January 2025 - A Great Place to Start The Year

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks ago
We are repeat visitors to the Westin, a beautiful building brought to life by its incredible team. Below is a copy of the email I sent to the team upon departure, so you can see I say the same to them directly as I would post on here:

"Despite the challenges leaving the UK on Monday, we didn’t arrive at the hotel until 1130pm but were greeted by the attached cake and message. We are so humbled and so grateful, it was a fantastic surprise.

Even with new faces on the Check In Desk, the welcome is always warm and we feel so at home.

Whilst the likes of Josef are having some well deserved vacation time, we still managed to meet for a coffee and Tony / Voja we have managed to catch up with and they all create a fantastic “first impression” of the hotel as you arrive.

To our incredible and special friend, Fabio – what a legend of a man he is – thank you for everything you have done this week. On behalf of the “guests of the Westin” can we nominate him for MANAGER OF THE YEAR at the staff presentation event on Saturday! He is so deserving and the team down at Breakfast do a wonderful job.

Great to see Santos be promoted, to see Suru and her partner married, to catch up with Adrain and Sean Paul, so many names and people but we love and appreciate each one of them and are proud to call them “family”.

Jason was a lifesaver, providing some true technical expertise to allow me to watch my beloved Liverpool on Wednesday night - I cannot thank you enough though if you can fix the score next time so we win, that would be perfect 😊

We have been in the Executive Lounge a lot of the week and been looked after superbly. Jeffrey is a star and this week has been wonderfully supported by Kriti and Sabu whilst he has been off, thank you to all of them.

The room has been kept immaculate by the housekeeping team, they do a great job and work so hard.

Finally, a thank you to Sunny and Lama, great ambassadors and it has been a pleasure talking with them throughout the week.

Once again, a week of total relaxation at the Westin where your amazing team are always prepared to go above and beyond – thank you all once again."

I cannot speak more highly of the Westin and of the Team - truly special.

The weather in January is lovely, warm and sunny most days though it is quite cool at night - so my advise is Tshirt and jeans through the day with a jacket / hoodie for the evening.

There is always plenty to do - this time we visited Teatru Manoel, well worth a visit and it is like a step back in time when inside with some fascinating history.

Valletta, Sliema, Mosta were our usual places to visit - Valletta is my favourite city on the planet with a magical calm and beauty.

For all those wishing to visit the island - please respect the Maltese, they are the lifeblood of the island. There is so much culture and history, so much for you to explore and visit. The concierge team at the hotel will advise and guide you always, they are brilliant people and so helpful.

We return in June and cannot wait to see our friends again.

We went with family and friends over new year and birthday. It was such a lovely experience - the hotel is the best located of all the resorts around, and the staff is all amazing! Special shout out to Sunny the Operations Manager who was so helpful and very attentive to detail! Also special shout out to George at the Concierge - he went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! Our cleaning lady was also very very kind and patient with my requests. We stayed in a Luxury Bay Suite - apart from the Presidential suites these were the best room types as they are spacious, at a quiet new built wing and have two full bathrooms! Not to mention the magnificent view! Something that struck me was that the room service was excellent - they delivered the food in reasonable time and made sure to follow up our experience after each delivery. On my birthday and during new year the hotel also provided some special surprised for the guests which is so nice - the extra small touches shows that the hotel really cares about their customers and not just in it to make money. I also find that the prices are overall for a five star resort quite reasonable. The minibar especially was not over the top expensive. I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about my 10 day stay. Thank you so luch Westin Dragonara for your wonderful hospitality. We’ll definately be back!

It’s a very nice hotel, but it is a huge property. The views from the hotel were great. The pool was very nice. The breakfast was amazing. They had a made to order omelette station and waffle station. The beds were fairly comfortable and so were the pillows. Everything was clean.

Just back from four nights at the Westin Dragonara hotel. Had a very enjoyable break in Malta. The hotel is perfectly located by the sea. You are close to everything but also once in the hotel you feel as if you are in an island of calm. The breakfast buffet offers a wide choice of dishes and the food at the bar was fresh and tasty. Our room had two queen beds which were very comfortable.
The hotel has a large gym and spa area so after a hard days sightseeing it was good to relax. Special thanks to Andrii Putria for assistance with reservations and to Joseph the concierge for arranging tour guide to take us to Gozo at the last minute.

Room tip: Make sure to use the outdoor pool as it is heated. We were swimming in January

A very good hotel! Spacious, clean, tidy. Very pleasant and helpful, high-level service and staff, excellent room service. The room has everything you need, bathroom accessories, robes, a normal hair dryer. The heated outdoor pool is suitable for use in winter. Very good breakfast, large selection, fresh and good quality, tasty food. Also excellent hotel restaurants, good food, cozy environment, live piano music on Sunday evening. We were there during the festive period, the hotel was beautifully decorated. I really liked it, I can't imagine what else you could wish for.
