We stayed here on a B&B basis as part of a package holiday with a specialist diving company. The hotel is in a fantastic location and we had a sea view room with superb views of Xlendi Bay. It was also perfectly located for the dive school, which was literally across the road, so the 8.30am starts were never a problem. It has a small hotel feel, with personal service from efficient, attentive, helpful staff, who went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. The room was small, but the bed was large and very comfortable and there was a good sized en-suite with a bath and excellent shower. Breakfast in the hotel restaurant was really good and there are lots of bars and restaurants around the bay within a very short walking distance. There is quite a lot of construction going on nearby, so it could be noisy at times, especially early in the morning but it didn't spoil our enjoyment.

We arrived on Sunday 23rd August for 3 nights along with our German shepherd (Sasha)
We have traveled and worked all over the world so we always look for pet friendly hotels that will accommodate her.
On arrival we were very impressed with the location and the appearance from the outside. And it was even better internally with limestone features on all floors.
We had booked a side room which was a little noisy due to the traffic going past when sitting on the balcony. But with the patio doors closed it wasn’t a problem. Next time we would book a sea view so less chance of any noise.
The rooms are very nice and clean , beds were very comfortable and the air conditioning was lovely and cold. The only problem was the room size with having a German shepherd in the room.
The staff were very nice and friendly. Raul was so helpful when I was asking for information about allowing pets to stay. The beautiful Marisabelle on reception was so nice and friendly and always happy to see you. Albert the general manager was very helpful and happy and always made a fuss of Sasha and welcomed us back any time we wanted to stay.
And the restaurant attached to the hotel do the best food and the prices are pocket friendly.
Great local to see all the island either by car or the hop on hop off bus which leaves from the rear carpark next to the hotel.
We would definitely stay here again

We have to say that the location of this hotel is superb! The view of Xlendi bay from the hotel room was amazing especially in the morning and in the evening. Hotel staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. They made us feel very much at home. The general atmosphere in this quaint hotel is warm. We highly recommend the Zafiro restaurant which is part of the hotel (the same place where a wonderful breakfast is provided in the morning). The food at this restaurant was lovely - meat was cooked to perfection - and the price are so very reasonable. One last important thing is the cleanliness! We felt very safe during our stay since all the necessary precautions are taken and measures are respected. So big well done to the management and staff working at this Hotel. Keep up your sterling service! We definitely recommend.

Looked good on google images. Checked in, very polite and highly professional lady at reception, observing all Covid precautions. Next morning, I said 'good morning' to who seemed to be a 'Manager' type, in suit and tie at reception. Chap in tie said 'good morning' back, but was far too important to lift his eyesight out of the computer screen to actually look at the low class individual called 'a customer' that had said good morning to him. Far too Superior. Breakfast, served perfectly by a nice Maltese lady. Day two, breakfast served by a Maltese man, just kind of thrown on the table, maybe he was related to the dude in the tie... Water bottles in the rooms, two small bottles provided when you first arrive. Second day, requested two more from housekeeping, but was told that bottled water is only provided on day one. Hmmmm, a 330 ml bottle of water if bought in bulk costs about 10 cents. Maybe the hotel should just up it's nightly room rate by 1 euro per night to cover it's water bottle costs. Good hotel, just the men need a little education and a little less arrogance. If you stay there, go to the Pirate's Galley just in front of the hotel, the men who work there don't have insecurity issues, service and food is awesome, don't bother with the San Andrea's male staffs' egotistical issues.. Cheers.

The location was excellent, and the room was OK. The bed was comfortable, and there was a small balcony which gave a view of the construction work on the new hotels springing up elsewhere. The room was supposed to be quiet one, but we had lots of noise (from other guests, so not the hotel's fault). The bay is lovely, and not yet spoiled. The breakfast was the usual tired buffet fare, with staff not bothering to refill fruit for example when it ran out without being reminded, and even then it was a paltry selection. The 'orange juice' was actually sugared squash - which is something I thought died out in the 1990s. I mean basic orange juice isn't expensive. Do they think we can't tell the difference? But the most outrageous failing was an ethical one. The hotel had a space heater (a gas burner from a bottle) running like a 5' tall flare in the outside area, even though no one (no one!) was in the outdoor seating area. It was heating the planet but no customers. Have they not heard of the climate emergency? That alone was enough for us to choose to dine elsewhere. I brought it up with staff at the time, but urge everyone with even a bit of green awareness to give this place a miss. Tired towels and thin sheets - not great.

