Westin Dragonara is a fabulous hotel, we stayed for a week with family. Food was really good with a varied choice (even kids were happy) and the rooms were large, beds were comfortable and cleaned daily. The hotel itself it lovely, the swimming pools are great and the abundance of sun loungers, towels and overall facilities was second to none. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Hotel was by far the best location and nicest of all the hotels we looked at. Many of the other larger hotels have large cranes and building sites directly next to them (Corinthia etc). So be prepared for the reality of beautiful sea views being spilt by constant building works across most of Malta. The westin facilities and pools however are great. We had a large suite. Kids club is only suitable for tiny toddlers. St Julian’s Bay and Paceville however are rotten smelling and dirty - thanks to all the young tourists in the strips and clubs and sewage. However, I’d still recommend the hotel highly. And just ensure you research well and pay for taxis to take you out to the nicer restaurants (Loa at St Paul’s Bay, Valletta etc). Plus with boat trips you needn’t spend much time in the strip - except to pop to the supermarket. The hotel staff were fantastic and friendly. Avoid the buffet dinner though - food wasn’t great and very overpriced. Breakfast and pool bar food was good though. Only downside was our room smelt slightly too. Which is a shame given the smell of all the communal areas is typical of a westin and usually delightful (except when they’re serving fish in the lobby walkway restaurant, which is bizarre choice). And the sofa bed wasn’t adequate for older children. Poor quality and uncomfortable for a week to sleep on.

Staff very friendly, Hotel itself was beautiful seems at first to be in a run down area but only a few mins walk away from the busy centre of St Julian's. Internet was patchy and that seemed to apply to the whole of Malta don''t expect to be 5g gaming. Malta is small and the city areas are packed so we just used e-cabs or bolt everywhere. Would have happily stayed longer, not the cheapest hotel but we were very satisfied with our stay.
