Me and my friend has a lovely week away. The San Antonio Hotel and spa was wonderful. The hotel was clean and the staff were amazing. The food and drink was also beautiful! We paid for all inclusive plus once here and was definitely worth the money. The bar tender Puskar in the all inclusive plus lounge was so attentive and friendly and he's such an asset to the hotel. The hotel is situated in a really good place for travelling and there's good access to local transport. The massages we received at the spa were really good.

Lovely experience. The room could do with a bit of sprucing up, but otherwise, beautiful experience. They were able to upgrade my room when the love holiday app didn’t book us in. The meals were top tier. Especially loved the breakfast and Yushan restaurant. The view was extraordinary but bear in mind, it can’t be seen from the front of the building.

Completely surpassed my expectations. Hotel was exceptionally clean, the staff were really friendly and couldn’t have made us feel any more welcome. Catered for both families and adults only without even trying to. Would definitely stay here again

Nice week in general, the staff of the hotel is always very nice and friendly. Except certain people at the restaurant. The room was always vey clean and the shower was always refilled with clean towels. Thanks to Lila who add to tidy the mess of our children every day.

Really enjoyed the stay at dB San Antonio. Location was great and the staff helpful and friendly. Beds comfortable and room had Aircon that just worked. The facilities were pretty good, and I really enjoyed the treatments in the spa that sorted out some muscle issues. The cafe was great for playing cards in the evening and the on site restaurants had a good selection of food. Site has a lot of space so would really like to see a games room or some more activities to keep us occupied in the evening. A couple of pool tables, pinball machines, table tennis or arcade machines would be nice. Only slight mishaps that prevented a 5 star were the bathroom flooded a couple of times as the basin outlet wasn't connected and the ceiling fan didn't work. Nothing major. Would go there again.

The hotel is rundown and old, the rooms are less than mediocre, we thought booking a deluxe room would make a difference but it didn't,old metal beds with a mattress that should have been thrown away about 10 years before. About the cleanliness there were a lot to be desired. Just changing towels and bedsheets, the bathroom upon arriving was not properly cleaned,no shower curtain no anti slip mat,no shower products no hairdryer as advertised... In the long week stay nobody cleaned the bathroom and nobody moped... This hotel is not up to the international standards of a three star hotel dirty ,old and unkept... The staff was polite but not really helpful as they don't provide info about the island and anything that you can do around... Also the location is quite remote ...All in all never again in this hotel.

On behalf of The Gang Malta Social Group, I would like to recommend a day by the pool at Sana Lounge…relaxing, nice atmosphere and the food was great. Absolutely worth it! Our members enjoyed themselves so much. Thank you.

Horrible horrible HORRIBLE. Do NOT book here, it would be cleaner to go homeless on the street opposite. I booked into a room for 5 nights and we couldnt last even 1 night. Room was filthy, bed sheets were damp and thrown about on bed. The complimentary soaps and hair care products in the bathroom were used and thrown over the sink. The beds were falling apart, there were ominous stains on the furniture. And to top it off the air conditioning wire was snapped in two, hanging from the ceiling. Not to mention the door handle fell off when we could EVENTUALLY open the door. The elevators had a heavy musty stench in them, my mother who has COPD couldn’t breathe while in the elevator. The man who seemed to be security tried his best by giving us clean sheets when we said ours were wet and helped us open the door, twice. The woman on reception did not help us at all though, and when we requested a refund she said that she would verify it through Booking.com, who we booked with, and since returning neither Booking.com nor myself can get in contact with the hotel. I had asked for a written request to ensure a refund but she claimed i wouldn’t need one. Absolutely horrible place, waste of 300€ and an insult to the country. God help you if you’ve booked a room here, i would genuinely rather sleep rough on the streets than get paid to sleep in that room again.

We survived the night. Saddly we read the reviews AFTER we saw the cockroaches everywhere. Our room was full of insect. Thousands of ants and unidentifieable insects. Cockroaches everywhere. Old rooms , furniture that is falling apart, ugly garden that was propably cleaned last decade. After reading the reviews i think they have two standards. One nice rooms and second old ugly full of insects. Otherwise i don't know how they are getting 5 star reviews. Some positives: Reception looks almost luxury, very helpfull staff. Decent pool with sunbeds. 10minutes to beach But the ugly old rooms full of cockroaches and other insects make your stay miserable. Dirty street. Maybe they are trying but they desperately need investment. I mean insect traps are literally 0,10€ per piece. But seems like they don't care which is sad. Im giving 2 stars for the staff and the pool. and its very well a stretch. Iam glad we spent only one night becouse if we were to spend more i would just go somewhere else.

disgusting hotel. our room was infested with pests. there were bed bugs and hoards of ants, not to mention all the cockroaches around the pool area. A disgrace never come here ever unless you want your vacation ruined!! we had to relocate but even that was a disaster. disgusting, they should be ashamed of themselves

It's a nice hotel, but not the cleanest. It's not dirty, but it could be cleaner. The staff was helpful and polite, but no one could compete with the receptionist working after 5 p.m. (27-31 January, light brownish hair). She was so helpful, polite and always had a smile on her face! If you you don't mind staying in a mediocre hotel, i would definitely recommend it!

