Great stay in this hotel, the view from the pool at the 7th floor is beautiful and cocktails are a must over there. Bus stop in front of the hotel and guest services are also very good. Clean rooms and friendly staff. Loved the pizza.

Nice enough but definitely more geared towards package holiday guests. Shame the outdoor pools are not heated and hot tubs not working - that was annoying when it is advertised as part of the hotel amenities. Outdoor pools and sauna close at 8.00pm which is annoying. Should be later to accommodate guests post-dinner

Fantastic stay in Malta!
This place was beautiful. We stayed at 2 different hotels in Malta & this was our favorite. The Italian restaurant downstairs is fantastic & the included breakfast was great. Everything in the hotel is very well kept & clean & working order. The pools were beautiful, the showers had hot water & plenty of pressure. Only 2 very minor things I can say could have improved our stay. I'd switch is that the mattress that was very very firm, with one a little softer, but that is just a preference. Also, there is a shuttle from the beach, but it cost more than an Uber. It would be a nice touch if they just included that in the stay.

I had an amazing stay at Solana. The area was perfect for me as I enjoy quiet, peaceful, relaxing vacations (if you’re looking to party stay in St Julian’s). The outdoor pools are amazing, I couldn’t believe how gorgeous it was. My only criticism is that the male staff (middle aged European man) at Prickly Pear was very rude to me for no reason. The first day I was there, I went up to the pool & I saw others being brought food & drinks to their sunbed. When the server was done bringing their items, I asked him how to order; his response was ‘there’s supposed to be a QR code on your umbrella but there’s not.’ And he just walked away. I decided to use my neighbors QR code since my umbrella didn’t have one, and when he brought me my food he gave me attitude about it. The next day when I ordered food (I had a QR code at my sunbed this time) he was weirdly aggressive & rude to me again. I just got strange energy from him, he wasn’t kind and helpful like all of the other staff there. This deterred me from even ordering food while at the pool because I didn’t want to see him. Otherwise I had an extremely pleasant stay, & I would stay there again.

The only thing we didn't like was when we asked the front desk to order us a taxi and they ordered thru a company that they use a a shuttle. Cost 3 times the amount...ridiculous and irritating. Other than that, property and service was excellent

Loved our stay at the solana hotel. Just a few minutes walk to beaches and swimming spots. You have to walk down a hill to access these but there are buses running regularly which we made use of when returning back to the hotel. Loads of places to eat and drink as soon as you exit the hotel. We used the spa at the solana. Had a hot stone massage and a face massage. Wow. What an amazing experience. Parking available for hotel guests at a small charge daily. All in all a great hotel. We had such a relaxing time and the staff were all so helpful and great at what they do. Would definitely recommend and will definitely stay there again.
