Great location, amazing view

The breakfast food options were good, staff were friendly and kept filling in the empty trays, it would have been better with English sausages and mushrooms. Very pleased with the fresh jalapeños and olives. The bed was high and comfortable with extra cushions.

A bit of a gem!

Friendly, welcoming staff. A comfortable stay, although the apartment could use some plates, cutlery etc. A lovely pool and convenient bar, restaurant. A bit out of town but buses are regular.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very good experience. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room was spotlessly clean, the pool was so nice and I loved that there were umbrellas for shade. The balcony was a great addition. The beds could have been more comfortable but not bad. The A/C in the room was excellent

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay as a solo traveler peaceful plenty of sun beds lovely pool clean good sized room with a little balcony. Special thanks to Jacob for putting sun lotion on my back (solo traveler) and just a genuine polite young man an absolute asset to your hotel and to Stephan on reception for your kindness on my last evening and as I had booked early I had complimentary breakfast I’ve had a great stay!
Jane, 8-night trip

4/10 Fair

Extremely basic family accommodation, it was ok at best for a 3 star and way below what you’d expect from an 8/10 ‘exceptional’ hotels.com ranking was fine but dated and nothing left for us , no tea / Coffee etc . Breakfast was ok but served in a windowless room with zero decor . FOH we’re arguing when we arrived . We got a puncture outside the hotel as the roads are just full of debris . It’s 3 star so This is not an 8/10 exceptional hotel .
Robin, 1-night trip

My only disappointment was booked a room with balcony and pool view but got a room with a back alley view. On arrival showed my booking to the guy on reception and he said no room available!!

Byte av rum gjorde det OK

Bokade ett rum med havsutsikt och balkong, fick först ett extremt slitet rum utan balkong. Dagen efter så fick jag ett bättre rum med balkong. Hade de inte fixat ett nytt rum så hade jag troligen flyttat. Det första rummet var deppigt. Frukost okej och personal var trevlig.

Dominika, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lors de notre séjour, nous avons rencontré un désagrément à cause de la présence de bêtes dans la chambre. Heureusement, un employé très professionnel a su gérer la situation rapidement en nous proposant un changement de chambre. Celle-ci était globalement propre, bien que la cuisine laissait à désirer : les couverts et les casseroles étaient sales. Autre point négatif, le bruit environnant était particulièrement dérangeant. Les gens autour étaient très bruyants, sans aucun respect : cris, coups, objets lancés… Malgré cela, nous avons tout de même passé un bon séjour dans l’ensemble.
