Bugibba 1988

You could try writing to these people http://www.facebook.com/bayretro

I had a look around and it seems to have gone now.
If it's converted I suggest you go to Google search hotels in the area and see if any resemble your memories, in terms of architecture and location.
Good luck.

Cheers for that

hey,

from what I see this hotel still exists, but the address is in St Paul's Bay - check this site and there's more info including the phone number to the hotel: http://hotels-malta-pl.ghix.com/st_paul … 277pl.html

There is a phone number so that you can call them and double check if this is really the place you're after. Good luck!

Sorry I was only looking in Bugibba but looking at the map I can see why it is remembered as Bugibba, see here

Hi Radek

Thanks for the heads up on this one but I have checked this complex and it isn't the hotel which we stayed at. If its of any help to you it was about 0.5 kilometer away from the sea front. If you travel out of Bugibba on the main road it was sort of to the right, right next to a corner restaurant and bar called the "Spaghetti Junction" and quite near another little restaurant called "La Lampara" or something like that.

Spagetti junction is still there and going strong.

Thanks a million for your reply. The photo I am sure, is the rear of the hotel. Our room was on the corner just out of shot. But I am now confused because The Topaz was hotel a little further down the road whilst we were there. Do you know if the Topaz has moved to the Stanton Court site?
I can see from the photo that there is a new building being built on the corner where a great little restaurant called the Spaghetti Junction used to be. It's funny but only in Malta new buildings take several years to actually complete.

If you visit the link,then go to travellers photos,then scroll to picture number 205...is that looking onto your hotel ?

could it be the Santa Maria or San Anton hotel..The name San Anton is very close to the word Staunton...maybe it was renamed! The San Anton closed down but is still there. I did hear that it may be reopened this year sometime. Hope that helps.
