Hotel room was lovely, large space. We had a hot tub but only used it once. View from room over the harbour was beautiful. Not much around the area but this was ideal for us as we were spending 2 nights to relax before moving on to Sliema. Restaurant was lovely, breakfast menu there was loads to choose from and plenty of it.
Pool was lovely with music and comfy beds. Vibe was relaxed and just what we needed. Perfect hotel for relaxing, not sure if you wanted to walk where there is but would recommend. Indoor pool looked great, although the floor was covered in algae but I think it was down to the natural rock.

We had high hopes, our first trip away without the kids since our son was born 11 years ago! The hotel exceeded all of our expectations. The breakfast offering was incredible, and the on site restaurant had a wonderful selection of freshly cooked food. The location was perfect for us, a quiet little bay, and the roof top pool was stunning. Our favourite place to sit was by the sea, listening to the waves lapping at the shore. The sea was warm to swim in. The air conditioning in the room was artic (in a good way!) Staff were friendly and helpful, we'd love to come back - highly recommend a stay here

Good breakfast, you can order your preference from the menu. Staff were really great reception best in class. One thing … allowing external clients to come to occupy pool and beach side sunbeds… means you cannot maybe find a place as a hotel paying guest. These people come, leave towels on sunbeds and disappear for the day… that needs to be monitored better for paying hotel guests. Otherwise recommend the Hotel.

The hotel itself was absolutely stunning, truly one of the best I've ever stayed in. The rooms were luxurious, the amenities top-notch, and the views were incredible. However, I was a little disappointed with the service, especially considering I'd mentioned it was a surprise birthday trip when I booked. I was really hoping for a small gesture, like a birthday card or a tiny dessert, to make the occasion even more special. It's a small detail, but it would have made a huge difference. We also noticed that our room was different from the other rooms as our light at the front door wasn’t working and the toilet flush seemed broken as it took multiple attempts for it to flush properly.

Amazing view of the bay from the hotel bar, restaurant and infinity pool. Rooftop pool with complimentary lounge beds were a big plus. Bar drinks and food very good. Breakfast very good. The location of hotel wasn’t great if you want to do anything besides stay in the hotel as there are no shops, and only one or two bars or restaurants nearby. There is no walkable central area for shopping. We had to travel a lot by Bolt taxi and bus. The hotel would suit a couple on a spa break but would be disappointing if you thought it was near amenities. We had to pay a €200 damage deposit on checking in which we didn’t expect. It was refunded a few days after check out. The staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean with big TV. We didn’t like the mirror over the bed. Not for us!

We had a short stay at the Damare Resort and Spa and I can only describe the experience as exemplary. I booked a Premium Room with hot tub in the room...... outstanding! The Front of House staff were helpful and friendly beyond anything I could expected, from checking us in, late checkouts, advise on landmarks, carrying out a welfare check on a sick friend staying in another room, to the attentive restaurant staff. Because we were there for a Stag Party, we didn't use many of the amenities, but what we did use was great.
I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely recommend this to my circle.

It may be a bit far out but lovely and relaxing and we used the buses or bolt to get around. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed the breakfast, ordering from the menu was nice, however we would’ve appreciated a wider choice of fruit options in the buffet section.

We ate dinner once at the hotel, the portions were huge, neither of us could finish our meal - two sides each came with a lot of the main courses.

The room was comfortable - it had an in room jacuzzi which we had paid extra for. On entering the room the floor was wet with condensation, it was really slippery. This was dangerous. We managed to try it out by leaving the air con on constantly which was achievable when we got a second room key, this was removed from the slot once or twice by staff and then the wet floor recurred. The jacuzzi sadly didn’t work for the first three nights of our four night stay. The hotel spend three days trying to fix it and then we were able to use it on our final night. This was a real shame and part of the reason we had selected the room. They did refund some money which we appreciated.

Overall the hotel is new, the roof top pool and bar and the indoor pool are nice. Hopefully the spa will be up and running soon. We never struggled to find parking on the road outside which was handy. The staff tried to help sort the jacuzzi but it was a shame it took 3 days out of the four we were there. I wouldn’t bother with a jacuzzi room in the future, our room also led directly out to the sea with a ladder and that was far better.

