Nice area to stay & enjoy beaches & Gozo

Nice quiet area to stay to recover from long flight. Beaches ok. Pool good. A bit far from Valetta, Sliema etc - long bus ride. However it's quieter than staying in city area's. Diving, snorkelling good. Close to Gozo ferry.

Beach resort catering to package tourists

Nice room with balcony and sea view . Location OK if you have a vehicle which I did. Caters mainly for UK package tourists and the food reflected that. Bland. Apart from the view you would think you wereat But linseed Holiday Camp saying "Hi-di-hi".

In need of repair and better cleaning of the beach

I booked the hotel after reading in the description that the hotel underwent repair quite recently. But it definitely does not refer to the room I lived in: peeling paint on the wall dividing the room from the bathroom, old furniture and sanitary ware, and a broken window lock that had almost drove me mad (and hit my toe when it fell) until it was finally replaced. But the cleaning staff is OK and they did their job finely. And the view from the room is fantastic! The location is good, but the beach is small and rather crowded, except in the early morning, and it should be better cleaned. The food was more or less OK, and coffee reasonably good. Still I would have appreciated more fruit in the middle of summer and better fish variety. The lemon cake during one of the dinners was delicious!

Good breakaway base

Having stayed at this hotel previously, I was pleased to learn that the hotel had been refurbished - it needed it... A requirement for a room with easy access was met and exceeded since I hadn't paid for the room type allocated. The hotel is on many levels and access by stairs to Reception, Dining Room and main entertainment area are three of the most used. Despite this there were many older clients during my "over New Year" stay. Everything that might be required is available save a hotel shop so a good walk, see below, is required if you forget anything! Hotel is located on the north side of Mellieha (Ghadira) bay and all rooms get sun through the day.It is but a few minutes from the main road and buses. Mellieha is a good 20/25 minute walk some up hill though buses operate regularly. A good choice for any age group (save night clubbers...) good choice of facilities and well located for those wishing to explore the north of Malta or Gozo as the ferry is just 10 minutes away by car. Enjoy.

Cheap and cheerful!

Great location. Hotel very dated but good value for budget conscious. Room very basic, beds/pillows uncomfortable and shower hopeless! Meals very good. Air conditioning inoperative during our stay. TV (old) and hair dryer available but had Europe plugs - no adapter plug in room. Luckily we had one of our own. Front desk staff very good, bar staff unenthusiastic.

Staff need basic training in customer service

The staff was transparent about closing the resort for the next 2 to 3 years for rebuild. The facilities look extremely dated and are in a state of dilapidation. Our first room had a toilet seat that had rusted off at the hinges and mold in the shower. The second room which we were told was the only other room in the whole resort had an ant problem that we traced to a sticky substance on part of the floor along with some mold and rust in the bathroom (not to the extent of the first room). When voicing our concerns the staff did not care for solutions. The generic response is that they could re-clean the room and offer maintenance the next time someone was in. The cleaning was done quickly and left some mold. We cleaned areas ourselves. When I asked to speak with the manager to express my concerns about the state of the resort and lack of service from their staff I did not have any better results with resolution. While a dinner voucher was offered for our "inconvenience," that does not remedy the state of the crumbling building and lack of care from staff. On the final night we did accept the voucher and were glad we never ate dinner there on any other night. At checkout they charged us for the dinner even though we had given them the voucher presented to us. The location was beautiful with calm water great to get into as a family, but a rebuild of the property will not make us want to stay here again as long as staff continue to be unable to do their jobs or training improve.

Bellissimo il luogo ma pessimo servizio.

La posizione dell'Hotel è fantastica ma il resto è davvero mal gestito.. le pulizie vengono fatte poco e male, gli asciugamani cambiati erano sporchi ed un giorno sono stati ritirati e non rimessi, il cibo del ristorante era semplicemente immangiabile e per due persone con una bottiglia d'acqua ci hanno chiesto 45 euro di cena (a buffet).. Per tutto il soggiorno l'ascensore della nostra ala non funzionava, con camera al terzo piano... Tre giorni senza ascensore con camera al terzo piano, orari del ristorante davvero stringenti e servizio bar poco fornito..

The view from our hotel room was fantastic. it was nice that they have laundry facilities but they need to do something about the switch between the washing machine and dryer. I had a problem with the other guest regarding the switch. There is only one power source, you can only use either washing machine or the dryer but not both

Lite slitet hotell sett till helheten men underbart läge lite avskilt från staden. Underbar utsikt över bukten. välstädat och trevlig personal. fina poolområden och liten sandstrand vid havet. underbart läge med närhet till staden (mellieha). ett stort plus är det faktum att de tog ansvar för de katter som fanns i området och såg till att de fick mat.

Świetny hotel , polecam

Bardzo fajny hotel, krótko i na temat: Plusy: położenie (północna strona Malty gdzie znajdują się najpiękniejsze plaże i zatoki oraz wioska Popeye , rzut beretem na Comino i Gozo) , , czystość , atrakcje w hotelu(bary , zabawy , dyskoteki , nurkowanie , wycieczki ) wszystko w jednym miejscu - sklep , bankomat , fantastyczna miła i pomocna obsługa , bardzo dobre i smaczne posiłki , przepiękny ogród , bardzo duży taras i basen , atmosfera w obiekcie. Minusy : wygląd budynku szczególnie z zewnątrz widać że czas na remont , monotonne jedzenie szczególnie śniadania , mała plaża hotelowa - my woleliśmy chodzić na plaże przy zatoce Melieha (cudna ciepła woda ) albo po drugiej stronie paradise beach (ta woda !!!) więcej nie znajduje Jak dla mnie 8,5 na 10 . Ogólnie polecam odwiedzić Maltę , przepiękna wyspa a Cominoo o jej blue legoon to zdecydowanie perła w koronie Malty,

Mrówki w jedzeniu, w łazience na ręcznikach, w łóżku, na meblach na podłodze. Szkoda moich pieniędzy wydanych ma jedzenie, które musiałam wyrzucić(było zamknięte).

Die Lage war gut. ABER: Die Anlage ist teilweise sehr heruntergekommen und dreckig. Von einer kürzlichen Renovierung ist in vielen Bereichen nichts zu sehen. Die Duschbadewanne wurde in einer Woche Aufenthalt nicht geputzt und war rostig. Beim erstmalogen betreten des Zimmers lagen mehrere Haare des Zimmermädchens rum, der Boden war dreckig. Vermeintlich frische Teller, Gläser und Besteck im Restaurant sowie die Tische waren mehrfach dreckig. Das Essen war durchweg kalt, geschmacklos und meist Tiefkühlware. Das Personal war meist unfreundlich.
