Quelqu'un connait-il Malte et en particulier St George's Bay ? Nous envisageons de réserver au Corinthia Marina Hotel. J'aimerais beaucoup avoir des avis, des conseils. Merci à tous !
bonjour
j ai passé 2 semaines a malte en 2003...enormement de culture !j ai vu rapidement st george's bay.mais je connais plus mellieha (golden bay, pergola hotel).en louant une voiture une semaine (tres cher) j ai pu voir la valette, rabat, st george's bay...a voir egalement : l ile de gozo.sympa : le village de popeye (je me souviens plus de la ville, pas loin de mellieha).le sud est sympa aussi
attention : tres decu par l hotel pergola 3* et du tour operator donatello.(surtout de leur correspondant francais). prix quasi aussi cher que londres...les maltais manquent d'acceuil et de chaleur...
bon voyage
J'ai lu, en effet, sur plusieurs forums, que les maltais étaient impolis, froids, etc... Ce n'est guère encourageant. J'espère que le personnel des hôtels est sympa et serviable. Sinon...
premier point si vous envisagez un voyage à Malte achetez le Guide du Routard, irremplacable base de recherche
comme beaucoup d'insulaires les maltais sont assez reservés, meme froids ; les corses doivent sans doute etre percus de cette manière par les touristes par exemple, ne parlons pas des siciliens !!
Malte est une ile paisible, a forte culture et haut niveau de vie, pas spécialement bon marché. Tout y fonctionne, le reseau de bus est superbe et coloré, l'ile de Gozo vaut le déplacement.
J'y retourne souvent, avec beaucoup de plaisir.
Faut juste aimer conduire à l'anglaise mais on s'y fait !!
- au check-in: On nous a simplement remis notre clef avec pour seule explication les horaires du petit déjeuner.
Pas de sourire, ni de "bon séjour".
- la décoration de la chambre est à peine à la hauteur d'une photo de catalogue pour IKEA: on est très loin d'un 5 étoiles;
Les tiroirs ne fonctionnent pas, la climatisation pulse que de l'air chaud, la chasse d'eau est HS, les joints de la salle de bain noire! Les rideau de la chambre crasseux, les dessus de lit troués et comble du comble des draps complètement mités.
- hygiène: nous avons eu des démangeaisons sur tout le corps en dormant et avant découverts des punaises sur le matelas!
- après nous être plaints des le lendemain de notre arrivée à deux reprises nous avons pu changer de chambre, où nous avons été surclassés(vue sur la mer) mais les problèmes d'hygiène et de propreté furent les mêmes!
- le petit déjeuner: le choix des mets est limité. Il a fallut que l'on réclame nos droits pour le spa et les serviettes.
- spa: mal entretenu ( peinture écaillé, rouille.....)
Bref il y a le listing correspond au équipement d'un 5 étoiles mais c'est tout. Heureusement nous avons connu sur la même île un autre hôtel 5 étoiles qui les vaut largement et que nous vous recommandons : le kempinski.
Dur dur ce séjour au Corinthia!
Une descente aux enfers! Mais pourquoi comparer un hôtel maltais présent sur l'île et le Kempiski qui est à Gozo..??.
Des punaises, des tâches, de la peinture écaillée...un accueil médiocre. Il faut croire que le Corinthia prisé par beaucoup de monde est devenu un vieil hôtel de passe...
A moins que tu n'aies vraiment pas eu de chance, ou plutôt que tu aies été repéré comme un client espion des investisseurs de Dubaï à la solde du Kempiski! Ce qui expliquerait la traduction en anglais...
I’m planning to go to an all-inclusive resort next April. I know it’s the start of sargassum season, but I was wondering if it really affects swimming. Do hotels clean the beach? Is it still possible to swim?
I’d like to book an all-inclusive trip next April. My criteria: 1) no sargassum, 2) 4 stars or higher, 3) ability to snorkel right from the hotel beach, and 4) safe.
Hey, I’d like to know which hotel in the south doesn’t force you to wake up at 4 AM just to reserve a shady chair, whether it’s at the beach or the pool.
Hi,
For my husband's 50th birthday, we're going to Mombasa for 10 days and 8 nights in March 2026.
I found a hotel, the Kappa Club Crystal Bay Resort, and online reviews for this hotel recommend a guide named Omar. I contacted him via WhatsApp, and he's offering a 2-day, 1-night safari in Tsavo East, a "blue safari," and a Marafa Canyon day trip for 400 € per person.
I’m asking for help from people who’ve already done these excursions because I have no idea what these offers entail.
Thank you for any advice you can give me about this trip.

