We booked all inclusive. The staff were lovely and made the experience pleasant. We booked a car and this hotel had a car park which was really handy. We booked the car from a shop nearby. It was much cheaper than the hotel car hire desk. The rooms were lovely with a nice balcony. They did a great job keeping them clean. There were lots of sun loungers. Three pools, one of which was adults only with a bar. We loved Malta and would stay here again.

The hotel and especially the staff is amazing!!! And I advise you to take the VIP+ The hotel is very child and handicap friendly. For both adults and children there is enough entertainment. The food has a wide variety and when you have a diet and you still have trouble finding something at this massive buffet, there are cooks that will help you still have a perfect meal. If you have a rental car, then you can park it in the parking lot underneath the hotel. Vero

Our first time visiting Malta. Fantastic from start to finish. We had an amazing 5 days here, the only down fall for us was, unfortunately, we didn't book to stay longer. Checking in with Karen was really straightforward. (We had upgraded to All-Inclusive Plus when we booked our holiday and it was the best decision ever made.) We waited less than 5 minutes for Marion to come along and show us around. We headed to the AI Plus lounge to have chat and a drink. We took our bags up to the room and we were blown away with how spacious it was. We booked a pool view and the views were amazing. We could see the red tower and radar station from our room too. Breakfast was outstanding, along with lunch, dinner and the snacks too. The food choice was plentiful. The AI Plus lounge was a very chilled and relaxed environment. The staff throughout the hotel are all friendly, no matter how busy it got, they had the time to speak. Especially Mohammad and another chap but unfortunately we didn't get his name. I'd recommend downloading the Bolt app if you're not a fan of getting onto busy busses. (Bus stop is right outside the hotel, which is so handy but was pretty full most of the time and I don't do well in small busy spaces) so we used Bolt to explore. The hotel itself is very clean and well maintained as was the room we stayed in. It was cleaned and the bed made daily and if we were in the room they would always ask if we wanted fresh towels. On our last day, one member of staff worked tirelessly to put out the individual sunshades around the whole complex. His name is Rupesh and we felt he deserved a mention on this 5-star review. He worked so hard, all day long. Finally, to all the members of staff, Thank you for making our first visit to Malta a fantastic one. These memories will last a life time and Malta now holds a special place in our hearts. We'll definitely be back to DB Seabank. . Fantastic.

I was going to give 5 stars, but there are a few things I didn’t like about the hotel. First of all, when we arrived, they gave us a room with four single beds, even though they knew a family with two kids was coming. After about an hour, I had to request to change the single beds to a double. The kids’ entertainment and kids’ club were not very engaging or energetic-in fact, I would say they were very basic. The animation team didn’t seem enthusiastic or entertaining. The only thing we really enjoyed was the night show. The kids didn’t even want to go to the kids’ club because, as they said, all they did there was watch TV-there were no activities. At the Dome Bar, there was always a long queue for drinks. Sometimes you would see three or four bar attendants, but most of the time there were only two, so the queue just kept getting bigger. I can only imagine how bad it gets in July and August, especially since most people get their drinks while relaxing near the pool. The Pearl Spa was expensive, and we didn’t receive good service or have good therapists. As for late check-out, if you request one or two extra hours, you have to be an All-Inclusive Plus member, which means paying an extra £25 per person. Many hotels offer a complimentary one-hour late check-out, especially for families with little kids. Because of these issues we experienced at the hotel, we wouldn’t recommend it to our friends or family.

Beautiful location! Staff were fantastic—especially Shu Chef Godfrey who catered to my allergies with real care. Plenty of fun entertainment, loved the aqua activities and darts. The only downside was the air con in our room not working, and the promised fan never arrived. Still, a great stay overall!

Keiron Camacho

Nice Hotel, With a Brilliant view, nice and cosy room with a brilliant balcony with a superb view however the fridge did not work, outstanding breakfast buffet with a plethora of options that are bound to suit all. Has a roof top bar along with roof top pool in addition to an indoor pool and outdoor pool. Perfect location as it's roughly a 20 minute walk from the beach and got various shops and restaurants within close proximity of the hotel.

