The mid-range Saint Patrick's Hotel is a dated property with an excellent location on Xlendi Bay's waterfront. The 62 rooms are spacious and most have outdoor spaces overlooking Gozo island's valley or beautiful sea. However, they have old-fashioned furnishings and worn bed linens and towels, and some overlook an internal courtyard. Though on a lively promenade, the setting is tranquil and removed from the buzz of Malta's main island. A rooftop terrace with a plunge pool, hot tub, and panoramic vistas is a standout, and all rates include free breakfast buffets with hot items. The all-day restaurant serves fresh seafood and has a seafront terrace. Note that in-room Wi-Fi costs extra. Travelers willing to pay a bit more may prefer the upscale Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, which has multiple pools, contemporary rooms, and a spa, but is farther from the coast.

The 28-room San Andrea Hotel is a pleasant value property situated along the Xlendi Bay promenade and a one-minute walk from St. Andrew's Divers Cove. Owners of this family-run hotel receive praise, and views of the sea from a charming top-floor terrace are excellent. Comfy rooms are dated and simple, featuring air-conditioning, balconies, and shower/tub combos. Past guests largely agree it's worth upgrading to a room with sea views. On-site amenities are limited to a bay-view restaurant that serves free breakfasts and free Wi-Fi. On the downside, nearby construction has caused noise complaints during the day and mini-fridges must be requested and require a fee. Travelers wanting a pool should consider Saint Patrick's Hotel.
