5 Star Malta Holidays

Cameron Mcdonagh

Just spent an amazing week at this hotel. We arrived at the hotel around 13:00 check in not till 15:00 but luckily our room was ready. The room was spotless and cleaned daily. The outside pool area was lovely. Very busy at the weekend due to locals being able to pay to use the pool. The staff are lovely and very helpful. The food was standard we eat out a couple of times. There are 4 restaurants you can book in the hotel which were really good and food was nice. On a whole our stay was amazing and have a great week. Thank you db San Antonio for looking after us.

We visited as a couple having been guided by our travel agent that this hotel was ideal for a central location for exploring. The premises is just down the road from the local bus station, and has good links to all areas. The hotel is very clean and has good overall facilities with an indoor and outdoor pools, spa and gym. A main buffet style restaurant with a wide selection of foods, all with good flavours to suit all tastes. This was very busy at most times. There are also three separate restaurants that can be booked, if you are all inclusive you are allowed one visit per week without extra cost. We visited Tagine which was Indian Moroccan, great food and flavours. The room we were allocated was on the 9th floor, but the lifts are excellent, and our room had a lovely sea view. Always very clean and well serviced by our excellent attendant Baburam. Unlike some hotels where you are charged for water and tea/coffee, there’s was ample in the room, and water machines for filling bottles, as the water on the island from taps is described as unpottable. Entertainment in the evenings was very varied, we did enjoy one solo act who sang and played the Appalachian Lap Guitar, other than that, much of the entertainment wasn’t to our taste, and the bar was quite noisy. This a beautiful but very busy hotel, if you want a quieter and more intimate holiday it may not be for you, but the benefits of travel links, location and price for an early year getaway were good for us. All the staff were excellent, very warm and welcoming.

The hotel is spotlessly clean and all the staff we interacted with were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. On arriving at the buffet I was pleased to see they have labelled vegan options, although as the week went on some dishes seemed to be mislabelled as vegan and were in fact vegetarian and vice versa. The food on the whole was lovely and there was a good selection of salad items. There seemed to be more vegan options at lunch than at dinner and offering those options at dinnertime would be a nice option. The pool was lovely, as was the café and was pleased to have the option of soya milk to enjoy their coffees. The cafe was a lovely option to play cards and get a drink in the evening. The hotel is very close to the bus station and isn't far from the main square. We would stay here again.

Our family holiday at the dB San Antonio Hotel + Spa was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The hotel's Moorish-style architecture added a unique charm, and the location in St. Paul's Bay was perfect for exploring Malta's beauty. The all-inclusive package was a dream come true. The variety of restaurants offered delicious cuisines, catering to every taste. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Special shoutout to the entertainment team for keeping the kids engaged with fun activities while we enjoyed some downtime. The nearby attractions, like the National Aquarium, were easily accessible and added to the experience. Overall, dB San Antonio is a fantastic choice for families seeking a blend of relaxation, adventure, and luxury.

A Stellar hotel with great service, truely worth its 4 stars. Upon being greeted at the front desk for the check-in i was given a complimentary glass of orange juice which was very welcoming. My room was nice and clean and every day there was room service to clean my room, i once even found that some clothes i left on the chair were folded and placed back on my bed which surprised me but it's a very nice gesture. As for food, i took the breakfast buffet once not long before it closed and it was sufficient for me, however i found that there werent any soft-boiled eggs or bacon, it could be that i didnt see it in a rush or it wasnt there. The hotel offers lots of drinking & dining options aswell as many great relaxation facilities! As a last note, i saw that there was some construction happening which brought me some concern but in the end it didnt bother me that much, the construction started and stopped at fair hours so i could still get some good sleep.

