The hotel was good value for money. The new rooftop pool area is beautiful. However, was out-dated in the rooms & other parts.

Fabulous room
Hotel was really good. Weather was not. We enjoyed our trip and we got upgraded to a junior suite. There was a permanent noise though like a plant room as below the roof top pool but we got used to it.

its ok, not great, not bad.
I had high hopes for this hotel. It was nice, but was definitely didn't hit my expectations. There were areas that were beautiful & well kept, but there were areas that were broken down. I'll just make a list of pro's & cons.
PRO'S:
The beds were perfectly comfortable
Rooms were clean
Food at the buffet's were good
The rooftop pool was beautiful
All inclusive drinks were good.
CONS:
The toilet in our room was broken the whole time & never got fixed.
The shower was very small.
The beachside pool was a bit broken down & parts were closed off & the pools were freezing cold.
There were different restaurants besides the main buffet for the all inclusive, but only one that was not a buffet. It would be nice to have more à la carte options.
The staff were a little put off by having to handle customers. Not really rude, but just annoyed.

Staff were rude and the room was never properly cleaned, the room was very moist at all times, we were on our honeymoon and asked for a mattress cover (twice) to join the two separate beds and never got it. I fell asleep during a facial and the spa staff woke me up by slapping me on my cheek twice. The food was Ok for the first day but then continued to make me sick and was the same options pretty much every day. The “all inclusive” makes you think you get a special restaurant to book once a week for free, but surprise it’s just another buffet and looks exactly like something they’ve served at the other regular buffet another day. The pool bar never had ice and the staff member actually told my husband to complain to front of house staff for him because he had been asking for them to fix his pool bar ice machine for 3 weeks with no luck??? We’re in very hot weather it’s kind of obscene for an employee to tell a guest that. When asked about what the all inclusive band gets us on arrival the first day other staff were very rude to both my husband and I. Want some fresh water??? Forget about it. Buy some at the store unless you want to take the elevator down to the ground floor everything to use a fountain across the hotel… or there’s a mythical water fountain on floor 5 or you can get lose in a maze trying to find one by the gym but that’s your options. The bathroom becomes a pond each shower and not enough towels to manage that either. Stay in Valletta or Sliema if you can

Very disappointed
The room was very poor. Pieces of wall missing, very noisy from the work carried out below. The bus stop over the road was noisy, limiting our use of the minute balcony. The breakfast was average at best. Room service knocking on your door from 8.30 in the morning to clean your room and then again every 10 minutes.
This is a 2 star hotel at best.

Stayed for a week in Qawra with a terrace room. The room was so spacious and the terrace was sea facing which was beautiful.
The only tricky part is using the lifts if you're on a high up floor (we were floor 9) so waiting for a lift to get up or down took a while! Either way, the stay was great and the food options were brilliant. The pizza was the best part!!

The indoor pool is just next to the spa, and its more of a spa / sauna pool. Children couldn't swim in it, as someone kept coming to say it was too noisy. It shouldnt then be advertised as indoor pool.
Also had to call maintenance 3 times to attend to issues in the bathroom, aircon and tv, which was promptly sorted. Overall i will give 3 star.

Poor service and communication.
Room had growth/ mold and we asked to switch rooms as we had an 8 month old, and 2 other children under 6. After being promised a room, they ended up giving it to another guest who hadnt even checked in yet. As a paying customer, just like everyone else, the simple courtesy was not showed.
The confusion was made even worse by the very rude and abrasive bellman who walked in on my spouse nursing, and proceeded to remove our things without even asking.

Good selection of food at the all inclusive buffet.
Good pool areas and plenty of loungers. People were reserving loungers in the best positions around 7am though. Not enough umberellas down by the sea area.
A la carte restaurants were nice, especially the Asian one. Entertainment was ok, good that you need net leave the hotel if you want to watch a show in the evening.
Quiet and calm around the pool which we loved. Only once a day when water aerobics is on is there loud music
Queues fir drinks at pool bar can be long

This wasn't look like a 4 star hotel. There was no simple water bottle avilable in the room which should be as basic necessity and good Hospitality in hot weather 32C temperature.Everyday Breakfast menu was same and very limited food varieties in the lunch and dinner.Most of the time bar mens were serve only one drink for one person means you can't order two drinks in one time.
