Saint Julian's Bay Tours and Activities

The hotel is a few streets back from the main Qawra tourist areas. The Reception area was quite dark. On approaching the hotel there's no signage to indicate where the reception desk is (on you left behind you as you walk in) I mentioned it being dark and they put a few lights on but it was still gloomy. The hotel needs modernising. It doesn't look like much has changed since it was built The room was clean the bed comfortable. There wasn't any bottled water in the room, most 4 star hotels in Malta give you a free bottle of still water. The supplied toiletries on the room were a decent quality. The toilet was so close to the wall, bigger people need to sit to the side. There were 2 unidentified red stains on the bed. Didn't look like blood. Despite our room being close to the lifts we didn't hear noise. maybe a little bit from the street outside. The indoor and outdoor pools looked ok if a little bit small. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss. Coffee and Scrambled eggs were great, but everything else was bad. I'd suggest going room only and going out for breakfast. There is a lack of signage. no sign pointing to reception, the indoor pool, the bar or the dining area. £85 for 1 night in late September 2026 isn't too bad for a 4 star hotel in Malta. I don't think you'd be disappointed, but there are better places to stay

We stayed two nights after a week long trip around the islands. It's a brand new hotel, but delivers very inconsistently, particularly given it's price point. We had booked a room with seaview - which had a fantastic view of the bay. Our impression is that most other rooms inside the hotel did not have this excellent view though. The room was overall in very good standard, but with some slightly sour smell to the towels. The room was well noise isolated from the outside and had good AC. Reception staff was also super helpful and friendly. The biggest letdown was the half board service, which was a definite waste of money. Particularly the dinner felt like a joke with something that looked like a kids menu (spaghetti bolognese and chicken burgers) and very limited options, plus a poor tasting desert. It does also not include any drinks whatsoever. We opted to go elsewhere on our second day despite having paid for it in advance. We had similar issues with a rooftop restaurant - exceptionally slow (60min+ waiting time for some hummus and a sandwich) and unapologetic about it. The rooftop is beautiful, but it is a restaurant that lowers the experience of the hotel. Lots of smoke and mirrors between what it tries to present itself as and what it really is. There was occasional very loud music behind played from the rooftop as well. Overall, I do think there would be better option in the town - particularly ones that can deliver to a similar standard for a much better price.