Had 7 days at this hotel in April 2025 and had a fabulous time. Arrived at reception to early to get in room, but Camillia booked us in and we were able to put or luggage into secured room. Our room was wonderful, beautiful sea view and was cleaned every day and coffee and tea topped up. We went half-board and wow the food was excellent, so much choice and was presented so well, buffet style, cooked to prefection and restaurant staff very attentive. Reception staff so friendly and always polite, would always acknowledge us as we passed by and would help us whenever they could. Was a little apprehensive when we were informed that there was building work and read some previous reviews before we went which sounded bad, but never bothered us at all, no early morning noise or banging and was not a building site like some reviews had said. We would go back to this hotel again it was brilliant.

Feli

Beautiful hotel! Kind service! Good place as well ( Beach in front of the hotel, Supermarket just a 5 minute walk and easy connections to other cities per bus! ) Breakfast was also really good!! There is a construction site right now but it was not disturbing. :)

Valentyna Bohdan

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, with a balcony offering a breathtaking view of the sea. Watching the sunset in the evening and the sunrise early in the morning was truly magical. The staff was friendly and very helpful — they assisted us in resolving an issue with the agency, which tried to deceive us by booking a standard room with a view of a wall, even though we had paid for a sea-view room. Thanks to the hotel staff, the situation was quickly resolved, and we enjoyed the stunning view we had initially chosen. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we would definitely return!

matt merritt

Our stay at Preluna was all we could have wanted. We did 10 days there. Food was good and varied with a themed night every night. Pool side food was better than the lunch option in the hotel but I suspect that because we are still slightly out of season. All staff were very friendly. Special thanks to the assistant restaurant manager (sorry I didn't get your name but you were from Macedonia), you made our stay very welcoming indeed. The restaurant would not run as smoothly without you there. Keep up your ourltstanding service and best wishes.

The room size is descent for a family, the view from the balcony is magnificent with a beautiful sunset and sea. The breakfast food is nice , but the pool is too crowded. For the beach, there is no sand meaning it’s a rocky beach but great for children to jump from a safe ladder into the sea! Overall my stay has been good, and bars and restaurants are at a walking distance 5-10 minutes!

Daniela

We went for a day by the pool. Service can be a bit slow. I think they need to consider that we are in a heatwave and have more reasonable prices for bottled water. The toilets need cleaning more often as by 4pm they were disgusting and smelly. I would also invest in larger umbrellas . The food is good but used to be better. Again it's hot and bearing this in mind there should be a lot more salad options. Pool service is also slow and almost non existent at times.

Annie Williams

This hotel is absolutely beautiful! Right next to the ocean with the sounds of waves crashing on the rocks yet close enough to town to walk to dinner every evening, it is the perfect location. The decor makes you feel like luxury and gives the perfect backdrop for beautiful photos!! But, my absolute favorite part of the stay was the continental breakfast service! I have never seen anything like the spread of food we had to choose from!!! So many pastries and cheeses and fruits!! And the service was five-star!!!! Never have I ever seen such professional and courteous service from a continental breakfast before!!

Anne Demicoli

My parents stayed 1 night to celebrate my father's birthday and they had a very lovely stay. Staff was very welcoming and kind. The room was clean and has all the essentials. Stunning sea view balcony. They really enjoyed it. We then followed on Sunday for their buffet and it was superb! Staff again was very kind served by Marisa, Bishnu and Libin. They were all very welcoming and helpful, coming frequently to check on us. Lovely atmosphere, buffet with a LOT (hence on the Chapital letters) of varieties, whether you want seat food to meat, pasta, sushi, asain.. you name it. Super recommend and not pricey for the selection and service you have. Again thank you Radisson and all the staff especially our host Marisa, Bishnu and Libin!

Brian Scott

Extremely helpful staff everywhere we went including quickly sorting a minor bathroom problem. Breakfast stunning in range, quality and quantity I just hope they are able to use what is left at the end! Location is very quiet with direct sea views and within easy walking distance of many good restaurants, shops etc. Well equipped with swimming and other facilities - but very rocky coastline

Absolutely stunning! 🌅 The Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands is a true gem nestled along one of Malta’s most beautiful beaches. From the breathtaking views of Golden Bay to the warm, attentive service, every moment feels like a luxurious escape. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the food is delicious, and the private beach access is the cherry on top. Whether you’re after relaxation or adventure, this resort delivers it all with elegance and charm. Highly recommended.

