The hotel is fancy. Upon arrival I was greeted and given complimentary beverages between alcoholic and non-alcoholic (tasty cola made in Malta) and I had a sit in the large ornate lobby. My flight arrived early and my hotel check in was much later, so the reception staff kindly offered to store my bags and discussed all their facilities and services offered including the hotel restaurant’s various dining theme nights, spa and their upstairs pool bar. The reception directed me to their extremely helpful concierge who provided me an in-depth guide of the island, activities and they also booked my first guided boat tour. My room was massive and came with complimentary Imqaret, room service was great, the bed was very comfortable, and the balcony overlooked the beautiful ocean view. Below just a 2 minute walk from the hotel there’s a bakery “Bakery Shop” next to “Juniper and Malt” that makes a variety of delicious ftira sandwiches, also it’s next to a Lidl. I highly recommend this hotel to relax and explore as all the hotel staff were amazing and helpful and the location is so convenient. Thank you again to the AX the Palace staff, you were wonderful!
