“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.”

party feel pool access

the room included three pillows per person and silent air conditioning.

The outdoor pool is across the road and is accessible to younger groups. It felt more like a party than a relaxing retreat. i felt this degraded the overall hotel experience. it was definitely not what i expected.

luxurious stay with great amenities

spacious rooms luxury finish clean spa

The hotel rooms were spacious and offered luxury finishes. Cleaners did a great job at cleaning rooms daily and changing towels. I found the spa area very clean and spacious. My partner enjoyed a massage and was offered complimentary drinks afterward.

It was a slight disappointment considering the otherwise excellent amenities.