We have been here for 6 days. First 3 days were great, last 3 days have been awful. There is an extremely large wedding party here, it is impossible to get a drink anywhere the service is diminished due to the wedding, breakfast and all restaurants are crowded we cannot get a drink around the pool, the wedding party has taken over every amenity the hotel has to offer. I am currently looking for early flights home as I cannot sleep due to the excessive noise caused by the wedding , I have young children who cannot sleep due to noise pollution and spend all day to tired to have the fun and enjoyment a holiday should bring, One lift is faulty my 8 year old got trapped in this alone as the doors shut suddenly as all 4 of us tried to exit the lift there was a fault and she was taken from us causing a severe level of anxiety - the lift doors would not open I manually couldn’t prize them open with my hands my child was taken from level 5 down to level 1 which is where the beach and the general public are, this has been traumatic for her, no apologies from staff. The bathroom door in the “suite” broke while my wife was in the shower she was locked in our bathroom for 1 hour - this is a serious fire hazard and caused great distress for my wife . It could only be opened from outside and my children and I were on the balcony and unable to here her screams for help, this was reported and fixed immediately however no apologies were offered it was just a case of “thanks for letting us know we will sort it” this was disgraceful We are on our honeymoon!!!, the hotel know this as I paid for balloons and room decoration in advance, yet this special occasion has not been acknowledged by a single member of staff, meanwhile a new friend ( made here ) has received a cake for theire 60th birthday which is great for them but feels like we should have had similar gestures, We had a faulty “safe” in our room on arrival and for the first 2 days and I had to carry around all spending money, valuables and passports at all times, until this could be resolved. I couldn’t be more disappointed this is allegedly a 5 star hotel, and out of my usual price range but I made an exception for my honeymoon and could not be more disappointed - 3 stars at best, 5 star prices. There is one restaurant to eat in based on our “full board” and no children’s food or child’s buffet, as they’re are no kids here so then cannot justify catering for my two.!! Mine will not eat anything on offer . The kids like the indoor pool and that’s about it. I think the food is good actually amazing for adults. It’s difficult to get a drink and then almost impossible to get the bill so you cannot leave the bar or restaurant - there is no awareness from the drinks staff, the first 3 days was not like this… Panos is by far the exception to the rule his service and management is exceptional, we cannot get a drink at the pool bar during the day or in the the flavours restaurant most nights we have finished our meals before anyone has been to take our drinks order. The Italian is good service but we are only able to eat our lunch there, as all evening meals must be taken at flavours buffet which was not clear at the time of booking. The room is clean The outdoor pool is redundant due to the temperature of the water The indoor pool is fantastic Ankit at reception was helpful after 3-4 members of staff could not explain how the full board scenario that we booked , even works, I gave up it was both frustrating and time consuming on the first few days of the holiday to try and work out how and where we was allowed to eat If there is a flight to Manchester tomorrow we will be on the plane I am happy to leave 3 days earlier than we have paid for!! Good luck to the couple getting married I congratulate you, no expense has been spared for they’re special occasion ; however the hotel should have notified other guests aka second class guests, that we would become less important and our service levels would drop for us due too such an extravagant event spanning across 4 days!

Robert van den Hoven

Simply amazing and you can tell by the genuine customer friendliness and happiness of the staff. The service was beyond any expectation and it was pure delight to be greeted by Henry every morning at breakfast! We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite which was clean, well equiped and very spacious. All of the facilities are just amazing, with towel services both at the beach below and the indoor and outdoor pools. Special mention to the Luca, Sophia and the rest of the Kid's club team. They provide an extensive and diverse range of activiities which kept our kids entertained. We will defintely be returning!

