“Paradise Bay Resort positions itself as a comprehensive destination for families, with a prime beachfront location and a wide array of recreational activities; I think it leans heavily into the family and wellness travel markets. The resort's multiple pools and proximity to the Gozo ferry service enhance its appeal. However, some accommodations and dining experiences need to be updated to match a true 4-star experience.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Paradise Bay Resort from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Paradise Bay Resort boasts a prime location near the Gozo ferry, making it easy to visit Gozo Island and Comino Island. Many guests appreciated the spaciousness of the junior suites, some even finding towel origami and cake upon arrival celebrating special occasions, and the fantastic sea views overlooking Ċirkewwa Port. With multiple swimming pools and direct access to the sea, there are plenty of options for relaxation; however, some found the air conditioning insufficient when the outside temperature exceeded 30 degrees Celsius. The buffet dining, especially for breakfast and dinner, is frequently praised for its selection.

I found the pools very clean and well-kept. i was happy there were always enough sunbeds available, so relaxing poolside was easy. i used the fridge in the room every day. It kept my drinks nicely chilled. the location near the ferry terminal was convenient, especially when travelling from gozo.

The entertainment in the bar was somewhat lackluster, especially the karaoke. It could definitely benefit from a livelier atmosphere and some more engaging activities.

i liked the proximity to diving sites. the room was a junior suite on the top floor. the view over the bay was very quiet especially because of the nearby ferry terminal. staff members were friendly.

the all-inclusive food option was very limited. i had to sign for every drink and cocktails were not included. no drivers seemed to want to come here and those that did charge a fortune.
