Malta Marriott Resort & Spa

"The Marriott is a lovely hotel and the service from all staff was excellent, particularly reception, the concierge and porters and Sanju in the breakfast buffet. There were minor niggles such as our room not being serviced until after 4pm on some occasions which was inconvenient. Sometimes the turn down service came less than 2 hours later before we had finished getting ready to go out for dinner! First world problems I know. As others have commented there is a lack of drawer and hanging space. The air con was great , easily adjusted and coped in very hot temperatures. The Atrio bar was disappointing as all the tables with a view over the bay were reserved for diners. Those who just wanted a drink were relegated to low uncomfortable seats at the back with no view. We had a seaview deluxe room which was great but no sun on the balcony after midday. St Juliens has changed a lot since we last visited Malta 16 years ago. It is very much a youngsters place now, mainly noisy cocktail bars and late night venues. Not for us as seniors! It was hard to find somewhere for a quiet drink. Lots of nice restaurants but you need to book. Valletta was also incredibly busy especially when cruise ships were in which is nearly every day. Whilst it is still a fascinating city with wonderful historic places of interest I'm not sure we will return."

"Stayed here for our anniversary 1st week in June Location is just between st Julian’s and sliema overlooking Balluta bay. Loads of restaurants and bars nearby and within walking distance of the livelier parts of st Julian’s if you like that sort of thing Room : we had a deluxe queen double with balcony and sea view on the 10th floor with glorious views over Balluta bay. Room was really spacious but maybe slightly lacking in storage space with just one smallish wardrobe available. Complimentary bottle of wine was waiting for us on arrival Staff are superb really helpful. Courteous and efficient. Concierge and reception staff were particularly good and Basil at the rooftop pool bar was always friendly and chatty. Also the guy on the omelette station was very friendly and he makes THE best omelette I’ve ever had. Didn’t catch his name as he didn’t have a name tag but he was there every morning. Anytime we encountered staff members in the lift or in corridors they always engage and asked us how our stay was going. We also requested a late check out on the last day and the facilitated this with no extra charge. Facilities are superb 3 pools, one indoor and 2 outdoors there was always Sunbeds available no matter the time of day we arrived and very good food and drink options at both the rooftop pool bar and the larger Cala lido pool bar. Indoor pool has a sauna steam room and jacuzzi and was never too busy. Well stocked gym with plenty of cardio machines. Huge choice at the breakfast buffet with loads of fresh fruit and fresh orange juice no queues either and as mentioned already the omelettes are particularly good and you can select your own ingredients from a large choice The main strip restaurant also had great options for lunch or dinner and cocktails in a nice outdoor terrace setting. Plenty of alternative options nearby for breakfast lunch or dinner too I would recommend trying Sunday in Scotland which is next to the hotel on the beach side lovely coffee and cakes here too. Highly recommend this hotel"
