I really, really liked the country. Europe is one word. The hotel certainly added one star for the sandy beach. The level of the hotel is not a solid three stars. But you forget about it when you get beyond it. Malta is a sightseeing vacation, with the possibility of relaxing on the sea, on the sand. Do not believe if they promise a warm sea. The geographical position and the formation of the island determine other conditions for the water temperature in the sea - the currents are cold, not higher than 20-22 degrees. The hotel itself is like a long, long corridor along the coast, overlooking the sea. We took the all inclusive. They have an interesting one - they always write a check both in a bar and in a restaurant, but they warn that they say this is for a report, you don’t owe us anything. It was annoying at first, but then they suddenly stopped writing and just let go of the bracelet. What is included in the system, I never fully figured out: today one ice cream is free, and tomorrow another ice cream is free, complete nonsense. Beach towels will not be given, only for 1.50 euros. The room was cleaned well, linen and bath towels were changed almost every day or every other day. The staff is kind, they always try to understand you, even in Russian with monosyllabic English words. The pool bar worked alone and there was always a queue, the other pool did not work. There is no bar on the beach. there are sun loungers and umbrellas until 9 am and after 3 pm, who didn’t have time, go to the pool or to the concrete slab (with sunbeds and umbrellas).
We managed to catch the yellow buses and even ride them, they were replaced by green ones with air conditioners.
But Malta and even this hotel is much better and cleaner than Turkey and Egypt.
