Hotel Ta 'Cenc and Spa

I stayed at this hotel expecting a 5-star experience, but what I got was far from it. The room was not particularly clean, which is unacceptable for a hotel of this level. The minibar in our Junior Suite was completely empty, even though they took my credit card as a guarantee for any consumption. It’s hard to understand the logic behind that. Service was a disaster: the bar and pool areas were practically unattended. Worst of all, at the pool bar, I was refused a drink simply because I was wearing a bathrobe instead of regular clothes. When I politely asked for an explanation, the bar staff member didn’t even stop to talk to me — she just walked past and, without looking at me, said I had to have casual clothes. The attitude was rude and unprofessional. At check-in, I was handed a form and told to fill in my own details — again, not something I would ever expect from a supposedly high-end hotel. Overall, this place lacks the service, attention to detail, and professionalism you'd expect from a true 5-star hotel. I will not be returning, and I cannot recommend it.

I had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is surrounded by nature, making it incredibly peaceful. I highly recommend taking time to relax on the hotel grounds. Since it’s surrounded by nature, be cautious of lizards and insects. Also, there are many cats, so watch your breakfast lol There’s a shortcut from Cottage 134 to the cliff. The sunset from there is absolutely stunning—don’t miss it! There’s also a walking route where you can see Malta and Comino islands in the distance. The walk takes about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. Bus 305 goes to Victoria, but unfortunately, it wasn’t running during our stay, so we walked—it took about 40 minutes. An Uber costs less than €10. I’d love to stay at this hotel again!

I commend all the staff for their exceptional service. However certain aspects of the hotel did not meet the standards of a five star hotel. Selection of wine AT THE BAR is very poor. Furniture and decor in room needs an uplift as very tired. Not having a minibar in rooms being a five star hotel is not done.

Amazing location, very green. Lovely heated spa indoor/outdoor pool and they are trying to keep the place authentic. Needs more love though from owners as bathrooms are now old, terraces outside rooms very worn. However still an amazing place to unwind. The tranquility, views and sound of birds is just unique. Will return many times no doubt.

I absolutely loved everything about this place! The location, the bungalow-style accommodation, and the laid-back atmosphere transported me back to a more relaxed era. The rooms were far from cookie-cutter, each with its own unique charm.The property boasts three pools, a pleasant bar, and two restaurants (one located off-site). The on-site restaurant is fantastic, and the outdoor tables create a lovely ambiance. The staff was friendly and always available. I sincerely hope they never renovate too much to lose their unique charm!
