Great Hotel
We just spent a week with friends and it was brilliant. The food and animation team were excellent along with the cleanliness of the rooms which was serviced by Shoun its been an amazing holiday.
Best holiday in Malta.
We have recently returned from an excellent all inclusive holiday (8-19 Oct) with outstanding service. We can honestly say that all staff were welcoming, friendly and very hard working. Special thanks to Kate, Shaira, Katarina and Julianne from Reception. Mohammad from Housekeeping - a top man who kept our room (024) immaculate. We appreciated we were able to eat in the various themed restaurants where the food and service were first class. A special mention to Susmita from Rivaj - super efficient and very friendly. Last but not least the roof top pool and sky bar were outstanding with superb views of St Paul's. Thanks to Ben and Shaidul - 2 great barmen! All in all, this has been a fabulous stay at San Antonio. This is our first time here but certainly not our last. Many thanks.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL
Deffinately will not be coming back. On arrival the hotel lobby looks 4* untill you get in the lifts. Metal hanging off where the buttons are. We were on floor 4, the smells coming from the rooms and hallways were absolutly gut wrenching. Carpets filthy. Our room!! Definitely not big enough for a family, our tv didn't work so had to call maintenence to fix which took allday. I asked for an iron and board on our first day we were there 10 days and still didnt recieve 1. Air con didnt work at all, just blew out warm air and was so noisy. On day 5 money was stolen from my brothers wallet, we told management they said they will investigate but nothing was done about it. Not even an apology, they basically suggested that he lost it. Pool was over crowded not enough beds. There wasnt a heated pool as stated. As for a family hotel there is nothing for children. The play room had a few tables with old toys. There was no games room/arcade etc. There was a trampoline which the net had holes in so wasnt safe, it also had glass on 1 of the days. The children's pool is up a flight of metal stairs which is not safe at all. Its so outdated at this hotel. When booking we asked for a family room with a pool or sea view and we got given an inland view facing people's flats. The only good thing about this hotel was the restaurants you could book. Also you have to pay 2 euros for a token which you exchange for a cup. You cant pay cash so I paid for 8 tokens on my card. On our last day I took the tokens back expecting the money to be put back on my card as they didnt take cash. Yet my deposit was given to me back in euros (cash). We also had family photos taken by the hotel, upon viewing and picking photos we asked the man how much a photo package was but he couldn't tell us untill we picked all the photos we wanted. Surely there should be a price list on how many photos you pick, not tell you the price after you pick the photos. Absolute shambles of a hotel and will definitely not be coming back to this hotel
