Our weekend stays at this hotel are always unforgettable thanks to the incredible staff who truly make us feel at home. My husband, my baby girl Mimi, and I are always so happy and cared for every time we visit. A special thank-you to Manager Anket for always ensuring our stay is perfect, and to the lovely receptionists Elvie and Pinky, who greet us with such warmth. Sandeep from breakfast at Flavours went above and beyond — helping brining us food to the table while I juggled our little one, and making sure we had everything we needed. Daniel from maintenance was so kind and quickly fixed our TV with ease. And the amazing team at Mokka — Aminul, Sweetson and the wonderful girls — were incredibly accommodating and kept our daughter entertained; she absolutely adored them. Their burgers are also incredible — truly some of the tastiest we’ve had. Kudos to the chef! And of course Mr Henri, the one and only — a true gentleman with a warm heart. Whether we meet him in the lobby or are welcomed by him at breakfast, it is always such a joy to see him and be greeted by him. Every visit is an incredible experience filled with comfort, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The beautiful stay, the thoughtful service, and the wonderful people are the reason we keep coming back — for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply when we need a little escape. Truly a place full of heart.

There were a number of things during my stay that didn’t quite meet the standard I’d associate with a five-star hotel. The main building felt a bit worn in places, with scuffs and marks that took away from the overall impression. Service was inconsistent. Some staff were excellent, but others seemed a little unsure, which led to a few moments that left me a bit miffed — for example, being shown to my stored luggage and picking it up myself, with help offered only afterwards. Not awful, just not what I’d expect at this level. Food was mixed as well. My room service breakfast was incorrect; I’d ordered a breadbasket with croissants and snacks but received toast instead. The Indian restaurant was fine, though milder than expected. Again, not terrible, just not quite five-star. The spa was clean and well maintained, though several facilities weren’t working during my visit. I also realised I hadn’t been told about all the hotel facilities at check-in, and noise travelled easily from neighbouring rooms if their balcony doors were open. Individually, these things didn’t ruin my stay, but together they left the experience feeling below the standard advertised. I don’t think I’d return, though I did appreciate the elements that were done well.

ChatGPT Log in You said: Very nice hotel. Staff were pleasant and friendly... Highly rate Henri restaurant manger at breakfast extremely friendly kind and went over and beyond to help with all our needs.. I was disappointed with the spa. The sauna was the only nice attraction about it... The pool and jacuzzi were in the same area as the relaxation area which was fine, but it meant children were in the same area which was very relaxing it was quite noisy at times and although we were told children couldn't use the pool between 1pm and 4pm this was not monitored so there were always children in the area. The hotel was lovely but away from local attractions an hour away from Valletta by bus so unfortunately that's the only reason I probably wouldn't stay there again ChatGPT said: Here’s a polished, structured version of your review, keeping your points and tone but making it clearer and more concise. If you'd like it in a different style (shorter, more formal, more positive/neutral), just let me know! Review (Rewritten & Polished): We had a very nice stay at the hotel. The staff were pleasant and friendly throughout. I would especially like to mention Henri, the restaurant manager at breakfast, who was extremely kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to meet all our needs. However, I was disappointed with the spa facilities. The sauna was lovely, but the rest of the area felt less relaxing. The pool, jacuzzi, and relaxation area are all in the same space, which would have been fine, but there were often children in the area. Although we were told that children were not allowed in the pool between 1pm and 4pm, this was not monitored, so it remained quite noisy. The hotel itself is beautiful, but it is quite far from local attractions—about an hour by bus to Valletta. Unfortunately, this distance is the main reason I probably wouldn’t choose to stay here again, hence the reason for my 3 stars for location

Great hotel with high quality amenities. Originally we had planned to go on several excursions, but quickly realized that the hotel itself has so much to offer, specially for the kids. Loved going to the beach or play in the kids club, supervised by the lovely animators. Our first day was a little bit of a mess due to an unfortunate series of events, however Ankit and the team ensured that we ended up having a wonderful experience, to the point that we are sad to be leaving again. We highly recommend the hotel, the restaurants and spa facilities- and do make sure to experience the stunning sunsets. Bus connections very easy from the nearby stop. We did day trips to Valleta. Feedback: Generally good level of service and hospitality, which seemed to get better the longer we had stayed. The first days we found it strange that no staff seemed generally happy, enthusiastic or even mindful that we had a toddler and baby with us (eg bringing a high chair to our table). I’m sure this is a continuous focus, and perhaps it was an unlucky coincidence.
