Fabulous hotel ! My friend and I stayed last year. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed and showed a room where we could leave our luggage and go for something to eat in one of the many restaurants. There was always a large selection of food and plenty of drinks. During your stay you can book a meal in one of the themed restaurants. We chose Mexican and there was a large selection of food which was very tasty, plenty to drink too, for my friend, I’m not much of a drinker. Our room was lovely and clean. The beach is across the road from the hotel. Regular buses across the road and the indoor pool is an added bonus. It’s lovely and clean with a jacuzzi. All staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant manager always greeted us with a smile and the lady in the shop told us about the travel card you can use on the buses and where to go. The animation team put on a great show every night. Thank you for a wonderful stay at your lovely hotel.

We are staying at the Seabank and been here a week. All inclusive basis. There’s a really good choice of foods in the restaurants for both adults and kids. The “on tap” drinks are ok. Passable is how I’d describe them. If you’re a wine / Spirit or beer connoisseur you’re probably looking at 5 or 6 out of 10. We are in a group of 26 people of varying ages. One comment a lot of the parents are making is that there isn’t the option for the kids to get an ice cream. Lacks the option for a free magnum or Lolly ice cream as these have to be paid for, which isn’t all inclusive. Overall though the kids are really enjoying it. The pool areas are big and the pool itself is very child friendly with ankle high walk in for toddlers. I don’t mind cold water but the pool is on the cold side for kids so get em splashing around and they’ll soon warm up. I think they would do well to tweak the opening times of the much warmer indoor pool as 12 till 3 is adults only which we didn’t think was ideal. The Hotel is directly opposite the beach so excellent for swapping between a pool and beach day. The evening family entertainment has been good too. Overall I’d say it’s a good Family Hotel and with one or two tweaks that could have been raised close to excellent. No complaints though as it’s a big Hotel and must be very hard to please everyone.

Overall it was a nice hotel/resort. The grounds are well kept. There is plenty of places to sunbath and the drinks are pretty good. The pool itself is small for the size of the hotel and was always a little crowded. Several staff members stood out as excellent (Igor specifically) and the location is great. Close to the beach and other nice places to visit. My main complaint and why I'm not rating this higher, and 3 is fair, simply comes down to very poor communication between the reservation staff and the front desk, and the front desk staff with each other and lack of willing to work with me on a mistake we both made - 2 months prior to my trip I shifted the date of our arrival and departure by 1 day (Originally arriving Fri to Sat then departing from Sat to Sun) This was changed by the reservation staff. However, I didn't' double check it. (I assumed they understood the request - this was my mistake) When I arrived I found they had REDUCED our stay by a day and had us checking out on the Saturday, not Sunday as expected (This was their mistake as I could provide evidence of my request). Over the next 3 days I tried working with them to resolve it and often felt pushed aside or was asked to check back later, when I did, the next front staff person didn't know about the issue. Thus it became a goose chase to resolve. In the end I was left having to pay the EXTRA day but at their highest booking rate. (I had 3 rooms so ended up paying a roughly $800, which was 30% more than the nightly rate previously booked for 7 nights) There was very little sympathy from the front desk to reduce the rate given it was half their fault to something that matched my previous booked rate. Edit update: In response to the Hotel Feedback. I did book directly on your website.

Great pools all very clean plenty of sun beds. Opposite beach. Service very good. Food in a lacart restaurant’s much better than buffet managed to book into all 4 over our 1 week stay. Housing keeping maid Wilma very good kept room clean every day despite kids bringing tons of sand back. Great for families

Birgit Reul

The hotel team was accommodating. Especially the room service was very friendly and clean! Thanks to Sunny for the great service! Sunny was also very friendly to our boys, which is not a matter of course. The service at the pool bar is fast and friendly. Also the bartender at the Sports Bar is very accommodating and we had nice evenings there.

Stayed for a week with our quite large (49) Riviera travel tour group. Paid extra for a garden view room and glad we did, some rooms face over a busy road and a section of the hotel is actually over the other side of the road. Very pleased with our room which actually looked down over the bay. (See pic) Room had a balcony and plenty big enough for our needs. Breakfast and Evening meal was a buffet arrangement in the Dining area. Very happy with the selection and quality on offer. The dining area does get very noisy though, very popular with the tour groups. The rooftop bar is terrific, especially when the weather good as it was for us, great place for a sundowner. Various swimming pools, inside and out, quiet garden area to relax if needed. Main road outside is busy and noisy (traffic), Malta in general has a lot of road traffic and don't expect to get anywhere particularly quickly. Buses plentiful and a number stop very near the hotel. Decent choice of eateries around and in the hotel itself. Would happily recommend this place.

