We liked it all but have a couple of suggestions to improve it. Ban smoking in all outside eating areas; offer drinks when around the pools; provide a very small shop/area where you can buy essentials (eg sun cream, sun hat, cover up wrap etc); provide better tennis balls or option to buy new balls; the bar staff were under extreme pressure so provide more staff; quality of dinner could be improved a little although was decent value for money

The property is well laid out, offering well maintained and comfortable areas for dining, swimming and exercise. Staff are well trained and are eager to assist. No issues there. However, the guest rooms are in need of some attention. Some of the issues we noticed: 1: Broken Tiles in the bathroom. 2: Room furniture shows signs of wear 3: Room air conditioning not operational 4: Bed mattress and pillows are in desperate need of replacement. Mattress is very soft, pillows are very flat. 5: Room TV is small; Remote control has electrical tape holding it together. 6: Toilet seat not entirely secure; shifts while in use 7: Bathtub is small and the bottom is curved (not flat), making it hard not to slip when taking a shower. 8: Could not determine how to use the room safe; no instructions provided.

Great getaway in Gozo. Walking distance from the Ta Cenc cliffs which are a must see and views of Comino and Malta. Beautiful walks from this hotel and even the amazing Mgarr ix-Xini. The hotel itself is a haven, great spa with indoor outdoor pool. 2 other outdoor pools. restaurants, bars cool rooms. I would recommend.

Overall happy with our stay but…

We spent two nights at this wonderful property. Beautiful setting and hotel blends in nicely with the surrounding. We received a nice welcome when checking in but service throughout our stay was not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. The breakfast was particularly uninspiring. The price per night was very reasonable so I would still recommend it based on the comfort and beautiful setting.

Disappointing

Although rated 5 star, it was rather run down and in urgent need of refurbishment. Our room had a missing shelf in shower. but bathroom was generally in need of modernising as shower itself was still wirh cubicle. The worst thing was the broken and rusty ladder at the Lido. I cut myself against it and had to take a tetanus booster. The capsules of Nespresso machine in room were not the original but of an inferior brand. Breakfast was not typical of a 5 star hotel as it lacked good cheeses (only processed was available), there was no prosciutto crudo or genuine cakes.The general upkeep of the premises was also poor with the Maltese stone in all areas needing cleaning as it was no longer white and clean. At check out, we had to ask for receipt of payment, although it had already been taken from our card and we were not asked how our stay went.

Relaxing Stay

Very pleasant stay. Mattress was a bit softer than we are accustomed to, but the room was large and quite comfortable overall. Restaurant and bar service was friendly but inexperienced.
