Villaġġ Tal-Fanal — Attraction in Għasri

On first arriving, we were absolutely smitten. Cottages were dated but clean and charming in a rustic way. We were staying for a week . The pool and surrounding complex was beautiful. Unfortunately on our 5th night we were horrified to discover an enormous cockroach, scurrying around the living and kitchen area my partner trapped the cockroach under a glass. As it was late Saturday night there was nothing we could do but wait till Monday when the onsite office would be open , it was very unsettling and we didn't sleep well that night. The following evening we went out for dinner and upon returning were greeted with another very large cockroach. I didn't want to stay after that. When the office opened on Monday we let them know about the cockroaches and said we didn't feel comfortable staying, They sent the caretaker who sprayed some repellent, didn't find where they were coming from and even suggested that having the kitchen window open would be their point of entry , which is nonsense as the window had only been opened that morning. We were refunded €40 of the €52 we paid for the night we didn't use, as we left after 2pm, and the lady in complex management said they wouldn't be able to rent it out for that day, which is a little concerning in itself as you would think they would be sorting out the infestation before renting it out again. No apologies or even trying to offer any compensation for spending two evenings with two very large cockroaches. It's sad because it had so much promise. We will not be returning because I wouldn't pay money to share accommodation with...

First off, this is not a 3 star hotel. It is an apartment complex, where you can rent a fully functioning apartment for your stay. There is no restaurant, no room service, no reception, just a booth that is serviced during the day where you can get more sheets and towels (although he only had two towels when I asked for four).

The compound is lovely with a smart and beautiful layout providing guests with seclusion while offering a great pool area. It is quiet during the evenings and they have installed a weird coin operated AC.

The apartments are clean and inviting, but maintenence is needed. The bathrooms are not great. Toilets barely work and there are many wears, tears and stains. Fridge was also semi functional. One of the sheets on our bed had a big stain. Fans and lamps are dirty and barely holding their own.

A shame, because the place has a lot of potential, but after spending a few days I was a bit tired of things barely working. Hope they manage to give the place a good...
