Lovely hotel with a fabulous evening restaurant. Sadly the breakfast offer was poor and service at breakfast bordering on rude.
2.0 / 5.0
We checked in with Marija and she was great. She even showed us our room and how everything worked. The room itself was really nice. The view was unbeatable and it was spacious enough. It would have been nice to have a table on the balcony.
Hotel location was nice but there wasn’t much to do in the area, which also lacked places to eat. You’d have to walk about 40 minutes to get into St Paul where most of the restaurants are.
We loved the hotel’s direct access to the sea and the infinity pool on the roof.
Service was great from daily cleaning to the waiters/waitresses everywhere in the hotel.
The breakfast in the morning was very generous but the quality of the ingredients was questionable. You would have the same experience at dinner. Both the pub and Apulia’s dishes were generally abundant in size but they lack in quality of ingredients. You can tell the chefs are trying to work with what they have.
Another thing I didn’t like but that might be a very minor point to most people, was the music they put on in the common areas. It was always cheap song covers which didn’t give a nice vibe.

The Hotel is amazing already, with new guest amenities and features it's sure to become Malta's hottest ticket and sought-after adults only hotel.

Upon our arrival, we were excited to enjoy the amenities offered by the hotel, including the hot tub in our room. Unfortunately, within just 10 minutes of checking in, the glass shower door in our bathroom broke. I want to emphasize that the breakage was not due to any misuse or mishandling on our part but appeared to be caused by a defect in the shower door itself.
The situation was reported immediately, yet the issue was not resolved during our entire stay. The broken shower door made it extremely difficult to take a shower safely, and the delay in addressing this issue significantly impacted our overall comfort and experience at your hotel.
Additionally, despite booking a room with a hot tub, we were unable to use it for an entire day due to glass shards around it. Even after the cleaning staff had attended to the room, there was still glass present, posing a safety hazard.
Throughout our 3-day stay, no one from the hotel staff reached out to us to discuss or resolve these damages. Instead of offering any assistance or solutions, we were blamed for the damage. Furthermore, we were not given an option to change rooms, which would have been a reasonable and expected response in such a situation.
To make matters worse, at the time of our check-out, a charge of €170 was placed on our bill for the broken shower door. This charge was applied without any prior discussion or warning.

This hotel was a dream to stay at. It was clean, the views from the balcony were amazing! The staff were all very helpful and personable. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. It is a bit further away from everything else but worth it. I will definitely rebook with them not one bad thing to say!

The staff were excellent and the room was very clean. There were some ants around the bed and that worried me a little but everything else was very clean.

Hotel was new in July ‘23 and looks still to have some teething problems, mainly with the service of the restaurant staff. Unfortunately lack of attention and snottyness from the senior restaurant person led to a bad experience on our last evening. We were left waiting for cutlery, wanting to order for over 40 mins and getting the order wrong, only for her to huff and walk away and offer no apology whatsoever. Also due to lack of communication we never knew what was on the menu or not until after ordering (I.e. ordering a pizza and 15 minutes later being told “no pizza today.”)
Room however was great, apart from the disco light in the bathroom with a flashing LED above the shower, which was apparently fixed 3 times on our first day 👀👀👀
The restriction on own bought water and snack in the room is something to be aware of (it will be confiscated if you bring in anything from outside the hotel) but at the same time there is a lack of available “room water” with one <1 litre bottle you had to take to reception for a refill every time it was empty. It is a glass bottle so also cannot be taken poolside or anywhere other than drank in the room. Very annoying in the heat and especially when you have a pregnant wife who consumes more than normal.
Overall we had a good stay and the hotel itself has been beautifully done however be aware of the lack of attention in the Italian restaurant, lack of communication and severe lack of empathy to any feedback.

Staff was great and forthcoming, hotel was modern and beautiful! Food was excellent. Rooms very clean and properly equipped. Free water refill, coffee, tea. Really couldn't ask for more. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent stay with delicious breakfast and fantastic staff, special mention to Abishek and Angela. The hotel is very well designed with a rooftop pool and an indoor cave pool which is really nice and overlooks the bay. Lovely boutique room which is unlike any room I have stayed in before and fitted the theme of the hotel. The hotel is quite remote with limited restaurants nearby however I had a hire for the duration of my stay so this was not a problem and I believe there is public transport close to the hotel there is also a restaurant at the hotel.
Parking is available outside the hotel however it can get quite busy. The only issue I had was my room was a little noisy as it was located on the side of the busy road however I believe many of the rooms face the bay.
Overall an excellent stay in a unique hotel with wonderful staff and a great place to stay while exploring a beautiful country. I would recommend getting a hire car to fully explore the island, parking is also free in most locations which is a bonus.

Contemporary modern small hotel with Italian themed restaurant and good bar, situated on edge of Bay with rooftop pool and sea view rooms with balcony. The dark decor in the staircase did pose a slight problem for those of us not so young. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Awesome new Hotel. With beautiful sea view and great rooms. The location is all right but you can easily reach everything with Uber.

Went during off season so a lot of the local restaurants, aside from what was in the hotel were closed.
Also, when we were there the pool and spa were not open yet and still under construction. This was not noted at the time of the booking.
Overall, hotel and staff were great and would recommend. If we were to return to Malta, this would be a definite consideration for a return stay.

1.5 / 5.0
During our stay, parts of the hotel were still being fitted out, and we could hear a lot of noise from the room we were allocated (next to the yet to be completed indoor pool). Management were able to offer us a different room away from the noise, but this one had problems with its toilet flush. It took several visits from maintenance until it was properly fixed, and in the meantime we suffered a sleepless night due to the toilet flushing continuously.
Some of the rooms had bathrooms with exterior windows but no curtains, and others, including ours, had no curtains on the glass doors between the bathroom and the bedroom. We were told that curtains were on order, so this could just be a temporary problem, and after a few days one was put up in our bathroom.
The sea views and the pool area were fantastic, and breakfast was good and cooked to order. Parking on the street was fairly easy to find, and free of charge.
There aren't many restaurants within walking distance, but it's very easy to get a bus or taxi to nearby St Paul's Bay or Mellieha, which have numerous options.
We feel that this hotel was opened before it was really ready, and the quality suffered as a result. Improvements are being made, so hopefully the guest experience is improving.
While the management did make efforts to address our concerns, we were surprised that we weren't offered any compensation for the problems we encountered.
