Reviews for Sunny Coast Resort & Spa
Review 1:sofa bed very bad, not comfortable at all rooms were swept only once and We had no bloom to sweep by ourselves as my two little girls happily played in messy rooms and but I will still recomend
Review 2:Great Staff, very friendly extremely helpful big rooms Very neat hotel, environment , good views easy transport and shopping, Close to Gozo ferry and Valleta
Review 3:We are family to go for the holidays for three days and rent a car. First day, the car mirror was broken over night and second day, had been issued a car parking ticket, hotel has no idea to deal with. We have to contact local authority to sort out, it was a pain, no car parking space at all:(
Review 4:The location is not central, however, the facilities is quite good, the little kid enjoy the indoor pool very much as well as we enjoy the sea-view room!
Review 5:Old furniture, the bed and the matrace was a disaster to sleep in. The place is not very children friendly since the indoor pools are only accesible with children for a few hours only.
Review 6:Liked the size of our appartment.
Review 7:The staff could have expanded more on grocery stores available. Only a 2 min drive away there is Trolees but they suggested a fairly expensive off license around the corner. But that's nothing really...all great
Review 8:The price and kitchen being well equipped. Bathroom clean and shiny. and great view of the bay from the 6th floor. Qawra has clear water.
Review 9:No internet in rooms. Indoor pool was opened for children only some hours a day. We had late flight and arrived to the hotel with children at 3 o'clock at night and then it was impossible to pay because the hotel's card terminal didn't work and we were told we can pay in the morning. And in the morning the middleaged lady who worked in the reception this day started to call us already around 8 o'clock waking us all up, despite she knew we arrived at 3 o'clock at night!!! When I told her that we arrived only at 3 o'clock, she told only "I know, I know, I know" – like I would have apologized that we hadn't payed yet, although I just draw her attention that she was very impolite calling so early. Seemed she didn't understand at all that it is not acceptable to call like this so early! But she was the only not nice and impolite receptionnist, the others were nice, some even super nice and helpful.
Review 10:Location. Staff in the reception very nice and helpful, especially Dmitri.
Review 11:accomodation was horrific. we got moved after complaining. a number of others staying there had issues and couldnt be moved. it seems a number of their apartments are sub standard. the apt we moved to was better although still basic but not near as bad as first apt. first apt was horrible - broken tv, brown stained couch and no light. worst accomodation ever stayed in and I have backpacked the world.
Review 12:pool and gym were nice
Review 13:No WIFI in rooms or in pool area. Uncomfortable beds and poor couch. Low water pressure and sporadic hot water.
Review 14:Nice kitchen with all required hardware, great pool with indoor pool.
Review 15:The lack of wifi in the rooms having to come down to the lobby to use wifi
Review 16:The self contained unit was great . Maybe better with front facing unit and one of the higher floors for view.
Review 17:Broken bed , dirty mattress we wanted to leave within 15 minutes. Refused refund only given a refund after we packed and requested a refund next day. Charged 222 euro for 12 hours in the hotel.
Review 18:It's not as described 2 star at the most.!font complain or ask for anything it is too much trouble for the staff.
Review 19:Not all the rooms have been refurbed...we stayed in 710, 1 bedroom...lovely... we also had 409 & 209, these apartments were nice but not had the refurb?
Review 20:Swimming Pool just over the road....really good for the children, and the food at the pool was good!
Review 21:Our apartment was huge and had the most amazing views. It is definitely worth paying a bit extra for the sea view and make sure it is a front sea view overlooking the swimming pool and not a side sea view which is not so good. We were on the 4th floor and we were told by other guests that the rooms on the lower floors were not quite so good. However, whatever room you get, it is in a fantastic location.
Review 22:Second bedroom in 2br apartment has no window!!! Living Room and Kitchen area has no window!!! Wifi never works.
Review 23:Location is great. Spa is convenient and nice.
Review 24:Personel in the hotel could be a bit more friendly. Breakfast was very limited and the quality below average. Rooms were never cleaned and we had to beg for new towels everyday. I booked a single large bed and got 2 small single beds. No Internet in the room only in the lounge and sometimes connexion was out. For sure I will not recommend this hotel and will never go there again!
Review 25:Only the location was fair
Review 26:No safe. Being on street level when doors open noise from road. Only large pots to cook in, no good if you only want 2 boiled eggs - could do with a small pot.
Review 27:Nice new apartment given to us. No shop as advertised as the aforementioned apartment used to be it! Staff very helpful and sea sun bathing and swimming just across the road,.
Review 28:This hotel is not worthy of its 4* status. At best it's 2*. It's very dated and in need of full refurbishment. The management is very poor! The maintainence is very poor! The staff are ignorant! The pool is across the road.. Not ideal for small children. The pool area is dangerously slippery. The wifi is virtually non existent! We made several complaints while we were there and no action was taken.
