Radisson Blu Resort and Spa Golden Sands

O e

There were a number of things during my stay that didn’t quite meet the standard I’d associate with a five-star hotel. The main building felt a bit worn in places, with scuffs and marks that took away from the overall impression. Service was inconsistent. Some staff were excellent, but others seemed a little unsure, which led to a few moments that left me a bit miffed — for example, being shown to my stored luggage and picking it up myself, with help offered only afterwards. Not awful, just not what I’d expect at this level. Food was mixed as well. My room service breakfast was incorrect; I’d ordered a breadbasket with croissants and snacks but received toast instead. The Indian restaurant was fine, though milder than expected. Again, not terrible, just not quite five-star. The spa was clean and well maintained, though several facilities weren’t working during my visit. I also realised I hadn’t been told about all the hotel facilities at check-in, and noise travelled easily from neighbouring rooms if their balcony doors were open. Individually, these things didn’t ruin my stay, but together they left the experience feeling below the standard advertised. I don’t think I’d return, though I did appreciate the elements that were done well.

Our weekend stays at this hotel are always unforgettable thanks to the incredible staff who truly make us feel at home. My husband, my baby girl Mimi, and I are always so happy and cared for every time we visit. A special thank-you to Manager Anket for always ensuring our stay is perfect, and to the lovely receptionists Elvie and Pinky, who greet us with such warmth. Sandeep from breakfast at Flavours went above and beyond — helping brining us food to the table while I juggled our little one, and making sure we had everything we needed. Daniel from maintenance was so kind and quickly fixed our TV with ease. And the amazing team at Mokka — Aminul, Sweetson and the wonderful girls — were incredibly accommodating and kept our daughter entertained; she absolutely adored them. Their burgers are also incredible — truly some of the tastiest we’ve had. Kudos to the chef! And of course Mr Henri, the one and only — a true gentleman with a warm heart. Whether we meet him in the lobby or are welcomed by him at breakfast, it is always such a joy to see him and be greeted by him. Every visit is an incredible experience filled with comfort, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The beautiful stay, the thoughtful service, and the wonderful people are the reason we keep coming back — for anniversaries, birthdays, or simply when we need a little escape. Truly a place full of heart.

One of the best hotels we have stayed in as a family. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Parking was convenient and affordable at just €3 per day, and I always felt our rental car was safe, which gave us peace of mind during the stay. The front-of-house staff were incredibly friendly, especially with my daughter. They were warm, welcoming, and really made sure we were enjoying our time at the hotel. A special mention to the gentleman who checked us in. I didn’t catch his full name, but I think it was something like Kaikobad. He was amazing. We had originally booked a standard room, but he kindly upgraded us to an ocean-view suite. The upgrade made our stay unforgettable. The suite had three balconies overlooking the sea, offering a stunning view morning and night. There was so much space for our little one to run around and play, it felt perfect for a family stay. Room service was great too. We especially loved the margherita pizza, fresh, cheesy, and surprisingly delicious for hotel room service. The hotel itself is very cosy and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle, which made it a relaxing retreat. I would definitely recommend hiring a car if you want to explore Malta properly. The island is small, and you can drive from one end to the other in under an hour, so a car makes your trip much easier. Overall, a wonderful family experience. We would happily stay here again on our next visit to Malta.

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable week at the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands, and from start to finish it was simply exceptional. From the moment we checked in, Sam made us feel genuinely welcomed — friendly, attentive, and full of local knowledge. That first impression really set the tone for our stay. The resort itself is breathtaking — the views over Golden Bay are something special, and the atmosphere manages to feel both luxurious and relaxed. Every detail was thought through, from the cleanliness of the rooms to the quality of the restaurants and spa. The staff throughout the hotel went above and beyond, always with a smile and nothing ever too much trouble. We left feeling refreshed, cared for, and already planning our next visit. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay truly memorable — a perfect balance of comfort, service, and Maltese warmth.

The absolute best Radisson Blu I have stayed in (and I have stayed in many EU ones). The view alone is breathtaking. The beach and water is a few steps away. 5 excellent restaurant with some 24/7 room service. The toilet & bath was very roomy. (Much appreciated) and the staff are so friendly. My bathtub had an issue but solved promptly. A very nice, tasty breakfast. I wish I could explore the other in-hotel services but sadly it was a "whole day meeting business" trip. But I will definitely come back for a full family holiday. Thanks to the whole management team.
