I can’t recommend this beautiful hotel enough. The food is gorgeous with so many options. Bedrooms are very comfortable and clean. Pools are lovely and location is great. Most importantly, the staff, especially the entertainment staff are absolutely wonderful. They make such an effort to get to know everyone. They are amazing with the kids and the dancers…just wow! Just when we thought our holiday couldn’t get any better…our little girl got to meet all the dancers backstage and give them a little gift on the last night. What a talented and kind group of people. Thank you so much db San Antonio for an unforgettable holiday.

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.

We visited as a couple having been guided by our travel agent that this hotel was ideal for a central location for exploring. The premises is just down the road from the local bus station, and has good links to all areas.
The hotel is very clean and has good overall facilities with an indoor and outdoor pools, spa and gym.
A main buffet style restaurant with a wide selection of foods, all with good flavours to suit all tastes. This was very busy at most times. There are also three separate restaurants that can be booked, if you are all inclusive you are allowed one visit per week without extra cost. We visited Tagine which was Indian Moroccan, great food and flavours.
The room we were allocated was on the 9th floor, but the lifts are excellent, and our room had a lovely sea view. Always very clean and well serviced by our excellent attendant Baburam.
Unlike some hotels where you are charged for water and tea/coffee, there’s was ample in the room, and water machines for filling bottles, as the water on the island from taps is described as unpottable.
Entertainment in the evenings was very varied, we did enjoy one solo act who sang and played the Appalachian Lap Guitar, other than that, much of the entertainment wasn’t to our taste, and the bar was quite noisy.
This a beautiful but very busy hotel, if you want a quieter and more intimate holiday it may not be for you, but the benefits of travel links, location and price for an early year getaway were good for us.
All the staff were excellent, very warm and welcoming.
