First time in Malta, the island is nice and very easy to explore and see all the main attractions. Plenty to see. All water fronts are rocky and only one main beach.The hotel Santana was fine everything that you needed. Food was good and plenty of choice.we were all inclusive and was worth the money. It was fairly quite in... More

I have stayed in hotel Santana for 4 nights, in a room on the 1st floor facing the air conditioning system and in front of the elevator! Noise during all night!! The room is old, the beds do not have covers as well as the pillows and the bathroom equipment needs urgent maintenance! The rest of the hotel is average.

This was the first time we'd been to Malta and it was a last minute deal. Reading reviews about the area I was a bit nervous but was very surprised when we arrived. The hotel had all the 4* amenities but was a little tired (only needed a lick of paint) but saying that the rooms were cleaned every day... More

I stayed at the Santana by default , I had booked into the Bella Vista, but was moved on to another hotel before spending the last few days of my holiday at the Santana. I have found over the years that many of Malta’s so-called four star hotels are anything but four star, but the Santana is one of the... More

We stayed at the Santana for two weeks in April. This was our fourth visit to the Santana, so we knew what to expect, and we weren’t disappointed. As has been said by others the hotel is rated 4 star by the Malta tourist board, but to be honest it would get about three and a half stars elsewhere. However,... More

We were very impressed with the overall quality of this hotel. The staff were extremely friendly & helpful - the receptionists even knew our names & room numbers after only a couple of days of our being there. The food was buffet style which meant that we could have some of everything! It was well varied and catered for all... More

Sometimes I'm astonished by the reviews I read, and how they can be so different from people staying at the same place, same time. By any standards this is at best a mediocre hotel, with unsympathetic dour staff, banal food and shabby rooms. It's true that the location's great; but highlighting that is like saying it's good to live on... More
