Book here only if you are sleeping at the hotel. The 8th-floor pool is for guests only, has a pool bar, and runs April to October.
The pool
Hotel Valentina's pool is on the 8th floor, at Dobbie in San Ġiljan, with a pool bar on the same level. It opens April to October, weather permitting. Heating isn't published.
Our take
Bayview Hotel & Spa by ST Hotels is also guests only and publishes a 7th-floor pool that is heated. Valentina sits one floor higher but says nothing about heating, so a cool morning in April or October is a real possibility.
The downside is the calendar. The pool shuts after October, and the best three months for swimming in St Julians are July to September, so the shoulder months depend on the weather. Book for summer if the pool is the reason you chose the hotel.

Tips
- Plan the trip for July to September, the best three months to swim in St Julians, when the pool is your main reason for going.
- April and October are the edges of the window, and the hotel opens the pool weather permitting.
Before you go. Check that your dates fall between April and October. The hotel lists no pool season outside those months.
