Hi Jim,

It just depends where you want to be on the island. Jerma Palace is nice but
Corinthia Marina's more central and although it is near Paceville - the
nightlife area - it's not in the middle of it and far enough for it not to
be really noisy. Also it depends how you intend to get about - if you want
to go by local bus which are very cheap, being in Marsascala is more
difficult for getting around. Also just down the road from theCorinthia
Marina is Andy's Bar - very popular with both tourists and locals alike.
They do food too which is good and cheap - also quite nice to sit right by
the side of the sea.

Hope you enjoy your holiday!
Lisa
