I worked at the Canifor Hotel between September 2004 and October 2007, as a waiter and Barman in the cafeteria. In my opinion an employee can describe the Hotel much better that anyone. I've read and seen a lot of tourists coming and going, complaining and having fun at the same time.
The rooms are spacious for everyone, both couples and families. The beds are very comfortable (I slept on them more than one time as I worked long shifts). The rooms and bathrooms are always tidy but in need of a little refurbishment.

The Lounge bar normally has two barmen, both of them are very friendly and always have a smile. One sings when he is in a good mood (always) so the tourists will have a big laugh at him. The entertainment is a little bit low but both the singer and the pianist are very friendly if you start talking to them. Also it closes at 1:00AM.

In the cafeteria you will find everything. You will normally find all types of liqueur and alcohol. A variety of beers, Maltese, English, German, Irish. Different soft drinks and also snacks.

Food is available to guests nearly all day, let me explain:

Breakfast from 7:30AM till 10:30AM
Lunch from 12:30PM till 2:30PM
Dinner from 5:30PM till 9:30PM
REMEMBER snacks from 11:00AM till 3:00PM

So basically the only time that one can't eat is 30min in the morning and 2:30min in the afternoon. I think it's quite reasonable don't you think?.

The pool area is quite enjoyable. I know it's not that big but for the price paid you will enjoy the pool, indoor pool and jacuzzi. Not to mention that the hotel has also a gym.

The restaurants hold over 150 people at a time. In the Summer we had more than 400 guests and all of them could be cleared within 3 hours. Also the food is not that horrible as described. It is very good, not the best but for the price one pays it is very good. The General Manager of the hotel and his family often eat there often.

The management is very friendly. Everyone smiles except obviously when they are busy.

That is basically that's all I have to say and if no one believes me see for yourself. What you need to do is just try it for a couple of days and remember what you pay for the days.

Thanks and enjoy your stay at the Canifor Hotel
