Julie Ann, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was beautifully decorated, with all the comforts we'd expect and more. The amenities at the hotel are great. Use of the gym for free was a real bonus for us and one of the main reasons for booking. It's a fantastic facility. Access to the outdoor pool at Manta was straightforward and another great bonus. However, the service at Manta leaves a lot to be desired, though I accept this is not likely anything to do with the hotel.
Sharon, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The view and location were what sold me on Barcelo. Cant beat a view across the water to fabulous viiew of Valletta. Location to restaurants and the ferry or other rental boats was great Our room was really huge and very modern. Our balcony was also a plus. Worth the extra money to get a room with a view.

Lovely views. Good location for short journey to Valletta. Very nice hotel although pool is not solely for the hotel and is a separate spa so have to book sunbeds to use although it all went quite smoothly.