Chloe Lewis

We stayed for a week with a family of all age ranges. The hotel staff was very warm and welcoming and exceptionally accommodating when it came to my nan. Beautiful hotel, very clean. Staff are incredible. Food is amazing. We just love it. It was our second time here and my nan has been coming since it opened and will continue to as long as she can we just love it !! Thankyou all so much

Gabriela Zamberga

We stayed here during the Easter holidays. The staff at this hotel were amazing, they were extremely kind and honestly are the face of this hotel. The food was delicious and we did not run into any particular issues with it. I will note that if you are a vegetarian/ vegan there isn't a great variety of hot food during breakfast, mainly cereals and fruits. When booking the hotel, it is advertised as a 5 star hotel and resort, therefore the pricing reflects this etc. I was quite surprised when I got there as I have previously been to 5 star resorts and this did not compare. The service in this place by the staff is probably the 5 stars that is advertised as otherwise the building, rooms and amenities are quite dated and need a refresh or even refurbishment. I would at best if looking at the hotel itself place it a 3 star resort. We were in the twilight towers facing the countryside which was lovely, however I feel that again the Radisson should also mention that overlooking this there is a campsite which was very active. ( It did not bother us as we barely spent any time in the room). Overall the stay was great, just a slight let down by the hotel itself as it gained it's 5 stars in 2005/2008 and should really be re-evaluated, especially for the cost of it. Again hats off to the staff they are amazing that is why I am leaving a 4/5.

Daphne Caruana

We went for a day by the pool. Took the buffet breakfast in the morning. Wide selection of items. Really good food and service. We then headed to the rooftop pool. Unfortunately, not a lot of shaded deckchairs near the pool. The pool itself is not that big but it was very nice, enjoyable and clean. The bar next to the pool offers a waited service even for deckchairs. The food was really good and the service was good as well.

Steve Blackman-Cross

A pleasant stay in the Palace. Breakfasts were very good - lots of choices to suit all tastes. We only chose B&B. The only reason I've marked it overall at 4 stars is because: Dining tables were wobbly, and most chairs were in need of a good, deep clean. Carpets in corridors are a little 'tired' (2nd floor). However, in all fairness, the staff are very professional, helpful & very quick to help resolve any issues you may have. Our particular thanks for the nice bottle of wine in our room, to celebrate our anniversary, as well as the complimentary cocktails for my birthday - very much appreciated.

Yaru Y

Checked in at The Palace yesterday, had a bit of issue with the room I was given. Talked to Miss Rana at the reception who has done more than I'd imagined to help me out. Every single staff member I've come across so far has been friendly, attentive and super polite, special shout out to Miss Rana and the house keeping team. I wouldn't say this is the best five star hotel I've stayed at facility wise but the staff here are world class, they are the true assets of this place. I am sure I will be sulking when it's time to go home!

Padraig Farrell

Really nice hotel in the heart of Sliema - Got a fantastic deal for 5 nights so we couldn't say no. Room was beautiful with a free upgrade included and had everything that was needed. Staff is what made this place shine to us, service was phenomenal and most are really engaging and would spark conversation. Shout out specifically to the guys in the Talk of the Town Cafe. Breakfast is varied and tasty but nothing to write home about - Still couldn't fault it. Temptasian Restaurant was quite good although found service not to be as efficient compared to the rest of the hotel. Location can be an issue if you want the best of Malta at your door and would probably recommend a stay in Valetta specifically for that. However, in terms of a place to chill out and have some phenomenal restaurants and fantastic views close by - this is the place to be. Would absolutely come back.

