We had a really great time here! We were three adults and two early teenage boys staying at the end of October. The first thing to say is that the apartment is fabulously spacious - possibly the biggest in the hotel. The balcony is huge and had sun in the afternoon. There is construction nearby but, to be honest, it gave us something interesting to look at with a glass of wine in the late afternoon. In this part of Malta there is construction going on everywhere at the moment. The soundproofing of the balcony doors and windows is excellent and noise from the street wasn't an issue for us at all. It might cause you problems if the windows were left open. While staying here, you are treated by the hotel staff 100% as their guest. They will change towels in the room if you ask. Staff members are very courteous and helpful. The pool area on level 10 is very nice. You get towel tokens free of charge at check-in one for each guest. You can exchange these each time you use the outdoor pool, indoor pool or beach area. So you don't have to pack any beach towels for your trip. The beach area is really very nice with very comfy loungers. Also free of charge. There are plenty of staff to serve drinks.
Paceville itself is geared more for an adult crowd but as a family you can filter that out quite easily. There are lots of good restaurants and bars catering for every taste. Storie and Sapori (Italian) and Emperor of India were our favourites. You can walk to Sliema in 35 minutes and get the short ferry ride across to Valletta.
Shaun is a really good host and responds immediately to messages. Over the course of our stay we had reason to make contact with him a few times and he sorted things out for us in a very professional manner. Well done Shaun. Thanks again for helping us to have a great holiday.
