The Topaz hotel is situated just ten minutes walk from the centre of town and is close to local shops and restaurants.My partner and i went all inclusive here and i must say was excellent value for money.The hotel has thousands of rooms,two pools one of which is indoor,clean and spacious rooms,a very large dinning area and two indoor bars as well as pool bar.Other great facilities include:internet section with computers,wi-fi,piano lounge,tour section for booking trips and 24 hour reception.The food was fabulous for breakfast,lunch and dinner with a great choice for all eating habits,spoilt for choice most nights with fish,various cold and hot meats,soups,salads,pasta and plenty of deserts to keep you going as well as a good selection of wines,beers and spirits and soft drinks.Staff go out of there way to help any time of day and are very friendly and informative.Would definately come here again and can well recommend it.

Unique Quality: Great hospitality,fabulous choice of food,good bars.

Directions: Five minutes walk from St.Paul's roundabout or ten minutes from Bugibba square.

This Hotel is in more residential area so there was not much noise at night.
About 15 min walk to St Pauls Bay or the square in Bugibba.

We were self catering and our room was over the pool bar overlooking the pool area. The room was A/C and had all the usual equipment for s/c, towels changed every day.

The hotel as two anexes linked by under ground passages. There is a buffet restaurant and a Italien restaurant also. We paid for breakfast one morning at 6.50 euros each, you can buy a breakfast at a lot off places for less than 3 euros.

The pool area was good and there was plenty off sunbeds also you can buy snacks at the pool bar which we did one day I had a nice sandwiche and a few beers also.
There is entertainment by the pool bar most nights and a good thing the music stops about 23.30.

The reception is large and there was a pub also just past the reception.

We enjoyed our stay with no complaints and I would use this hotel again also it was kept clean.

Unique Quality: I liked the Location but a lot off people may not agree especialy with someone with walking difficultes.

The staff seamed friendly.

Directions: Just off the main road going into Bugibba near the Cinama.

We stayed here in Feb/March 2008 and found it was good value for what we paid (not very much
as it was a late deal! - £200 each for B&B including flights form Glasgow) We are pretty fit and so spent a lot of time away from the hotel walking and
only really spent time here in the evenings.
The breakfast was a buffet with a choice of fruit, cold meats, breads,rolls, cheese, juices, coffee, tea, cereals, yougurt,bacon, sausage, eggs and fried
potatoes every morning - all served as a buffet so as much as you want.
The outdoor pool was closed but the indoor one was open but it is SMALL and dark - 5 swimming strokes will get you along the length of it! There was also only 1 x shower and at the time we were there the sauna was not working.
There was entertainment in the bar every night but unfortunately we were in a room above the bar
(2 floors above and 5 rooms along) so we could lie in bed and listen to the music coming up through
the structure of the building. The restaurant/bars are under the rooms immediately behind reception so if your are 'early-to-bed' try to avoid these. After 2 nights we asked for a move
and we were moved to another block of rooms across the road (accessed via a tunnel from
main reception) This was MUCH quieter with no traffic in the corridors as there were only 6 rooms
on each floor - the rooms also 'seemed' to have been refurbished.
Buses through St Pauls bay are about 200 yards away - these run north and south up and down
the island.
The hotel is about 1/2 mile from the main restaurants/bars in Buggibba so should not get much
noise from those however in March about 1/2 of these were closed.
A good basic hotel handy for the buses and was quiet at the time we stayed.
