hotel is in an excellent position. Everything about the hotel was fantastic. The area across from the hotel, Paceville, is not good. Dirty a full of take aways , clubs and noisy bars. This is not a reflection on the hotel which is away from any noise and has fabulous facilities.

Amazing hotel beautiful views from all directions. It was easy to walk to tons of places for food or just for drinks. The hop on hop off bus makes a stop here so if you want to Tour Malta, it’s the perfect location. The staff was phenomenal. They were so kind and so helpful. Super fun. They were easy to joke around with and made my stay really comfortable. My only complaints which is not really anyone’s fault , is that to order a bolt or Uber the Westin wifi doesn’t work. They have it set up that way, so you have to use your own cellular data or pay their Westin car fares, which are double the bolt prices. I will say, though that when I had an issue with this, the staff member himself booked me a vehicle using his bolt because I was not happy with price surcharge to use Westins chauffeur service. The food was also amazing. I have no complaints. I would stay here again.

The hotel has a fantastic location, with plenty of restaurants, shopping streets, and stores nearby. The property itself is large and even has its own beach, where guests can swim in the sea, as well as a nice pool — more than enough to enjoy. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The only small downside was that the room ventilation wasn’t ideal; the bathroom moisture didn’t clear out easily, and the sheets and bedding felt a bit damp, which might also be due to the local climate. Overall, however, our stay was very pleasant and we had a great experience.

An absolutely stunning hotel, amazing service from the staff, lovely choice of pools and beach areas, restaurants amazing with lots of food choice, staff are so friendly and helpful. Stayed here solo for 4 nights and wish it was longer, the views and atmosphere of this hotel are beautiful, it’s comfortable, you have everything you could need. Guests are also extremely pleasant and I had the most wonderful stay. Hotel is very classy and the piano bar is a lovely touch. The staff are incredible in every area including the restaurants, round the pool, cleaning, front desk and walking around, everyone was so polite. Highly recommend visiting (one thing to be aware of is the area around the hotel isn’t the nicest which is completely out of the hotels control but just to note). Perfect stay; thank you
