Hotel Ta 'Cenc and Spa

Joschua Kubik

Our stay at Hotel Ta’ Cenc was mixed. The room itself had issues – we found ants inside, the balcony was dirty with an old cigarette, and the air conditioning could only cool to 22°C, resetting automatically. Once, we even had no hot water for about two hours. Housekeeping did a good job though: the bed was clean and well prepared, and we received fresh water, coffee, tea, and toiletries every day. Service by the pool was disappointing. Even when I waved, nobody came over to take an order. In contrast, the spa staff were excellent – especially the bald man in the white polo. He was by far the most helpful person in the whole hotel, even bringing me silicone gloves for my injured hand so I could use the pool. He always checked if we needed towels or anything else, which really stood out. The spa area itself was beautiful, usually quiet, and the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi were the highlights. Massages, however, are far too expensive. Food was very good – dinner was tasty with a fair price for a 3-course menu, and breakfast was excellent, even with sparkling wine included. Overall: great spa and food, but service and room conditions need serious improvement.

My husband and I had a very relaxing 2 week holiday here in October. This is a real gem of a hotel. The staff place great emphasis on taking care of you. From the wonderful reception staff to the outstanding restaurant service staff and chefs, you are made to feel relaxed and special and given proper 5 star treatment. I honestly didn't want to leave. The spa is blissful and the staff are fantastic. Well done Ta Cenc for giving us a holiday we will not forget and we will return. We also loved your beautiful gardens and the well thought out bungalow arrangements. It's been a joy.

I stayed one night here which isn't really enough to take in everything they have to offer on the property, the room was very peaceful and quiet, probably one of the most quiet stays during my three week trip to Malta and Gozo which I really appreciated. The room was well equipped and clean, and layed out nicely... not too cramped. The gardens at this hotel are very nice (visiting in October), wonderful variety of plants, walking the grounds itself is a treat. The views of the channel from the terrace restaurant and heated pool area are also very nice. I think overall this is a nice hotel with friendly staff. I didn't make it to the Spa, but overall very restorative vibe.

We had a wonderful stay! The spa was excellent, and the staff throughout the hotel were warm and welcoming. At the restaurant, the team was fantastic—especially Chef Patty, who went above and beyond to help warm up our baby’s food whenever we needed. It made our experience so much easier as a family. Overall, it’s a lovely, child-friendly hotel and a perfect spot for a relaxing family retreat

Bit dated and bathroom could do with a refresh but a nice hotel and the staff were great. Selection of 3 pools, the view from the bar is stunning and nearby sunset spot beautiful. Tennis court too! And breakfast is great too