STIFLING HOT It’s difficult to provide an accurate review of the rooms, as they were generally nice; however, my stay was significantly impacted by the lack of air conditioning. I was initially placed in an interior room with no outdoor window and no A/C, resulting in uncomfortable nighttime temperatures of around 26–27°C. The hotel staff were unable or unwilling to move me to a more suitable room within the same category, prioritizing booking classifications over guest comfort. Decision-making appeared to be heavily centralized, leading to long wait times, especially over a holiday weekend when management was not readily available. I was eventually moved to a second room that was heavily scented with perfume, making it equally unpleasant. On my third night, I was transferred to a better room with an outdoor window, but still without air conditioning, where it remained 23°C even at 5 AM. I spent the first two days of my trip dealing with room changes instead of enjoying my time with friends. When I requested a refund for the first two nights, I was told to contact Orbitz. Although Orbitz intervened, the hotel only agreed to refund €55 as a gesture. I have video evidence of a staff member confirming that the air conditioning had been out for some time. During my stay, temperatures ranged from 20 to 24°C. The hotel failed to disclose that the building lacks air conditioning, leaving guests without a choice. An interior, windowless room quickly becomes stifling, but it seems guest comfort takes a backseat to their bottom line. The photo I have provided is from a video I took. This is the temperature at 5 AM in a room that has a window to the outdoors. The balcony door was not open as was indicated on the display. On a positive note, most of the staff were kind and friendly, aside from one individual who checked me in during the evening shift.

I liked the service. Food is Ok. The rooms are modern, specially the electrical system, it's fantastic. The bus stop is right there. The beach is not far. I just didn't like to be placed in a building separated from the main hotel block. I felt like I was in a rented apartment, not in a hotel. However, I enjoyed my stay.

A well-equipped hotel let down by confusing rules and poor management We stayed at the Maritim Hotel as a family of four with two small children (ages 7 and 1) from April 19 to 23. Overall, our experience was pleasant, but several odd and unnecessarily strict rules made the stay more restrictive than it needed to be. What we loved • Beautiful garden and outdoor space: The hotel’s garden is lovely—lush, green, and full of friendly cats, which our kids adored. The outdoor pool area is also well-maintained and a highlight of the property. • Delicious and nutritious breakfast: A solid spread each morning with plenty of healthy and tasty options. • Nice indoor pool and jacuzzi: Clean, spacious, and relaxing for adults. • Modern, clean rooms: The rooms are fresh, well-kept, and comfortable. Everything worked as expected. What needs improvement • Overly restrictive pool policies: • The rooftop pool, which offers a stunning view, is closed to families with children under 16. This rule feels excessive and puzzling. With proper supervision, there’s no reason why kids couldn’t be allowed there—especially since it’s not a rowdy bar environment. • The indoor pool only allows children from 12:00 to 16:00, a strange limitation that’s not consistently enforced. On one day, kids are welcome; the next, they’re turned away. When the rooftop pool is off-limits and indoor hours for kids are so short, families are left with little flexibility. • Needlessly complicated towel procedure: Getting towels for the pool requires picking up a special paper slip at the reception, then going to the -1 floor to exchange it. Even at the rooftop pool on the 9th floor, you’re expected to follow this awkward process. It’s time-consuming and inefficient—why not just offer towel cards like most hotels? • Limited and unclear bar/café hours: • The rooftop bar opens at 11 and closes by 17—even though it’s still light outside until 20:00. It feels like a missed opportunity for guests to enjoy the view with a drink in the evening. • The bar in the reception area also doesn’t serve coffee, opens very late and has no posted schedule. This adds to the sense of disorganization. • Spa service lacking warmth: While the spa facilities are okay, the reception staff didn’t feel as welcoming or attentive compared to other spas we’ve visited in Malta, such as Carisma Spa or the Hilton spa. Final thoughts The Maritim has all the ingredients of a great family hotel—good food, nice pools, clean rooms, and lovely grounds—but it’s held back by oddly strict and poorly communicated policies that reduce guest enjoyment. With more thoughtful management and a focus on guest experience, it could easily become a top choice for families visiting the area.

We spent 1 week on honeymoon in the hotel, we were greeted with a room upgrade, also rose pettles and red heart balloons on the bed. The hotel staff were so friendly and really helpful with our questions through out our stay. Lovely modern hotel, finished to a high standard...bed was fantastic, best sleep ever.

