Santana Hotel

eat it. It was there again on Sunday but not much was eaten. On Monday it had been chopped and covered in a brown/red sauce which made it look a bit like rabbit until you saw the chicken skin left on. AWFUL. Greasy roast potatoes and chips.

Antipasti section, about 10 choices but it looked a mess. no thank you. I gave up in disgust and from Tuesday onward I ate out and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Would I stay there again?? Maybe but not half board, or breakfast.

massage visit the hotels beauty parlour which is down stairs well worth a visit,also has great treatment for sunburn! which i can recomend!! hee hee.
Cafe style bar had entertainment 4/5 days aweek with really great barman who was excellent with kids.
Only real problem was the water truck which visited about 3 times a day, 1 call being at 3am every morning!! and delivered right under our bedroom window great way to tell the time!!!!! (our room was on the right hand side of the hotel).
Also couple of places had loud entertainment ok if you like carrioki which i hate!!

Have had 2 great stays at this hotel and would recommend it to friends and family.

to many other countries & get that kind of hospitality), rooms very clean, food is very good good selection @ breakfast & evening meal. the hotel rooftop pool has great views. probably only let down is the canoa bar, entertainment is usually in here, but usually empty, we went to see lawrence gray twice & there we only around 6 - 10 people in, entertainment would be better located in the front bar where people are continuously passing the hotel.overall though the hotel, staff & holiday were magnificent

very clean and pretty and of a very high standard . the restaurant is very nice , serving all sorts of foods including bacon sausage , fried bred rolls and cereals and porridge etc ... the only thing we had to complain about was the entertainment , in july , the was only entertainment for 3 nights in a week and other nights , the bar would be enpty and shut up 3 hours before it normallly closes . Also , the roof top pool is very nice and large , perfect to do a few lengths in . but the indoor pool is freezing , also the indoor pool and sauna and jacuzzi and gym were of very high quality . all in all a lovely hotel with good service and smiles .

workmen with pneumatic drills until we discovered what it was the next day. The worst noise came from the entertainment which was foolishly located in the cocktail bar on the sixth floor instead of in a basement where moist hotels would have it. As we were on the fourth floor the entertainment (singers and caberet) travelled right through to our room and for four nights out of seven we had to wear ear plugs but the noise and vibration from the singer still got through!

Overall the hotel is recommendable but if you want a quiet break, call the hotel or travel agent and make sure you are not located at the back of the hotel or near the cocktail bar or you will have to sleep with ear plugs.

was always a fish dish, and usually a roast to give an alternative to the more interesting choices. The variety was excellent throughout. Perhaps a strict vegetarian might have reason to complain, but I would quite imagine the staff to be accommodating in any way possible should that be the case.

Nothing seemed to be too much trouble to the helpful and friendly staff. One of the reasons for choosing the Santana was its Hospitality Accreditation - one which we found it to have deserved.

Housekeeping was excellent, with towels changed every day.
Entertainment was a little limited, but probably little different from other hotels and bars in the area, especially at this time of year, where the island was just waking up to the new season.

Whilst the position of the hotel is perhaps not the best in the resort from the seafront point of view, and the rear rooms receive no direct sunlight in the winter months, it\'s proximity to the bus station gave us the ability to explore the islands as we wished.

When reading other reports, the reference to how close the hotel was to this facility made me question whether it would be subject to a lot of traffic noise. I need not have been concerned. The bus routes do not pass by the hotel.

We would certainly visit this hotel again if returning to Qwara ( pronounced \'our-ah\' - if that helps anyone such as me before I went )

but the room was warm.

Did go to entertainment but could never get early enough to get a seat.

In all would stay here again. For a ex smoker found the tobacco smells in the rooms and corridors off putting. Also smokers note you can only smoke in your room, Malta is completely non smoking in all public areas.
