We are regular guests at this hotel (previously known as Porto Azzurro aparthotel), however, on our most recent stay in July 2025, since the "refurbishment" in March, we can confirm that the place has deteriorated. It was never anything fancy, but it used to be a nice, quiet, relaxing place to stay. Not anymore! The only real improvement is the reception desk but that's the least important aspect of a stay. We were allocated room 410 with 'sea view'. It was well equipped with oven, microwave, fridge, balcony. The room itself is nothing special. The air conditioning is old and omits a foul smell, god knows what bacteria is lurking inside the unit. Regarding room cleaning, I'm not sure it was cleaned during the 8 nights we were there. The towels were changed daily, however, they are very small. The biggest disappointment is the pool area. From morning until night there is loud AI music blasting from the speakers around the pool. I don't know what kind of vibe they're trying to create but it's certainly not a good one. Also the sun loungers are uncomfortable and all cramped together under big umbrellas which means the whole area is shaded. That defeats the object of being on holiday in Malta when one comes for the sun. Our biggest gripe was when the pool / bar attendant asked everybody to move from the sunny side of the pool deck to the shady side when it got to 6pm so that they could set up tables and chairs for the evening diners. We are reluctant to return for these reasons