Hi everyone, I’m writing here because I’m really torn—I want to go on a trip. A vacation? 10 to 12 days, maybe 14 days. Starting March 14th. I’m in a wheelchair but completely independent. I was thinking of going to Martinique, but apparently, the hotels aren’t all-inclusive, which might be a hassle. If you have any advice, that’d be great. Otherwise, I was considering Mexico—a long-time dream. At an all-inclusive hotel with accessibility on one level (since I’m independent but in a wheelchair). Do you know of any nice, budget-friendly hotels with activities in Mexico? Or Zanzibar is also an option for me, same idea.
Thanks in advance for your help! If you have any tips, that would be amazing so I can finally make up my mind and plan my trip without too much stress. I’m looking ahead so I have plenty of time. Feel free to ask questions if you’d like. Thanks for your feedback, have a great evening!
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations!

I’m looking into November (first, will it be warm enough for snorkeling in Sharm El Sheikh?) and especially for feedback on hotels. I’ve read that the clientele is mostly Italian or Russian. Are there any French-speaking hotels—or at least mixed ones?
We’re a retired couple and are looking for a hotel around 1,000 € per week.
We’ll be in Cairo beforehand and will take a domestic flight.
Thanks in advance.
We’re thinking of booking an "all-inclusive" trip so we don’t have to worry too much... for a week at the beginning of next September, but we’re torn between several destinations: Crete? Cyprus? Sicily? Sardinia? The only thing we’re really looking for is sunshine. Thanks in advance for any tips you can share!
Hi there,
I’m planning a stay at the Sian Kan in the Riviera Maya and was wondering if anyone’s been there recently. If so, are the location, welcome, services, and food still as excellent as they used to be? I’ve heard that since the train between Cancun and Tulum was built, things might have gone downhill.
Thanks for your feedback!

Hi there, I’m a 43-year-old woman planning to travel solo in early March. I’m not really into "commercial resorts," but if I find a place that fits my criteria, I might be interested. To add to the info in the title, I’m open to various activities, but ideally, it’d include snorkeling, hiking, dance (every evening if possible!), group tours, etc. I’d love to meet people (not necessarily a man—just people in general!). I’m not necessarily aiming for the cheapest resort, but since it’s spring break week and everything’s already pricier, 5-star options are probably out of the question. Thanks!
Hello!
What a pleasure to be back on Voyage Forum!
We’ll be in Venice from March 20th to 24th, and I’m looking (for two couples) for a hotel close to St. Mark’s Square—my husband can’t walk long distances. For four nights with breakfast, our budget is around 1,400 € per couple. To avoid too much walking for him, I’d also prefer a hotel where we could potentially eat dinner in the evenings.
If anyone has any recommendations, thank you in advance to those who reply!
We’re planning a week-long trip to Iceland to see the Northern Lights.
We’re looking at staying from March 22nd to 30th: will we still be able to see the Northern Lights, or is it too late in the season?
We found a deal on Voyage Privé that seems like a good price, with a hotel in Reykjavik. If we rent a car, are there any interesting sites we can visit during the day, since we’re tied to returning to Reykjavik every night—or else we’d lose our nights at the hotel!
Hi,
I was planning a trip to Hurghada at the end of March, but it's the end of Ramadan.
Some people are telling me I should avoid it.
What do you think?
Thanks
Hi
I can’t manage to get in touch directly with one of the hotels in Prachuap...
like Prachuap Grand Hotel or Prachuap Beach Hotel...
has anyone been there recently?
or have any info?
Thanks everyone...
Hi there,
We’re heading to Argentina and Chile in February 2025. I’d love to know if it’s recommended to book accommodations (hotels, guesthouses, etc.) in advance, especially in Patagonia? Thanks for your tips!
Hi everyone,
I’d like to book 2 nights at a camp inside Etosha (Halali).
However, online, I’ve found two sites for making this reservation:
The first is the Etosha National Park site: https://etoshanationalpark.co.za
You can’t pay online there—you just submit a reservation request (enquiry).
The second is the NWR (Namibia Wildlife Resorts) site: https://www.nwr.com.na, where you *can* pay online.
Is the latter one reliable?
Thanks so much for your tips!
