"Great location, great breakfast and suite room was spacious , clean with good bathroom and massive comfy bed with A/C, balcony. Only tiny gripes are the that the roof top bar closed early 3 of the 6 nights when advertised to midnight which was disappointing as fabulous place to have a night cap If in hire car the car park is impossible to use as anything other than a very small car can access ie entrance/exit is extremely tight, don’t bother get a bolt (Malta version of uber) app which is quick and cheap, I bc would recommend highly"

Horizon Suites by the Sea

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!"

10/10 Excellent
"Had a superior king room. Good size, big bathroom, bed extremely comfortable. Room overlooked the entrance of the hotel which was busy with vehicle noise throughout the day but quiet at night when it mattered. Breakfast was very good although busy in the main restaurant. Lunch and dinner was excellent across all restaurants. The pools were good. Ombré was quietest. Sabi was nice but the sun beds were too close together and too crowded. Every member of staff was lovely especially Pyar, Donna & Saqib who were always smiling and making everyone feel welcome. Saqib was great with helping to arrange reservations for guests and with the daily hotel tours."

"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."

"I stayed in the flat from 12 September 2026 to 22 September 2026. The list of household appliances and furniture matched the information on the website. The flat was clean, and the electrical appliances were in working order. Bus stops, a ferry terminal, cafés, restaurants and the beach are all within walking distance. There are Spar and Lidl supermarkets nearby. Everything was comfortable for a holiday. I will recommend this to my friends for their holidays. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)"
