The hotel is really good and value for money overall. The staff were a highlight, the room was big and clean, with good facilities. If I was being picky the arrangement they have with the beach club for use of the pool is changeable (different rules every day we visited) and the hotel bar is a bit bland.

We only stayed for one night. The outdoor pool was lovely with a great atmosphere- upbeat dance music vibes. Sun bed reservations required but as we had just arrived mid afternoon there were some free so we were lucky. Food was excellent stayed half board, evening meal was possibly the best pre food we have ever had, breakfast was also fabulous with so much choice. Room perfect with a great balcony (although pretty small) looking over to Valletta.

Excellent breakfast. Very clean rooms. The gym is also great. The pool arrangements are overly monetized and I can see that this would actually annoy the guests moreso than appeal to them.
