Gozo and Comino trip
Great value, modern, right on the beach. Breakfast ok but a bit limited. Buses X4 and 82 take you to Valletta from right outside the hotel in under an hour.

Plenty of R& R at Water's Edge
Efffective and efficient are two words to describe the staff. Hotel next to beautiful beach and bus terminal for buses to Valetta and airport etc. Tickets 2euros 50 and valid for two hours. Breakfast on Level one, good choice and restaurant Level 0. Ate here most nights. Godd promenade walks and places of interest -depending on your stay. No hesitation recomending Water's Edge.

The staff were kind, friendly and knowledgeable. They helped with early check-in. The breakfast was good (more selection would help with picky eaters). Rooms were very clean. It was very quiet. We had a great time.
