"Stayed at this hotel after initial holiday got cancelled due to Mount Etna erupting on the day of take off! I'd therefore not done much research, but knew roughly the area it was located in. Upgraded to a Deluxe King room with a pool view - would have liked to have a sea view but no rooms available for our stay sadly. The view was fine - balconies got afternoon sun. Room didn't suffer noise from corridors or other rooms, and outside noise was minimal. Air conditioning works very effectively and doesn't come on when balcony doors are open - which is a great environmental touch. Room itself was very nice - as one would expect from Marriott. Nice touches such as 'This Works' toiletries, and actual glasses in the room; but would have probably expected a bottle of water in the room fridge. Cleanliness of the entire hotel is amazing! Room was spotless and cleaned at least once each day, often twice - at turn down the room would often be refreshed again, and the room housekeeping member was lovely and friendly. When we booked in we made the hotel aware that this holiday was to celebrate my husband's 60th Birthday, and we were delighted when a bottle of 'Champagne' and a boxed slice of cake with a 'Happy Birthday' message, and card was left in the room for us - along with an ice bucket, pair of flutes etc. Staff overall in the hotel are a real positive - honestly they go out of their way to provide the best service. On the first morning at breakfast there was an issue with juice being available. the hotel manager was doing his morning rounds of greeting people and came to investigate why I was waiting. He instantly got me juice from the bar area, and each morning after this I was greeted, by name, by Sanju, who presented me with a glass of my preferred juice. Little things like this mean a lot and show that extra level of service that make a holiday memorable and special. We made use of the outdoor Lido area - loads of towels, lots of loungers available along with umbrella shades. Service at loungers via a button on the shades, and staff very polite in serving - despite not being able to source Ricard for us (but they tried!) Sadly we didn't make use of the outdoor pool - not heated and just not quite warm enough in October despite the weather. We also didn't make use of the indoor pool due to the depth and the layout - it's quite dropped down and there basically isn't a way of 'holding on' if you are less confident in the water. We only ate breakfast in the hotel - each morning our request for a 'quieter' table was arranged and we had a variety of nicely tucked away tables - the dining area is made up of several areas, so it's easy to find one of the smaller sections with fewer tables. The food choices were very good - daily omelette station, full range of cooked foods, including a daily 'special' - such as Chinese/Indian style. Always a full range of pastries, waffles, pancakes, muffins. Always a good range of cheeses, hams, olives, hummus etc. A rather limited cereal selection. Plenty of yoghurts, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit - both sliced and whole. Bread selection was varied each day as well as standard sliced bread for toast. Fruit juice via a machine, and also fresh squeezed orange juice via one of those machines filled with actual oranges. Fresh and flavoured chilled waters, sparkling water, non-dairy milks and Prosecco all available and unlimited. Coffeee and tea always offered upon seating, but espresso and lattes etc available from several machines (and yes, they have espresso cups and saucers!) There are also 'take out' style lidded cups. Lifts in the hotel work via room key cards - scan and it allocates a lift based on where you are going to. It's generally a great system, but falls a bit short at busier times when 18 people all seem to get allocated the same of the 4 lifts - and only 6 people can fit in a lift! But, other than a couple of occasions it works very effectively. Our stay at this hotel felt very special and although it wasn't our intended destination, we'd very happily consider this as a first choice of holiday destination in the future, and would 100% recommend this hotel."

"We had a wonderful 5 nights stay at the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa! The hotel was beautiful, comfortable, and welcoming, but what truly made our experience special was the exceptional staff. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. Their warmth and outstanding hospitality made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. We would like to mention Chakra, the concierge who helped us with the tours and itinerary. He made sure we were on the tour bus even on his day off. The hotel provided a relaxing atmosphere and was a lovely place to unwind after exploring beautiful Malta. We truly appreciated the excellent service and the care shown by the team. Thank you for making our stay so special! We would happily recommend this hotel and would love to return."

"Another Wonderful Stay at the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa This was our second visit to the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa, and once again, we absolutely loved it! The location is perfect for us — peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to enjoy the wonderful bars and restaurants around St Julian’s Bay. Our room was fabulous, and we were lucky enough to have a beautiful balcony with a lovely view across Balluta Bay. For us, though, the best part of returning was the incredibly warm welcome we received from some of the staff who remembered us from our visit last year. Sanju greeted us with a smile every morning at breakfast. She was always so helpful and attentive, and always took the time to come over for a chat. It was genuinely lovely to be remembered and made to feel so welcome. We also have to give a special mention to Rwhan and Ashique at the pool bar, who remembered us from last year and once again couldn’t do enough to make our stay special. We spent most days around the pool and usually had lunch there, and both of them made sure our time was relaxing, enjoyable and fun. Rwhan was always smiling and laughing and made some of the most delicious cocktails! 🍹 His warmth and personality really added to our holiday. The service we received from the staff was quite simply the best we have experienced at any hotel we have stayed at around Europe. It is those personal touches and the genuine friendliness of the staff that make the Marriott feel so special. We have already decided that we will be returning again next year — and we can’t wait to see everyone again! Thank you to the whole team for another wonderful stay. ❤️ Much love from Deb and Steve from Wales.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿"
