Room not ready by 3pm. Rubbish. Concierge wouldn’t pick up the phone for luggage when leaving. Bought down 5 bags myself. Rubbish. Bought lunch when room wasn’t ready. My wife asked for ice 3 times for her drink before it was finally bought. I paid €50 cash for a €28.50 bill. Waited 10 minutes for waiter to come with change. Eventually went myself. The staffing and service focus on this hotel does even cut the mustard for 3-star.

An absolute gem of a resort in Malta. Everything about this resort and our stay was absolutely perfect. The rooms were very spacious and the staff were excellent. I would like to give special thanks to Lama who kindly gave us an upgrade as we were celebrating our anniversary and Josef who provided us with all the information required during our stay and going around throughout our stay. Dining options were plenty and also very close to shops, bars and amenities. A special mention to all the housekeeping staff who kept our room spotless during our stay. Last but not the least was an amazing breakfast and the variety of options they served. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this resort.

I like to stay at Westin Hotels when I travel because I can rely on their standard across the board. This Westin was no different, with that being said due to the fact this hotel sits beside the sea it means for some mildew smells and LOTS of humidity in the rooms. But the towels and lines never had a smell. The food we had at the restaurants was always perfectly fine and the service was excellent. Very family friendly hotel. Lovely views from every single point and overall a perfect holiday. Would stay here again if I got the chance!

When we arrived, we were initially disappointed because we had booked a sea view room but were given a garden view room instead. We arrived at 3 AM, which made the situation less pleasant. However, the following day, we were offered a different room, but we declined as we had already settled in. Despite this initial misunderstanding, our stay turned out to be excellent. The staff members were incredibly kind and attentive. The sun beds were outstanding, providing an unforgettable view. The kindness of the staff was a significant asset to the hotel. Special thanks to Sunny for ensuring we had a great experience. We will definitely be coming back.
