Just a few meter away from one of the best beaches in Malta (with private beach for guests) Great views Service and staff is truly 5 star level, everybody is nice and smiling. Everything you need in the room, even cooking facilities, irons and ironing board, etc. Beautiful pools, Gym more than OK Nice restaurants A lot of space, it never felt crowded Very quiet, also in rooms on the ‘country’ side
the furniture in the room is dated and shows several signs of wear, it’s a pity because the first impact is underwhelming, but then, we didn’t stay long in the room and enjoyed the rest of this excellent hotel. The location is isolated, but we moved around with uber and it was never too long a journey. That being said it is for sure a better fit if you are looking for a beach vacation rather than a cultural visit.

Breakfast had a great spread! Bonus was the fantastic Indian Restaurant, Essence and the Italian restaurant with superb vegetarian dishes. The staff like Manish and Fazwan and many others treated us extremely well. The reception staff like Millie and Gerald and all others also extremely courteous. Access to private beach is an awesome feature that we really enjoyed going for walks in the morning. We had a good Spa experience as well.
Can’t see much for improvement in the hotel at all. One shocking incident was the high commission rate charged by the Euronet ATM when I withdrew cash. This is unacceptable!

Was a beautiful, relaxing stay, with friendly helpful staff, will definitely return.
The only thing i didn’t like was how the Maltese managers treat the staff. I’ve seen this appalling behaviour at many establishments in Malta & Gozo now & its v shocking & disappointing to see & hear how they exploit & treat the people working for them. Please tip staff DIRECT also & to their hand or they wont be allowed to keep it. 🙏 Maltese - please think about updating your behaviour towards your workers, it puts a bad name in Raddison’s.

The hotel is located a bit away from the towns and cities, so think about transportation. Otherwise the location is nice - on a cliff, nice view if you are located on the sea side. The hotel staff, reception, cleaning staff are really helpfull, friendly and professional. Mr. Henri from the Flavours restaurant was something extra - complementary champagne, always kind, helpful, polite and curteous. The services are decent - small gym, small deli, laundry (extra pay), game’s room (extra pay). Pools (small indoor and three small outdoor) are decent as well. Sauna is for 4 people but we did not like windows (feels like you are on display, when people are walking pass the sauna). The Spa is decent but a bit overpriced. The restaurants have good variety of food, tasty but not exquisite, and again a bit overpriced (dinner for 3 at Flavours costs round 110€). No complaints regarding the rooms - comfortable with kitchenette with utensils and pots, small fridge (with a small icebox compartment), microwave and sink. Lastly the private beach is most of the times nice (sand, but can also have a bit much seaweed), so we went further up the coast line - no seaweed and almost no people.

Great suite/family room layout. Team of outstanding, international, friendly and competent staff from the reception to the restaurant and cleaning staff. All had a smile and all could not be more helpful. Easy beach access, nice pools and gym.
We went in Feb so keep that in mind when reading the following. Two of the restaurants were closed due to low occupancy. We found the kids menu pricing a bit high. Firstly your a bit stuck for options, nothing much close by especially for dinner. Our kids eat different things so it was 25 euro for two kids dishes that they only eat half of being 4 and 6 years old. We asked for a pasta, no sauce, half portion. Still got charged 11 euro for it, so full price for a standard portion. Indoor pool is on the cold side for Feb. Would be nicer for all if it was 1-2 deg warmer. It was one of our criteria for booking here in Feb. Shop was poorly stocked bllut ok for a bottle of water.

The location, first of all is ideal for families with kids that want to go the beach. The hotel is impressive, although is not a new one and it has accommodated many tourits. Still, the location on the beach and having also its private beach (you literally take the elevator to the beach!) is priceless! The cleanliness is top, one can see it’s a priority. Breakfast is great, anyone, even the worst of Grinch can find something to eat. There is a pletora of good food, healthy food, fruits, cookies, drinks, anything one can think of one can surely find at breakfast. The staff is all so nice snd smiling all the time and ready to assist you in whatever you may need. Everyone is so friendly! This hotel offers you everything you may need for a relaxing stay at the seaside: different restaurants, live music, outdoor pools, indoor pool, kids pool, sauna, massage, daily activities with / for the kids, inside shops, games room, you name it and they have it! We loved our stay and we highly recommend it!

The sea view is priceless. Staff is very professional and courteous... Reuests were answered/arranged promptly. Breakfast is pretty nice buffet selection, broad but sometimes lacking variations (same things almost every day) Some of the room/equipment show a bit of aging but well maintained. The location of the hotel is great for hiking in neighboring tracks, super green and lush vegetation during spring, far from the urban mess of Malta south-east. Also close to ferry to magic island Gozo. Still the airport is only 30 minutes with sone traffic jams. Absolutely kid friendly!

We are worldwide traveller's family and we liked stay in your hotel very much. Firstly I booked 4 nights - that was our plan. Later my daughter with her 2 years old baby boy has decided to stay for another 3 nights, I had to go back because of my work and finally they stayd for 2 weeks. Hotel staff is excelent, very kind and helfpul, kids friendly, very nice bfst with lots of varietes to choose from, indoor swimming pool good size and saunas, amazing sea view from our room, quiet place to sleep, far from main road, not disturbing traffic, easy check in and check out, very clean room, great service. Thank you very much, will be back soon.
Outdoor swimming pool closed - it was March but could be opened if heated, not enough playing facilities for children, not playing open air area, just small slide and little house. Kids club is closed from 4 p.m.. Reccommending to make more playing facilities for children because it is not " adults only" hotel. Thank you very much.

I originally booked a one bedroom suite with jacuzzi, on arrival i was advised i will be placed in sands tower for two days and then upgraded to the four bedroom penthouse suite with jacuzzi. Both suites amazing, i was left cakes and balloons in the room for my birthday. Due to being moved rooms we lost a day with our room and luggage. Rachel honoured us a late check out as we had an evening flight - this was great as it gave us time to complete water activities at Aqua Marine and get ready in the evening in the comfort of our room. This is our second time staying at Raddison, i highly recommend. The cleanliness, facilities, the rooms and the servixe you cannot fault. The location away from the hustle and bustle but everything easy to access. We had a rental and drove to all the tourists spots within 25 minutes. Golden sands one of the best beaches on the island, attached to Aqua Marine - a must visit for the best water activities. See you next year for our third stay.

From the moment we walked into the hotel ALL of the staff were exceptionally polite and warm . Room was beautiful big with balcony and huge shower bathroom the next morning were greeted by Henri who was a breath of fresh air totally welcoming considerate took time to chat and invited us to the table . The breakfast was awesome anything you required was there a feast!! In the evening we had choice of 3 restaurants we chose European and was delicious. We hired a car to get around Malta and got to see most of sights including Gozo the island . Great stay we want to return it was such a good experience. Also used the pool steam room and sauna and jacuzzi brilliant!!THANKYOU
I have no complaint really except the fact it rain a bit and no one has control over that!!
