Just returned from a 10 day all inclusive break at the soreda after travelling solo and leaving my partner at home- met up with my parents were staying there for 5 weeks in all - . After reading such varied reviews, like most I was a bit concerned...shouldn't have been. I had a great few days break (weather poor but we have no control over that one)...
-Room very spacious, cleaned daily & fresh towels daily if required...rooms at the front better views & brighter than at the side or back
-Food selection great: Breaky: cereals, fruit, yogurts, good ole fried breaky with bacon, sausage, eggs (boiled, omelettes, fried, scrambled) beans, toms etc etc. Lunch & evening meal: Lovely Soups, selection meats, savories, veg, potatoes, chips, pasta & sauces, salad, cold meats, selection cakes, pies, yummy custard......
-Staff very friendly & helpful... room maids hard working, catering & waitress staff excellent...bar service could be slow at times though :-(
-Free WiFi was great...able to chat and use the webcam to chat to the family back in the UK...this was a great little extra to have for me
-Convenient for bugibba bus terminal (10 mins slow walk) - can get a weeks unlimited travel for 12 euros or daily travel for 2.60 euros (bus service around the island is fab & easy to do)
-Hotel little dated & dark/dim in places...but all in all clean, spacious and a great base for exploring the area and island. More a 3 star - defo not a 4 star. The roof terrace & pool area has some great views around Qawra & Bugibba so make sure you get up there at some point
-Main negative for me was both the main entertainment bar & smaller/quieter bar TV screens were totally monopolised with SPORT.....football, tennis, football...oh yeah and more footbal...ahhhhhhhhhhhhh now that was something that annoyed us all..would have been nice to have a 'sport free' area to chill in after your evening meal!
-Main residents were over the retirement age (maybe this time of year) but for me (42yrs) It was great...they seemed to be having more fun than the younger groups there lol
Would I go there again...YES....prob only do half board next time, but it's still a great hotel to use as a base for a holiday to the friendly island of Malta