Review 29:The Bar next door Chaplins Pub and Pizzeria. This place saved our holiday!
Review 30:Only wifi in the lobby. TV in room very old and shabby.
Review 31:Great swimming pool and seafront location for snorkeling. Excellent dive centre, Adventure Divers and watersports "Waterworld" just next to the hotel.
Review 32:Room suggested by booking.com was way too small for two adults and two children. Air con vents were not all working. And not on 24/7 . Decor is outdated . Beds and pillows not comfy. Lifts tiny. barely fit and a small pram and family . Prices do not reflect standard of accommodation . No bus to village . Only bus back.
Review 33:Majority of staff were lovely, hotel was clean . Chaplins next door . Food at pool .. Middle Aged lady and man on reception.
Review 34:The dark haired lady wattres in the hotels restaurant was very rude by tell use to have are coffee outside as we had finished are meal we asked for another drink not deciding weather we won't ed a dessert or not as she said there were people whating for meals we had a meal and it was nice but split it and made my 3 granddaughter's feel uncomfortable
Review 35:The rooms were not made up daily and we needed to request toilet paper as it was not replaced. When asking basic questions the staff were rude and unhelpful
Review 36:Location and pool were fantastic
Review 37:wifi was a hassle very slow can only be used in lobby. the smell of the unit very musty, mold in top right corner of the living area ceiling. the smell of sewer near the elevators
Review 38:pool area. Being close to the sea the view from our room
Review 39:Bedroom dark - no natural light, would suggest tie back curtains. Also disappointing NO wifi in apartment
Review 40:apartment set out perfectly - eating & lounge area with balcony off.
Review 41:The road traffic noise and noise from late night revellers returning kept us awake or a few nights. The room below us was occupied by a group of young lads. On two nights they were very noisy and kept us awake until 7am. Complaints to reception did not result in any action.
Review 42:A bonus having two bathrooms and separate bedrooms. The room was very spacious and well maintained and great sea views. Good access to local buses and plenty of restaurants nearby.
Review 43:Wifi only in lounge area on ground floor. They're not doing beds everyday only fresh towels are given and bins are emptied. Toiletries are given only on arrival so if you staying longer you have to pay for those as well.
Review 44:Spacious apartment, swimming pool and jacuzzi, quite good location.
Review 45:What shone brightest was the Lilian, the receptionist. I've been to 5 star hotels, and 7 star hotels around the world, and yet none of them had a receptionist as sweet, as smart, and as fun as Lilian... Sunny Coast is very lucky to have someone like her brighten up the mood of customers !!
Review 46:Kitchen could have done with new cooking implements. Would like wifi in the rooms not just the lobby.
Review 47:Friendly & helpful staff, rooms were very clean and spacious.
Review 48:Its not a resort... Its just that they have pool next to their hotel and they have some kind of tie up with them...no spa inside... Just they have some Torrie it'll tactic Torrie it tactic with another spa service provider and you need go outside hotel for spa. No wifi inside room
Review 49:Bedroom window was blind - no view except sewage pipes - very acoustic 24h/7 :( location far from Valletta (about 1h by bus 45, 31, 12). Renovation of bathroom is strongly recommended.
Review 50:spacious rooms, everyday towels changing; nearby bus stop, cleanliness, inside pool, local bars and restaurants
Review 51:Free wifi in public areas but not in rooms. I had flu during my stay so couldn't go to public areas. Was very disappointing.
Review 52:We were there in January. Staff were really friendly & helpful. Location was good. Bit quiet for younger travellers but public transport is really cheap & bugibba & st julian are only 10 mins away. view was fab from our apartment. Diving centre beside hotel. Apartments are well equipped. A nice restaurant/bar in hotel which serves really nice well priced food as well as a range of fab restaurants beside hotel. Supermarket in hotel. Hop on - hop off bus tour straight across the road. Pool is included and wifi is free in the public areas. Public areas are cosy. Would be better if it was in the rooms. Would def recommend & would def stay here again.
Review 53:The apartment is a bit small and the kitchen is tiny.
Review 54:I liked the beautiful sea-view, the use of the indoor pool and that we could make noise and it was not heard.
Review 55:-The bed mattress was too hard to rest on. -lack of alcohol / cocktails at the bar
Review 56:The spa, indoor pool and gym were simply amazing! The staff was very friendly.
Review 57:The bed was a bit uncomfortable. But I put extra blankets on top off the mattress and that helped.
Review 58:friendly and helpful staff.. The location was amazing. Everything was within walking distance. shop on 1st floor. Room awesome wirh open planned kitchen - lounge. - Dining. Wonderful sea views. Balcony wirh table and chairs. Room nice and dark so wasn't woken by sunlight in morning. Fresh towels each day. spa. I had the most amazing facial and massage. Great value for money in
Review 59:That wifi was only at the seating/bar area but we still anjoyed it well there
Review 60:Staff was very helpful and friendly, spacious and confort rooms, very equipped kitchen, we will be there again for sure.