Helen Bielby

Positives - rooftop bar is excellent with amazing views. Pool slightly cold but worth a dip. Cleaning is excellent. Breakfast was varied and excellent. Room was ok. Negatives - the sauna and steam rooms were closed our entire stay. Jacuzzi was rubbish. Spa treatments expensive. Our room overlooked other rooms and had no view. Hotel was noisy at night

Jackie Drew

Thank you for a wonderful stay. It's the best hotel we have stayed in. Location was perfect, rooms were lovely (bed a little hard), great bath and shower with fabulous water pressure. A balcony to watch the world go by with a stunning view. Breakfast was amazing and the selection outstanding. Thank you to the housekeeping staff who were always so efficient and friendly. And as mentioned in another review we loved dining at Al Ponte. The indoor pool and jacuzzi was our favourite spot in an afternoon. I can truly say for the first time in a long while we were relaxed. We will certainly be returning.

It would seem a common theme through the reviews we paid for an upgraded room but it seemed the room was a standard room with a few upgraded furnishings .The balcony is really only comfortable for 1 person and faces the road with lots of traffic noise and smell of fumes. I have to say this is not what I would call a 4 star room. also several couples paid for a upgraded room but were changed to standard when they complained the rooms were changed. Unfortunately they were occupied which meant the occupants had to be moved. I would not stay again .I have never left a bad review in all my travels of over 45 years of travelling abroad.

Paul Sheldon

Our initial thoughts on the hotel were mixed. The double room we were given had an adjoining door to the next room which had no sound proofing and we had a few disturbed nights of sleep, before we had to complain (people checking in, TVs, banging!! Fortunately Anna on reception was understanding and quickly provided a solution. Our new room was great, and we are grateful for her help. The roof top pool and loungers was a great space to relax and the Asian restaurant on the roof offered great food, view and service. The Italian on the ground floor was nice and had a discount for residents and we found the breakfast restaurant well organised. Overall we enjoyed our stay and time at the hotel.

Kerri Sparrowe

Loved staying at the Luna hotel - we had a view of the sea from our balcony 😌 There’s an indoor heated family swimming pool but also a rooftop swimming pool with a bar/food for adults only which was great for us! Staff were lovely - note that there was a £50 deposit on arrival that you get back at the end but that’s quite standard. The view from the roof top bar was stunning and the food/drink was good and reasonably priced! There is also a bar downstairs with live music and outside seating - 2 for 1 cocktails in happy hour! It wasn’t too busy (we went in October). You could have your room cleaned if you wanted. Location was great, a shop downstairs and close to restaurants and a beach. We got Bolt’s around which we’re not too expensive from where we were. The only downside was early morning noise from work being done on tiling outside our room. I do recommend staying here if you’re in Malta!

Had a wonderful 4 days staying at Luna. Lovely complex. We stayed in one of the self catering apartments with a view of Mellieha and the lovely church. Room was lovely and clean and was perfect for us. Music in the lounge area on one of the nights we were there. Even did a bit of karaoke. Which was fun. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Oliver Wickers

Excellent from start to finish. This was our first visit to the Luna hotel and we were very impressed with the whole experience. All staff are a true asset to the property, hotel is clean and functional, maintenance and condition upkeep is also great. We are a family who have worked in the hotel industry for many years and we found it very hard to find any fault with our stay. The hotel location is great and fully accessible to the public transport (bus service) where the bus stops right outside the hotel. I would highly recommend this property to any type of traveller (whether that be solo, couples or families) as most scenarios are very well catered for. We will definitely look forward to returning in the near future.

Edit Dankuliné Gazsovics

Everything was great, I will happily come back anytime! modern, new room, luxurious sea view. excellent weather even in October, 25 ° during the day, close to bus stops, beach within walking distance. Attentive, helpful staff. Cleanliness everywhere.

Beverley Charlton

My hubby and I recently stayed here for 2 weeks in September, self catering. Our room was spotless and the kitchen had everything we needed. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Both pools were clean although I would've preferred a rail to get into the sky pool. The location was great for us (pretty quiet), with a lovely view of the church at the top of the hill. You could get a weekly bus ticket for 25 euros unlimited travel anywhere, but if you don't want to do that, each ticket you buy on the bus lasts 2 hours or so at 2.50 euros. There's a few restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Our favourite was the Thai, which did take away too and Nora's pub. All in all, it's a fantastic hotel.

Candice Rowe

Had everything we needed. Location was amazing. Loved the close proximity to the Gozo ferry. Food was OK... Lunch and dinner better than breakfast. Yummy desserts! Nice pools, basic rooms. Came for a conference and it fit the need. Would recommend!

