Great place, out of the way and quiet if that's what you want. I don't think it represents the best value for money but staff are top quality and very helpful. Initially charged twice for the room but staff rectified very quickly and I received a full refund.

Spa was ok, nothing special and no sauna which let it down. Hot tub/ whirlpool was a pazy boy inflatable job, for the price expected better but I would stay here again!

Positives first:
-Room was lovely, bed was really comfortable and the shower was amazing
- Food at the hotel was nice
- Indoor and outdoor pools where lovely, tho the outdoor was a bit cold for when we stayed
- location is really good with walkable distance to the village for restaurants
Not so good…
-unfortunately the sound proofing between the hallway and room was basically non existent, given there are no soft close on the room doors this led to disrupted sleep and sometimes a lot of noise coming into the room. This is also impacted by gaps under the doors and no real soft furnishings in the hallway to absorb the sound.
- same issue with the windows, there seems to be no sound insulation at all for the windows either.

Both pool areas are beautiful, room is spacious and stocked with coffee and tea, toiletries etc. Room was clean with water on arrival. The hotel is in a lovely peaceful area, and a short walk to Naxxar centre which has some nice cafes and restaurants, and good bus access to other parts of Malta.

A few finer details could be improved to make this hotel perfect. We arrived around midday, and didn’t expect to be able to get into the room any earlier - we were advised that on arrival which is fair. We had a drink and some food then went back to reception at 3pm, to be told the room wasn’t ready and to go back in 15 minutes. We could see the room we’d been allocated from the pool area where we waited, and saw a cleaner go in just after 3pm and clean the room. Not the end of the world, but the room should really have been ready for 3pm.

We were also told we couldn’t eat haribo by the pool as it was outside food. I understand not drinking or eating meals from outside as the hotel sells these, but the hotel doesn’t sell sweets so it felt a little unreasonable to be asked to put them away, especially since we were buying drinks from the bar anyway.

There was maintenance ongoing round the pool everyday. perhaps this could be done later once the pool is closed to maintain a relaxing environment during the day. We had to go to the spa to get towels, maybe have a few by the outdoor pool to avoid this.

We generally had a lovely stay and these are only minor areas for improvement.

I had a negative experience on the first day of my stay, but the rest of the stay was brilliant. The reception staff rushed through the check-in process and did not inform me about the pool and gym opening hours, so I missed my chance to exercise on the first day. When I later asked both the reception staff and the staff in the gym/pool area, I received conflicting information about the closing time, with a discrepancy of two hours.

There were also quite a few grammar and spelling mistakes on the half-board menu, which led to some confusion when my order arrived. Some examples included “chocie” instead of “choice” and “leif” instead of “leaf”. The menu honestly needs to be completely rewritten and properly proofread for grammar and clarity, as it was generally quite difficult to read through. Unfortunately, I also had the chewiest steak I have ever eaten — it was difficult to bite through properly. On top of that, the waiter did not ask whether I wanted fries or roast potatoes and simply assumed I wanted fries, which I actually did not want. As a result, I ended up with a disappointing steak and nothing suitable on the side, which is not what I would expect from a 5-star hotel service. However, all of the seafood options, starters, and the breakfast buffet were delicious.

On the positive side, the outdoor pool is beautifully maintained, with lovely flowers and relaxing music, while the indoor pool is excellent for swimming.

Despite a few issues, I would still happily come

I stayed in Room 306 next door to the jacuzzi. Quiet area. A couple of points re my room - the full length mirror is in such a position next to the bed that you can’t actually use it because the bedside unit blocks it. The bath has no nonslip mat or hand rails and on several occasions nearly came a cropper! Additionally the marble step down from the bathroom into the bedroom should have some grip strips too.

The courtyard/pool area is lovely and well maintained. During my stay, a bar snack order took over 40 minutes to arrive. There was a bar man on duty and one server. At busy times - lunch - more staff are needed to be on duty. I ordered focaccia but that was not what turned up. I didn’t argue after waiting for so long. However the pasta pomodoro I had the following day was excellent.

I think this is a bit of a hidden gem and would stay here again. 5 minute walk to Naxxar centre.

For a small supposed 5 star boutique hotel, the service was disappointing . Dirty plates and glasses left out for hours, unfriendly staff and the only terrace space and pool area was not cleaned daily as would be expected.
The room was fine although we had hours of issues to start with as the aircon didn’t work and the staff couldn’t understand why and kept telling us it’s working when it wasn’t. Hardly a great start to a stay! The beds are comfortable and the village is nice but perhaps for a couple nights stay only. The pool is very small and the sauna is turned off continuously. The food and drink is overpriced considering the location and poor service.

I came to this hotel seeking peace, but left physically harmed and emotionally drained.

After reporting a large ant infestation in the bathroom sink, I was told the room would be cleaned and items replaced. Instead, while I stepped out briefly, hotel staff sprayed Baygon pesticide—a chemical insecticide—without notifying me, without ventilating the room, and without protecting my personal belongings, including my toothbrush and skincare items left near the sink.

When I returned, the air was thick with fumes, the window was closed, and there was no cleanup. I received no warning and no support. I had to leave the room immediately with a headache and wait over an hour in the lobby. I later paid out of pocket to use the hotel’s sauna in an attempt to detox my system.

The bathroom has no ventilation. The window opens to a hot wall of pipes. The AC recirculated the smell, making it hard to breathe. I had to wear a KN95 mask inside the room.

I am immunocompromised and currently managing cancer, and I made this clear to staff. Still, I was met with no urgency or care. Baygon is dangerous to inhale, especially for someone with health conditions. Yet the next morning, ants were back in the same place.

Kai at the front desk showed kindness and empathy. But overall, this experience was negligent and unsafe—especially for a hotel marketed as a wellness retreat.

Guests with health sensitivities: be cautious. Management will treat you like an inconvenience

The hotel is a little piece of paradise in the middle of Naxxar. I love everything during my stay. The room was amazing, it has some minor issues as the towel holder in the bathroom was looking like falling down, and the wardrobe door wasn’t closing properly but I cannot give a 4 star to such a beautiful location. The reception staff, very friendly, very helpful. The only small

Wonderful stay

This was a trip for my birthday and we had a wonderful stay. Fantastic service, from the minute we arrived, the drinks to the jacuzzi and the helpfulness of the staff. The bed was so comfy, the only thing that would have made it better would have been a firmer pillow. The hotel is in a very quiet area and ubers can drop you straight to the door. There's also a bus not too far away. I'd highly recommend this hotel and I'd love to come back some time.

Nice spacious room with tiny balcony. Room was cleaned every day. Good selection of food options at breakfast. Lovely indoor heated pool. Sauna and massages available at additional cost. Nice courtyard garden with seating by outdoor pool

Staff attentive, though it would have been appreciated if reception staff better understood public transport and explaining best route to sights.
Hotel entrance is tucked away between 2 houses in the middle of old town. Lovely quiet hotel. Vlose to town centre with local restaurants and bars, frequented by local residents.

A nice hotel out the way.

Hotel is nice i would not say a 5 star. A quiet village location, food choices locally limited. The room was comfortable. There was a few broken fictures around the building. We stayed for 7 nights and only had 2 bottles of water left at the beginning of the stay. I had to ask multiple times for extra coffee/ milk supplies as eith none restocked or only enough for 1 person to have a drink. The spa and swimming pool had only 9-5 hrs so unable to use as out seeing malta at these times. Staff were nice and helpful.
