Reviews and Ratings
I was lucky enough to stay in a lakefront room at St Julian, thanks to Miss Wilson, the helpful GM. The room was large, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Wineport Lodge even surprised us with an upgrade to a suite, making our stay extra special.
The hotel offers fabulous views and a peaceful atmosphere. The rooms were fabulous, overlooking the beautiful lake with private balconies; however, some maintenance issues like worn carpets and a faulty toilet were noticeable. The staff is super friendly and welcoming, although they seemed busy at times. The location is fabulous, like a mini retreat, but the restaurant might be overpriced. The dining experience was lovely, but some dishes were only okay. Facilities are well-maintained with beautiful views.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, very comfortable, and offered a great view over the lake. The service was top-notch, with extra friendly and helpful staff. The location overlooking the lake was fabulous, like a mini retreat worth every penny. The dining experience was relaxing, and the facilities were excellent. A great value for the money overall.
I had an amazing time at this hotel! The rooms were very comfortable with contemporary furnishings, and the outside deck overlooking the lake was beautiful.

The location was breathtaking, overlooking the lake and providing a fabulous and quiet retreat. The dining experience was superb, and the facilities were excellent.