Bravo Damare!

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel! Our long weekend was incredibly relaxing, even though we visited during the off-season—the weather still allowed us to enjoy both the rooftop pool and bar. Their mojitos are second to none, made with premium liquor brands. The cave pool in the basement on level -2 was also impressive; the water was warm, and the cavern itself was spacious, featuring side windows that offered beautiful views of the bay (no need to worry about feeling confined). The soothing sound and ambiance of the waterfall added to the relaxation. For those who love swimming outdoors, you can access the bay directly from level -3.
The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping our room tidy every day. Staff members consistently exceeded our expectations with their service. In addition to the hotel's remarkable restaurants, there are two other dining options next door and more just down the street, plus a convenient store nearby. Public transportation is easily accessible with a bus stop only steps away, and we found Bolt rides to Valetta and Mdina quick and reliable.
This adults-only hotel creates a peaceful atmosphere that made our trip extra rejuvenating. We definitely plan to return—it’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect.

Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room.

The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away.

Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection.

Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back.

On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

My spouse and I recently checked in at Damare Resort & Spa for our honeymoon, booking a suite with beach access. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected and paid for.
Upon arrival, the general upkeep of the property appeared less maintained than suggested by online ratings and photos. Our biggest issue, however, was with the room itself. We had booked and paid for a spacious suite with direct beach access. What we received was a tiny room that bore no resemblance to a suite, and no beach access. Instead, we had a small, two-foot walkout onto artificial turf, situated off a cliff, definitely not the \"beach access\" we were promised. We approached the front desk to address this discrepancy, explaining that the room was not what we had paid for. We requested to be moved to a suite we had booked. The staff informed us there was \"nothing they could do,\" leaving us with no resolution. To compound our frustration, after returning to our room, a glass vase was dropped outside our door. Shards of glass then splintered and entered our room through the gap under the door. Given the significant disparity disparity between what was advertised and what we received, we felt we had no option but to check out immediately. We are extremely dissatisfied with our stay and the hotel's refusal to issue a refund despite the misrepresentation of the room and the overall negative experience.

Fabulous Hotel, great food and lovely staff

We really enjoyed our stay here for lots of reasons. Right on St Paul’s Bay, we booked a sea view room which had a glass balcony so you could see the water from the room too. The styling of the hotel is quirky and eclectic, with its dark interiors and mood lighting. The room and bathroom is a great size with lots of storage, and a big circular bed with deep buttoning. The restaurant was excellent- really great quality food. The bar has a pool table, sports screens and a nice atmosphere. Both have great views as you are right on the water. The staff were very warm and welcoming.

Very nice Boutique

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. Bed and pillows were very cozy. Pool area is just an amazing experience. Breakfast was delicious! They had a small buffet table and also breakfast made freshly of your choice.

On the other hand, from my room I heard every car that passed by and since this was supposed to be a holiday to rest and being myself a light sleeper, this was really upsetting.
Pool had black moss here and there which I think it's very sad cause this pool is really amazing!
Something else that wasn't in our favour was that they didn't have a variety of vegan foods therefore we had to eat out of the Boutique.

Overall our stay was very nice, I just wish I was able to sleep better.

Lovely place, could do with some improvement

We checked in with Marija and she was great. She even showed us our room and how everything worked. The room itself was really nice. The view was unbeatable and it was spacious enough. It would have been nice to have a table on the balcony.
Hotel location was nice but there wasn’t much to do in the area, which also lacked places to eat. You’d have to walk about 40 minutes to get into St Paul where most of the restaurants are.
We loved the hotel’s direct access to the sea and the infinity pool on the roof.
Service was great from daily cleaning to the waiters/waitresses everywhere in the hotel.
The breakfast in the morning was very generous but the quality of the ingredients was questionable. You would have the same experience at dinner. Both the pub and Apulia’s dishes were generally abundant in size but they lack in quality of ingredients. You can tell the chefs are trying to work with what they have.
Another thing I didn’t like but that might be a very minor point to most people, was the music they put on in the common areas. It was always cheap song covers which didn’t give a nice vibe.

