    Location and Access: Dragonara Casino, nestled in St. Julians, Malta, is an easy 20-minute drive or a 45-minute bus ride from the international airport. Taxis cost around 20 Euros, while the bus offers a cheaper option at around 3 Euros. Dragonara's serene location on the peninsula, away from St. Julians' bustling nightlife, offers a less crowded atmosphere. For a more family-friendly and cleaner stay, consider basing yourself in Valletta, which provides easy bus access to explore the entire island.

    Game Options: The poker scene at Dragonara Casino is limited in terms of hours and variety. Games kick off in the evenings, with a few cash tables and small tournaments. The poker offering might seem modest compared to Malta's reputation as a poker hotspot, but it suits the island's population. Cash games mainly feature 1/2 euro and 2/5 euro no-limit Texas Hold'em. While tournaments are small, they are affordable and cater to novices.

    Service and Experience: Finding the poker room within the casino can be a bit tricky, but once discovered, it's a hidden gem. Situated in an indoor patio with panoramic windows overlooking a breathtaking Maltese bay, the poker room offers a unique and stunning ambiance. Staff, including dealers and floor managers, are professional and well-dressed. I enjoyed the complimentary food and non-alcoholic drinks which were available.

    Rake and Rewards: The cash table rake is reasonable at 4%, but the high cap of 15 Euros can eat into big pots. Tournaments have a more challenging rake structure, particularly for low buy-ins. There are no jackpots or high hand bonuses, but tips for staff are appreciated. Despite the rake, Dragonara's charm compensates for it.

    Dragonara Casino, despite its limited poker offerings, showcases what can be achieved with attention to detail. It offers a delightful and picturesque setting, excellent service, and a touch of class. While not a poker mecca, it's an ideal spot for a night of poker or a short visit to Malta.

    one of the most beautiful areas of St.Julien and not only...an oasis of luxury and comfort, offered by the design and decoration around the water...full of beautiful boats, boats that can be rented or even bought, jet ski right at the exit from the bay...and in the bay the water is perfect for scuba diving or swimming...

    A place for the youngsters. I’m 40 years too old to give this place a proper review. (I’m 50). To me it’s a tacky horrible dump - designed only to get young people drunk on watered down sugar infested rubbish. Still, if you like that sort of thing it’s great. But just walking though made me itch.

    St. Geroge's bay - in the heart of St Julians, it is a very nice spot for those who want to take a swim in the warm waters of the Mediterranean sea.
    Here you can find one of the few sandy beaches in Malta, with a public beach and the "private" beach of the InterContinental hotel.
    You can walk around the bay if you want ... the promenade can be very nice for a stroll.
    For those of you into water sport - there is a dive center there too.
    Around the bay there are bars and restaurants - where you have a cold beer, some refreshment or dine...
    Overall a very nice spot in the heart of St. Julians.

    This church looks beautiful from the outside. I did not visit inside, but the sight of it on the Calluta Bay is gorgeous. Even if just to walk by, it is worth it.

    Beautiful lactation for Sunday mass. It gets hot in summer so try to find a spot near a fan which they have several. English mass is at 11:00 AM.

    We stayed in Balluta Bay at the Marriott. It’s very picturesque! The little sandy beach is great to swim from as the bottom is sandy, free stones and kind to your feet! The water is shallow, clear and warm. There are plenty of great places to dine and drink at and the place comes alive at night. Very vibrant! We loved staying at the Marriott and the bay, beach and surrounding area are lovely.

    Good size of casino, good slot machines, smoking and non smoking areas, and that was the only casino that offered us free drinks while you play.

    Spring '24 Poker Tournament was real fun and well run.
    Doesn't get all five stars because a very few of the bar and cash Poker staff were uptight and bit rude. Otherwise staff were really good especially door staff.

    There are bars an clubs either side of the steps. Fairly quiet when we visited in October but extremely busy/ raucous in the height of summer.

    Amazing đź‘Śđź‘Śđź‘Śđź‘Śđź‘Ś place!
    Didn’t know what to expect at first because we was just walking by for some drinks. However, we got very positive surprised. The bartender made very tasty cocktails and a the staff was supernice. Fast on the floor and they also took time to talk to us since it was our first time. The night we visited they were playing “rock” music. We asked if we could make some request songs,( club music/ electronic) and was told No at first. But after a while the manager came and asked what we wanted to listen to… that really made our night,

    It ended up us staying for 2.5 hours…and we was just going in for 1-2drinks in the beginning.
    This is a small and very cozy place and I can really recommend it. Ask for the bartender Sito, he will make the best cocktails 🍸 for you.
