    helpful staff
    excellent amenities

    This place suits me perfectly, offering free wi-fi, a fitness centre, and a poolside snack bar. The staff were helpful during my first stay, taking care of my elderly parents. I highly recommend it and will be back for a weekend!

    convenient location
    limited food options

    The hotel had a convenient location for local

    Shops and bars, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were friendly and did their best, but the food options were quite limited and repetitive. I also noticed some cleanliness issues around the outdoor areas.

    friendly staff
    great food
    warm indoor pool
    wonky elevator
    breakfast variety

    had a really lovely stay at canifor hotel! the staff were super friendly, especially catherine and bernice who made us feel really welcome. the food was actually great, with a nice variety every day, and special thanks to the chefs for the tasty meals. also, the indoor pool was warm and perfect after a day out exploring. location is spot on, close to the beach and bars.

    only downside was that the elevator was a bit wonky sometimes, and i really wanted more variety for breakfast.

    indoor pool
    convenient access
    noisy bar
    limited options

    The hotel's proximity to the beach and convenient access to shops made exploring easy. While the indoor pool area provided a welcoming escape, the noisy bar nearby disrupted sleep. The breakfast was basic, with limited options, which could use some improvement.

    indoor pool
    outdoor movies
    coffee shop

    the facilities at canifor are decent, especially the indoor pool area which is really nice. the coffee shop is a great place to grab a quick bite. the outdoor pool has summer movies, which adds a fun touch to evenings.

    i recommend better cleanliness standards.

    warm indoor pool
    great welcome gesture
    older crowd entertainment

    St. Paul's Bay vibes 🌊

    The indoor pool was lekker warm and such a joy after long days exploring. I also scored two bottles of local wine as a welcome touch. Brekkie was really decent! And oh, the location is perfect for getting around, right by the bus station.

    The evening entertainment was a bit geared towards the older crowd, not really my jam.

    great location
    clean environment
    disruptive noise
    uninspired food
    unorganized check-in

    The location is convenient, just a short walk from the beach and the bus station, making it easy to explore the area. The housekeeping staff maintained a clean environment throughout my stay, and the indoor pool area exceeded expectations with its warmth and comfort. the room was located near an active bar, leading to disruptive noise levels, and the food offered lacked variety, primarily consisting of uninspired, frozen options. Training for the reception staff seemed necessary, as the initial check-in process was chaotic and unorganized.

    excellent service
    indoor pool
    limited food selection

    great hospitality but lacking some amenities

    The staff provided exceptional service throughout my stay. A special shoutout to Catherine Vassallo and Bernice Cortis, whose management really shone through. The staff made every interaction enjoyable, creating a cozy atmosphere. The indoor pool area offered a relaxing escape from the bustling exterior, exceeding my expectations.

    The selection of food options felt somewhat limited.

    strong ac
    convenient location
    basic shower

    The place has a lovely, strong AC to beat the heat and is conveniently near bustling corner shops open till midnight. Plus, my room was tidy and well kept—no complaints there!

    But don't expect a spa experience! The shower was so basic, it made me feel like I was auditioning for a survival movie.
