We are thinking of going to Malta next summer. I went in my teens and loved it and DH and I are both history nerds buffs, so there should be plenty to do.
But I'm having trouble deciding where to stay.
When we've travelled before, we've done self-catering cottages etc, or hotels with interconnecting rooms. (Although I do prefer some catering facilities as DD2 has good allergies). We don't spend a lot of time there as we do a lot of day trips etc. We know this works for us.
But. DC are getting to the age now that they might like access to a kids club or some entertainment and a pool. And a more relaxing holiday might be nice. But DH who is a grumpy sod would hate a big noisy hotel/pool complex. I just need a shady spot to read my book in between dips in the pool and exploring the area. We're antisocial introverts, so don't need entertainment in the evenings for adults or anything.
So, essentially. Quiet, relatively small hotel complex with access to kids activities and a pool. Preferably with a kitchenette. Definitely not in a party area (see above about DH being a grumpy sod - he gets even grumpier if he doesn't sleep).
Is it even possible?
(I suppose the ideal would be a villa next to a small hotel where we could use the facilities)
