Our stay at Paradise Bay Resort was very enjoyable. The staff were extremely friendly and unobtrusive. We did have a minor technical issue one day, but it was resolved within 20 minutes - great service. The main reason we chose this hotel was the pool, and it truly lived up to expectations. It was large, clean, and there were plenty of sun loungers available around. Everything was cleaned daily; the entire hotel was tidy, well-maintained, and smelled lovely. Contrary to many negative reviews, we found the hotel restaurant to be quite good. The variety of food and drinks offered is more than adequate considering the price. Dinner desserts and meat/fish dishes were especially good. A couple of practical notes: the tap water is not drinkable, and the power outlets are compatible with both European and British plugs. Pool towels can be rented for a 10€ deposit per towel, which is refunded on the last day. We rented a car, so the remote location wasn't an issue. The hotel offers free parking for guests. Generally, Malta has a good public transport system, so I don't think the location is really an issue. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend Paradise Bay Resort for a relaxing holiday.

Overall it was ok. The food was good, the gym was a bit limited, maybe some more equipment.

The hotel does not provide drinking water ouside of the breakfast/lunch/dinner time and area. Driniking water is a basic human right, it is not a feature that you do or you do not include. So even if it is the case that you do not provide drinkable water, please make sure that you point that out in your basic offer because it is a big deal. This is not a mattet of money issue, there is a principle involved.

The hotel was absolutely great. The rooms were furnished older, but thanks to that we had a pleasant feeling of home. Great pools and a beautiful view. The food was great, every day some things were the same but also completely different to choose from. You had to walk to the beach, but it was a pleasant walk. The beach is nice but can be crowded in the summer and a good bar where we went for beer and ice cream. Great location as you are close to the harbor if you would like to go on a trip. Malta is small, so getting from the airport to the hotel is not a problem. We definitely recommend and if we go to Malta again, we will definitely stay in this hotel. The hotel was absolutely great.

Food and services (free unlimited drinks with wine and beer included for dinner!), several pools, small private beach nearby

Balcony doors need some soundproofing as it gets very noisy with the wind. Room cleaning times were somewhat inconsistent, first couple of days it was around 3-4pm when we had quiet hour, then it switched to 10-11am.

I was there the second time, and I was aware of some oddities the hotel would have. For example, it seems that the really large rooms with full sea view are only given to couples, never to single travellers. As a single traveller, I was happy this time to get at least not one of the tiny rooms, but a slightly bigger one, with the disadvantage of only partial seaview from the balcony. I didn’t complain, I liked the bigger room much more than the tiny ones with full seaview. The other oddity I got used to was that you completely depend on the hotel's infrastructure - but if you are aware that you are going to spend some euros for such basic things as drinking water (tab water isn't potable in Malta), it's fine. Apart from these things, I was very happy at the hotel and will certainly return, because it is a really lovely place! Bathroom spacious, clean, and well equipped, room nice, bed amazingly comfortable, balcony really lovely to spend some hours in the evening. As for the food, I can repeat the compliments I gave last time: breakfast buffet covered practically all kinds of preferences, and dinner buffet makes you wish your stomach was twice its size because it was always super amazing, but way too much even if you take just a bite of everything. Can really recommend!

Employees all very nice and kind. However, I missed the animation team this time, they were very nice and fun last year! The service who are cleaning the tables is a bit overenthusiastic and cleans your table (with the food and drinks still standing there) practically the very moment you leave the table for a second. I wish they would just ask or wait some minutes. Another problem is that you still cannot fill your bottles with the drinking water in the restaurant (tap water isn’t potable in Malta), so you need to drink during meals and buy bottled water for the rest of the time which the hotel sells for 2€ for 0,5l). Last but not least – it would be nice if it were possible to switch the balcony light off and on yourself, currently it is switched off for everyone at 10pm.

The pool and the foods

The air conditionner was not working in our room but we realized it on our last day

Everything was really fine. Good breakfast and amazing dinner, perfekt for a price we payed. Rooms clean and big enough, with balcony. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Three swimming pools in a good condition, inside pool with warm water. Location is close to really good beach and bus station. Every evening some entertainment programs, like life music or karaoke. A little playground for children and inside children room with some slot machines. We have had a really pleasant stay at this hotel.

- Furniture in the room needs to be refreshed, as a self room needs some repair, like fresh wall paint, window (too loud if you have windows that has a road view. - For a children can be more things to do, and the machines needs coins(cash) but other place at hotel is a chashfree, not easy to exchange to a little coins (1€/50 cen); - air conditioner and the fridge didn’t work good enough at the room, so there was pretty warm at night; But its more like advice for a hotel administration for a future.

Pros The location, by the sea on two sides The room - enormous The bed - extra large, extra soft, paradisiacal It is convenient. Close to Gozo and Comino

Cons: Room 241 not a full sea view room Pools not cleaned in the whole week there. Indoor swimming pool open till only 6PM which is not ok.

The location is great with nice views, a hundred metres away from the Gozo ferry. Hotel, even if not modern is kept well and clean. Entertainment every evening. Food was above expectation.

The location and the facilities of this resort do not fail to impress. The sunset view is particularly stunning. While somewhat outdated in design, the rooms are still in good shape and apparently in good hands as well. The lobby area is nicely refurbished. Parking is comfortable, the staff was quite professional and the bars operate at very reasonable prices.

This is a large resort and public areas tend to get quite busy. The sound insulation of the rooms is very poor. There was nothing at the breakfast that I could call tasty, but the selection is wide (keep trying :)) and for the price it's still a fair deal for anyone preferring quantity over quality. Dining alternatives are at a 10m driving distance, not really an option for those arriving by public transport.