Unfortunately, within just 10 minutes of checking in, the glass shower door in our bathroom broke. I want to emphasize that the breakage was not due to any misuse or mishandling on our part but appeared to be caused by a defect in the shower door itself.

The situation was reported immediately, yet the issue was not resolved during our entire stay. The broken shower door made it extremely difficult to take a shower safely, and the delay in addressing this issue significantly impacted our overall comfort and experience at your hotel.

Additionally, despite booking a room with a hot tub, we were unable to use it for an entire day due to glass shards around it. Even after the cleaning staff had attended to the room, there was still glass present, posing a safety hazard.

Throughout our 3-day stay, no one from the hotel staff reached out to us to discuss or resolve these damages. Instead of offering any assistance or solutions, we were blamed for the damage. Furthermore, we were not given an option to change rooms, which would have been a reasonable and expected response in such a situation.

To make matters worse, at the time of our check-out, a charge of €170 was placed on our bill for the broken shower door. This charge was applied without any prior discussion or warning.

This hotel was a dream to stay at. It was clean, the views from the balcony were amazing! The staff were all very helpful and personable. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. It is a bit further away from everything else but worth it. I will definitely rebook with them not one bad thing to say!

Hotel was new in July ‘23 and looks still to have some teething problems, mainly with the service of the restaurant staff. Unfortunately lack of attention and snottyness from the senior restaurant person led to a bad experience on our last evening. We were left waiting for cutlery, wanting to order for over 40 mins and getting the order wrong, only for her to huff and walk away and offer no apology whatsoever. Also due to lack of communication we never knew what was on the menu or not until after ordering (I.e. ordering a pizza and 15 minutes later being told “no pizza today.”)

Room however was great, apart from the disco light in the bathroom with a flashing LED above the shower, which was apparently fixed 3 times on our first day 👀👀👀

The restriction on own bought water and snack in the room is something to be aware of (it will be confiscated if you bring in anything from outside the hotel) but at the same time there is a lack of available “room water” with one <1 litre bottle you had to take to reception for a refill every time it was empty. It is a glass bottle so also cannot be taken poolside or anywhere other than drank in the room. Very annoying in the heat and especially when you have a pregnant wife who consumes more than normal.

Overall we had a good stay and the hotel itself has been beautifully done however be aware of the lack of attention in the Italian restaurant, lack of communication and severe lack of empathy to any feedback.

Excellent stay with delicious breakfast and fantastic staff, special mention to Abishek and Angela. The hotel is very well designed with a rooftop pool and an indoor cave pool which is really nice and overlooks the bay. Lovely boutique room which is unlike any room I have stayed in before and fitted the theme of the hotel. The hotel is quite remote with limited restaurants nearby however I had a hire for the duration of my stay so this was not a problem and I believe there is public transport close to the hotel there is also a restaurant at the hotel.

Parking is available outside the hotel however it can get quite busy. The only issue I had was my room was a little noisy as it was located on the side of the busy road however I believe many of the rooms face the bay.

Overall an excellent stay in a unique hotel with wonderful staff and a great place to stay while exploring a beautiful country. I would recommend getting a hire car to fully explore the island, parking is also free in most locations which is a bonus.

Contemporary modern small hotel with Italian themed restaurant and good bar, situated on edge of Bay with rooftop pool and sea view rooms with balcony. The dark decor in the staircase did pose a slight problem for those of us not so young. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

Went during off season so a lot of the local restaurants, aside from what was in the hotel were closed.
Also, when we were there the pool and spa were not open yet and still under construction. This was not noted at the time of the booking.
Overall, hotel and staff were great and would recommend. If we were to return to Malta, this would be a definite consideration for a return stay.

During our stay, parts of the hotel were still being fitted out, and we could hear a lot of noise from the room we were allocated (next to the yet to be completed indoor pool). Management were able to offer us a different room away from the noise, but this one had problems with its toilet flush. It took several visits from maintenance until it was properly fixed, and in the meantime we suffered a sleepless night due to the toilet flushing continuously.