Gina West

Beautiful hotel right next to the ferry to Goza and small beaches. The view from the hotel is stunning. Rooms are cleaned daily. Hotel is also very clean. The reception area is large and airy as is the restaurant the food is of good standard breakfast either continental or cooked plenty tea coffee and juices as well as wine on tap. The food is tasty and well cooked. Lunch is of a good standard and enough options to accommodate all. The desserts are delicious as is the soups. Dinner is of the same standard. And all food we tried is well seasoned the salad bar is fabulous with plenty of choices. The food is not bland as stated by a previous feedback. The reception staff have excellent interpersonal skills and are very accommodating. This also speaks for the cleaning staff and restaurant staff. They have music in the evening and we thought this was excellent. Mario was my favourite. You also play bingo and karaoke. The pools are well maintained as is the showers and toilets. They is a shop and a hairdresser which comes highly recommended. Bus services run outside of the hotel constantly to get around Malta and can take you to the airport to and from. Taxi are available and reasonable. Internet is good. Plenty sockets in the rooms. Complimentary shower gel soap lotions shower caps shoe shine. A relaxing and lovely experience.

Jana Smile

Very nice Hotel with a private beach. Rooms are very clean, very big and have a lovely view. Breakfast is okay, dinner buffet is great, especially the desserts are great! Very friendly staff. I can absolutely recommend it, thank you Paradise Bay Resort for a great holiday. :)

Amy Knöttner

The food at lunch and dinner alone adds a star—great variety of well-seasoned salads, seafood, and tender meats. Hats off to the pastry chef; the cakes were incredible! Breakfast, however, could use better breads and cereals. On the downside, the beds were uncomfortable, with one flat and poky-spring-filled mattress that made sleeping tough. The room and facilities had several issues, like a stuck sliding door, broken drying "string", and a non-working refrigerator, all adding to the worn feel of the place. (Felt like no refurbishing has been done in 40 years.) Biggest annoyance: the inconvenient beach towel system, requiring two receipts and visits to different spots, with no option to charge to a card. Also, be aware that the beach is small, seaweed-covered this season, and the “infinity pool” isn’t what you'd expect. Overall, for the price and location, it's worth it if you’re prepared for these quirks.

Margaret Pace

This year is the fourth year we have stayed at the hotel and it has been a great experience as usual. Everywhere was clean, the staff were nice and the food was excellent and abundant as always. Two things though: The top rung of the pool ladder nearest the wall had the top step missing and the ladder opposite was wobbly. And in our room, the handle of the balcony door on the outside was missing. See you next year!

Amy Armitage

We stayed here for 5 days - the staff were lovely and helpful. However, the room had a strange smell to it on arrival, the best way I can describe it is like acetone/nail polish remover. We also had a room overlooking the stairs so there were quite a lot of people walking past the room. We didn't have anywhere to wash/dry our clothes as we didn't have a balcony so just to keep this in mind. There are a few restaurants around which were great. The breakfast had a good variety of food items. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

bo bosselaar

The most amazing hotel we have ever been. For a good price we had the Deluxe Sea View apartment. Well, it wasn’t a lie. Good room, amazing view, 24/7 staff who are always nice and helpful. The services are amazing with a free gym to use. Good pool. An amazing cave bar inside the hotel. We would recommend this hotel to everyone and we will come back!

Sunshine

My partner and I only tried the spa section. Pro: The staff (reception lady) was incredibly nice, showed us around, talked to us, and was very nice to us. The sauna was good as was the massage. It is a relaxing environment, and the view from the outdoor pool is wonderful. Contra: We couldn't even use the indoor pool, it was too cold, just like the jacuzzi, which should be warm, but wasn't.

A Tomlinson

Currently staying at the Pergola Hotel with my daughters aged 2 and 7 - my mother and sister. Gorgeous hotel. Lovely sea view. Love how the staff work hard to keep the grounds and the pools spotless. Food is fab. Cocktails are lush. Special thank you to Rouselle, Francine and Henrik for answering my endless questions about the surrounding area.

Petr Fišer

beautiful hotel in the middle of the town. location a little further from the sea. food and pools nice. what I would criticize is one smaller sauna. nabic is open 9-19 :( and besides today I was at 9:30 and 18:30 and the temperature was 50 degrees :( I would wait for a smaller sauna rather longer for such a number of people

Geraldine Lo Monaco

We had a wonderful stay at the Solana Hotel. The hotel is centrally located in Mellieha, just a 2-minute walk from public transportation, making it easy to reach all the major attractions in Malta. We were upgraded to a room with a breathtaking view, and everything was spotlessly clean. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive—when my son fell ill during our stay, they checked in several times to see how he was doing. We’ll definitely return to Solana Hotel if we come back to Malta.