We stayed at AX The Palace Hotel in Malta for four nights and honestly had a great experience. The location is perfect, the restaurant was really good, and the staff were super friendly, polite and always happy to help. Our room was spacious, which was ideal for the three of us — especially with our 17-year-old son. The beds were large, super comfy, and the room was kept spotless thanks to the excellent daily housekeeping. The rooftop pool was a real highlight — a great spot to relax and enjoy the view. That said, there were just a couple of things that could definitely be improved. The Wi-Fi was pretty terrible — so bad that we ended up using mobile data most of the time. Also, the pool towels had quite a bad smell, which was a bit disappointing. Apart from these small issues, everything else was spot on, and we really enjoyed our stay. If they sort out the Wi-Fi and the towels, this hotel would be hard to beat!

Catherine Tsai

We stayed 6 days 5 nights at a beautiful three-bedroom penthouse at the Westin Resort in Malta, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The space was bright, spacious, and incredibly comfortable — perfect for our family. The large windows filled the rooms with natural light, and the view from the balcony was breathtaking Mediterranean Sea. We loved having a full kitchen, cozy living area, and plenty of room for everyone to relax. After long days exploring Malta, coming back to this peaceful and stylish space made our trip even more special. We’d happily stay here again!

1. Unauthorized (and unacceptable) use of my (a client's) credit card on my file by the hotel property front office staff and against my will/without my permission. Worse for a service I never ever asked for, 1 month and a half days, after departure from the property. The blatant disregard for client's privacy with regards to their credit card is appalling. The non-existent and zero attempts to communicate with the client (myself) long after my departure, and the lassie faire approach is not only unacceptable and unprofessional but it's in extreme poor taste. No remorse or apology has been received. Worse, neither a refund. This has never ever happened to me. If this can happen to a gold member, no guest is safe or immune from this. 2. The packed (no fresh pastries, no hot beverage (coffee or tea) etc.) breakfast of the hotel is the worst I have ever been given by any Marriott (and any other chain) ever. I ended up purchasing breakfast at the airport due as I had an early flight. It was horrible. 3. I was shocked not to meet any Director during my stay. This is the first time I have been to a Marriott hotel brand and not met, bumped into or interacted with any directors of the property. I found it extremely odd. 4. Inconsistency in hotel guest room, housekeeping. 5. The lack of variety (monotony) in meals especially for extended stay guests was evident. The same dishes were served daily during my entire stay at the main breakfast restaurant. It would be good to have a Maltese dish at the breakfast buffet for first time visitors to sample the local cuisine. There was none during my extended stay.

It's a truly beautiful hotel. The service is exceptionally friendly. The staff always greet you with a smile, which made us feel very welcome. The location is fantastic, right by the sea, offering stunning views and easy access to the water. The pool is heated during the colder months, which is a great touch. However, I highly recommend taking a dip in the sea during spring, it’s incredibly refreshing and adds a special touch to the experience. Overall, we felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout our stay.

Baert D’hauwers

We spent three days at The Westin Dragonara Resort with colleagues, and it was an excellent choice for both business and relaxation. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, offering beautiful views and all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end hotel. The staff is genuinely friendly, helpful, and professional – from check-in to check-out, we felt truly welcomed. The breakfast buffet is generous and high-quality, with a personal highlight being the toast Benedictine, perfectly prepared. The hotel bar is also worth mentioning: warm atmosphere, attentive service, and a great wine list with some refined selections. A unique bonus is the private jetty, which makes it easy to arrive by boat or plan sea excursions – a great extra, especially for groups or corporate events. In short: luxury, comfort, excellent service, and a stunning location. A top pick for both business and leisure!

The Westin in Malta is an absolutely beautiful property—elegant, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed. We stayed in their newest wing, which was gorgeous: modern, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. It really elevated the whole experience. The staff were also fantastic—very friendly and helpful from start to finish. A special thank-you to Sunny, who gave us a wonderful tour of the horse resort. He went above and beyond to take care of us, making sure everything was perfect with our room and our stay. His attention to detail and kindness truly stood out. Definitely recommend if you’re staying in Malta

Yecheng Shen

We had a fantastic experience at the Hilton Malta! We were pleasantly surprised and very grateful for our upgrade to a sea view room, which offered truly breathtaking views. The room itself was immaculately clean, making for a very comfortable stay. The hotel's facilities are excellent, especially the heated indoor pool and the impressive large outdoor pool. Its proximity to the town center made exploring incredibly convenient. A wonderful hotel all around!

