Good hotel in a lovely place

I have just ben to Malta for the first time (over Christmas). We all really enjoyed it, despite the weather (the last few days were awful-but OK till then). Hotel itself was lovely, shower fittings etc. could be more modern, but apart from that it was great. The entertainment was generally very good. We saw Julie James, a very good local female singer and a 'classical-style' male singer (cant remember their names). The only one we didn't like was the lady with the four backing dancer, that seemed very contrived and not particularly talented, especially compared to the others. Sergio and his trio were also very good.
I would strongly recomend the organised tours. We did the Malta by night and the Gozo tour, and the daytrip to Sicily (expensive but fun). The first two were done by the same guide (Josette I think) who seemed to know a lot about the history of the islands, and was very friendly.
Overall I would recomend this hotel, and would definitely recoment Malta. The people were very friendly (locals as well as staff) and Malta is a lovely country. I would love to go again, perhaps in the summer to do some watersports etc. (which can also be done at the hotel!).