The personal on the reception was always nice and helpful. The food was great! However, the rooms were kind of low-cost, a bit dirty and not very nice in general. The maids were amazingly tactless and noisy. Air-condition was barely heating (in December). You have 2 options - on and off. We kept it on for the whole day and the room was still cold. Noise levels were quite high during the day, the rooms had not very good sound isolation. If you want to catch a quick nap at noon - it's impossible.

Great location, just a few minutes walk from the bars, restaurants, shops and seafront and bus station, the island bus service is second to none. Nice big two bedroom apartment, quiet, hot shower, everything we needed and the staff provided anything else we asked for, all the staff were friendly and helpful, we were self catering so I can't comment on meal options. Two pools, one heated indoor. Pool bar open during the day and main bar open til late. Around 12 channels on the television and 8 or 9 were English. Nice budget hotel, not alot of fancy thrills but great value for money.

Myself and my partner arrived at this hotel as our first holiday alone. We arrived to great customer service. As soon as we arrived to our room there was a smell off grease and other stuff coming from the kitchen (3 floors down). We went and complained politely and they didn’t like that at all, they had become very rude towards us. The gave us 2 keys to two different rooms to go and view and see which one we preferred. We went to the 1st room and it was a very unpleasant smell, the second room was still bad but we had no other option. We stayed in that room for 1 night and the next day, my partner got in the shower and the ceiling had fallen down on him into the bath. Just to mention, the bathrooms have black patches everywhere in all 4 rooms we had been in, I used some soap and water to see if it would go away and it did (clearly they don’t wash the floors), in that room we had stayed in had leaks coming from the light bulb which could quite easily electrocute either one of us. So we got told to move rooms as soon as possible. We are currently in our 4th room within just over 48 hours and there is no AC, Chairs have marks all over them, loads of marks on the floor in the hallways of the room. I opened the balcony doors and the handle fell off so it’s not even safe in here. Would definitely not recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Dirty rooms no choice for food only one side of hot plates used. Desert was ice cream only. Lifts horrible our balcony looked out on main road traffic was terrible. Just as well because balcony was tiny. Don't go is the best advise I can give. Hotel needs closing and revamped or just closing. Bar area dark and dirty . We stayed 2 weeks before first lockdown . Glad we were only there for 4 nights.

Sue Marwood

Not as bad as some of the reviews, I read, our room, overlooking the pool was lovely, brand new mattresses and pillows. Bathroom was very clean, hairdryer didn't work. Towels and bedding changed every couple of days, which I'm sure is enough! Food not brilliant but found some thing to eat each day. Lunch was better than dinner. Staff very nice, so no complaints really, get what you pay for!

Although several people appear to have complained about the food etc, my wife and I have just had a pleasant weeks stay here. It's a bit dated and basic but the staff were lovely and worked hard. Nothing appeared to be too much for them. The area lacks a bit and is a bit grubby but this is more down to tourists just throwing litter on the floor. I've stayed in better definately but I've also stayed in a lot worse. Credit to the staff. My only issue I had was with noisy groups of youths screaming and shouting late at night as I am a light sleeper but this isn't the fault of the hotel staff.

Let's get the good things out of the way first. The rooms are spacious and clean, there's a big wall screen, and balconies overlooking the pool area. Staff is friendly, and the breakfast menu, while a bit plain, nutritious and filling. Now, on to the bad things. The hotel advertises itself as "Parking available" - no hotel should do that if said parking is municipal parking with the guests in direct competition with locals for the available spots! Expect to spend 5-10 minutes hunting for a spot, and the walking to the hotel. The rooms have no potable water - how is this acceptable in the developed world?! You are expected to spend in their lobby vending machines or buy water from local stores if you want to quench your thirst. Overall, the hotel is acceptable, but the arguably false advertising of parking and the lack of potable water in the rooms is just plain infuriating.

As soon as we arrived we went to the room and the room was clean however we had booked a double bed yet we was met with twin beds. Got told by a receptionist they don’t have enough double beds. The food was absolutely disgusting and made me rather ill. We had to eat out pretty much for the last 4/5 breakfasts and night because we simply couldn’t stomach the food. We paid all inclusive as well and drinks stopped at 11 being served and no spirits during lunch and dinner! Just seems like one big rip off spent pretty much most of our day out of the hotel as much as we could. Our tv didn’t work, our light didn’t work. No use telling reception as they weren’t bothered. I think the stay would’ve been a lot better had the food have been better and the drink times, make them 24/7??? We could only get one drink at a time at the bar, we was all inclusive so why not! The hotel overall is a 1 star for me.

Not a bad hotel food not bad either just needs a bit more variety. Chef needs teaching in the art of cooking chips 🙄 ,only met 2 staff members who,s polite,bar man with beard and andrea in dining area. Cleaners need s kick up the backside as there very lazy as the Jacuzzi not always cleaned and towels not always changed but overall not bad. Would come again.
