Panorama Hotel

We have just spent a week at the Panorama Hotel on our honeymoon. I booked the holiday before reading the reviews and I have to say I was really really worried after reading some of the negative ones. However there was no need to worry. Yes, ok, the hotel is fairly basic, but it's a three star hotel. What do people expect? If you want the Hilton, pay for it and go there.
Many people seem to have complained about the age of other guests at the hotel.
We were a lot younger than any of the other guests, I'm 30 and my husband is 27, but this was not an issue. We went to visit Malta not other hotel guests. To be honest I would have slept in a cardboard box if it meant having such amazing views. The hotel was clean, the staff were lovely, and the food was good.The bathroom was clean, towels changed daily. The one experience we weren't entirely happy about was on our last evening when we were in our room, myself in the shower and my husband packing, and a German guest let herself into our room with a key. I have no idea how her key worked in our door, but in the end we saw the funny side. I think she was more embarrassed than us!
We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and went out during the day and in the evenings to eat. There were some fantastic places to eat, particularly the Last Paradise on the main road to the beach. The beaches are amazing and it is well worth hiring a car to make sure you visit them all. All in all, it was a fantastic honeymoon. We looked around at other hotels when we were there and can honestly say that there isn't a single other hotel we would have rather stayed in. A holiday is what you make it, and I can't understand in a place as beautiful as Malta, why people would focus so much on picking fault with what is actually a decent hotel. I can only assume that some people enjoy a good moan!
