I'm currently sat in my sea view upgraded room, ha...

I'm currently sat in my sea view upgraded room, having just tried to have dinner on the huge veranda overlooking the hotel grounds and sea beyond. Then an Elvis impersonator started yowling directly below our room and everything started to shake as the floor vibrates. You see unfortunately, our beautiful balcony is directly above the Mokka bar area, which means every evening at 8pm until 11pm, some degree of obscenely bad hotel entertainment happens. Sadly their is no function here for me to upload a video in which you can barely hear me speaking over the din to show you. If anyone would like to see this for an example, head to YouTube and search Malta Radisson Blu Elvis.
We have asked for the volume to be addressed, apparently this isn't possible. We asked for a room change, they finally were able to offer us something further away from the noise but it was a downgrade to our upgrade in terms of being in perpetual shade, a floor lower with therefore minimal views. Not situating a room directly above this area would have been smarter as apparently "people either love it or hate it".
In other areas the hotel is quite nice, the pool area is nice and large, though there seems to be a lack of staff enforcing the whole 'no reserving sunbeds' rule, mostly there are very few available all covered in towels, yet theres not 200 people in the water..
The food and drink in the hotel is expensive, hence the attempt at an evening meal in our self catered room on the veranda, thanks Elvis.
Theres nowhere else to go nearby, nearest town is 20 min away on the bus. No shops or usual tat, which personally I quite enjoy a browse around of an evening whilst on the hunt for a restaurant or bar to occupy. Bugibba is over half hour away on the bus.
I wouldn't come here again if I came back to Malta.
If you're a family with kids who likes to hang about the pool mostly, do a few trips, have an early night (away from the Mokka bar) this is probably perfect for that.
We're really disappointed this is our holiday experience.