Nicola Ware

The room was a generous size with large bed and immaculate bathroom. Also, there is plenty of storage. The room was serviced daily and linen always smelt fresh and clean. Hotel facilities really good. Two rooftop pools and one spa pool. Food was really good with different theme each night. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. Location is excellent. The town has plenty of bars and restaurant. Also on several bus routes. Overall, one of the best hotels we have stayed in. Would highly recommend.

Courtney Cook

10/10 hotel! We stayed here for 3 nights and the hotel is lovely! The location is great if you want a quieter stay! But transport is so easy to get around if you want to explore! The pools are nice, the restaurants serve lovely food and all staff at the hotel are friendly and helpful! We had a standard twin room and wow they were massive! We will Definitely stay again! Thank you so much!

Arti Conway

I recently stayed at Solana and was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service and facilities; especially Niroj went over and above. The staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming, ensuring a seamless check-in and a comfortable stay. My room was impeccably clean, spacious, and elegantly furnished, offering a luxurious and restful experience. The amenities, from the plush bedding to the high-quality toiletries, were top-notch and added to the overall comfort. The view from the room was breathtaking. Dining at the hotel was a delight, with delicious meals and prompt service. Solana, exceeded my expectations, making my stay truly memorable.

T M

Our stay at Hotel Solana was too short. I rarely stay in hotels, and usually leave feeling underwhelmed. The Solana exceeded our expectations. Reception staff are amazing; kind, attentive, and very professional. Our room looked out to sea from a sheltered balcony and had incredible views. The room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. I was quite happy to spend a quiet evening relaxing after a hectic week whilst my daughter went out with a friend. The rooftop pools and bar have amazing views and are well maintained with sufficient facilities for guests. The lady working on the bar was especially lovely. Breakfast is a feast with a huge variety of choice. We were in a rush to catch our flight but would have liked to linger longer to enjoy breakfast in the bright, airy breakfast room. Probably the best breakfast selection and location of any hotel I've ever stayed in. Mellieħa seems a very charming town and I would love to visit for longer. Thank you to Solana Hotel Mellieħa.

Florian Frei

we spent 6 days in this hotel, the employees were kind, smiling and welcoming. the food was super good and varied. the SPA and the swimming pools are incredibly clean like the hotel. we loved our stay thank you. We recommend this hotel to everyone who goes to Malta

Noah Krohn

The hotel was overall very nice and very big. The rooms were large too with a nice and comfortable bed. The hotel was very clean and tidy too. We visited during renovations of the building so a large part was under construction. The hotel had 3 pools, they were not heated and about the same temperature as the seawater. It has a nice view over the other smaller islands Gozo and Comino. We had a buffet too, with some very good food, I would not recommend the ice cream as it tasted like chemicals. The buffet has vegan and gluten free options too. Drinks were only included during breakfast, in the evening you would have to order some. There are plenty of activities to do around the hotel as well. The first day we did have an issue with our room door but they fixed it immediately when requested. Would recommend this hotel if you're going to Malta.

Don Blyth

Large spacious modern looking rooms.Ours had a kitchen and double balcony with separate seating area and couch and kitchen table. Also nice to have 2 bathrooms in our room. Beautiful view of the Ocean and Comino. Nice to have a adult only swimming pool. Breakfast was good. Nice modern looking lobby and lovely central garden with trees and plants with seating areas between the buildings. Staff was friendly. Rooms were clean and modern. Minor negatives, skimpy on the towels (only smaller size towels were provided, no larger bath towel) and only small foil packs of shampoo,body wash provided. Also not enough staff in the pool area. The outside pools were nice though and also have option to dip in the ocean next to the pool area with a sandy beach. Indoor pool and hot tub nice as well

Shaun Farruiga

We had been for the first time @ this lovely hotel, and we can say that we really enjoyed our stay. Everything was excellent and you made our break fantastic. We look forward to coming again one day and giving excellent to friends and others to try and experience the same as we did . ❤️

Rusty Jones

Not much nearby so bring extra snacks and drinks. There is a small convenience store onsite but it has very limited hours and high prices. The pool bar is basically a public pool concession stand...very understaffed. The poor woman running it alone deserves a medal. I very much appreciated the adult only pool since the place was crawling with kids. But I would have liked poolside drink service. There is a lot of construction going on but we didn't find it disruptive. It's going to be very nice when it's finished but I don't know if the price was justified for the level of service. Food in the restaurant is basic. The buffet made me laugh out loud. Breakfast...well it gave me food poisoning (probably the fruit salad) which was not the souvenir anyone wants. Place definitely needs a management shakeup and new direction in the kitchen. We stayed two days and didn't really leave the hotel...but the amenities would definitely need a big improvement for me to ever come here again. Can't get by with just a great view. Room was clean but our air-conditioning died on the second night which was very uncomfortable. And they are very cheap with soap and shampoo...so bring extra.
