Great hotel for a short family break in the Mediterranean sun!

The Westin Dragonara was a lovely oasis in the scorching heat of Malta, a beautiful country in and of itself with lots of historic monuments and scenery to offer history buffs and families. We stayed in a junior suite under a 4-day, 3 night Babymoon package with our twoyear old (second child due in Sep) for our last trip abroad. Malta was the perfect quick getaway from London via direct flights; the hotel was luxurious yet reaonably priced and family friendly. The lobby was stunning as were the views of the Mediterranean from our two balconies. The room itself was spacious, probably 400 to 500 sq feet. The concierge did a fabulous job helping us book a babysitter for one night out and making reservations for us at de Mondien, the only Relaix and Chateaux restaurant in Malta, in the beautiful walled city of Mdina. The only drawback to the hotel was the inconsistent quality of the food; buffet breakfasts and room service were great but lunch and other meals were subpart. Overall, we'd recommend this as an easy, not too expensive and very fun short weekend break for young families looking to escape the hustle of London and the UK.

If you don't have children and are looking for a nice hotel to stay; don't go!
From the early morning on, we thought the air-alarm was going off,for all the screaming of the children. At any time the least diaperpoopers we saw were about 20. The whole poolarea was infested with screaming and crying children.
The whole hotel is focused towards parents and children; other couples are totally forgotten about. In the evening the bar is empty and the quadro restaurant is very often rented out to third parties. Not to mention that the bar on the beach is closed when it should be openened!
This all demoting the hotel to a three star hotel!
Caught between the 5 years olds inside and the 17 years old outside the wall, the whole hotel starts to feels like a prison.
The whole island is not up to speed with the rest of Europe,feels like a cheap carnaval, and there is almost nothing to do for peoples in their thirties. The only good place was a restaurant called Al Mollo.
So,if you are thirty plus and have some money to spent; stay away!

The hotel and staff were unbelievable...they treated us like royalty and we are anything but an ordinary family. We were given a beautiful room with the best and warmest staff we have ever experienced in staying at a hotel. We first went to beautiful Italy and had a great time, but just the stay at the Westin Dragonara Hotel for just a few days was better than 2 weeks in Italy! Malta is a beautiful country, where my husband came from before coming to the USA, and the feeling you get at the hotel is better than any hotel I have stayed at in the USA. Staff, restaurant and management are superb along with a beautiful decorated hotel and wonderful beach area with many recreational things to do. My son was 17, but there were many things for small children to participate in along with child care so any adult can have some time to themselves and the kids having fun. It is a beautiful hotel and on a wonderful and lovely location on the water. If I could ever stay at another hotel, it would be the Westin Dragonara.

My partner and I have just returned after spending 1 week at the resort. Arrived at 1am to a very warm welcome from 24hr reception
The room was spacious well airconditioned and very clean. Comfortable beds and all room amenities expected.
Breakfast buffet had a great choice but on most occasions the food in the chaffing dishes was cold.
The pool and sea bathing facilities were excellent as well as the service from the pool bars. The beverage prices are very expensive eg Pint of beer 5.85 euro compared to 2.90 at most of the outlets in and around St julians.
Restaurants also very expensive and food average.Quadro`s possibly the better. Some great restuarants outside of the complex namely La dolce vita and Bouzouki great food at reasonable prices.
What sets this hotel apart is the excellent and friendly staff( where nothing is too much trouble )as well as the location. I would definitely return to the hotel as my base but would eat and drink in the local restaurants

I had the opportunity to stay in the Westin Dragonara Resort in Malta in Feb and March of 2008. All in all, we spent 22 days there on business.
I would rate this hotel as outstanding:
- beautiful hotel
- beautiful view of the Med
- excellent staff. They always went out of their way to be helpful.
- excllent resturants on location
- short walk to the downtown mall and a lot of great restaurants very close to the hotel
- casino just a short walk from the hotel
- even if you are there on business, make sure you get out and see the sights. What a great history. I have to admit I didn't know alot about Malta and getting to know it's fascinating history was a great treat.
