Mellieha Bay Hotel Inside and Out one last time before demolition October 2023

A raw video exploring the Mellieha Bay Hotel inside and out, from myself who used to Holiday with my family here from 1979 to 1989, a couple of weeks before it is Demolished to make way for the new Mellieha Bay Hotel.
This should be the last footage of this iconic venue which was the first Super Hotel in Malta back in 1968 and the first package holiday on the island produced by Thompsons now known as Tui.
I will try to include a link in the comments to the Malta Times which gave news of the accepted planning permission from May 2023 after 5 years of trying.
It will also show an artists impression and architects render of the Hotel to replace it by the same owners.
I was not able to upload here without verification but just google the hotel and it will come up 3 items down in the search results.
If you have any photos, especially from the 70s 80s and 90s please upload to the comments below
Although im aware i shouldnt have been on the premises, i would like to state that i did not break in or cause any damage or breakages to enter.
I came in from the sea and rocks and entered through broken windows and doors as seen in this video.
My whole two weeks trip to Malta was based upon seeing my favourite destination one last final time and to bring my Mum to the Island one final time.
Im just sad that my Father who passed suddenly last Christmas was not able to join us. He would have loved it but would have been shocked just how built up the Island is now with many places unrecognisable.
Enjoy and remember the good times.
Best wishes,
