Nice Hotel
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.

Won't hurry back
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!!

Right every time
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 ...Read more

Very friendly staff
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.
