What travelers are saying
- Poker Room ReviewSydney, Australia16 contributionsLocation 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.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- N HLeighton Buzzard, UK8 contributionsSpring '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.

- Jan L11 contributionsAmazing 👌👌👌👌👌 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.Written January 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We visited on a Friday night and had a wonderful night- it was a delightful change from the main area of noise, commercial loud pop and teenagers!
The crowd is older people, drinks are not watered down, music is good, no one hassles you and you have room to sit down at tables and talk.
We paid an entrance fee of €15, it did get us a free glass of Prosecco which was appreciated!
The staff were ok, no one was overly friendly or rude. Security staff were attentive and always watching the outdoor smoking area.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike M2 contributionsI had the pleasure of visiting SHANTEO Tea Boutique, and it was an absolute delight! The shop offers an impressive variety of premium black teas, each with its own distinct and rich flavor profile. Whether you're a seasoned tea connoisseur or a casual drinker, there's something for everyone here. I highly recommend trying their signature blends—you won’t be disappointed!
In addition to the teas, I was blown away by the Orangettes and Macadamia Nuts coated in chocolate. The combination of the rich, smooth chocolate and the crunch of the macadamia nuts was heavenly. And the Orangettes—citrusy and refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness—were the perfect treat to complement my tea.
The atmosphere of the boutique is cozy and inviting, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire experience even more enjoyable.Written December 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CultureVultureCambCambridge, UK774 contributionsWent to see a Maltese film (with English subtiltes) one rainy afternoon. Comfortable seating and a good auditorium. Staff were helpful in all the right ways. There's a part bar to take in drinks but only beer, no wine available (cinemas often solve this with those mini bottles). Not too many ads/trailers at the start, then when fully immersed in the film there was a 10 minute interval - I think this may be standard pratice in Malta as I had a similar experience at the Embassy.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
