hi dagnabbit, ive stayed at the primera a few times over the years,its a pretty good 3 star hotel right in the centre of bugibba just a few yards from the main square,indoor pool in the basement,splash pool on the roof,decent rooms,pretty good grub and a smile from the staff, on your visit to valletta dont drive all the way there,parking is impossible during the daytime, as you have a hire car your best option in my view is to drive down to sliema park in the large seafront car park then just walk across the road to the sliema/valletta ferry,its cheap and a short uphill walk into valletta city centre when you arrive,if your staying late check the ferry times as they dont run too late in november,if you miss the last sailing then its cheaper to get a taxi back to the sliema car park than what it would cost back to bugibba.(25euro's) of course if your drinking during the day then travel by bus,they are frequent and cheap.weather wise if your lucky then shorts and sandals will be fine but bear in mind if your visiting churches or st johns co cathedral you may be asked to cover up and the ladies may be asked to wear a headscarf.(supplied) i think you will like bugibba,it has an excellent cafe culture during the evening and there are lots of good places to eat and drink,nice stroll along the prom during the evening is nice,i do hope you have a great holiday on this wonderful island,i shall be there myself in may & august 2011,cheers tiny.
hi all, going to the primera in buggiba mid november, have hired a car and collecting it at the airport but would like to spend a full day in valletta, (which means wining and dining so no driving), are there regular buses from bugibba to valetta and what time is the last bus back to bugibba, or on the other hand what would a taxi cost back to bugibba, are there plenty of atm's in bugibba as i am thinking of using my nationwide card (is it still free) as i had already ordered and paid for my euros through crown currency and obviously won't be getting them now, finally is it still possible to wear shorts sandals and t shirts during the day in november or is it too cold, have asked this before but the oh wants to know, many thanks and any other info about the area would be welcome. cheers dag