Lisa Canton

We stayed at Luna as a last minute getaway in April. Luckily, we had 2 lovely warm days and the sky pool is an absolute delight - plenty of corners to escape the wind, immaculately clean and tranquil (no kids, ambient music) with 360 views. The water was cold but entry necessary! The complex itself has everything you need to hand, including a variety of great restaurants in close proximity. There's even a bus stop with frequent buses right outside the hotel. Brilliant!

Julie Kime

Just spent 7 days here and it was superb Staff ultra friendly and happy to accommodate Food delicious Very very clean hotel. New towels every day Spent hours at the sky lounge which is beautiful. Play great soothing music Pool lush but a bit cool 2 young men at this bar were especially lovely , please pass on our compliments Tell them English lady in lilac swimsuit and white cap Had loads of drinks here Would recommend this hotel to anybody Should be a 4 or 5 star Maybe English tv be better Lots of buses taking you all over the island and only 2 euro per journey GREAT HOLIDAY

Jamal Nash

This hotel was perfect for our break. The location is perfect. You're five minutes from the beach and some local restaurants. The bus stops are very close. The facilities in the hotel are great. We only had breakfast but it was delicious plus they had hashbrowns which is always a bonus. I used the gym which had a reasonable amount of equipment some stuff needed an update. Indoor and rooftop pools are good. Staff were nice. All round a great hotel.

Mira Podmanická

The hotel was a great surprise. Really nice, clean hotel in a great spot, close to the beach, surrounded by restaurants. The room was comfortable, with a small kitchen and a balcony. Indoor pool is great was little children, but not only. Breakfast was really nice and food was fresh. We also went for dinner in the hotel restaurant and food was nice. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Julie De Mattia

Had an amazing 7 nights in this lovely hotel the last week of February. Stayed in room 4402 with a fabulous view of the church. All staff very friendly. Towels and bedsheets changed frequently. Everything you could need for self catering. Supermarket very reasonable with good variety of products. Hotel and room spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.

Nicky Fink

What a stunning location! We had an amazing sea view. The rooms were large and the bed was very comfortable. All amenities there like a kettle, safe, fridge etc. The staff were amazing and so helpful. The restaurant staff spoke to the chefs and made me a free from dessert each night which was so thoughtful. There are 4 pools, lovely bars and the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner were always laid out well with lots of choice. We would definitely recommend it and will definitely be going again.

During my trip representing Hong Kong at the FIDE World Amateur Chess Championships, I stayed at Paradise Bay Resort. The location is right by the water, with a beautiful view of the ferry terminal. Great if you plan to take trips out to sea, though it’s quite a distance from the main city center. The room was very spacious, although the furniture and bedding were basic and a bit dated. That said, it was acceptable, and I especially appreciated being able to sleep with the balcony door open (October), the natural breeze at night made air conditioning unnecessary. The hotel’s outdoor pool and seaside setting gave it a holiday vibe, and it’s definitely convenient for ferry travellers or those looking for a quiet coastal stay away from the crowds.

kalena reid

First day here paid a lot for all inclusive hardly any drinks are available for us on package. This morning breakfast. Potatoes under cooked. Not only that now family of 8 with kids refusing CASH it's not on at all. So we are in the middle of nowhere and can't even buy some crisps for children not even any sun scream on booking it SHOULD state about limited all inclusive drinks and also should state that CASH ONLY in hotel I will be taking this further when back booked family of 8 rooms away from each other kids crying with sea water in pools. States family hotel no music on or anything kids bored

Rania Mohamed

The hotel is located in a beautiful area of Mellieha, just a short distance from the ferry terminal. Our room had a lovely balcony with a stunning view of the bay. There are plenty of pools available, including an indoor one, which was a great bonus since the weather was too cold for outdoor swimming. Most of the staff we encountered were friendly and polite. However, a few things could definitely be improved. The WiFi was very poor, and there was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom whenever the toilet was flushed. The room itself felt quite dated and not very well maintained — the mini fridge kept leaking, and there was visible mold in the bathroom. As for the hotel restaurant by the beach, the experience was a bit inconsistent: one night the food was excellent, but on another visit the bread was stale and the overall quality much lower. Overall, the location and staff were lovely, but the maintenance and amenities could really use some attention.

