A place to stay in St. Paul's Bay
The San Anton Hotel is a 3-star property in St. Paul's Bay, Malta, rated 3.5/5 by guests. It runs a mix of standard hotel rooms and self-contained apartments, so it suits both short stays and longer visits where you want your own space. The outdoor swimming pool is the social centre of the property, with a pool bar, sun deck, loungers, and beach umbrellas. There is also an on-site restaurant, a bar, and parking nearby. Room options range from compact doubles to a two-bedroom apartment that sleeps four.
Who this stay suits
A no-frills, functional hotel with a seasonal outdoor pool, on-site dining, and apartment-style options that give families or small groups more space than a standard room.
Best for
- Families wanting extra space
- Budget-conscious travellers in St. Paul's Bay
- Groups needing multiple beds
- Guests wanting a pool without a resort price
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting higher-end finishes
- Those wanting a pool open year-round
- Solo visitors seeking a lively social scene
The outdoor pool and sun deck
The seasonal outdoor pool has a shallow end, making it workable for younger children. Around it: a sun deck, beach chairs, umbrellas, and a pool bar so you can order a drink without leaving your lounger. The garden adds some green space alongside.
Apartment options for more space
The San Anton goes beyond standard hotel rooms with three apartment categories. The Two-Room Apartment has a full bed in one room and two twin beds in another — practical for families who need separate sleeping areas without booking two rooms.
On-site restaurant and bar
The restaurant handles special diet meals on request and can prepare packed lunches. The bar and a poolside snack bar mean you are not dependent on going out for every meal, which matters when you are based a little outside the tourist core.
Room variety and balconies
Several room types include a private balcony — the Triple Room, the Deluxe Double, the Quadruple Room, and the Triple Room with Balcony all have one. The 32 m² Quadruple Room is the largest of the hotel room categories and sleeps four in twin beds.
