Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness — "povsod je bilo umazano", stained towels and generally dirty rooms; cleanliness is a clear negative.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive service: several guests praise helpful staff, a welcoming manager gesture (wine and water, voucher) and good reception from some employees; one report of an unfriendly receptionist lowers consistency but overall staff responsiveness was highlighted.
Location
9
Consistently praised location near bus stops and seaside promenade; described as a very good base for exploring Malta (Qawra, Bugibba, easy bus access to Valletta, St Julian, Sliema, Mdina).
Room Quality
6.4
Rooms are described as spacious and in some cases clean and well-equipped (fridge, kettle, air-conditioning), but several guests report malfunctioning or noisy air conditioning and occasional shower problems — mixed room quality.
Amenities
9.2
Strong amenities: multiple pools, rooftop terrace with Jacuzzi, gym and bars noted positively; guests enjoyed pools, terrace and leisure facilities.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed value perception: some guests found the half-board acceptable, others warn against all-inclusive due to food quality and note the hotel needs renovation — overall slightly below average value.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Repeatedly criticized for monotonous, repetitive breakfasts and limited variety at meals; some appreciated continental options but overall F&B variety and quality received negative comments.
Overall Experience
7.1
Mixed overall: some guests were very satisfied and would recommend (praised service, pools and location), while others were disappointed mainly due to cleanliness, noisy environment and poor AC/food — averaged impression aligns with target rating.

Bardzo polecam!
Pros:

Śniadania fakt monotonne, lecz w takiej cenie uważam że były wystarczające. Lokalizacja na ogromny plus ze względu na bliskość wszystkich przystanków autobusowych, plaży, restauracji i sklepów.

Cons:

Pros:

Man hat nur 15 Minuten zu Fuß zum Strand gebraucht.

Cons:

Wir haben ein 4 Sterne Hotel gebucht, unser Zimmer befand sich dann aber in einem 3 Sterne Hotel. Das Badezimmer sah überhaupt nicht aus wie auf den Fotos und war sehr herunter gekommen und meiner Meinung nach sehr eklig zu benutzen. Auch die anderen Möbel im Zimmer waren sehr abgenutzt und entsprachen nicht den Fotos. Es krabbelten viele kleine Insekten auf dem Boden. Die Handtücher vor Ort hatten orange Flecken.

Nusivyliau. Viešbutis skirtas tik kukliai nakvynei ir nevertas žvaigždučių..
Pros:

Netoli kelių paplūdimių, kaviniu, barų, parduotuvėlių. Greta automobilių muziejaus ir netoli Akvariumo bei autobusų stoties.

Cons:

Vaizdas pro langą į apleistą teritoriją, triukšmas, nes buvo apgyvendintos vaikų paauglių grupės (stovyklos) iš Prancūzijos ir Italijos. Prancūzai rėkavo, lakstė koridoriais, trankė duris, dėl jų kaltės (galimai) kelis kartus buvo įsijungusi gaisro pavojaus sistema, nes po to girdėjau juos nubėgant koridoriumi. Viešbučio vonios kambarys neatrodė higieniškas, būtinas remontas. Kavinėje maistas monotoniškas.

Ve lo sconsiglio, pagate qualcosa in più da un altra parte ma questo canifor evitatelo
Pros:

Assolutamente niente

Cons:

Non mi è piaciuto niente, parto dalla stanza rumorosissima, l’aria condizionata invece di raffreddare riscaldava , quando l’accendevi non si riusciva a prendere sonno un rumore assurdo, per la pulizia è meglio che non mi esprimo

Pros:

la posizione

Cons:

gli asciugamani che ci sono stati forniti erano sporchi e macchiati. Inoltre erano gli ultimi disponibili quindi non potevano cambiarceli.
Colazione e cena da migliorare

All inclusive si, ma siamo finiti a mangiare fuori e questo già dovrebbe dire molto
Pros:

Partiamo dal punto che ha caratterizzato maggiormente la nostra vacanza: il cibo. Probabilmente uno dei peggiori che ci sia mai capitato di mangiare in un hotel e in vita nostra.

Dopo qualche giorno andare al buffet diventava quasi un gioco: “Vediamo se oggi ci saranno le patate”. Spoiler: c’erano le patate. Sempre. Patate a pranzo, patate a cena, patate probabilmente anche nei nostri sogni.

Il menù sembra vivere in un loop infinito: pasta alla panna, pasta al ragù, pasta alla panna, pasta al ragù. Quasi sempre scotta e talmente insipida che a un certo punto inizi a rivalutare con affetto la pasta in bianco dell’ospedale. Poi arrosti sommersi da salse poco invitanti, würstel praticamente a qualsiasi ora e questi famosi pezzi di pollo fritto dalla consistenza così gommosa che sembravano avere più possibilità di rimbalzare sul pavimento che di essere masticati.

E noi avevamo pagato l’all inclusive. Eppure diverse volte siamo usciti a mangiare spendendo altri soldi perché l’alternativa era affrontare nuovamente il buffet. Quando hai già pagato per mangiare e decidi comunque volontariamente di pagare una seconda volta pur di non farlo, credo che la recensione del ristorante possa anche terminare qui.

Per essere corretti, la colazione era discreta con presenza di uova, bacon anche se molto unto, cioccolata calda, latte e cereali e marmellate. Inoltre con l’all inclusive è prevista anche la possibilità di fare uno spuntino durante la giornata e gli snack erano discreti. Nulla di eccezionale, ma assolutamente mangiabili e, considerando il resto, venivano accolti quasi come un evento gastronomico.

Anche sulle bevande incluse c’è parecchio da dire. Vino e birra erano buoni, quindi salviamo quelli. I cocktail invece decisamente meno: spesso senza neanche il ghiaccio e con sapori abbastanza improbabili. Sul gin tonic preferiamo non soffermarci troppo: diciamo soltanto che aveva un’interpretazione molto personale del concetto di gin tonic.

Cons:

Ho scritto tutto sopra

Pros:

El personal inmigrante que trabaja en el hotel: nepalís, Bangladesh y de otros lugares, acogedores y muy atentos. Personal maltés, cortes, pero frio y distante. Cercanía bus station Bugibba, para llegar y salir hacia aeropuerto con TD-1

Cons:

Monotonia de los desayunos, cada dia igual. Zumos (juices) de infima calidad, Fruit salad de conserva. Cansino. Hotel lleno de teenagers, ruidosos