Some of the rooms had bathrooms with exterior windows but no curtains, and others, including ours, had no curtains on the glass doors between the bathroom and the bedroom. We were told that curtains were on order, so this could just be a temporary problem, and after a few days one was put up in our bathroom.

The sea views and the pool area were fantastic, and breakfast was good and cooked to order. Parking on the street was fairly easy to find, and free of charge.

There aren't many restaurants within walking distance, but it's very easy to get a bus or taxi to nearby St Paul's Bay or Mellieha, which have numerous options.

We feel that this hotel was opened before it was really ready, and the quality suffered as a result. Improvements are being made, so hopefully the guest experience is improving.

While the management did make efforts to address our concerns, we were surprised that we weren't offered any compensation for the problems we encountered.

We had an amazing stay & couldn’t have chosen a better place to celebrate our first anniversary. The hotel made our celebration even more special by surprising us with a complimentary room upgrade, which was a thoughtful gesture that we truly appreciated.

This hotel is the perfect place for couples looking to relax. The atmosphere is peaceful, the rooms are spotless & the outdoor pool & beach access are fantastic. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive & always happy to help.

Communication via WhatsApp made everything much easier & more convenient. The team responded very quickly to our questions & requests, which made the whole experience smooth & stress-free.

The breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options. Every meal we had at the restaurant was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented.

Everything was well organized. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived until we checked out. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a romantic & relaxing getaway & we would love to return in the future.

FANSTASTISKT - OM DU ÄR MELLAN 16 och 60...
Hotellet var fantatsiskt, läget ännu mer så, i varje fall om man i huvudsak sökt sig ditt för att njuta av läget och komforten - det låg bokstavligen i strandbrynet! Personalen var i särklass; otroligt tillmötesgående och genuint omtänksam. Rahul på Frontdesk (dagtid) och Maria (natt) måste nämnas särskilt!

Men, och detta är ett viktigt men: hotellet är inte öppet för barn och ungdomar under 16, och det blir snart uppenbart varför även om det tog ett tag innan jag såg den stora spegeln i taket ovanför vår säng... Vad som inte sades, men snabbt blev uppenbart var att det inte lämpar sig för seniorer eller handikappade som längtar efter sol och bad. Bassängen på taket såg fantasikt ut - men det fanns ingenting att hålla sig i för att ta sig i och ur. Solstolarna var än värre - inte en chans för en senior.....

Stranden såg lockande ut från balkongen, men att för att ta sig även de få metrarna från hotelldörren till badstegen måste man klara stag ner utan stöd. Badstegen hade bra, höga sidor, men stegen var runda, rostiga och med ett långt kliv mellan stegen.

Summering: Ett av de bästa hotell jag bott på, och med fantastisk personal! Men utomhus måste du vara fit!

Check in & check out les plus longs du monde….on rédige des papiers, on agraphe, on archive et…on recommence. Vous êtes pris pour des brigands de grand chemin: on exige une caution qui demande une validation par mail qui n’arrive pas. On réessaie…toujours pas. Pas de mail, pas de chambre. Alors que vous avez déjà payé d’avance l’entier séjour. Au départ vous restez dans le hall le temps qu’ils montent vérifier la chambre. Jamais vu ça nulle part au monde. Par contre belle situation et personnel du restaurant ADORABLE. Mais je n’y retournerai jamais et ne le conseillerai jamais à mes amis. Une dernière chose: Damare resort « et spa »: il n’y a pas pas de spa. Juste une piscine intérieure avec des jets.

From the beginning, there was a serious water leak in our room that flooded the floor. We were given a new room, which we appreciated. However, this room was also affected by a leak from the room above, with water coming through the bathroom ceiling.

We also experienced a loss of electricity in our room on one occasion, and another day there was no water in the bathroom for all guests. On the positive side, we want to highlight that the maintenance team responded quickly each time and tried to fix the issues promptly.

We have also been patient and cooperative throughout our stay, and we asked for compensation due to the inconvenience. We were told we would receive a response within 2–3 days, but we have not heard back.

Overall, while staff responsiveness was good in the moment, the number of serious issues and the lack of follow-up regarding our complaint affected our overall experience.
