never heard any outside noise or noise from rooms next to us.
Despite the negatives, we enjoyed the hotel and would revisit in the future.
