Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the modern and well-maintained appearance of Damare Resort & Spa, with many highlighting the stylish, spacious rooms featuring sea views. The rooftop pool is a particular favorite, offering fantastic bay views, while the indoor pool provides a unique cave-like atmosphere for relaxation, complete with hydro-massage. Some guests have noted that the location is a bit removed from the main attractions of St Paul's Bay, requiring a walk or bus ride to reach the restaurants and activities, but many find the direct sea access convenient, alongside excellent meals at the on-site restaurant and pub, where generous portions are served.

the staff was attentive. breakfast included many options, and i found the fresh pastries to be wonderful. my room featured a unique jacuzzi, and i enjoyed the privacy it offered.

The water had an odd taste. the policy about penalties felt unwelcoming. I felt a sense of distrust. finding notices about potential fines detracted from the otherwise romantic setting.

i enjoyed the restaurants on site and their helpful staff. the indoor pool impressed me. i had no issues . i especially liked walking from the bedroom to the balcony. the views were fine.

the bar's drinks were a bit expensive, but that's not a big deal for me. still, some might find it less appealing if they are on a budget. i did not mind. it didn't impact my experience much.

The room was large, super clean, and had many towels. i appreciated the big veranda and hot tub. the room decor felt quirky and plush. I especially loved the views from our room.
