checking in was smooth, i received a welcome drink. my room offered a wonderful sea view. housekeeping staff, especially jit, were professional and thorough. the breakfast buffet had an very nice array of foods including fresh orange juice and custom made omelets (i especially enjoyed the fresh fruit!).
i found that the outdoor pool was located across the road. i needed to queue each morning to get a sunbed, which wasn't ideal.

I found the staff really accommodating. They helped. i enjoyed the rooftop bar that had an amazing view across to valetta. the air conditioning worked well. the location makes it perfect for catching a ferry and reaching other parts of the island.

The reception staff seemed uninterested. They barely acknowledged my presence. Upon checkout, the employee took my payment but didn't even ask if I enjoyed my stay! The breakfast was also a letdown. Fewer options of better quality would have been preferable to a large amount of mediocre food.
