I had a wonderful time at the hotel, relishing the breathtaking views of Valletta and the delightful breakfast options that truly impressed me. The rooms were spacious and immaculate, while I also enjoyed the charming ambiance by the pool. However, I felt that some of the dining options could have offered more variety. Overall, the staff's exceptional customer service made my stay unforgettable, though the management could be a bit more proactive in addressing concerns.

I had a stunning stay with exceptional customer service, breathtaking views of the bay, and delicious breakfast options that set the tone for a perfect day. The rooms were spacious and clean, and I appreciated the modern design throughout the hotel. However, I found the dining experience a bit limited in terms of variety, and the pool area, while charming, could have been a little more inviting. Overall, the experience was quite enjoyable, making it a luxury retreat worth recommending.