Review 61:-
Review 62:The hotel is on the beach. The staff is absolutely friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and large. Our room was 40 m 2. There was a bathroom, a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen. The hotel's restaurant serves delicious and cheap food. The bus stops in front of the hotel. Wifi is only in the lobby, but it works well. This hotel is perfect. A szálloda közvetlenül a tengerparton van. A személyzet abszolút barátságos és segítőkész. A szobák nagyok, kényelmesek és tiszták. A mi szobánk 40 m2 volt, volt benne nappali, háló, fürdőszoba és konyha teljesen felszerelve. A szálloda étterme finom és olcsó ételeket kínál. A busz a szálloda mellett áll meg, minden könnyen elérhető. A wifi csak a hallban működik, de jól. Ez a hotel tökéletes választás.
Review 63:The only thing I don't like, are the beds, wish they would invest in New comfy beds, as back kills us when we stay
Review 64:I love to go back to this resort when ever we come back to malta. Friendly staff, rooms have everything you need and pool area is great, price is good, I wouldn't stay at any other hotel
Review 65:- rooms on first floor was really nosiy because of the restaurant below - the lower floor rooms need recovery
Review 66:- large accomodation - clean, sunny rooms with balcony - very flexible crew - great location in Buġibba, bus service is good - great half board service - very good price / service ratio - great pool services
Review 67:Time to upgrade linen , towels and a few basic items in the kitchen. Pool complex ran out of towels? Lack of free wifi in the rooms.
Review 68:Friendly, helpful , accommodating staff. Good location.
Review 69:Paid for a sea view room, but had to wait for 3 nights out of seven in a street room before getting the sea view room. Although 5 people were staying, had to request bedding for sofa bed and only 4 sets of towels were provided. Kitchen equipment not adequate for self catering. No information pack or TV remote control provided in apartment.
Review 70:Good location and swimming pool. Public transport is cheap and easy to access. Many local shops in the area, also a mini market in the hotel. Hotel has a good restaurant and bar area with free Wi-Fi.Weather during our stay was very good.
Review 71:I would have liked to have WiFi provided in room by facility. I would like to have had a shower that I could walk into instead of climbing over the tub wall and worrying about falling out because of the concave tub bottom.
Review 72:The balcony and the furniture were enjoyable along with the view of the bay. The little market downstairs was satisfactory in providing necessities and the people running it were knowledgeable and helpful.
Review 73:The bathroom could need a bit of renovation. It sometimes smelled a bit in the bathroom. The air conditions are loud and can't be adjusted.
Review 74:Nice ocean view and size of the apartment. Pool area is lovely.
Review 75:- if you are young, definitely choose different location on Malta, - do not take room next to elevator - the sound in the room is horrible, - do not take the street view room as the hotel on the other side of the street has karaoke and live singing performances every second day, it sounds like the Eurovision song contest is just in your closet, - rooms are being cleaned once in 3 days and the definition of 'cleaned' is vague - after 2 weeks of stay we still couldn't see the difference if the sheets wouldn't been changed, - hotel has shop with out-of-date food (it can be also delivered to the room), - reception staff is probably underpaid, because they do only what is necessary (they are not rude, not nice - don't care mode), - you need to leave room till 10am, - 5 EUR breakfast buffet available in the hotel restaurant - not worth a penny, - definitely no Internet in the rooms provided by hotel (even if you want to pay for it). You can use public provider called ozone, - fee for safe (?!) - 2 EUR per day, - very 90s TV - 10" - with the selection of 8 (eight) channels.
Review 76:+ good location, if you are 50+ + food delivery from shop in the hotel (see minus), + gym (very 80-90's, but free), + seaside, + indoor and outdoor pool, + next to Chaplin's bar (cool place! with nice and fresh food), + good pool restaurant with ridiculously big portions of everything (nice!)
Review 77:The locale is far from a decent beach or night life, there is no WiFi in the rooms, breakfast wasn't included with the stay, and the resort seems geared more towards the elderly
Review 78:The staff were pleasant and courteous; the amenities okay; and the cleanliness of the common areas were very good. The balcony was much enjoyed
Review 79:Sea view room was not what we hoped for, palm tree and neighbouring buildings blocked our view.Room was very dark with no natural lighting.Pool bar food and drinks were appalling for the price, definitely not 4 star standard. Photos and videos of pool area must have been taken a few years back as the waterfall at the back of the pool area was not in use and loungers can do with a cleaning.
Review 80:Room was very spacious. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Maid service was excellent. Restaurant was very nice to eat in.
Review 81:Too small balcony and not great view. Half on wall half on sea bay/ Smell from kitchens restaurants.
