The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta

The Westin Dragonara Resort, Malta

10/10 Excellent
"I absolutely loved this hotel and would return in a heartbeat. The staff was incredibly kind and friendly, the food was amazing, and the service by the pool was excellent. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. Honestly, I have no complaints. Everything about this resort was great, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. I would absolutely stay here again. 10/10!"

10/10 Excellent
"My overall stay at Hyatt Centric was excellent! The hotel was very clean, modern, and centrally located, which made it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and other nearby attractions. Housekeeping came daily, and I had the pleasure of meeting Angel, who cleaned my room. She was an exceptional housekeeper. She was friendly, attentive, and did a wonderful job keeping everything spotless. The front desk staff was also extremely helpful and always greeted me with a smile. The only downside was that the outdoor pool was always very crowded, so unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to enjoy it. However, I visited during a busy season, so I completely understand, and this was certainly not the hotel’s fault. I did book a spa treatment during my stay, which gave me access to the spa amenities, including the indoor pool, so I was still able to enjoy some relaxing pool time. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would absolutely stay at Hyatt Centric again. The cleanliness, location, and excellent staff made it a great choice!"

8/10 Good
"We had a very pleasant stay at St. Verdi Marina Bay. The pool and overall facilities were well maintained, and the hotel’s location was excellent, staff was amazing. There were also a variety of nearby halal dining options as well as shopping malls, which made the stay particularly convenient for our family. The main drawback was the cleanliness of the room. It appeared that the floors had not been thoroughly swept or brushed prior to mopping, as there was still visible dirt beneath the bed and along the edges of the walls. Aside from this issue, the rest of the experience was very positive, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With improved attention to housekeeping standards, the hotel would offer an excellent overall experience."
