The 91-room four-pearl Pergola Club Hotel & Spa, is a low-key property that's a good value for families and travelers on a budget. On a hillside overlooking the Parish Church of Mellieha and the Mediterranean Sea, the hotel offers simple, Mediterranean-style rooms with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges, but the air-conditioning is underwhelming and only some have sea views from balconies. The hotel also has apartments with kitchenettes that are convenient for longer stays even if they are outdated. There is a small outdoor pool with a bar and children's pool as well as a clean and modern spa and fitness center. Ghadira Bay beach isn't within walking distance, though, and guests looking to stay closer to the beach should consider db Seabank Resort & Spa, though prices will be much higher.
