Hotel and Spa is really lovely. Must warn though that if you go out of season like we did, not all the hotel facilities are open such as the roof top bar (understandably) or the bar opposite. Also booked treatments in salon but when I turned up for them I was told the girl had not turned in. One of the main reasons I chose the hotel was to have treatments for my birthday so was disappointed. Liked Malta though, but if went back would go to St Julians.

While we arrived late[after midnight] the night porter was very grumpy,imagine how we felt with flight delays etc!! We were allocated a room in the section acroa the road accessed via a tunnel and that was the first pitfall!!the smell going through the tunnel,the room was tiny, you wouldn't swing a cat in it[if you had a cat!]After a bit of complaining the next morning[after a sleepless night due to a party next door] we were given a different room which was a great improvement.The reception staff, i found a bit moody but the restaurant staff were really nice and chirpy.The location of the hotel is okay but the beach was described in the brochure as 900m away, maybe as the crow flies but lucky enough the bus stop is just outside the hotel and it only costs a few pence.Night life is quiet but there are a few local bars close to the hotel and meeting the locals can be good fun. I don't think i will be in any hurry to go back to Malta but the sunshine was great!!

My four day break was a spontaneous decision and I couldn't have chosen a better hotel. The reception staff were fabulous, nothing was too much trouble and they gave me directions and other information with ease and professionalism.
Lovely position, I had a great room overlooking the pool on one side and the sea on the other, the room was clean, items replaced every day and very comfortable. The restaurant served everything, I'm vegetarian and found a fabulous selection of suitable food without having to ask for something different. I used the spa and had a body massage and head massage to die for. Going to the beach was a nice 20 minute walk and good exercise. I didn't go down there too often as I went in to Valetta by bus which picked me up right outside the hotel reception, this was dirt cheap and an experience not to be missed. Took a boat trip around the islands and was mesmerised by everything, and I'm a seasoned traveller! The taxi ride from the airport was a history lesson in itself as I had the most entertaining taxi driver with a wealth of knowledge about his beloved Malta. Would I recommend the hotel? Absolutely. Would I go back to Malta? Without a shadow of doubt, I fell in love with the people, the atmosphere and the whole ambience of the island. Look at the reasons why you want to go on holiday. If you want a buzzy, noisy, vibey place this is perhaps not for you, but there were masses of youngsters having an absolute ball anyway. If you want a big town, try Valetta or Sliema, not Mellieha, but I am so looking forward to returning here.

A very well appointed hotel with excellent facilities and friendly and helpful staff. Not a lot going on in Mellieha but you can get anywhere on a 'bus (bus stop outside hotel)for a few cents. I can see this hotel and its location wouldn't appeal to the younger generation, but if you want service, good food and a bit of P & Q, this is the place.

We have recently returned from a week's holiday at the hotel. We had a room at the back of the hotel overlooking the gardens and pool, which is certainly the best location. There is another part to the hotel across the road accessed by a tunnel but it is a long way from the restaurant and 3 pools so if possible ask to stay in the main building. We stayed on half board and found the buffet very good -something for everyone.There is another restaurant in the hotel which is good for pizzas and pasta and if you're staying half board in the hotel you can swap your evening buffet meal for one in the other restaurant. The rooms are clean, modern and well equipped,all with balconies. There is an excellent spa downstairs if you want a bit of pampering! The pools are lovely and never too crowded and there are plenty of sunloungers. The village of Mellieha is quiet and on a steep hill so I wouldn't advise staying there if you had small children or were infirm. There isn't much to do but you can take bus trips out of the village to other parts of the island. They don't run late at night though so its taxis only if you're staying out!Overall we had a nice time but would have been bored if we'd stayed 2 weeks. One point to mention is the reps selling 'timeshare' outside the hotel - don't be duped by their sales pitch!

We spent a week at the hotel in August. The location of the room was terrible. We had to use to different elevators and walk through an underground tunnel to get there. Who knows what will happen if there is a fire in the building. We wouldn't get out! Using the balcony would not have been any use since our view was the opposite hotel room. The only view was other rooms and the sky.
The room in itself was nice, two modern bathrooms, a great bed, a flat screen TV, deposit box and a mini bar.
Pools (3) were nice with free sun beds, and pool towels free of charge!
Breakfast was great but the dinner buffet not worth paying for. Different buffet names like Mediterranean and Maltese, but same dishes.
The hotel also had another restaurant with hamburgers, pizzas and pasta dishes. That restaurant was better. Great pizzas!
The hotel does not offer luxury, nor romance. The Mellieha village doesn't have any nightlife and there is no bus connection at night.
We won't visit Malta again; it was crowded, dirty and had lousy beaches!
The best during our stay in Malta was the Arches restaurant. The Arches is Malta's best restaurant, located in the Mellieha village, just opposite the Maritim hotel.
Make a table reservation! The food at the Arches is fantastic! The service too! It's not cheap but worth every penny!

We took a late booking in unallocated accomodation for 1 week only so Malta seemed a good choice having a fairly short flight time. Having never holidayed in Malta before we were unsure of what to expect. The hotel itself was superb - we stayed in the newer rooms which are over the road but accessed by a tunnel - quite exciting at first but a chore if you forget something for the roof pool on the other side. The food was good - nice choice each evening and excellent variety throughout the week. The hotel was spotlessly clean, staff welcoming and friendly, and room very impressive - minimalist and even a plasma screen TV on the wall. Free safety deposit box, air coniditioning and a mini bar which we had far more from than they charged us for! Indoor hot pool and a choice of roof pool and ground floor pool are excellent. The location though is a different matter. A 20 minute stroll down hill to the beach
is ok but coming back it maybe better to wait for the bus. Nightlife is quiet to say the least - one decent bar and that is only 'lively' on a Sunday when a live musician plays. Bus trips are ok during the days(buses don't run at night)- we went to Bugibba and Sliema and took a boat harbour tour of Valetta. We enjoyed the stay as it was for only 7 days - any longer and I think we would have become VERY bored.

We booked a late deal to Malta, Allocation on Arrival. After dropping off other people on the coach at hotels which we thought were a bit dingy we were dreading our stop. However we were pleasnatly suprised. the hotel was clean, the room was cleaned everyday. We stayed HB and the food was excellent, different menu everyday, and the restaurant was a joy to eat in, no queuing for buffet meals. The only gripe we had was that there was no where inside the hotel to sit and have a smoke, but we can understand why. Melliah Bay itself was a bit of a dissapointment, we only stayed for 7 days and had seen everything, so a 14 day holiday would become boring. We did do a few trips though. Another plus for the hotel is the 3 pools, although not large by any means they were never busy, also plenty of sunbeds free of charge. Safe depotsit box and min bar in the room too. Our room overlooked the main street, but once the patio doors were closed no noise at all from outside. also free air con. Good hotel.
