“Barcelo Fortina Malta occupies a prime spot on Sliema's seafront, putting guests within easy reach of both the beach and local attractions. In my opinion, the adults-only spa and generous all-inclusive dining add genuine value. While the waterfront location is a major draw, some rooms at the back offer less appealing courtyard views.”
