I've been twice to this hotel for a weekend break. My first experience was better than the second one!
The first time the room was nicely prepared and the service was excellent. We really had nothing to complain about.
When we called to book for the second time, they warned us that since they were 'tight' there was no way we could have a balcony. The room was dark and dull situated in the lowest corner almost at street level with no view whatsoever.
We wanted a double room and instead got two singles put closely next to each other. The TV remote control they gave us didn't work. We had to ask the reception to change it. The second remote they gave us was binded together with rubber bands!!
The bathroom left much to be desired. The shower did not work properly and the bath itself was full of stains and rust.
Moreover, they have six lifts but only two were operational! Sometimes it took us fifteen minutes to wait for a free lift - on other occasions we just used the stairs.
On the whole, if you book a room at this hotel during low season, it is good value for money. But I wouldn't suggest that you choose this accommodation if you're planning a holiday during high season.
The restaurants of this hotel deserve more than 3 ***. Il-Kaptan is one of the best, offering a variety of pizza and pasta dishes.
This hotel has an outdoor pool. The animation they provide for kids (and adults alike) is wonderful. They also have a large slide for the kids with a separate little pool.

Stayed for a week at the Maritim Antonine Hotel and Spa Malta in July 2007, would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone. We had a room overlooking the ground floor pool, the rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and we had fresh towels every day. Bedrooms, large with sat. tv. mini bar, tea/coffee making facilities, settee, chairs, coffee tables etc. The breakfast in the hotel was really good with lots of choice. Staff, polite, friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend the 'Arches' restaurant, across the road from the hotel, as they say ' I have eaten in London, New York, Paris and Rome' among many other places but their food was as good as any I have had on my travels, must dress, smart/casual, no shorts etc. if you only dine out once make this place a must. Was not too impressed with the pizza place attached to the hotel but others seemed to enjoy the food. Wouls stay at this hotel again, if visiting Malta.

We wanted a cheap 1 week break in Malta. Thus our expectations of our accomodation were not too high. Aparthotel San Anton managed to even go below this.
In no particular order:
> Reception Staff: rude, unhelpful, uncommunicative;
> Room: dirty, worn out:
> Cleaning Service: Didn't changes sheets, towels, clean room;
> Food: Adequate, but only just, very limited choice of food;
> Pool: over-chlorinated with cloudy water (cannot see your own feet when standing in water):
> Hotel Management: actually saw a duty manager hide from other irate customers;
> Bar staff - slow service.
All this added up to a break that was anything but relaxing. I would no receommend this hotel to my worse enemy.
Unique Qualities? Well it is not the charm of the place. The only thing that I can say in it's favour is that the cleaners kept the brass hand-rail outside the hotel clean and polished!
Every plant pot had a wealth of dog-ends and other rubbish in them. Canopies by the pool were all torn and/or broken. Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Triq Ir Ramel, Bugibba, Malta

Stayed for 3 days on a business trip and would recommend this for a holiday. The breakfact buffet was superb with any option available.
Excellently located hotel overlooking the Bay of St Gorg and only 5 mins walk to the nightlife Paceville and the restuarant area of St Julians. Facilities were superb with 3 out door swinmming pools and one indoor which is part of a spa are complete with sauna and jacquzzi.

Great Location is St Julians Bay. The hotel is situated at the end of the bay overlooking the whole bay. The rooms are large and bright with chic design and an open feel. I was made to feel very welcome and was looked after during my stay from beginning to end.
The hotel has a pool on the roof top which has great views of the Spinola Bay area. The only problem was the lounger area is not too well positioned to get the sun in the late afternoon however my visit was in October so may be better in summer when sun is higher!

Having seen reviews elsewhere about overcharging via credit card, we'd decided to pay cash & expected to pay about 45 LM surcharges (On top of already paying accommodation & booking fees). So when we arrived, it was shocking to be asked to pay 130LM. This was, from memory, 48LM utility fee, 42LM (6LM a day) maid service, 30LM for parking and 10LM deposit for using the TV.
The owner Joe also tried to pressure us into taking half board (we were self catering) for 30% off but he wouldn't say how much (he offered 50% off to another British couple but didn't give them a figure either). He also said that Visa give him a special exchange rate that was 30% better than usual, in order to try to get our card details. On checking out we got a handwritten receipt which was blank.
The hotel itself is set into the hillside. The lowest floor (-1) & extension are under construction, so the indoor pool, gym etc don't exist. The reception on floor 0 (below ground level at the rear) was awful - paper hanging off the walls, filthy carpet, & the whole floor smelt of damp (complete with stalactites on the ceilings).
Only a few rooms have views, due to other buildings being in the way. There is airconditioning in the bedroom which has to be left on 24/7 as you can't touch the controls. The sheets were ancient & too small for the bed so they'd ping off in the night. The bedroom and bathroom windows open out onto internal shafts which are good at carrying noise. Ours opened out by the rooftop restaurant so the evening cabaret made the rooms uninhabitable.
For nearly £10 a day the maid would make the bed, empty the bin, change the towels and spray air freshener. We had to complain to get any cleaning done so for the day after that, the surfaces were wiped.
I woldn't return to the Serena due to the worry over charges and level of service.
The hotel has a lovely aspect from the top floors and the sunroof is one of the only places to sunbathe in Xlendi. The rooftop pool is nice if chemically.
Xlendi itself is a fantasic, quiet resort. There is good swimming, lovely scenery and a good selection of local restaurants, including Il-Tmun, Il-Terrazzo and St Patrick hotel. The snorkelling and sightseeing tours offered by Ted's boat trips were great fun and good value for money.

Large 5 star hotel apparently.
Impressive lobby etc and room was fairly nice too, however...
The tiny roof top pool was overun by rowdy teenages.
The beach outside the hotel is tiny (and yes it really is small) but this was still far more pleasant than the hotel pool which overlooks the beach by 12 floors+
As for the service.. we had to wait an hour for the room when we arrived at 3:30pm, the minibar didnt open, room service never got our orders correct, the pay per view channels were more hassle than they were worth and the receptionists wernt exactly helpfull, though a word with the duty manager did resolve most issues.
In summary pleasant but dont be fooled by the 5 star rating.
Good views if you look out over Balutta Bay.
Nice size room.
Small pool.
Poor service. Theme: HotelComparison: about averageAddress: St Julians, Balutta BayDirections: St.Julians, Balutta Bay
