1926 Le Soleil Hotel & SPA

8/10 Good
"It is a solid 4* hotel. The only issue is with the room. The curtains make it impossible to sleep in. Too much light coming in. In the peak summer months this is a problem as the sun is up at 6am. Also the air conditioning shuts down when you leave the room so the room gets warm during the day if you leave to wander around town. The hallways on the 11th are also not air conditioned (our room was on the 11th floor). Their sister property (Le Bains) is where the hotel pool is at. Great little poo. The property is a true one stop shop. Great concept. They have their own beach club (La Plage), beach restaurant (La Vie), hotel restaurant le GV (Michelin guide 2026). I highly recommend booking le GV for brunch. The food was a real treat. The service impeccable. Overall a definite great choice. Location was amazing."

Ramla Bay Resort

Ramla Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best resorts I’ve stayed in. It’s big and even though it’s busy it doesn’t feel crowded. The little beach is a massive plus as the island doesn’t have many. Food is excellent! Every day different dishes. Two restaurants to go to. 3 swimming pools and an inside one with cold unsalted water. Bus stop 5 min from hotel. Water activities jetty even less. Every room has a balcony. It’s worth paying extra for the sea view one as it’s beautiful overlooking the pools and the sea. We were given a half sea view initially but after talking to the staff they’ve kindly changed our room to the full sea view. My only gripe is no free water given with dinner. Water is a basic human necessity and should be provided for free at meal times. Loved the place and would happily come back."

"A lovely stay - ataff we’re all so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Particular mention to Angela and Ev…. in restaurant who almost had our preferred coffees waiting for us on arrival. Food all a very good standard too. Pool area lovely and plenty of poolside service too. A very quiet area and a bit of a way to Valetta but around €15-18 in a Bolt."