Set on Xlendi promenade, with views and gentle sounds of the Mediterranean Sea is this lovely hotel. We chose a room with sea view and sat on the balcony to read each evening and to watch the sun go down before dinner. The Zafiro restaurant is outstanding and we think it is very good value considering the amazing quality…what a great chef they have here! All of the staff were friendly and helpful and we couldn’t have had a nicer stay. Rooms are clean and practical and have TV, tea and coffee making facilities, en suite and hair dryer. I suggest you bring shampoo and a bar of soap unless you like liquid soap dispensers but I’m ‘old school’ and like my own products. Close by is a small but well stocked convenience store, fish bar, and a collection of small but pleasant bars and cafés. A cocktail bar is a short walk up the hill and is worth a pre dinner drink…but don’t forget to return here for an excellent meal. There’s a local bus nearby (2€) and the island tour buses stop here too just 50 yards away. Taxis are available and good value eg getting to the capital cost us 8€ (We used Bolt app for this). Gozo is a beautiful, gentle paced island and is well worth a visit. We were staying in Malta and came to this hotel for 5 nights, travelling from Valletta by fast ferry. (3€ Single).

We stayed two nights. Rooms were very clean and the bed was comfortable. We had one sea view room and one side view room. The rooms are probably the smallest I have encountered but the sea view room had a lovely little balcony with the promised view (see photos). Breakfast was fine.....good coffee, extra toast, I would recommend the toast and ham /cheese etc option over the "full English" and fresh fruit and juice was a welcome option. The location of the hotel is perfect, right on the water with restaurants and fun activities right on your doorstep. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

Stayed 2 nights as a group of 6. So 3 separate rooms. 2 were sea facing, ours was street facing. The views from the sea facing were stunning especially if you like awesome sunsets. Our street facing was adequate. All rooms had tea and coffee facilities, and if you wanted more we just asked a member of staff. Rooms are a bit small but beds are king size so plenty of room for romance 😉. Plus all fully air con aswell. We stayed on half board. The breakfast was good with the usual full English or cereals etc. The food at dinner was excellent. We all especially loved the vegetable soup. The 2 waiting staff we had were fantastic. We had no problems checking in or out as reception staff were very efficient. We will certainly be returning again.

We paid £63.50 a night for a sea view room. The room was pretty small and a little dated but the view is well worth the extra. Very powerful shower!
Breakfast starts late at 8am when diving meeting time is 8.30am. Not a problem on the first day but we waited 25 mins for food to be served on the second day despite the server being aware that we only had 1/2 an hour. Not a good start to the day having to wolf down a full English in 5 mins flat!
Xlendi as a destination is a little disappointing at first after seeing such beautiful photos, there are a few hotels that are half finished and work going on on both sides but the place has charm despite the building work. By the end it was my favourite place to be. Swimming in the bay, the coastal cliff walks to the tower and beyond, the caves and best of all the sunsets. Absolute heaven (in winter at least) when it wasn’t too busy.
I did find it strange that some of the restaurants seemed to be open only in the day and a few only at night. Pirates Galley highly recommended. When we saw it earlier in the day it didn’t look like much but the food was so good, we ate there both nights. Fresh tuna steak, absolutely delicious!

We booked this hotel after being scammed by another property. It was a last minute booking at the reception. The staff was very helpful and understanding. Breakfast was included and also a 10% discount on the hotel restaurant. The room was a bit small and overlooking the street. Unfortunately there is a construction site next to the hotel, resulting into a lot of noise and disturbance. Breakfast was nice with a wide variety of choice. The location is superb, at the seafront of Xlendi Bay and buzzing with life in the evenings. I would definitely return :-)

The hotel is on the sea front and the beach is about 80 metres away (along the sea front) from the hotel. Google Earth and OpenStreetMap will show you the location of the hotel and the beach. Note that the beach at Xlendi is not a large one and it may be affected by demolition or construction work. If you want a large, sandy beach then I suggest Ramla Bay or Hondoq ir-Rummien.
