Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands

Pros- Clean property, right next to beach, 7 restaurants serving good food, indoor and outdoor pool, great for families if staying in apartments, spacious apartments with full kitchen, laundry room and a shop on site, free parking. Cons- uncomfortable mattress in bedroom. Had backache.

This hotel is absolutely incredible! It has everything our family of 4 needed and even more. Exceeded our expectations by miles. The staff were amazing, polite, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. I particularly would like to thank 2 people for making our stay very enjoyable. Henri at breakfast- so funny, helpful and amazing at doing his job and Ankit, who was very kind and generous. There is so much to do inside the hotel. Also, there is a brilliant beach a few minutes walk away and a water sports company that we used twice. 3 hour boat ride is highly recommended. Sauna and an indoors swimming pool were also great. Taxis are quite cheap therefore worth taking. We went to Valetta and Mdina. Both beautiful and interesting. We would definitely recommend this hotel to families, couples and singles. It has everything if you want a passive or active holiday. An Italian restaurant was nice. The location of the hotel is a big plus as well! Breathtaking views!

Truly enjoyed our stay at the Radisson Blu! After two weeks of traveling around Sliema and Valletta, our weekend at the Blu was a peaceful and relaxing retreat. Attentive staff, pristine suite, wonderful breakfast buffet options and the pool area is huge with plenty of room for the kids on one end and adults only on the other. Tons of lounge chairs and the food at the pool snack bar was delicious! Try the Schwarma and the Moroccan kebabs! Convenient to Blue Grotto area and Gozo Ferry and a short Bolt/Uber to Mdina. I will stay here again when I return to Malta!

The hotel is in a very quiet part of Malta. You need to take taxi’s to go out and about. It’s a lovely hotel. The family room was amazing- kitchen, dining table, living room with sofa bed, bedroom and huge bathroom. The breakfast was nice. Nice pool, indoor pool and private beach. I do feel the private beach was filled with sunbeds living little sand for kids to play. I did find it strange there is no lifeguard at the pool or indoor pool.

This was my family’s and my 3rd summer back to Radisson Blu Golden Sands! We love going to this hotel & resort due to the location (it is not located in the touristy part of Malta, although there are tourist who stay like us). The hotel is impeccably clean. The hotel staff across the board are always friendly and welcoming! The hotel has the option for day trips, water excursions, & car rental all on site. There is a small grocery mart as well. The spa is a little pricey, but a nice way to treat yourself. There are 4-5 restaurants on the resort as well. Our favorite is Essence of India! Highly recommend this hote & resort!

Great place to spend time with your family. Great and friendly staff, nice selection of restaurants and a wonderful beach.

The sofa bed mattress was very uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep and asked for a replacement, they added a mattress. Playgroup for kids was very poorly organised and I lost my daughter as they moved her without letting me know. Broken cattle in the kitchen and tv not connected to the Internet. Also the sauna was off and the kids admitted to the spa.

Staff and food were generally very good however the hotel needs a refresh as a little dated in decor and bedroom quality too tired. Also kids club small and more activities needed for 7-12 year olds

Private beach was very nice. And the adult only pool was great…especially for those of us not traveling with children

The perfect location for a beach getaway. Mellieha is a more remote area so I suggest downloading the bolt app(similar to Uber) to make zipping around easy and more economical. (The usual taxis don’t seem to always use a meter and decide dates at their discretion) The room had a full kitchen so we made a trip to a nearby market for essentials and snacks. I cannot say enough about PRAKESH the concierge whom helped me arrange a last minute private boat to Comino islands. He planned it within the hour! Our tour the previous day had to skip the island drive by due to weather and we were leaving the next day. Prakash used his resources, found a very kind and knowledgeable charter boat driver who took our family of four to Crystal Lagoon & Blue Lagoon for a wonderful swim, paddle board and just sun time before we had to head to the airport for our flight back to Italy. Thank you!
