Ruhige, zentrale Lage, große Anlage
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt ruhig auf einer Landzunge. In Laufnähe sind viele Restaurants und Geschäfte. Der Stadtteil San Julian/San Ġiljan ist eine Mischaung aus alten, extrem verwinkelten Gebäuden, dazwischen dann sehr moderne. Alles sieht etwas chaotisch aus. Man geht Treppen hoch, Rampen hinunter, Rolltreppen, Brücken. Viele enge Gassen. In fast jedem der Gebäude sind Geschäfte, Restaurants, Cafès, Dienstleistungen etc.
Das Hotel selbst ist sehr weitläufig. WIr hatten unsere Zimmer im Nordwing, dort im 3.Stock, welcher aber ebenerdig mit Gartenterrasse war. Die Zimmer sind groß und renoviert, auch das Badezimmer ist ungewöhnlich groß. Die Ausstattung ist gut, einem 5. Sterne Hotel entsprechend. Was gut gefallen hat, war das Gym. Ich hatte bisher noch niemals ein so vollwertig ausgestattes Gym in einem Hotel gehabt.
Im Bereich des Reef-Pools gibt es 3 Möglichkeiten ins Meer zu steigen. Einmal gibt es einen sehr kleiner Sandstrand zwischen den künstlich hergestellten Felsen mit Meerzugang und dann noch zwei künstliche Buchten, in denen man schwimmen kann. Eine davon auch wenn das Meer mal etwas unruhiger ist. Das Personal durchweg sehr freundlich.
Busse fahren oberhalb des Hotels in alle Richtungen. Aber Bolt und Uber sind das Mittel der Wahl für den Transport dort. Wer möchte, kann sich auch mit einem Mietwagen in die engen Straßen und dem LINKSVERKEHR! wagen! :-)

Cons:

Als ich die Sauna, welche nirgendwo auf der Website oder auch sonst beworben wird, das erste Mal sah, wusste ich auch warum. Sie und auch das Dampfbad befinden sich im Innenpool Bereich. Mit jeweils einer großen Glasfront zum Pool. Man sitzt dort wie in einem Schaufenster. Auch wenn hier Badebekleidung vorgeschrieben ist, haben wir trotzdem auf den Besuch der Sauna verzichtet. Bei unserem Aufenthalt waren geschätzt 80% der Gäste mit Kindern dort. Entsprechend laut und wild ging es im Innenpool und dem beheizten Außenpool zu, Glücklicherweise gibt es noch den Reef-Pool, Dieser ist unbeheizt und dementsprechen ist es dort sehr ruhig. Aber es war auch Ferienzeit und wahrscheinlich deswegen so viel Familien mit Kindern dort.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war gut, aber in den 6 Tagen ohne Abwechslung. Da kann sich das Westin Dragonara eine Scheibe vom Grupotel Natural & Spa auf Mallorca abschneiden. Das trifft auch auf das abendliche Buffet zu. Es war gut, aber für ein 5 Sterne Haus mit deutlichem Potential nach oben. Zumal die Räumlichkeiten schlecht konzeptioniert sind. Hohe Lärmpegel und die Laufwege der Gäste und des Personals kollidierten überall. Da hat der Innenarchitekt keine gute Arbeit geleistet.
Für die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants eine echte Herausforderung dort zu arbeiten.

Great sea views, excellent service, and easy airport connections.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Westin Dragonara Resort in Malta in October. The location is exceptional, right on the waterfront, with beautiful sea views and a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere.

Our room was spacious, spotless, and very well equipped. The Westin Heavenly Bed was extremely comfortable and ensured a great night's sleep. Having a balcony with a sea view was particularly important to us, and the beautiful view over the Mediterranean made our stay even more special.

A special thank you goes to the staff, who were consistently friendly, professional, and attentive. From check-in to departure, we always felt warmly welcomed and well looked after.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. We also enjoyed the resort's restaurants. The pools, direct access to the sea, and beautifully maintained surroundings made it easy to relax and enjoy our holiday.

We particularly appreciated the excellent fitness center and the beautifully renovated indoor pool facilities. Visiting in October, the indoor facilities were a wonderful addition and provided a perfect place to relax.

The Westin Dragonara Resort combines outstanding service, comfort, beautiful surroundings, and an excellent location and easy airport connections We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be delighted to return in the future. Highly recommended!

Cons:

We appreciated the convenient bus connections, although the buses could sometimes get a little crowded.

Great service and great location, but a hotel in need of a refresh in some areas
Pros:

The staff were amazing. In particular, Ivy was incredibly helpful in sorting a birthday surprise for my daughter. Our suite was great - it was very comfortable and it suited us perfectly.

Cons:

The common areas in the hotel were tired, particularly the pool areas. They need refreshing and updating. Not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel.

Wonderful family friendly stay at the Westin
Pros:

Lovely hotel, excellent facilitators for adults and kids and friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return. The gym is excellent and all the pools - really great.

Cons:

Not much to dislike .. breakfast was a little chaotic some days when very busy but not sure a lot can be done about that really. The staff did a good job managing it.
