I really enjoyed my stay here. Stayed for 4 nights in the beginning of October in a standard double with sea view room on all inclusive basis. I can not find a fault in the room or the hotel. It was very clean and comfortable although a bit of a maze until you got used to the lay out. The food was really nice did not have a bad meal at all and the opening times are very easy to work around. We only used the downstairs outside pool area during our stay and there were plenty of sunbeds and the bar close by. Even better you could just walk through a gate then be able to jump into the bay for some open water swimming and snorkeling with all the fish there. We used the spa on our first day there. The spa is ran separately from the hotel so you have to go to them to book but at certain times you can see the spar staff standing by the pool and restaurant entrances and they offer discounts. We got 30% off our deep tissue massages and left feeling like a cloud. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. We have booked to go back august 2026 for a week this time as matla is beautiful.

The location is good, and the room was good.

Personnel was all Indian or Filipino, no Maltese in sight. They were not very welcoming as if they hated to be there and just doing their hours, barely spoke English as well.

The food was extremely disappointing.
Always the same and bad quality. Same with the cocktails that were included, chemical and B brand.

To my astounding, most things you had to pay extra for?????
All inclusive = all inclusive.
Not some inclusive, I booked ALL inclusive. Capital ALL.

Most bars and restaurants were not included in the all inclusive, only 1 bar and 1 restaurant, and 2 restaurants you had to book. The rest were not included in the all inclusive package. No idea how on earth that is possible.

Horrible experience and I won't go here ever again.

I was impressed with the accommodation and the price point that I paid. The breakfast was included and it was excellent. The smaller Caffe Royale suited the more modest budget that is my travel style.
The accommodation is located across the road but along the seafront and walking path. Beautifully situated. A small number of people were swimming- this being January after all.
Public buses stopped about 1 block away serving all parts of the island. Should I travel here again, I would be strongly tempted to make this area my base. The public bus system is excellent and very reasonably priced. I could cover most of the major sights going on day trips.
To counter some of the strong positive points just raised the breakfast area is very congested between 08:00-09:00 but there were always tables and no shortage of food. Similarly the elevators are congested at peak times. Finally public transport is heavily used again during peak times. I am a senior with somewhat limited mobility and I generally found the buses had sufficient seats available for limited mobility persons
To sum up, this area and this accommodation would be on my itinerary when I return to Malta.

Place deserves to be a 5 star, honestly the best reception I've had at a hotel, as we got to the hotel we were welcomed politely and the receptionist gave all details about the hotel and was easy to understand. The food was great in the all inclusive buffets and the pools and games room were great. Housekeeping were very on top of everything aswell. Location was great, we went in January and was still a great view and loads to do. Highly recommend.

Very Disappointing and Poorly Organized
We stayed at Quara Hotel for 5 nights on an all-inclusive package, and unfortunately the experience was extremely frustrating due to very poor organization around dining.
The main buffet restaurant (Da Villa) is supposed to be the primary dining hall, while the other specialty restaurants require reservations. We booked the Japanese restaurant through the reception for our family, but when we arrived, the supervisor told us we were not booked for everyone. When I explained that the booking was done by the reception, she simply said it was not her problem. This is unacceptable for a 4-star hotel.
The biggest disappointment happened on New Year’s Eve. We queued to enter the main buffet restaurant (Da Villa), only to be told that we had to book dinner and even lunch in advance. When we tried to check the system it showed there was no space available even though we were standing right there waiting to eat! We have stayed in many all-inclusive hotels and normally the main buffet does not require booking. Only special or themed restaurants should need reservations. If reservations are required, the hotel should clearly inform guests, or the reception should organize it properly. None of that happened here.
Everything was very confusing, badly managed, and caused unnecessary stress during what should have been a relaxing holiday. The location is great and some of the staff are friendly, but the lack of communication and poor management completely ruined the experience for us.
We would not choose to stay here again, and I would not recommend this hotel unless they seriously improve their organization and guest communication.

Had an excellent experience! Breakfast is fabulous and staff very helpful.

I had a wonderful four night stay here. The hotel was spotless throughout, and the service from the reception team was exceptional, special thanks to the gentleman who checked our room out at 5am on 24/12. Breakfast was enjoyable, and although I didn’t use the pool or sauna facilities, everything seemed well maintained.
A couple of small downsides: the room walls are quite thin, so outside noise carries easily, and there’s a €10 deposit required for a gym towel to use the gym. Still, overall, it was a great stay and I’d happily return.

I started being sick earlier and thought it was me but now my father is bad from the food
Not happy ,food poisoning.

01.12.2025 D&CMck

I have no complaints, this place is absolutely amazing, staff are very helpful and respectful, the place is very clean, food is brilliant.
The only thing is the cleaners can make less noise with the furniture when cleaning, we struggled to sleep because of the constant noise, rather than pulling the chairs hard it can be pulled easy to consider guest, the bathrooms are clean but can use an air freshener its has a funny smell.
I would definitely recommend and we'll be back, plan to walk with a freshener for the bathroom 🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰

Good location for a relaxing holiday. Getting around is super easy by bus, bolt or walking.
