Much depends on what you want from a hotel and when you travel. We stayed at the Bella Vista Hotel for a week at the beginning of February, and expecting indifferent but slightly warmer than British weather were very lucky to have sunshine and T-shirt comfortable temperatures for most of the days. We planned to explore Malta by walking - and in fact covered much of the Island on foot and by bus. For this the hotel was just fine. By turning right out of the hotel and walking for about five minutes to the edge of St Paul's Bay we could catch a good range of buses to most places on the island - much better than if we had been travelling from the bus station in Buggiba. So, for our wants the location couldn't have been better. Food was fine - we could help ourselves to buffet breakfasts and evening meals. For example I somehow managed to work my way through slices of fresh orange, a bowl of plain yoghurt, fried eggs, sausages and beans and toast and marmalade for breakfast!!!!! To keep up my strength for the walking, you understand. Not forgetting the tea - decent tea. Evening meals had choices of salads, pasta etc and then main courses where the fish was best and desserts that improved through the week. Certainly no need to starve and mostly very good. We weren't looking for much other than somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep and decent food that we didn't have to cook. We did swim in the indoor pool most evenings - it's not very big but we were mostly the only ones in it. There wasn't much in the way of entertainment that we could see and the lounge areas weren't large - but after 10-12 miles walking a day all we wanted to do was sit and read. The hotel staff were all courteous and helpful. We'd go back again. Things might be different in the summer and I should think the area is brash and full of tourists
