Fab week away in the sun! Excellent food and drinks with brilliant service. Great location for public transport. We had a couple of massages in the spa which were brilliant and exactly what was needed. The entertainment team work hard all day to get everyone involved which is amazing to see. Well done them! Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Just spent an amazing week at this hotel. We arrived at the hotel around 13:00 check in not till 15:00 but luckily our room was ready. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The outside pool area was lovely. Very busy at the weekend due to locals being able to pay to use the pool. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food was standard we eat out a couple of times. There are 4 restaurants you can book in the hotel which were really good and food was nice. On a whole our stay was amazing and have a great week. Thank you db San Antonio for looking after us.

Stayed for a week at the beginning of July as a group of 5, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Pros:
+As part of the all inclusive package, you get 1 visit per al a carte restaurant, the Salia and Yushan were very good quality
+Very central location, bus station is a 2 minute walk away with fares no more than 3 euros, we took the bus to Mdina (a must visit) and Valetta.
+No sunbed wars, we never struggled to find a couple of sunbeds as a group, even when going to the pool in the afternoon
+ We really enjoyed the sky bar that overlooked the sea. It did get busy some evenings but we always managed to find seats. Excellent choice of drinks and friendly staff.
+ The main buffet restaurant had plenty of seating and we were always to find a table for 5. The desert and fruit selection was very good and there was options for children e.g nuggets, fish fingers, pizza etc
+ Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Cleaning staff in particular made sure to say hello when passing in the corridors. Our cleaner Lila was especially friendly, and we always came back to a thoroughly clean room in the afternoon.
+ The water is not drinkable but there is a plenty of drinkable water stations around the hotel to fill up water bottles.
Cons:
- The main dining restaurant was quite disappointing at times. We never struggled to find a table but noticed there was often a fair amount of tables that had piles of plates on and hadn't been relayed. The selection of food was sometimes lacking, with some evenings having too many fish options and a lack of salad options. The buffet would have benefitted with more veggie options as well as more meat options like chicken, beef etc and more prepared salads.
- Sunday was slightly busier with visitors, so we decided to do a day trip and book one of the a la carte restaurants in the evening to avoid the business.
- The 'double beds' were two beds pushed together and the flooring in the room meant they did slip apart at times.
- We noticed a minor issue of being able to hear people in their rooms when walking through the corridors. However, the rooms themselves were soundproofed and we never heard any outside noise or noise from rooms next to us.
Despite the negatives, we enjoyed the hotel and would revisit in the future.

Out of season an amazing spot.
everything is maintained well. Very clean the pool areas are hosed and wash down every morning or sun beds to sanitise. housekeeping is excellent and keeps the rooms clean. Our room was large spacious area with a balcony and as I went with a friend we had two twin rooms. We had twin beds

The hotel is spotlessly clean and all the staff we interacted with were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. On arriving at the buffet I was pleased to see they have labelled vegan options, although as the week went on some dishes seemed to be mislabelled as vegan and were in fact vegetarian and vice versa. The food on the whole was lovely and there was a good selection of salad items. There seemed to be more vegan options at lunch than at dinner and offering those options at dinnertime would be a nice option. The pool was lovely, as was the café and was pleased to have the option of soya milk to enjoy their coffees. The cafe was a lovely option to play cards and get a drink in the evening. The hotel is very close to the bus station and isn't far from the main square. We would stay here again.