Linda Engelro

STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND to book this hotel! We did not get the room we orderd and the staff were very unhelpful regarding this. They say it’s booking.coms fault and booking.com says it’s the hotels responsibility to provide me with what i orderd. I dont want to put my energy on holiday on this. The waterpressure in the showers is bad. Also the water goes from cold to hot and that makes it hard to shower children. Broken sink. Loud noises from the harbour. The private beach is not nice. Breakfast is tasteless. We booked 3 rooms, but got placed far apart from eachother and staff is very unhelpful about this to.

Booked a weekend getaway break to Malta via a travel agent for my daughter's birthday recently. I had a seaview apartment (beautiful sight to Behold 🤩 🌊) Shout out to my travel agent (Tele Adewusi of Inteletravel) for booking this amazing Hotel and organising cabs to and from the Hotel etc. It made our trip stressless 😉. One of the best weekend ever! 💯. See below for details: Pros: ~ All the staff i made contact with were friendly, attentive, respectful and helpful. They went above and beyond to provide high quality customer service. Shout out to Francine and Monica (at the reception), they were super amazing and deserve awards for excellent customer service 🏆🏆. ~ Clean environment 🏨 ~ Cave restaurant serves delish meals 😋🥗🍜. I had dinner delivered to my room on a busy Friday night and the service was top notch. Shout out to Amin!👊🏽 ~ Seaview apartment highly recommended. ~ Lovely pool/ Jacuzzi and Sauna facilities🏊🏽‍♀️. I enjoyed all of it to the max perhaps because it wasn't that busy for the time of the year I booked. ~ The best part of my stay was the massages 🤩. I highly recommend getting a massage at the Nataraya Day Spa & Wellness within the Hotel. They offer a variety of massages to choose from. One of the best I've had in a long time! 💆🏽‍♀️ 👌🏼. A big shout out to Allen and Jacob!. They deserve 5 stars ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ because they both did a fantastic job. I couldn't resist adding them to my review (with their consent). Cons: ~ Slight smell in toilet area but it wasn't that bad. Overall, I had an amazing time here and will highly recommend 💯.

Jasmin Heydari

didn’t like the hotel that much as a spa hotel. It should at least have a proper pool or sauna, but what they had was too small and always full of kids. It wasn’t a peaceful spot to relax, and there wasn’t enough space for everyone to enjoy. However, as a small hotel just for resting and staying in the north of Malta, it was okay. But for this price, it’s not a good option if your goal is to enjoy a relaxing spa experience. Also, the staff working there are not qualified to solve problems—they are amateurs and need proper training. As a solo traveler, I didn’t feel safe staying in a place like that

Alexandra Tyler

I can't rate this place highly enough! I was quite new to booking holidays and felt nervous about it but Pergola looked good online and so I booked for me and two friends to go away! It totally exceeded all expectations, really lovely hotel, great facilities, clean and attractive, such a calm and relaxing pool and spa area and a glorious space for treatments - it just felt so luxurious. The food was absolutely brilliant, huge range, different every night and great quality, great breakfasts too. The cave bar was very cool too! The immediate local area was fantastic - the first day we had such a good time and realised we hadn't even moved 1km from the hotel - lovely local cafe and really interesting and beautiful places to see, with a sudden and unexpected incredible view over trees, a cathedral and the sea. But I think the thing that really made the holidat extra special was the people, both staff and other hotel guests :). It was a very friendly place, all staff from those behind reception, those offering treatments and those in charge of facilities went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We were only here 3 days and felt like staff knew us by the end of it and really cared that we had had a great time. Other guests were equally as respectful and friendly and in a short space of time we met a great bunch of people! A very special thanks to Doreen and the head chef who every night greeted us so nicely and ensured we were having a great time. Malta is an absolutely amazing place, definitely come and visit and definitely book this hotel!

