Having been to Malta before with my friends 4 years ago which I really enjoyed it. I decided to take my Mum and Dad. We stayed here for a week from the 25th March until the 1st of April on a half board basis. We booked with Mercury Direct having seen an advert in the Daily... more

Oct 2011, Disappointed guest

First of all, the four star part of the hotel is very shabby indeed, more like a two star and the five star part of the hotel is only four star at the very best!. The reception staff are ignorant and disinterested. The breakfasts are reasonably good and so are the evening... more

We've just returned from a week's stay in the Fortina on a half-board basis. I've seen a lot of people discuss this 4/5 star concept. Has anyone ever seen a 5 star hotel which has carpet stains in the main bar? It may be Maltese 5 star which doesn't say much. Anyhow we... more

My wife and I booked a week through Spa Travel advertised in a Marks & Spencer catalogue; we met in Malta 40 years ago while I was serving with the RAF on the Island. The week's all inclusive stay in the Fortina Spa Resort (5* opened in 2006) and included Club Class return... more

The Fortina Spa Hotel has a knack of talking itself up in its advertising to make you think you will be staying in one of the finest hotels you'll ever go to, yet it is far from what I expected of a 5* hotel. I certainly can't complain about the room itself (wellness... more

The hotel/resort is in the middle of a building site. We counted 7 cranes from the room and 20 in the area. The work is set to go on for years. We were woken up before 8am every day by drilling and banging. Would not recommend! Not restful. The hotel was also refurbishing... more

This place was awful. I have read a few reviews and was shocked to find that so many people had enjoyed the holiday experience at the so called '5* Fortina Hotel'. We booked this holiday as we enjoy the idea of all inclusive, meaning that what we've already spent on the... more

Wonderful hotel and holiday
To any of you out there that were put off like us from the bad reviews on this site! IGNORE THEM. Like someone else said - I think they may have been mixed up with another hotel, or they are just purely borne whingers! To be honest we were having very mixed feelings about our stay at the Fortina so I write now to put all your minds at rest. We were a party of 7 incl a 3 year old. We had deluxe rooms over looking the gardens, beautiful. Rooms were clean, nicely decorated, nice bathroom, stocked mini bar that was replenished. Plenty of... more
Absolute Indulgence in the Med
What a break, it was my wife's birthday and i felt inclined to give her a break with a differnece. We had fabulous Tower rooms interconnecting as we took our two children but still had some space. The restaurants were too nice, the beauty treatments my wife had made her feel a million dollars. I was more than happy with the massages. There were festas going on also but the pinacle for my daughter was a trip organised to swim with the Dolphins! Dolphins in the med can you believe it. I couldnt resist the urge to have a go too..... more
my sanctuary
On the 6th. of June I returned from my seventh delightful escape to the Fortina Spa. As ever, the staff, in the restaurants, spa, gym - in fact, everywhere - were friendly, couteous and unfailingly helpful. The Spa, which has an unbelievable range of treatments, most of which I've sampled, left me totally pampered, rejuvenated and relaxed. The spa room with hot-tub on the balcony (!) was so luxurious that I could not recommend it enough, and definitely not to be missed. It should come as no surprise that I have already... more
Mass Hypnosis
If you want to hoilday on a building site, go to the Fortina Spa, if you want to pay 4/5 star prices but stay in a 3 star hotel go to the Fortina Spa, if you want to be served by at best indifferent staff and at worst surly staff go to the fortina spa. There is no doubt the spa roooms are exceptional as are the pool rooms, by and large the food is excellent especially the Japanese restaurant, but this is not a relaxing break with internal building work underway and external work with heavy plant and equipmwnt starting up at 7.00am. The... more
Don't waste your money
I couldn't agree anymore with some of the letters other people have sent. We went to the Fortina for our 3rd wedding anniversary, booked through Mercury Direct. The whole experience was a huge disappointment and disaster. It took us three hours to get into our room, we had paid extra for a deluxe jacuzzi suite for the occasion, the first two rooms they offered us were just tiny standard rooms. In all the years I’ve been travelling I never had to complain to get what I had already paid for! The girls at reception although they were... more
Fantastic
We had a great time.Service not quite as good as last time we were there about 4/5 years ago. But still very good. Food excelent and good veriety Joan & Jim Jefferson.Essex
Fab Fortina
We have just returned from the Fortina Hotel and Spa. I wasn't actually expecting very much, but was delighted with the standard of accommodation and generally excellent level of service. The food in all the restaurants ranges from good (buffet) to excellent (chinese and indian). You have to book for each restaurant (apart from the buffet) for evening meals but this did mean you would not be disappointed when you turned up. The only down side I could think of was the poor service in the indian restaurant. The staff (with one... more
A Great Experience
Every student needs a break, to get away from the work and stress. And even though student life means struggling with finances, parents always come in handy when you want to a plan a luxurious trip! And luxury we did get. We spent a week at the Fortina Spa Hotel in Malta and we had the best time of the year! The whole group would start off the day at the gym and the spa. It was always a good laugh at how we were simply pampering ourselves. Every evening we experimented with different restaurants, which suited our international group. The... more
Perfect relaxation
I have been to the Fortina Spa resort on 2 occassions and it just keeps on getting better! On my last trip I travelled with a group of friends (male & female) and there is indeed something for everyone. We stayed on an all inclusive basis. We stayed in the tower - our rooms were of a good size and the bathrooms are great. Very clean and comfortable. I indulged in a couple of treatments in the spa and they were worth every penny - I had a facial and my skin remained glowing for a week. Definately one of the best I have had.<br... more
Fantastic Fortina!
Having read some of the reviews I feel compelled to write and pass on my own experience of the Fortina Spa. I am shocked to hear about any negative reviews as my recent stay in April was a truly wonderful holiday. The atmosphere was relaxing, the accommodation was exceptional and the standards of Customer Service were outstanding: everything I could have wished for in a luxuy Spa resort. To be more specific, the rooms were clean and tidy and superbly furnished. As I had special requirements, (i.e. due to my handicaped wife needing... more
