We had the best stay at Inalia Harbour House when visiting family in Malta. The service level was top notch from the moment we walked into the hotel and throughout our entire stay. I love a boutique hotel experience and Inalia hit all of the marks for us. Every time we encountered hotel staff they knew us on a last name basis (even if we hadn't met them yet!) Seriously 5-star quality. The views from our room onto the harbour were beautiful, as well! The amenities in this hotel were incredible! The food was definitely the best we had in Vallarta, hands down! The breakfast on the rooftop was not only great in terms of selection, but quality and presentation as well. And the 'ION' restaurant in the evenings - WOW! Michelin star for a reason!! Some of the best food we've ever eaten in the world. Highly, highly recommend booking a reservation while there and don't overlook adding on the wine pairing option with your dinner - they have put in a great deal of refinement into choosing the best wines (my husband went online and ordered nearly all the wines had at dinner for us to enjoy at home.) We didn't have a chance to try out their spa but it looked serene - and the indoor pool looked like something out of a movie! We will definitely have to check it out the next time we're there. The rooms were the perfect size for us since we didn't plan to stay in them all day because we were out and about, but definitely on the smaller side - although I think that's what you'll find in most of Europe. That being said, the rooms were brand new, clean, and beautifully designed! The location for the hotel was also hard to beat - you're right in the center of it all, but you also are situated right on the water so it's quiet and peaceful at night. The best of both worlds! I can't recommend this hotel enough. I usually don't leave reviews for hotels but the staff here went above and beyond, were so friendly and welcoming, the amenities were 5 stars, and the design was breathtaking. We will definitely be staying here on all of our future trips to Malta.
We started our trip in Malta with this beautiful hotel before jumping to another 5* hotel and was able to compare the obvious differences. Even though the room we booked was small (double bed studio, totally our fault for not reading the website), the view, service, and quality of the amenities made the entire stay still feel luxurious. It’s great to just roll out of bed and be able to sip either a good tea or an espresso by a gorgeous sea view. It’s also great to be able to take a super relaxing shower (very good soap) every night and stuff yourself with tons of chocolate before going to bed. Huge plus - our room is always stocked with water so we’re never paranoid about going thirsty in the summer heat. Thanks for a lovely stay! ❤️
