We would return
Absolutely beautiful location on beachfront. Hotel was very clean and staff were very pleasant. Our room was a standard sea view so it had a smaller balcony but that was fine for us. Plenty of choice at breakfast, lunch and dinner in the buffet. We also tried one of the speciality restaurants, the Asian one and it was lovely. If we had to pick anything at all that we would have loved to have been better, it is the carrying through the policy of not being able to reserve sunbeds. We would have our breakfast and be at the adult only area on the rooftop at 8.15am with hardly any sunbeds available. Almost every bed had a towel on it and no-one was there. Some people didn’t arrive until lunchtime. Also, enforce a better dress code in the buffet restaurant, state was is acceptable to wear and what isn’t. We do t want to see wet swimwear and half naked bodies during lunch or dinner.

Milestone Birthday Holiday at Qwara Palace Malta
We stayed here for 4 nights for my milestone birthday and holiday combo. The hotel is opposite St Paul's Bays. We had a sea view front. The hotel is huge and lots to do. There are numerous restaurants where you need to book prior as spaces are limited. My favourite was the Carribbean and Asian restaurant. The buffet restaurant Develle was fab lots of selection and different dishes everyday.. no need to book here. Great food. The hotel has a roof top bar which the scenery is spectacular. My favourite was the SPA area where there is a indoor pool and it's tranquil and a very relaxing area. Massage treatment was excellent. On my last day I spotted the mini golf. The service was very good from reception on entry to the reception, restaurants, bars, gym, spa. Staff are so kind and helpful. Amazing hotel x

Be careful what you leave in your room
Let me start with the positives - a clean hotel and room which is well stocked . The extra plus is the air conditioning. The negatives - poor check in by the man that checked us in - not interested in doing his job properly - Important prescribed Medication removed from my bed side table - was returned after I kicked up a fuss - manager was apologetic but the reason given was poor once I went away and thought about . I did accept it at the time but at no point should anything be taken from a room in a hotel that you have paid for . The trust is gone .

Ok stay but very crowded. Not 4 star
On arrival, we got at hotel early which is fine as we knew check in wasn't until 3pm so went and had lunch at the buffet which nice. There is plenty for everyone and a great range. Although wine and beer feels watered down. Then we came to 3pm and still not able to get in room bearing in mind we have been travelling since 3am! Eventually after some fuss at 3 20pm they got us into our room and in their defence had given us a bottle of fizz, some swan towels and nice biscuits.
The hotel, the week, we stayed had a lot of guests and it felt crowded and cramped. The pool is not nearly big enough and being with a teenager under 17 we could not use the top pool. The sunbeds are so close together that you can't relax and all sun beds are taken by 9am so you can't get one anyway. The sea pool area is nice but again you have to hunt for a sun bed.
The room was clean. The cleaning team do a fantastic job and replacing towels, making up the room was never too much trouble. We had a sea view with balcony anything less than that would have felt cramped and the rooms facing the court yard are aittle depressing so the view was lovely. Shower great and the room was quite at nice with great air conditioning.
Evening entertainment was ok but lacked alittle something as did the pool side bar where the drinks were watered down and you had to queue. We cottoned on to the Lume Bar in the evening where the drinks seemed better and it was a lot more chilled.
The meals in the buffet resturant were good but agree with people that it should be enforced the etiquette for dining. No swimwear, and no football shirts. It lowered the tone of the experience. Food was of good quality and plentiful but the same options every night. We booked one of the themed restaurants and they were nice and a lot less crowded.
This is not a 4 star restaurant and talking to our friends who are Maltese this was seen as a 5 star on the island. I would say a good 3 star but no 4 star. Its too busy, crowded and not chilled. If we had not been going out everyday and only hung in the hotel we would have been very disappointed.
We paid over the price i think for our stay which is disappointing and we will do more research next time. Hope this review helps!!

3 stars ... not 4 stars hotel
Overcrowded. Really overcrowded. Revamped of room and bathroom is needed. Food is ok'ish. Service is good and friendly. System of mandatory booking to access the so-called asian, south-american and carribean restaurants is lousy. The food from these restaurants do not really correspond to what you would expect from these regions. Too many people who come there to drink and drink and drink... and end up drunk, leading to fights due to stupid behaviors - it has happened twice at the roof top pool during our stay...
