Great place to stay as a solo traveler peaceful plenty of sun beds lovely pool clean good sized room with a little balcony. Special thanks to Jacob for putting sun lotion on my back (solo traveler) and just a genuine polite young man an absolute asset to your hotel and to Stephan on reception for your kindness on my last evening and as I had booked early I had complimentary breakfast I’ve had a great stay!

Relaxing One-Night Stay We stayed at Xemxija Bay Hotel for one night and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely pool view, which made it feel even more relaxing. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The hotel is in a peaceful area but still close to local restaurants and scenic walks. A great spot for a short getaway—would happily return!

Lors de notre séjour, nous avons rencontré un désagrément à cause de la présence de bêtes dans la chambre. Heureusement, un employé très professionnel a su gérer la situation rapidement en nous proposant un changement de chambre. Celle-ci était globalement propre, bien que la cuisine laissait à désirer : les couverts et les casseroles étaient sales. Autre point négatif, le bruit environnant était particulièrement dérangeant. Les gens autour étaient très bruyants, sans aucun respect : cris, coups, objets lancés… Malgré cela, nous avons tout de même passé un bon séjour dans l’ensemble.