One of the worst hotel “experiences” of our lives. We booked a standard room with half board, which turned out to be basically a hole. The ceiling was about 2 meters high. The bathroom was so tiny that the two of us couldn’t fit in at the same time. Half board didn’t include any drinks with dinner—not even water (which was not mentioned anywhere). So even for unlimited drinks or just a bottle of water, you had to pay extra. Since we arrived late, we only noticed the next day that there was no hot water, just lukewarm—unsuitable for showering. On top of that, the power socket was sparking. We reported this to the reception, where they told us there were no free rooms, but they would move us the next day once one became available. (In the meantime, we could shower in the SPA…). No compensation was offered. In the new room (which was a higher-category pool view room), the bathroom window couldn’t be locked and was almost falling out of the frame. It’s visible in the photo. They tried to make dinner varied, but it was so overcomplicated that the only proper food available every night was chicken legs or pulled meat. Not a single evening went by where we could leave the table feeling satisfied or truly full. The cave visible in the photos is actually a Cave Bar, not the dinner venue, and consumption there is charged separately. The hotel’s facilities and overall conditions felt like a 3-star hotel at best. Last year we stayed at another 4-star hotel in Malta, and that was light years better. Every single forint spent on the dinner was a complete waste of money. For the last two evenings, we ate sandwiches instead, but on the final night, the cold cuts were frozen to the plate and couldn’t even be removed (we have a video of it). At the SPA, the receptionist was only occasionally at her post, and the sauna shut down periodically, so we often had to wait until someone came to start it up again. At the reception, Henrik was the only one who showed any willingness to help and genuine understanding—thank you for that.

Natalie Perehovsky

Our room was great, the location and view was great, the staff were friendly and helpful. This hotel is a maze but you learn to get around eventually. Why the 3 stars breakfast was absolutely fine enough of everything I can’t think of anything else they could offer. The evening meals were poor (we were half board), the staff in the restaurant were veeeery slow. The cave bar offered beautiful views but beware their drinks and ice creams were double the price of the bars in town!!

We were given a room on the -1 (room 2106) floor where the children’s bed smelled strongly of cat urine, and the odor was noticeable throughout the entire room. We reported it, and someone was supposed to come and refresh the room, but that person claimed there was no smell and did nothing about it. At 7 AM, we were woken up by a garbage truck right outside the window. The view was unfortunately terrible, but of course, if you want a better room, you have to pay extra—Ieven though the prices are already quite high. The outdoor heated pool looked cloudy and didn’t seem clean. The hotel itself looks decent at first glance, but it’s so big that you quickly notice a lot of flaws that need improvement. It’s easy to get lost—lots of elevators and rooms. The only real highlight was the restaurant where we had pizza—it was lovely, and they served really good coffee. I would like to edit the review I previously posted, as it clearly brought positive results. The hotel staff responded very nicely, and we quickly received a new room — much larger and, most importantly, free of the unpleasant smell, which was crucial for us as we were traveling with small children. I’m deducting one star due to the location — unfortunately, the street noise and the view from the window do not allow for a higher rating. That said, a big plus for the buses stopping right by the hotel, as well as the availability of restaurants, shops, and cafés nearby. Thank you for the positive changes and the quick response ♥️

Alfred Breckner

This is a nice hotel. They offer a British breakfast. The rooftop provides a lovely view and features two pools. Unfortunately, it was still too cold and windy to use them during our stay. The indoor pool was small and had a very strong chlorine smell. On the positive side, the service was very friendly. Overall, things were satisfactory.

Raphaëlle C

I went there for a spa treatment and to enjoy the spa facilities (heated indoor & outdoor pools and sauna) as well as the rooftop pool for the day. Starting with positive feedback: the spa staff is very professional and helpful, the receptionists showed us around and answered our queries; I also really enjoyed my massage and footscrub and left the massage room fully relaxed. Allen is a great professional. The spa staff are the only reason I would go back. However, the rest of my experience was rather disappointing. The rooftop pool was taken over by a group of disrespectful teenagers who were throwing various items in the pool, spilled drinks on the floor etc; despite several complaints, the staff remained passive. This ruined the atmosphere for all trying to enjoy the area. Besides, the rooftop bar doesn't offer happy hour, whilst drinks ordered downstairs during the happy hour can be taken upstairs; this makes no sense. Finally, the hotel requires some maintenance, including more regular cleaning of all the areas I have visited. Setting aside the spa staff who, once again, was very professional, this hotel would benefit from its staff at reception and the bars being more considerate, attentive and responsive.