Kangmin Roh

All the staff at the hotel are incredibly kind and welcoming. The service is exceptionally fast and precise. There are several pools, each offering an environment suitable for all age groups. I’ll never forget the beer and pizza by the pool—it was unforgettable. The hospitality shown by the hotel truly touched me and my family. Our room was very spacious, and the cleanliness was impeccable. Every member of the staff listens and empathizes with their guests. I sincerely hope to return before I die.

Angela Montgomery

Pristine hotel. Fabulous pools. Very attentive staff. Restaurant for evening meal was second to none. They have the most amazing chef! Sea view room and access to the executive suite were the icing on the cake. You must try this hotel.

Arthur NARDONE

The was our first visit to the hotel. The facilities could not be faulted from the inviting entrance and reception area to the bars and restaurants, the outdoor areas and the room. We were particularly impressed with the executive lounge which provide an excellent food and beverage service throughout the day. But by far the best thing about the hotel are the staff. Everyone we dealt with was polite, friendly and totally efficient often going over and above what we expected of them. Well done to everyone involved in making this hotel so inviting and pleasant to stay in, it made our holiday

Martijn Beniers

Fantastic stay at Hilton Malta! Perfect for families – spacious rooms, great pools, and super friendly staff. Kids loved the breakfast and beach area. We’ll definitely come back!

wiktor doktor

Very nice and well located hotel. Rooms rather not modern, but clean. Very nice and helpful service. Water in the inside pool rather colder. We have chosen an outdoor pool. Good food for breakfast. Prices in bar rather high.

Neil Brooking

My wife and I loved our time here. Great location, terrific customer service, lovely pool area. We really enjoyed the evening glass of wine on our balcony watching the ships, boats, yachts etc sailing by. We really loved the slightly old feel of the place, some have critized this but we found it vintage classy. Having travelled around the area, we think this is definitely a great if not one of the best locations, just far enough away from the main town and crowds, but only a few minutes on the very regular courtesy 'taxi'. Would definitely recommend.

Charley Kinghorn

Great reception on arrival including a refreshment. Speedy check in and old fashioned but very grand interior. Concierge service also available. Very good sized rooms and includes everything you could need, some may consider dated but fits with the theme of the hotel. Buffet style breakfast available. Some areas of the hotel like the pool bars not up and running as we have come out of season. The location is excellent, a mere 5-10 minute walk to the gate of Valletta, leading to the centre. Overall would recommend it, very pleasant stay.

Simon Hull

This hotel boasts an excellent location for exploring Valletta; however, the service unfortunately does not consistently meet the standards expected of a 5-star establishment. While the staff are generally pleasant, the service is frequently slow and can, at times, feel neglectful. Guests may experience periods of being overlooked. Breakfast presents a somewhat chaotic atmosphere, though the omelettes prepared at the two egg stations are commendable. The remainder of the buffet offers an adequate selection. However, getting a cup of coffee can be a challenge as staff appear to not be doing very much at all. Bar service is notably sluggish. While this may be attributed to a significant number of new staff members, it is an issue requiring attention. Tables are often left uncleared, and guests may find it more efficient to order drinks directly at the bar. Food available at the bar was tasty and well presented although again actually ordering is a challenge. Check out was disappointing with items charged to our room that we had not charged. Whilst they were removed promptly it was clear from the signatures they were for other people.

Alma Simmons

Overall this hotel is good but I would not say it was 5 star. The location is excellent but the rooms and decor are somewhat dated. Some staff were amazing but some were less than helpful and not of the calibre one would expect in a quality hotel. Although generally quiet there were disturbances from weddings taking place.
