Absolutely incredible hospitality from the staff during our stay. We were greeted at check in with cookies and offered an extra! The room was lovely, clean, comfortable, and had everything you need to feel at home. We were on a Christmas couples' getaway but also had some work to do, and the wifi connection in the room and common areas were strong enough for us to take work calls. The breakfast buffet had an amazing spread, they did eggs in half a dozen different ways and had sweet and savoury, hot and continental, and even traditional Maltese options - among all our travels this year, this was the best hotel breakfast we experienced. The gym was visible to pedestrians outside the hotel so it felt a bit strange doing our workouts so visibly. The hotel had both an outdoor and indoor pool, which we used, as well as a steam room. The location is super convenient, there is a bus stop into Valletta right around the corner, a supermarket a street up, several good restaurants around and inside the hotel too, and it is not too far from Cafe Del Mar.
Pebbles Resort has a lot of positives but also some areas for improvement.
Location:
The location is excellent. It’s situated near a bus stop where you can catch buses to almost every route in Malta. Buses are frequent and cost only €2 for a two-hour ride. The square is a short six-minute walk, offering plenty of food options. Beaches are just a quick bus ride away, and ferries are also easily accessible.
Hotel Facilities:
The hotel has two pools: an outdoor one and a warm indoor pool. The indoor pool is very comfortable, but the hot tub was disappointing—colder than the pool and with jets that only work for 30 seconds at a time, requiring constant button-pressing. The towels provided for pool use are old and could use an upgrade. The gym is small and often busy, so timing is key if you want to work out.
Food:
The food was surprisingly fresh and delicious. Unlike many hotel buffets, the staff at Pebbles Resort rotates trays frequently, ensuring the food is both fresh and appealing. However, the buffet and à la carte menus are separate, which was disappointing. I couldn’t try items like cheesecake or creamed chicken from the buffet during à la carte dining.
Rooms:
The room itself was nice, with some standout features like the television built into the mirror. The balcony was a good size, but my stay was marred by a neighbor plucking cigarette ashes over their balcony instead of using the ashtray provided. Additionally, the refrigerator never got cold, which was inconvenient as there are no ice buckets in the rooms, forcing me to go to the bar for ice.
Service:
Service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived, our room wasn’t ready. Despite being the only ones waiting, the staff couldn’t expedite the process, leaving my daughter to fall asleep on the lobby couch—a completely embarrassing experience. The hotel also lacks luggage carts and staff to assist with heavy luggage, which is especially frustrating when traveling with kids and a lot of bags.
Conclusion:
While Pebbles Resort offers a fantastic location, good food, and decent facilities, it falls short in service and attention to detail. Small improvements, like better towels, functional hot tubs, luggage assistance, and quicker room readiness, could elevate the experience significantly.
Rating: 3.5/5
Endroit bien situé pour découvrir Malte.
Il y’a tout ce qu’il faut pour se détendre.
L’accueil est très aimable avec la clientèle.
Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Borabora, je recommande fortement cet hôtel 🤩

Evaluation très mitigée. L'hôtel est bien et très bien placé, cependant:
- le personnel n'est pas souvent au rendez-vous. On signale à Maria à l'accueil que notre mini-bar ne refroidit pas. Réponse, un mini-bar ne refroidit pas. On avait bien sûr deux chambres et dans l'autre, il était complètement froid voire même trop. En bougeant la prise électrique, ça fonctionnait. On l'a signalé mais personne n'est jamais venu.
- les cartes de la chambre qui n'ont pas fonctionné trois fois. A chaque fois qu'on passe, on nous dit que ça arrive et à la troisième fois, on nous dit que c'est parce que la taxe de séjour n'est pas payé. Ironie du sort, on est passé deux fois à l'accueil pour le faire mais on nous a dit plus tard.
- un bruit incroyable dans l'hôtel. L'hôtel reçoit des groupes de jeunes adolescents et ils sont infernales, on ne pouvait pas vraiment dormir avant 1 à 2 heures du matin.
- si vous voulez joindre la réception, priez pour que votre chambre soit avec les nouvelles installations. Ma fille a bénéficié d'une nouvelle chambre et nous a priori d'une moins nouvelle. Le téléphone ne fonctionnait pas et malgré un signalement à la réception, rien n'a été fait.
Sinon l'hôtel est bien, confortable, la piscine intérieure avec jacuzzi très bien et le service des restaurants sont excellents. On a hésité avec le Seaview et on regrette finalement.
Malgré les bons points de l'hôtel, on n'y reviendra plus, c'est certain.

ゲゲストOverrated hotel in simple words. The staff is great at the hotel and very helpful (except the lady on tour desk who was very rude) but the hotel needs an upgrade throughout. Breakfast was good as you would expect
.
The rooms were large (side sea view room), but the bathroom was very odd with no shower screen meaning you flood the entire bathroom when taking a shower. In this hotel, the temp control of the room can only blow hot air or cold air at any time meaning the guest could not climate control in the room which was bizarre. It was warm during the day but the system was set to hit air for nights to the airport would not work to cool the room ;(. We were left with the fans to help ourselves.
The Sauna and steam room never reached appropriate temperature in the 3 days while we where there. There were other cheaper options with similar facilities but I booked this hotel due to rating and left very disappointed.
Parking is small and got full in off peak season in December. Not sure how they manage in summer.
The lady on tours desks only wanted to sell anything we asked but not guiding us - it was 25 kmph winds and she said you should go for the blue lagoon trip even though other local agents said not to go as it will be bad experience. When we asked about the bus to Valletta, she insisted on open top bus even though I told her we just want to explore Valletta for entire day. I would have expected hotel staff to be guiding guest with their local knowledge rather than forcefully selling something.
