The Seashells Resort at Suncrest is a resort in the area of Qawra, in Saint Paul's Bay, Malta built in 1987 as the Suncrest Hotel by Angelo Xuereb, owner of AX Holdings. As of 2009, Joseph Vella has been acting as a general manager.[1][2][3]

Ownership and Management[edit]

The resort has been owned and managed by AX Hotels, a subsidiary of AX Holdings, since 1987.

The Suncrest Hotel, as it was originally known, was managed by Sol Melia.[4] The hotel is also known as Sol Suncrest.

In 2015, a major renovation of all hotel rooms was undertaken at a cost of over €7 million. At the same time, the Cheeky Monkey Gastropub was opened and the Luzzu complex was annexed.[8]
