Great views from waterside rooms

We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room. The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away. Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection. Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back. On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.

Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.

Fabulous Hotel, great food and lovely staff

We really enjoyed our stay here for lots of reasons. Right on St Paul’s Bay, we booked a sea view room which had a glass balcony so you could see the water from the room too. The styling of the hotel is quirky and eclectic, with its dark interiors and mood lighting. The room and bathroom is a great size with lots of storage, and a big circular bed with deep buttoning. The restaurant was excellent- really great quality food. The bar has a pool table, sports screens and a nice atmosphere. Both have great views as you are right on the water. The staff were very warm and welcoming.

Bravo Damare!

My husband and I had an amazing stay at this hotel! Our long weekend was incredibly relaxing, even though we visited during the off-season—the weather still allowed us to enjoy both the rooftop pool and bar. Their mojitos are second to none, made with premium liquor brands. The cave pool in the basement on level -2 was also impressive; the water was warm, and the cavern itself was spacious, featuring side windows that offered beautiful views of the bay (no need to worry about feeling confined). The soothing sound and ambiance of the waterfall added to the relaxation. For those who love swimming outdoors, you can access the bay directly from level -3. The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping our room tidy every day. Staff members consistently exceeded our expectations with their service. In addition to the hotel's remarkable restaurants, there are two other dining options next door and more just down the street, plus a convenient store nearby. Public transportation is easily accessible with a bus stop only steps away, and we found Bolt rides to Valetta and Mdina quick and reliable. This adults-only hotel creates a peaceful atmosphere that made our trip extra rejuvenating. We definitely plan to return—it’s rare to find a place that excels in every aspect.

This hotel was a dream to stay at. It was clean, the views from the balcony were amazing! The staff were all very helpful and personable. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. It is a bit further away from everything else but worth it. I will definitely rebook with them not one bad thing to say!
