Radisson Blu Resort and Spa Golden Sands

The hotel is in a magnificent location. Fantastic views to the see from the premises, private sand beach, however you can enjoy the views from the pool lounges. The service was great, the staff really puts much effort. The hotel itself is pretty outdated, if you are used to 5* experience, the rooms are more like 3*, spacious and very clean. Bolt and Uber rides are easy, keep in mind the traffic when getting to the airport. Can be very hard to get a ride during rush hour. We found the food at the hotel to be very overpriced. You can have a very nice lunch in Valetta at a pricey restaurant for 25 pp including drinks, at the hotel same would easily be 35-45. The hotel shop is also very expensive, selling sparkling water for 3.5. I guess a price to pay for a remote location. Overall good experience.

We stayed at the Radisson for 2 nights. The hotel is located directly in a bay with a sandy beach. There are several restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, the room with a sea view was more of a room with a view of the landscape and parking lot; you could only see the beach from the balcony. Very disappointing (see pictures). Rooms very old and small, if you open 2 suitcases there is hardly any space left. Telephones feel like they're from the Middle Ages. Pool area very nice, there is an area only for adults and plenty of loungers and parasols. You have a beautiful view of the sea and the beach. The hotel has a piece of private beach. Unfortunately, there is a boat rental right in front of it, so there is constant unrest. There are a lot of old cigarette butts in the sand itself, so I don't want to walk around here barefoot. Cans, bottles, cigarette packs and other rubbish from previous guests lay on the seats next to us for several hours - photos attached - none of this is worthy of 5 stars. We would also like to positively mention the Agliolio restaurant, very tasty drinks, great fish platter, very friendly service - it's hard to believe that the restaurant is part of the hotel. On the other hand, the breakfast buffet was very bad: At reception we were told that the outdoor area was closed and we should sit indoors. In fact, the outdoor area was open and we found other guests and several tables set. What kind of service is this? Why lie? Same game on the second day... supposedly no outdoor seats. We ignored this and immediately found several tables outside. Maybe the two ladies at the breakfast reception should be given a real task... Orange juice is just as deceptive. There is a carafe of orange juice at the entrance to the restaurant, with several oranges around it. Only it's not 100% orange juice, it tastes like sugar water. Omelette also poor... no fresh eggs but a ready mix. Preparation: Put the ready mix in the pan, then onion, cheese, anything else on top, everything folded up and ready. There's not a cook at the pan, is there? Unfortunately we didn't like too many things and we wouldn't book this hotel again.

Lovely hotel in a good location. We were greeted by Henri , he was very professional and made us feel very welcome. The rooms are clean with views from the balcony. The Mokka lounge bar is ideal for relaxing in. The waitress, Sana, greeted us with a lovely smile and was very professional, a real credit to the hotel staff. She made the best ginger and lemonade drink for us every morning. The spa staff were all very helpful and friendly. I booked a facial, sadly I can't remember the ladies name but she was very attentive and kind. The breakfast had a separate area with gluten free bread, cereal and pastries. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Thank you to all the staff .

Amazing 8 days in Radisson Blu Golden Sands! This hotel & services/facilities exceeded our expectations & we ( 5 adults/ 1 child) all loved our stay. The customer service was 10/10. The manager Ankit was very friendly & resolved any queries immediately. All staff in all areas of hotel were very welcoming. We ate in all restaurants & used the room service & pool bar. The food in every place was of high quality & impressive. Med Asia was our favourite followed by essence of India. Our suite was very spacious, clean & all kitchen facilities included fridge/freezer, cooker, kettle, microwave, toaster etc. There was also a lovely warm indoor pool, jacuzzi & sauna & gym. We would definitely recommend this hotel! The private beach was lovely & next door was option of an even larger public beach.

An Amazing holiday at Radisson Blu. All staff were extremely welcoming and so friendly. First hotel where I was always acknowledged or said hello to in passing by EVERY single member of staff. Facilities are great. Different pools, spa Jacuzzi, gym. The private beach area was a blessing to have as it meant it wasnt too overcrowded. Food was lovely. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Malta.
