I had a fantastic stay at the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa. The room was spacious, modern, and extremely comfortable, with thoughtful details that made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The spa was a standout — peaceful, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding.
One of my favorite features was the rooftop area, which offers beautiful views and a great atmosphere, especially around sunset. The location in St. Julian’s is ideal: close to restaurants, shops, and the waterfront, while still feeling calm and upscale.
Overall, this hotel strikes a great balance between luxury, comfort, and location. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Malta.
