A lovely hotel with charming, professional staff. Beautiful and elegant public spaces. Our room was clean and comfortable and breakfasts cooked to order. There was a free shuttle bus to Valetta. The bars and restaurants in the hotel were top notch. We also found some great restaurants locally.
However the big no no was the dreaded piped music around the pool. The pool area itself was really lovely with landscaped gardens and lots of comfortable sunbeds and plenty of secluded areas. Each of these though was fitted with a loudspeaker and it was impossible to escape the noise. We made enquiries but as usual we were told it was " company policy". Why can't hotels realise that not everyone wants vile noise forced into their ears without their consent. It should be possible to provide quiet areas. This undoubtedly spoiled our enjoyment of a costly 5 star hotel. A pity and so easy for the management to sort out. Also there was so called "music" throughout all interior public spaces day and night...if you wanted to read , chat or relax in quiet you had to go to your room. Not on for a 5 star hotel. Because of this we won't return which is a shame because otherwise the hotel was fantastic.
