Bad Points

The hotel is full of foreign exchange students from the EF group- I felt like I was in a youth hostel. After waiting for 2 hours to get into our room as it was being "cleaned" I had to clean the bathroom myself as it would appear that the bath, sink and toilet had not seen any cleaning products.


General Comments

Malta is a lovely part of the world but the Buggiba Holiday Complex is not the place to stay if you want a relaxing holiday as it is over run with teenagers. Definitely not the place for people with small children.
The hotel is large but has a distinct lack of sun beds - during our 2 week stay we managed to get a sun bed for 1 day. I think that people got up at 6am to put their towels down!!
The food in the hotel is ok but very bland and boring. The staff in the restaurant are very polite.

    I saw the bad reviews of this hotel when it was too late to cancel. I hoped it was just people being fussy but unfortunately it was worse than I imagined. I've noticed that there are 2 new reviews since I got back, from people who were probably there the same week as me. I agree with everything they say, language students running up and down the corridors screaming and shouting, the rooms were very poor and the cleanliness was inconsistent - I had fresh towels and sheets everyday but my mother didn't. My mother had booked in Oct 04 and requested a pool view, but instead had a street view with building work going on right next to her. She was offered another room but I can't begin to describe how appalling it was. Pool area was rubbish but you couldn't get a lounger anyway, thankfully we hired a car so we could drive to the NEAREST sandy beach 20 minutes away! The hotel entertainment was Vic Reeves-style club singers and cringe-worthy DJs. The nightlife in Bugibba is great for families but I won't be going back to Malta again - the hotel has put me off for life. I've paid less for far superior hotels in better resorts AND it's expensive over there. After speaking to a few people at the airport on the way home, I realised a lot of people had been moved, I just wished I’d had the guts to kick up a fuss.
