We were lucky enough to stay in the presidential suite on the 10th floor which had fantastic accommodation, an amazing terrace and superb views. Staff were consistently friendly, helpful and delightful. We were on a b and b rate and didn't try the other restaurants. The Breakfast experience was a bit variable depending on timing/ how busy it was but plenty of choice and great freshly cooked omelettes. The pool was great - and the mini beach was fun for snorkelling - and we were always able to get poolside loungers without a problem. The hotel is 10 minutes walk (uphill) to old Valletta - which has dozens of great restaurants and shops as well as sights. A bigger shuttle bus would be helpful.

The best holiday we have had - we will definitely be back when the hotel reopens after refurbishing. Aircon was bliss, facilities fabulous and convenience amazing. Just a short walk into Valletta but there is a shuttle from the hotel if you don’t want the 5 minute walk. All staff friendly and welcoming.
