Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ax Sunny Coast Resort & Spa is frequently praised for its excellent location, particularly its proximity to the sea and the walking area leading to the newer part of St Paul's Bay. Guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, many featuring lovely sea views and balconies, as well as well-equipped kitchens. While some guests have noted that the outdoor pool can be quite cold, the convenience of having a bus stop just 20 meters away and the availability of supermarkets and restaurants within walking distance are definite advantages.

good locationnice balconypoor quality pansdirty net
the location was good near restaurants. the apartment had a balcony.
the pans were poor quality. I couldn't even find a frying pan. non-stick pans are basic necessities, and the floors were also tatty needing relaying. a dirty net curtain was hanging. The bed base was the same.

surprised by the beautiful stay

free accessrelaxing musiccomfortable bedoutside pool
i could get free access to the beach club across the road. the music in the reception and lounge area was relaxing and beautiful. the beds were comfortable i found. there is a bus stop right next to the building. i had a telephone in my room to ring reception if i had questions.
I would have preferred the pool to be inside the building. this was not a significant issue and did not greatly impact my enjoyment.

The apartment was big. It was in an easy location. The apartment allowed simple access to many facilities. I found the location to be perfect. The apartment was comfortable.
I found the one bedroom apartment to be poor in some areas. The air conditioning was ineffective. It was quite disappointing (I expected better). The vinyl seating was uncomfortable and needed some cushions. The lighting could have been better.