Herr Fries

We had a lovely stay at Solana Hotel & Spa. The room was clean and comfortable with a great view, and the breakfast was fresh and varied. A special mention goes to Dawa and the entire bar team — their service was truly outstanding and made us feel very welcome. The only downside was that the cleanliness around the pool area and in some corners of the hotel could be improved. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth recommending.

Gemma Taylor

Would suggest this hotel and location in Malta compared to St Paul’s bay and Valletta. The bus service is right outside hotel which is convenient and short walk to the best beach in Malta we saw. I found the staff very helpful and polite where I couldn’t fault their service. The only disappointment was one of the outside pools up top was shut and the bar was closed where we wasn’t informed of this prior to our stay ( not sure if being cleaned or seasonal ). We liked making use of the sauna downstairs and tried breakfast out for 12 euros one morning which was popular and busy. We had superior room which was very spacious but the bed was quite hard for me and my friend so sleep was disturbed and by sounds in our environment from generator, light flashing and noise down corridors. The reception is clean, comfy sofas to wait on and good service of drinks. I would suggest this hotel for a few nights

Andrew Davis

Very disappointed with my stay here. A majority of the property was under construction. There was really no parking lot besides a super bumpy dirt patch. The pools were not heated at all. They were freezing cold even though they had the ability to heat them. They say they have access to a beach but the beach is very small. The room was very nice though and had a panoramic view. They were giving all customers free upgrades due to it still being the slow season. On-site restaurants are nice, but the waiters do not speak great English. There was a lack of additional activities to do on site. I would say it's definitely not worth the $655 for three nights. You also have to pay for water Even at the buffet.

Alaa Ddin

Very spacious hotel with a beautiful indoor garden, heated pool, and outdoor pool (which, unfortunately, we did not use due to the weather). We stayed in an ensuite which is very spacious with large bathroom and shower room and queen size bed. Seaside location, which is perfect for relaxation, but you need a taxi or bus to explore more of the country, as it is a bit too far from everything. The bus station is about 10 minutes away. Great service; all the hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone, couples and families.

Maik Sanchez

We arrived in the evening and recognized that the beds were completely worn out. Both the mattresses and the respective slatted frames were completely ruined (look at the foto, you dont even need to lay on it, you can directly see it). I was told at reception that unfortunately this could only be fixed the next day. I pointed out to the gentleman that the next day was our wedding anniversary and we didn't want to worry about that case anymore and especially tomorrow. Of course, after our trip the next day (and a horrible night), the old bed was still in the room - back to reception. Problem explained again. Then waited for staff in the room, problem explained again. Then finally there were new beds: from the room opposite. Better but still of miserable quality. If you sit down on it (76kg) the slatted frame hits the safety slat. Great such a hassle on your wedding day. An apology and attention from the hotel for this? No. Almost a minor matter: frosted glass window and door to the toilet. With air vents to the room. There are things you don't want to hear or smell. Not even from your partner. Water is only put in the room at the beginning - not renewed. We found this out on our second evening. We were referred to the hotel vending machine - 0.5l = €2 2 stars for the view. Otherwise mass processing a la 3 star hotel. 4 star resort? Certainly not.

Quan Nitsche

We are currently staying at the Ramla Bay Resort and truly enjoying the beautiful setting and peaceful atmosphere. The resort offers a lovely environment for relaxation, and we’ve had some very pleasant moments during our stay so far. There was a minor issue with the service during one of dinner meals, but it was handled with professionalism and kindness — we were offered a complimentary drink as a gesture of goodwill, which we genuinely appreciated. As a small suggestion: implementing shift rotations might help maintain high levels of attentiveness throughout the day. With that said, we’re looking forward to the rest of our stay and are confident it will be just as enjoyable!

Sharon Marshall

Brilliant holiday hotel and everything 5 star rating. So clean. Food exceptional. Well done to all the staff at Ramla Bay Resort. Not much around but taxis boat ferry all cheap prices. Definitely be back thank you
