The property is located little bit outside the town but the nearby area here is also very nice. This property offers room at very nice location and with a spectacular view. Special mention to the breakfast offered in the morning which was fresh and as per the choice. We really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this place.
An absolutely beautiful hotel, rooms and all the hotel spotless. The staff were so polite and helpful always with a smile and couldn’t do enough for you. We ate at both the pub and restaurant and both were superb and reasonably priced. Both pools were lovely and relaxing. It may be a bit far out but lovely and relaxing and we used the buses or bolt to get around. Would highly recommend.

Great views from waterside rooms
We had a waterside room and could be in the sea with seconds of leaving the room.
The enterance is just off a busy mainroad, with nightlife only a 10 mins taxi ride away.
Breakfast was fresh, with a good selection.
Service was mainly very good, there were one, or two minor issues at a £250 per night we would have expect a near to perfect service, however, we would definitely go back.
On-the-roof pool area was very good, the views from most areas of the hotel were truly stunning.
Damare Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel providing excellent customer service. I had a wonderful experience there. The breakfast was delicious, and the front desk representatives, particularly Christian and Mickey, were exceptionally kind. I would certainly stay there again in the future. Oh, and I must also mention the stunning indoor pool; it was breathtaking.
Outstanding hotel with very welcoming staff ! I had a very positive experience and enjoyed all the amenities offered the pool, spa and restaurant 10/10 would recommend.
I would definitely stay here again 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Fantastic hotel, clean, and the staff were pleasant and polite. Bar staff made you feel at home. Good quality food in the restaurant in pleasant surroundings. Best hotel in St Paul’s Bay by miles.
This hotel is lovely with luxury facilities however the area doesn’t have many things to do but a 30 min Uber can take you to any city - my only recommendation for this hotel is to add 2/3 table tennis tables for people to play
Had the most amazing stay at this hotel. The hotel is beyond beautiful and my expectations. The staffs were so welcoming and friendly. They always came through and assisted to my needs and great for bookings excursions/activities/dinners very explanative.
The staff were excellent and the room was very clean. There were some ants around the bed and that worried me a little but everything else was very clean.
