Good location, close to the golden sands beach. Unfortunately it was very windy during our stay and the water was still cold. In terms of getting to Valetta or any other attractions it is a bit remote even by taxi. Food at the restaurants was average.

Beautiful hotel, all areas are clean and tidy.
However the rooms could do with modernisation.
Gym, steam room, sauna and indoor pool are a great addition and worked well!
Delicious food at the restaurants Aglio olio, Moka and Essence of India. Friendly and helpful staff too.
Front desk and restaurant staff at all times was polite and helpful.
Appreciated the assistance of the staff when taxi to airport was late.

Very large nice hotel next to a large beach (by Malta standards). It is on the quiet north west coast and is not within walking distance of a village/town; you need a car if staying at this hotel otherwise you will spend all of your time at the hotel.
