Hi there,
Just got married, and are planning to honeymoon in August. Would love to go to Malta and have my heart on somewhere really special to stay. I've done a bit of research, but wondered if there was a hidden gem that anyone knew about? We usually (as a family) stay in 5* all inclusive when we go away, as we find it so much easier with kids who can eat for England/ get bored easily! So, we would like our honeymoon (sans kids) to be a little bit more special? (Some of the huge big 5* hotels look great, but I've heard drinks etc are expensive.) Would love to be in walking distance of restaurants / harbour or town etc, have very nice standard of accommodation but not get ripped off!
Am I asking for the impossible??
Many thanks in advance....we're also thinking of going to a small greek island, but my late grandparents honeymooned in Malta so it just seemed perfect!

Seems like I have the perfect answer. Have a look at the Fortina Hotel in Sliema. We've stayed there a few times and are going again in July. You can stay all inclusive in the 5 star part of the hotel and have access to Sliema, a harbour town, as well as excellent views of Valletta, which can be easily reached by bus or the ferry service.
I can recommend the restaurants of which you have a choice of 7, with each one offering different a la carte cuisine, if you are AI on 5 star. Drinks are also of a high quality as is everything in the 5 star part of the Hotel. There is also a 4 star part of the hotel.
To stay 5 star AI isn't cheap but well worth it especially if it's your honeymoon! Knowing what to expect I don't think we've been ripped off for what we've paid. I can tell you that we're really looking forward to our stay there in July and are trying to lose some weight in anticipation, since we always come back quite a few pounds heavier!!!!
If you're interested we did find the best deal with Chevron Holidays but have noticed that prices have gone up since we booked a few months ago.
Hope this helps,
Trev
We are getting married in Malta this September and will be staying in the following hotels:
Hotel Phoneicia, Valetta - http://www.phoeniciamalta.com/hotelphoenicia/home.aspx
Hotel Kempinski San Lawrenz, Gozo - http://www.kempinski.com/en/gozo/Pages/Welcome.aspx
Hotel Xara Palace, Mdina - http://www.xarapalace.com.mt/xarapalace/home.aspx
Obviously we haven't actually stayed in any of them yet but they all look nice on their webistes and have good reviews on Trip Advisor. Hope you find something that suits you!
