"An amazing hotel that exceeded every expectation for me and my partner. We were made to feel welcome from a lovely greeting at reception. The staff were amazing throughout the stay and would always make sure we were happy and always met with big smiles and lovely conversations. We booked the room with sea views and a hot tub which was just bliss! The rooms are private and comfortable and it feels like they have recently been renovated. The local area has great restaurants just a short 5 minute drive away (recommended LOA and Venus Restaurants). This is a great stay and we will be back for sure. Thank you to every single staff member, each of you went above and beyond!"

"The hotel is clean and the staff are really pleasant and helpful. The housekeepers are really good and always made sure that the room was well stocked with toiletries and teas and coffees. Donna in Ombre Cafe was amazing and welcoming. The only negative is the evening entertainment is very poor, and that really needs to be improved."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful experience at this stunning, clean, and spacious apartment that perfectly suited our needs during our stay. The self-check-in process was seamless, with key codes sent to us well in advance. The location is fantastic, with a variety of shops, restaurants and Bugibba Square just a short walk away. As a group of three, we enjoyed one of the two-bedroom suites, which came with a lovely balcony and a relaxing hydro massage bath. We were thoroughly impressed not only by the apartment's high-quality standards and on-site security, but also by the genuine care the owners showed towards their guests. They took the time to meet with us, providing helpful information, answering our questions, and extending a warm welcome at Horizon Suites by the Sea, as well as to beautiful Malta. While we enjoyed the hydro massage bath on our terrace, we also had the fantastic option to use the rooftop facilities on the 8th floor. This area features a stunning sunbathing space complete with baths and loungers, available for daily reservations. We also had the pleasure of meeting Chris, one of the co owners, who was incredibly hospitable. His brother Alastair, was equally helpful via messages. Staff around the building were always smiling, polite and courteous. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here and am already looking forward to using these apartments as our base for future visits in 2027!"

"Everything was clean. Staff was really helpful, always available and super polite. Breakfast had many choices and was fresh. Bar offered many options and barmans were super fast, especially during happy hour. Where we had trouble was with the strong perfume smell to cover sone other strong smells in corridors and various public spaces. Finally we did not have a bed cover, only one sheet."