Review 82:Spacious apartment fully facilitated kitchen. Very clean and quiet. Mini market in hotel helps a lot when arrived saturday evening Service room always friendly on every request Center location Great spa and swimming area. Had 2 messages and one for sore back - brilliant therapist. Also got discount with vouchers from hotel. transfer form aiport to hotel and back avaiable even with baby seat in resonable prices. Helpful drivers helped with bags
Review 83:Air conditioning automatically switches off at 10am until 3pm - not what you would expect for the rate you are expected to pay. Kitchen facilities very poor - have to request a microwave (very old one). Rooms facing east or west are unbearably hot with no a/c between 10 and 3.
Review 84:Staff were very helpful and tried their best. View from sea view room on the 6th floor. Only accept to stay on floors 4,5 or 6.
Review 85:Sofa bed in lounge had a mattress that was torn and so thin unable tosleep on it first night. Told the receptionist Charmaine who was veryhelpful and it was replaced the next day with a normal double mattresswhich was comfortable but we had to keep sofa bed out as unable to folddown. Tv was old type but after asking reception we were given a flatscreen tv which was good but not many English channels.We used Chaplinsbar next door for reasonable priced lunches/snacks Good cafe lattesand friendly service
Review 86:This aparthotel was plenty big enough for 5 of us, having two bedroomsand two bathrooms. Cleaning of apartments done every 3 days but towelschanged every day and they were nice fluffy white towels Access to thepool area was excellent with gym indoor pool jacuzzi and small beachtowels for a 5 euro refundable deposit Great access to sea (rocky notsandy) good for snorkelling Watersport area for boat hire jet skis etc
Review 87:We booked the room about one month in advance and they weren't able to as the same room for four nights. On the bright side we didn't have to wait for the next room to be ready. They didn't even say goodbye…
Review 88:The view
Review 89:We (2 adults with our 13 year old daughter) intended to stay for 6 days in this resort. However at our arrival we were told that we are overbooked and we would get transferred (by taxi) to a nearby hotel to stay there for 3 nights, and for the remaining 3 we would have to move back to Sunny Coast. The lady at the reception desk (Mrs. Lillian Cutajar) didn't seem to have any need to express any apology, just saying 'such things just happen'.We got a reasonable room at the other hotel, but without the promised 'sea view'. The staff there was extremely nice and helpful, in contrast to the first one.3 days later we had to leave that apartment at 10 AM and we came back, as agreed, to the Sunny Coast Resort. The lady at the reception desk didn't seem to remember our case at all, and eventually she agreed that we come back later at the afternoon, when our room is ready. Luckily we were allowed to leave our luggage at the lobby (actually without any surveillance – accessible for everyone). Practically we were homeless for the most of this day, although we had paid for it! After our return at the evening the same lady at the reception desk still didn't remember our case, she could not find our booking papers (left there at the morning) and behaved in a very impolite manner – she obviously hated her job (there is a solution to that). Before even letting us to see our apartment she rudely required that we pay beforehand for the stay. I was eventually allowed to see the rooms under the guard of some other lady, before I paid.The apartment was good enough to stay for the next 3 days, but of the sea view was only a remote horizon to see over the roof of some penthouse. We were instructed by phone how to unfold the couch for our daughter (we had to do it ourselves, no-one would come). The airco was inefficient and noisy. The Wi-Fi was available only at the lobby, and then curiously limited to 1 hour and only with special login tickets.
Review 90:Swimming pool
Review 91:Booked 1 appartement/2 rooms. And They gave 2 appartements, Dirty rooms, change the bed everything 3 days
Review 92:Very nice reception team, Nice geographic situation, nice swimmingpool
Review 93:balcony on room was shakey and not tall enough to feel safe bed squeaked everytime you moved so woke up second bedroom opens to balcony and had no curtains bathroom was poor with stains al;l over toilet seat and felt v dirty
Review 94:great reception and downstairs with staff great pool good
Review 95:The 2 bedroom reserved was not available at check-in with no reason given. We recieved a one bedroom and then they were not going to adjust the cost per night. Ultimately we left the resort 3 days early
Review 96:The location isn't great, it's 20 minutes walk into town. The decor is extremely old, the towels smell like vinegar and overall there's a 'cheap' feeling to the hotel that isn't reflective of it's fairly expensive price. The restaurant downstairs is average (although the one next door is OK) and the beach out the front is NOTHING like the pictures suggest. Yes, there's a big pool area but the nice beaches are all in surrounding areas. Much better to stay in Bugiba square or in the surrounding towns of Sliema.
Review 97:The staff were incredible and friendly
Review 98:A/c wasn't cool enough in all that heat...bedrooms were boiling hot!! Staff said they didn't have time to do us the beds, so they just left us the clean towels and emptied the bins... poor shower - if you don't want to wet your hair, you can't shower properly as shower's head is fixed.
