The staff were friendly and welcoming, making our stay truly wonderful. We had an amazing time and would definitely choose to stay here again when we visit Malta. Thank you for the lovely memories! ##### a Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gena Jo 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great! My only feedback was getting there if you have a car. It was challenging to find parking, however once you did it would have been nice to have someone meet you at the gate and transport your luggage. In walled cities like Rhodes Greece they meet you with a golf cart. That’s my only suggestion. ##### Gena Jo Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Camargo 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had an excellent experience at the Xara Palace!

We were offered an upgrade (paid for) the the Presidential Suite on arrival - it was 100% worth it. The space was fabulous, wonderful bathroom and lounge area. The hotel has a private, secluded feel. The pool (5mins drive) is extremely relaxing, wonderful service from Noor and Izor who drove us there each day. Would recommend a drink on the terrace if possible, the champagne trolley is fantastic. We ate in the Trattoria (definitely recommend) and explore local restaurants in Rabat too. Will definitely be back. ##### Orla Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### erin 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful.
