Travelled to Malta as a family the last week in March. The Dragonara made for a perfect stay, the location is great, lots of restaurants nearby, even a good grocery store down the street. We rented a car and drove all over the island and day-tripped to Gozo. You would need to Uber, bus or drive to go to Valletta as it's too far of a walk from the Hotel. Our room was spacious and we thoroughly enjoyed the plunge pool and spacious patio. The staff were friendly and attentive, kept the place spotless and well stocked with water, towels, coffee etc... We made use of the large gym daily and thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet which had everything under the sun! Would highly recommend this property and Malta is such an amazing destination, already dreaming of returning.

Really lovely staying at the Westin Hotel Malta. As soon as we entered, we felt at ease. The atmosphere created was amazing and luxurious. Absolutely love hotels like this! The breakfast was amazing too! Good transport links and food places around the hotel. Best food place we ate at was Gozitan restaurant. Everyone was polite, helpful and friendly at this hotel. We'd definitely love to visit again!

I think overall - the hotel was good. We just have one feedback for the room. The AC in the room was not working - so at night, it was very hot. We tried to lower the temperature numerous times and it didn’t work.

Before arriving I was in email contact with Joseph, the concierge whom answered every question, arranged a van from the hotel. During the trip our companion broke her wrist and was ambulance driven to the hospital where her and her husband sat in Limbo for 4 hours. I called Joseph whom explained while healthcare was good in Malta, the state run hospital was short handed and could be a full day disaster; instead he suggested a private hospital we switched to whom triaged, xrayed, diagnosed and cast her arm in 2hours total! Joseph made a bad situation so much better. Sunny and the breakfast staff were stellar as was the maids, grounds keepers and Amy in reception whom we purchased a very fair priced upgrade for the room. We have traveled all over the world and this property was perhaps the best we had ever been. It wasn’t the fancy stone, spacious rooms, beautiful pools though they were certainly present; it was the people who made the difference. I will take the accounts of my experience back with me to North East Ford as the Dragonara exemplifies everything we stand for. Lann Rubin II Founder North East Ford North East Service Center

It was right on the water, with a perfect view. The breakfast buffet had a endless variety of selections. The location of the hotel was perfect. It was in walking distance of restaurants and the mall. The hotel coordinated a great half day tour that was informative and showed great views of the island. We will definately return for another AMAZING Vacation
