Sea Blue Horizon Qawra Bay Apartments

8/10 Good

"Aircon, Clean room, spacious"

QAWRA Palace Resort & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Good food, nice pools and sea proximity ."

Canifor Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bien situé et facilité d’accès à la marche aux restos, dépanneurs, bars, boutiques de souvenirs et clubs de plongée du quartier. Idem pour le terminus d’autobus. Transports en communs bien développés et facile d’utilisation. L’hôtel a déjà vécu des heures de gloire mais c’est derrière nous dorénavant. Personnellement j’y ai eu ce que je venais y chercher soit un endroit pour dormir et me laver à moindre coût mais sans plus."

Innside By Meliá Bugibba

8/10 Good

"Beautiful clean fresh and spacious hotel with helpful and friendly staff. Great location literally over the road from the sea. Easy access to other points of interest across Malta via uber. Plenty of choice of restaurants and bars in a walkable distance. Can be loud in the evenings."

db San Antonio Hotel & Spa - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Visited August 2026. I was aware it was going to be busy, but with low expectations in mind - it was quite managable. The room was beyond anticipation, very spacious and we were provided with a wonderful cot for our one year-old. Housekeeping reset our room to amazing standards at a manageble time so myself and my partner could relax in a clean room whilst our baby napped. It was noisy at the pool, however I found the area large enough that you have plenty of opportunities to be out of the bustle. A downside were the pool-bars. I don't mind the token system, but the exchange did cause long queues and with broken coffee-machines or low soda stock, it sometimes meant to either change your order or be sent to the other bar. The bars also did not open until 10 AM and with the heat, the pool was busy from opening. The buffet was varied enough to try something new each visit. The self-serve drinks were great, but had a slight fruit fly problem. The BBQ snack area were a god-send as the buffet opens relatively late (7:30, 12:30 and 18:30). A half hour earlier would have aligned a bit better but then again, that is us with a baby and mid-European dinner times! Overall very pleased with our stay. The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. Shout out to the BBQ staff who always got us a high chair and the kids club staff for providing a lovely area to play at."

Cora Sun Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very large apartment type room with a separate bedroom, lounge, kitchen and balcony. This was a great combination of self-catering facilities but with room service cleaning, and hotel amenities like bars, gym, and pools. Load of space for luggage and to spread out. The hotel was fairly recently built so in general looks new. The room fixtures were high spec and very functional (e.g. rain shower head, granite worktops in the kitchen, large balcony with full table and chairs). However the sofa could have been a little more comfortable. The location was good being very near Qawra and walkable to St Pauls bay area. A 24 hour supermarket is about 2 minutes walk away and excellent ice cream shop not much further (Il gusto del gelato). A good choice for families who need space and want the option of cooking a little as well as eating out."

Mayflower Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good but to cold in the lobby and the breakfast area. Juice was to strange to deserve the name juice. But all in all OK. Nice rooms and good beds."

Coral Hotel

8/10 Good

"Basic hotel but served it's purpose"

Seaview Hotel Malta - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Great location , the only thing is the pool Closes at 6pm , not sure why , breakfast bar was amazing , staff very helpful but seemed very overwhelmed at the pool area with food and drinks ."
