Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.

This hotel is lovely with luxury facilities however the area doesn’t have many things to do but a 30 min Uber can take you to any city - my only recommendation for this hotel is to add 2/3 table tennis tables for people to play

This hotel is absolutely fab so modern and staff so friendly and very helpful and hotel so clean however the location around the hotel was so quiet and no shops bars restaurants to go too apart from1 lovely Indian restaurant next dr but other than that you would need to get a bus or taxis to anywere, just a bit too remote & outa the way for us we did go walking to see what was around but we didn’t find anything within walking distance I’m afraid

Fabulous Hotel, great food and lovely staff

We really enjoyed our stay here for lots of reasons. Right on St Paul’s Bay, we booked a sea view room which had a glass balcony so you could see the water from the room too. The styling of the hotel is quirky and eclectic, with its dark interiors and mood lighting. The room and bathroom is a great size with lots of storage, and a big circular bed with deep buttoning. The restaurant was excellent- really great quality food. The bar has a pool table, sports screens and a nice atmosphere. Both have great views as you are right on the water. The staff were very warm and welcoming.

Lovely hotel with a fabulous evening restaurant. Sadly the breakfast offer was poor and service at breakfast bordering on rude.

The Hotel is amazing already, with new guest amenities and features it's sure to become Malta's hottest ticket and sought-after adults only hotel.

This hotel was a dream to stay at. It was clean, the views from the balcony were amazing! The staff were all very helpful and personable. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. It is a bit further away from everything else but worth it. I will definitely rebook with them not one bad thing to say!

Very nice Boutique

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room was very clean. Bed and pillows were very cozy. Pool area is just an amazing experience. Breakfast was delicious! They had a small buffet table and also breakfast made freshly of your choice. On the other hand, from my room I heard every car that passed by and since this was supposed to be a holiday to rest and being myself a light sleeper, this was really upsetting. Pool had black moss here and there which I think it's very sad cause this pool is really amazing! Something else that wasn't in our favour was that they didn't have a variety of vegan foods therefore we had to eat out of the Boutique. Overall our stay was very nice, I just wish I was able to sleep better.

Contemporary modern small hotel with Italian themed restaurant and good bar, situated on edge of Bay with rooftop pool and sea view rooms with balcony. The dark decor in the staircase did pose a slight problem for those of us not so young. Very friendly and welcoming staff.

2/10 Poor

My spouse and I recently checked in at Damare Resort & Spa for our honeymoon, booking a suite with beach access. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we expected and paid for. Upon arrival, the general upkeep of the property appeared less maintained than suggested by online ratings and photos. Our biggest issue, however, was with the room itself. We had booked and paid for a spacious suite with direct beach access. What we received was a tiny room that bore no resemblance to a suite, and no beach access. Instead, we had a small, two-foot walkout onto artificial turf, situated off a cliff, definitely not the "beach access" we were promised. We approached the front desk to address this discrepancy, explaining that the room was not what we had paid for. We requested to be moved to a suite we had booked. The staff informed us there was "nothing they could do," leaving us with no resolution. To compound our frustration, after returning to our room, a glass vase was dropped outside our door. Shards of glass then splintered and entered our room through the gap under the door. Given the significant disparity disparity between what was advertised and what we received, we felt we had no option but to check out immediately. We are extremely dissatisfied with our stay and the hotel's refusal to issue a refund despite the misrepresentation of the room and the overall negative experience.
Wesley, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay with delicious breakfast and fantastic staff, special mention to Abishek and Angela. The hotel is very well designed with a rooftop pool and an indoor cave pool which is really nice and overlooks the bay. Lovely boutique room which is unlike any room I have stayed in before and fitted the theme of the hotel. The hotel is quite remote with limited restaurants nearby however I had a hire for the duration of my stay so this was not a problem and I believe there is public transport close to the hotel there is also a restaurant at the hotel. Parking is available outside the hotel however it can get quite busy. The only issue I had was my room was a little noisy as it was located on the side of the busy road however I believe many of the rooms face the bay. Overall an excellent stay in a unique hotel with wonderful staff and a great place to stay while exploring a beautiful country. I would recommend getting a hire car to fully explore the island, parking is also free in most locations which is a bonus.
