I think it depends what your children like to do, Jedimaster. I always stay in the North of the island, Mellieha Bay or Paradise Bay, where the sandy beaches are. The 2 hotels I use both have beautiful swimming pools and both are beside the beach, have boat trips nearby and water sports. That's enough for Laura and was the same for my grandson (he's now 21 - too old to come away with me) who both love swimming. Apart from the Water Park, near St Georges, there aren't many things aimed specifically at children but a lot of the hotels have Kids Clubs, which helps.
Lancsdave, if I believed every bad holiday report I'd never go anywhere. I once read comments about the Paradise Bay hotel on a website. Most people thought it was very good, as I do, but I began to wonder if some of them had actually stayed at the right hotel when I read some bad reviews about it as none of them rang true. Stick to 4* if you can and the hotels are great, 3* don't seem to be as good . Don't stay in Buggiba if you don't like Blackpool-style resorts.
Malta is lovely, with a lovely climate, and the Maltese people are lovely too. It's a friendly little island, full of history and virtually crime-free, and Maltese children/teenagers are well-behaved, respectful and just - nice. Those are the reasons I go there.
