Blu Bay Apartments

This place is awful. Do not book. It’s a very expensive youth hostel. Full of drunk late teens, smoking, making loads of noise. The room is awful, falling apart, front door lock doesn’t work properly. Handles missing on bedroom doors, curtains hanging off the rails, no hot water. It did not feel safe for our family. We were put in an apartment block 4 streets away from the main apartments with no 24 hour security or front desk. The pool is unsafe- no steps in and hand rail falling off. The pool photo on booking.com is of a local PAID pool- nothing to do with the apartment at Costs €30 per person! We booked 4 nights but checked out after one and demanded a refund.

1st day within the first hour was the first of many bad experiences, the guy who was allowing people was behind the reception desk while we were checking in, bear in mind we took off at 5am in cold britan, so i was in a jeans and jumper in 37° Malta weather and all I had in my carry on was a pair of shots and a 1 piece swimsuit, so i put both on to cool off and so I could go into the restaurant, and on the door is the same guy I saw earlier and he refused me entry because of my swimsuit, meanwhile a girl my same age walked in with a bikini top and shorts on and got let in, the only difference was our chest size, and looking into the restaurant over half of the people were in swimsuits and because your cases were in the holding room I couldn't access them and I didn't feel like digging though 4 cases of stuff to find something that this guy found appropriate and we still had hours until our room was ready and all he kept saying was it was policy even though there were so many other people in there with them, so basically I wasn't allowed in there, with quite a modest swimsuit compared to what the others were wearing

We were put in a room with broken air conditioning and told we could have a fan as compensation! After complaining we were given a room at their hotel which was lovely so all was well in the end but we felt we could have been palmed off!
