Staff were lovely and the bed was very comfortable. However I expect luxury when I pay to stay at a 5* hotel and I don't feel I got it with this stay. Our shower was broken and, despite flagging it a few times, the problems persisted. The dressing gowns and towels were shabby and need replacing. The spa wasn't the luxury I would expect from a 5* - the sauna and steam room were cold on the first occasion I used them and the overall feel was 'dated'. Overall I felt a lack of attention to detail with this hotel - disappointing for a supposedly 5* resort. The location is great if you want to party - not if you want to eat good food and explore the island, as most buses go from Valletta...making any bus journey very time consuming.
