Very good value for money, the suite was a good size and with air conditioning, just a short walk from the sea. The airport collection service was good. The room was clean and everything worked fine- the shower wasn’t the best, but OK. The only downside was the breakfast was pretty bad, also cold items like yoghurt or milk should be on a chilled surface on a buffet table- you can’t just leave them out in 30 degree heat. All in all a positive experience though - would recommend.

We really enjoyed this hotel/apartment. It was perfect for our stay. The staff were friendly, the space roomy, the buffett breakfast delicious, location central, the washing machine a life saver. Next time we stay in Bugibba, we’d stay here again.
