“Nestled on a peninsula with views of St. Julian's and the Mediterranean, this hotel's location is indeed prime. The multiple restaurants and bars, emphasize Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, but it seems that the overall service may sometimes be inconsistent. It is a large property, and the family-friendly focus is clear from its recreational activities and amenities.”
