"Maintenance was taking place, told they would stop but didn't, spoken to to in a condescending manner by staff and manager."

"Very well kept complex. Good value for money. We visited in January so very relaxed atmosphere around."

"The complex is well laid out around the pool, and we had a two-bedroomed apartment which we shared with friends. It was spacious and clean, but basic. The first day or two were great, quiet and peaceful. However, this is very much a family place, not so great for couples without kids as it gets noisy and people disregard the pool rules. Our peace was shattered by day 3. It's fine if you've got kids and want to be by the pool morning till night and never venture out. The beds weren't very comfortable and the pillows were lumpy and old. The kitchen had a large fridge/freezer and gas hob, oven, microwave, toaster and kettle. A cupboard contained a range of pots and pans and a drawer of cutlery. That was about it, which didn't bother us as we cooked nothing, but if you were planning on cooking in every night, it would be a struggle. No kitchen roll, hand soap or even salt and pepper were provided in the kitchen. There was one apartment clean and linen change during our 10 night stay - not great. All electric sockets are 3-pin, same as the UK, so no need for adaptors, but there are no USB sockets. There was nowhere within walking distance that you could go for lunch or dinner and the Lighthouse supermarket was a 15 minute walk away. In the 30° heat carrying bags of shopping, that's not an easy stroll! We had a car, and I'd say it's essential to hire a car to get out and about everywhere. There are Bolt taxis but we didn't use them so can't comment. Buses to Ghasri seemed non-existent, at least I never saw one, but there were plenty in Victoria. Gozo itself is a lovely island, plenty to see and experience and everywhere is within a 5km drive as the island is small. The Citadel, Marsalforn, the Xwejni salt pans are all worth visiting. Victoria is a busy city, restaurants, shops, bars, and parking in the multi-storey is free all day. In fact, there are no parking charges anywhere on the island, and driving is on the left (same as the UK), fuel is cheap. Eating out was very reasonable and I'd recommend Qbajjar in Marsalforn. Lovely restaurant, excellent food and service, overlooking the sea. They have a car park, but it's easy to park on the roads too (at least in September, it might be different in the height of summer). Overall, we had a lovely holiday and would return to Gozo, but not to this accommodation."
