We were offered an upgrade (paid for) the the Presidential Suite on arrival - it was 100% worth it. The space was fabulous, wonderful bathroom and lounge area. The hotel has a private, secluded feel. The pool (5mins drive) is extremely relaxing, wonderful service from Noor and Izor who drove us there each day. Would recommend a drink on the terrace if possible, the champagne trolley is fantastic. We ate in the Trattoria (definitely recommend) and explore local restaurants in Rabat too. Will definitely be back. ##### Orla Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ghislaine Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff was excellent and very welcoming. We liked all the history that we learned about the area with activities that were available to us to do so. The Xara Palace is nice but not as spectacular as what we see all over Malta. I think a bit of a revamping could be useful. All in all a very good place to stay. ##### Ghislaine Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful facility with excellent staff and breathtaking views of Malta. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful!
