Sun seekers rejoice – here's a holiday hotspot that's refreshingly laidback. Qawra, up at the North Eastern tip of the archipelago is the place to be for its attractive pebbly beaches, its array of water sports activities and, of course, its sunshine.

One of the island's premier places to stay, the Canifor Hotel brings you four star facilities right in the heart of Qawra. Famed for its friendly and attentive service, it's one of those 'you won't have to lift a finger' hotels – the staff will do whatever they can to ensure you have a really relaxing holiday.

The sun, scenery and impressive service make the Canifor Hotel a top holiday choice

As soon as you arrive at the Canifor Hotel you'll know you're in for a treat. The impressive reception area shows that this is a hotel of real quality. And it's ideally situated for whatever kind of holiday you want. There are flat, pebbly beaches at St. Pauls and Salina Bays – both wonderful places to take a dip and catch some rays.

The Canifor Hotel is just the sort of base you need. The en suite rooms are all fully air-conditioned and come with direct dial phone, radio and mini cooler. Each has its own balcony too.

There are certainly lots of incentives to spend time in the hotel, whether it's for a dip in the indoor or outdoor pools (or Jacuzzi for a bit of a treat), or a quick tan top up on the terrace. To really get you relaxing, you can even have a massage (there is a charge for this service) – just one more way that the Canifor Hotel really looks after you.

The Canifor Hotel has its own restaurant as well as a Saturday pizzeria to tempt you.

Qawra gives you all the ingredients for a perfect Maltese holiday – and one of the most important is the Canifor Hotel itself. As soon as you're booked in, you'll begin to relax and enjoy the perfect laidback lifestyle.

Limited range of food on offer but enough choice for me each day. Food was served hot and was to my liking. Building works on site adjacent to the front of the Canifor Hotel could be annoying for some but my room was at rear of hotel so well shielded from construction noise. Noise only during day when I was out and about.

good position for the bus stop and local entertainment, very friendly staff, loved the indoor pool area, but , it lacked a bit of a clean, the food was quite acceptable but a bit samey, but overall, it was excellent value for money, and we would definitely stay there again. the special request I asked for was granted to me, so , our stay was very enjoyable.

Robert Harris3rd Jan 2017

Arrived late, night receptionist not very accommodating, just did the basics. Room was adequate, bed a bit uncomfortable, but everything was clean. Food was basic but plentiful and service good. Entertainment was ok, worse at weekends when it seemed to cater more for locals than hotel guests. The maid who serviced our room was excellent. Although we didn't use the rep very much she was very helpful when we did and we always knew when she would be at the hotel. Would definitely book with Mercury again as all arrangements went smoothly.

Extremely pleasant hotel & in a great location with all amenities at hand. This was the 1st time my wife & I had used Mercury Direct, we paid for 2 weeks & had a further 2 weeks free, a fantastic deal. We are already looking at booking our holiday for next year, with Mercury Direct to Malta. An excellent holiday.

reception service at the hotel needs improvement. a smile and a 'have a nice day' would help, otherwise excellent. reception opening times should be displayed.
