This was our second stay at the Westin. Everything was excellent. A sea view is a must. The breakfast layout was very good. The only negative is that there should be a breakfast area devoted to adults only as the areas with children were very noisy. We were asked if we would like to breakfast in the "quiet area" but that was only somewhat successful as there were children in that area as well.

We came to the Western Dragonara in 2023 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We returned again March 2025 and was not disappointed. Lovely professional and welcoming staff. Beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Always cleaning and making the hotel lovely. Plenty of fresh choice everyday for breakfast. All the staff are so friendly and chatty. Highly recommend Palios for food. We will be back for sure next year.

A Dream Stay at the Westin Dragonara Resort – Unpa

Our stay at the Westin Dragonara Resort was extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and attentiveness that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Every single detail was taken care of with precision and care – from the seamless check-in, beautiful and clean room, amenities, and pool-- we enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Whether it was room service, laundry, or simply the small personal touches, the team went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing less than perfection. What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible staff—each and every team member is thoughtful, kind, and genuinely invested in making your experience special. Their dedication to hospitality shines through in everything they do, making you feel valued and cared for every step of the way. We are beyond grateful that we chose the Westin Dragonara Resort, and we cannot wait to return for another stay in paradise! If you're considering a visit to Malta, this hotel is an absolute must!
