Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness — "povsod je bilo umazano", stained towels and generally dirty rooms; cleanliness is a clear negative.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive service: several guests praise helpful staff, a welcoming manager gesture (wine and water, voucher) and good reception from some employees; one report of an unfriendly receptionist lowers consistency but overall staff responsiveness was highlighted.
Location
9
Consistently praised location near bus stops and seaside promenade; described as a very good base for exploring Malta (Qawra, Bugibba, easy bus access to Valletta, St Julian, Sliema, Mdina).
Room Quality
6.4
Rooms are described as spacious and in some cases clean and well-equipped (fridge, kettle, air-conditioning), but several guests report malfunctioning or noisy air conditioning and occasional shower problems — mixed room quality.
Amenities
9.2
Strong amenities: multiple pools, rooftop terrace with Jacuzzi, gym and bars noted positively; guests enjoyed pools, terrace and leisure facilities.
Value for Money
6.5
Mixed value perception: some guests found the half-board acceptable, others warn against all-inclusive due to food quality and note the hotel needs renovation — overall slightly below average value.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Repeatedly criticized for monotonous, repetitive breakfasts and limited variety at meals; some appreciated continental options but overall F&B variety and quality received negative comments.
Overall Experience
7.1
Mixed overall: some guests were very satisfied and would recommend (praised service, pools and location), while others were disappointed mainly due to cleanliness, noisy environment and poor AC/food — averaged impression aligns with target rating.

Sam pokój ok. Nie jest nowy. Jest w miarę ok. Personel raczej nie był dla nas zbyt przychylny
Pros:

Bardzo fajna lokalizacja. Smaczne jedzenie

Cons:

Obsługa klienta na słabym poziomie. Brak możliwości wyjaśnienia problemu z obsługa. Konieczna była interwencja booking

Recomendo muito
Pros:

O quarto é otimo, espaçoso, camas e travesseiros confortaveis.
Cafe da manha bom tambem.
Piscinas e areas comum muito bons.
Funcionarios atenciosos.
Tudo otimo.
Detalhe: eu reservei o Canifor e fiquei no CuraSun, um predio super novo anexo ao Canifor.

Cons:

Nao é algo que desabone, mas, o ralo do box do chuveiro nao escoava muito a agua do banho. (Apenas um detalhe).
