Cardor Holiday Complex Reviews
Balcony overlooking the pool was nice as was the room. Basic but only what we expected.
Beds were two singles but easily pushed together.
Maid came everyday and even left extra towels sometimes or none at all.
Shower is a very basic plug-into-the-tap type but it worked.
Safety deposit box cost £24 euros for 2 weeks but don't really think we needed it.
Never used air-con but fan supplied was great.
In our second week the flat above us leaked into our kitchen, I phoned reception twice about it and they said it was under control. Eventually I had to go and get the woman to tell her and she said the maintenance bloke couldn't see anything wrong??? (It was obvious). I eventually just loaded towels on the leak and left it. It never leaked again.
Apart from that it was an OK base, the fridge was a godsend and the position just 5 mins one way and ten mins the other to the beach.
The bus station is a 2 minute walk and so are lots of "English" pubs which were not to our taste but like I said it's only ten minutes to a decent restaurant.
If you want a base where all the amenities are local (Launderette 5 mins, shops 1 min) then this place is great. Make sure you don't pay too much as some people we heard had paid a fair bit for the same place that we had paid very little for!
Bugibba is very touristy and the food gets a little samey - basically it's English cafe food or pizza and pasta in varying scales of cost. Best food we had was in the places on the seafront.
Nowhere ever got busy, from the hotel pool to the pubs and restaurants we visited so I think we picked the best time to go.
Temperatures ranged from 30 to 35 every day and it was a great holiday snorkelling in the sea everyday and eating like a king.
One thing about Malta though- the flies, every time you sit down there are 2 or 3 flies around you and your food. This does only apply if you eat outside, air conditioned restaurants had no flies but it's more fun to eat outside! That was the only bad thing about Malta- everything else is wonderful and we will be going back next year for a week to spend on the Captain Morgan Catamaran and snorkelling every day! Would we stay at the Cardor again- well sometimes it's the devil you know so YES.
