Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

My spouse and I recently checked in at Damare Resort & Spa for our honeymoon, booking a suite with beach access. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected and paid for. Upon arrival, the general upkeep of the property appeared less maintained than suggested by online ratings and photos. Our biggest issue, however, was with the room itself. We had booked and paid for a spacious suite with direct beach access. What we received was a tiny room that bore no resemblance to a suite, and no beach access. Instead, we had a small, two-foot walkout onto artificial turf, situated off a cliff, definitely not the "beach access" we were promised. We approached the front desk to address this discrepancy, explaining that the room was not what we had paid for. We requested to be moved to a suite we had booked. The staff informed us there was "nothing they could do," leaving us with no resolution. To compound our frustration, after returning to our room, a glass vase was dropped outside our door. Shards of glass then splintered and entered our room through the gap under the door. Given the significant disparity disparity between what was advertised and what we received, we felt we had no option but to check out immediately. We are extremely dissatisfied with our stay and the hotel's refusal to issue a refund despite the misrepresentation of the room and the overall negative experience.

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.

This hotel is lovely with luxury facilities however the area doesn’t have many things to do but a 30 min Uber can take you to any city - my only recommendation for this hotel is to add 2/3 table tennis tables for people to play

Fabulous Hotel, great food and lovely staff

We really enjoyed our stay here for lots of reasons. Right on St Paul’s Bay, we booked a sea view room which had a glass balcony so you could see the water from the room too. The styling of the hotel is quirky and eclectic, with its dark interiors and mood lighting. The room and bathroom is a great size with lots of storage, and a big circular bed with deep buttoning. The restaurant was excellent- really great quality food. The bar has a pool table, sports screens and a nice atmosphere. Both have great views as you are right on the water. The staff were very warm and welcoming.

Very nice Boutique

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. Bed and pillows were very cozy. Pool area is just an amazing experience. Breakfast was delicious! They had a small buffet table and also breakfast made freshly of your choice. On the other hand, from my room I heard every car that passed by and since this was supposed to be a holiday to rest and being myself a light sleeper, this was really upsetting. Pool had black moss here and there which I think it's very sad cause this pool is really amazing! Something else that wasn't in our favour was that they didn't have a variety of vegan foods therefore we had to eat out of the Boutique. Overall our stay was very nice, I just wish I was able to sleep better.
