It also meant job opportunities for many Gozitan workers during the time that this hotel has been open, including those on management training.”

This hotel is very beautiful, but unfortunately simply doesn’t seem to provide the necessary oomph to make it an outstanding or even mediocre hotel. We have continuously been disappointed with food and service there (but we are optimists) and the last time we popped into the snack bar – 3 weeks ago at 1800 – my husband was served a cold and congealing chicken and noodle stir fry, which he returned and was re-served a micro-waved heated version which was even more disgusting than the original. To be fair, the bar manager agreed and didn’t charge us.
What is the problem? I have never had a decent meal there – not since it first opened – 15 years ago?
As for creating jobs, what a joke.
The next obvious question is:
How many jobs has the Fort Chambray complex provided?
How many jobs will the Hondoq complex provide?
Wake up people and stop the rape of Gozo while you still can!
