The three-pearl Comino Hotel is an aging resort with private beaches, two outdoor pools, and buffet restaurants typical of a mid-range all-inclusive. It's the only hotel on the island of Comino north of Malta and its exclusivity is its main advantage. However, it's accessible only by boat, which makes it an inconvenient choice for those hoping to explore the mainland, a 30-minute water taxi ride away. The 95 guest rooms and bungalows have air-conditioning and private balconies or terraces, but they're dated and not all face the sea. Guests who want to walk to dining and attractions should compare with the Luna Holiday Complex overlooking Mellieha Bay on the main island.
