hotel staff were very helpfull not a 4* by our standards but a nice hotel i will post a hotel report but the hotel is not in the hotel reviews.Malta is a lovely island lots to do and lots to see a week was just not long enough with so mutch to do the churches are a must see as they are lovely ,the one place that was a great disapointment to us all was mediterraneo where the dolphins are, it was a only a little place that you could walk round in about 10 mins the dolphin show was half an hour long but was not like the shows i have seen else where we were in the place for about an hour seen the sealions and the dolphins my daughter was very conserned that the water in the pools was dirty and it was not very well kept its not worth the entrance fee. Gozo is worth a visit lovely little island we went for a coffee in the Grand hotel just up from the port that is what you call a 4* hotel the coffee was great to.The bus service is great you can get a bus into Valleta and a bus to all over from there the buses are every couple of mins.All in all we had a great holiday and will go back to see all the things we could'nt fit in .

Hi Merril, sounds like you had a good time in magical Malta, I am intrigued by your on-line name can I ask you, do you know what a merril is ?.

merril was my sons hamster a few years ago called after a pokemon and my hubby couldnt think of an online name so he called himself after the hamster and we are merrilgb on most sites lol
Did you notice a picture of Malta's national bird on the Lm1 coin? Have a look at the name of this bird in Maltese, it is a Blue Rock Thrush in English

Glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday here.

Hi Merill, as ingliza has quite rightly pointed out a Merril is the national bird of Malta which is why I was asking if you knew what one was, it is also the name of our favourite restaurant in Malta which is Il-Merril, St Vincents Street, Sliema, very near the ferries and very good it is too 
.

we seen that resturant but never clicked lol also we seen it on a name plate of a house next to st pauls catacumes but still never clicked my hubby was going to take a pic of it for his msn but the spelling is different merill only one r and 2 ll are we thick or are we realy thick lol 
Hi merrilgb,
No you are not thick
I mentioned The L1 coin because obviously you had seen one of those, however the Central Bank's site spelling of "merrill" is incorrect
According to both Birdlife Malta and my Maltese dictionary the correct spelling is Merill,as spelt in the name of Sleima2's favorite restaurant.
Sadly, I have never seen a Merill in over 20 years I have lived here. Here is a picture of the handsome little fellow. He is a bit smaller than a Blackbird, lives on rocky coastlines and cliffs, eats insects, lizards and fruit, and his female is ordinary dark brown.

Hello Merrilgb
Glad to hear you like the Grand, We're staying there for a week, haven't heard much feed back about it. But we decided to go for it anyway.
Thanks for giving us feed back!

Hi Slim
just thought i would tell you a bit of what we seen when we were in the grand, its not a large hotel but the staff are very friendly we went into the bar area to have a coffee and it looked into the dining area which for a small hotel is quite large it was just after breakfast so we didnt realy see any food but the coffee was the best we had during our stay, when we finished we thought we would have a look round so we asked at reception and were told it was not a problem and that the pool was on the 5th floor so we went to have a look and it was a lovely pool area with great views the pool was small but plenty of sun beds and very clean when we came out of the lift i caught a glimps of what i thought was a small seating area but when we returned to go back in the lift i discovered it was actualy one of the rooms wich seemed very large and very nice.When we returned down stairs and had a look on the notice board we discovered it has its own cinema which is open on a Friday and Saturday and is free.The views from this hotel are breathtaking so i hope you have a lovely time and let us all know how you get on.Hope this is helpfull.
