"Radisson Blu Malta – A Lovely Stay with Stunning Views! Stayed for 4 days as part of a wedding party and overall had a fantastic experience! Despite a few initial teething issues, the staff responded brilliantly and really looked after us. The hotel is clean, and the sea views are absolutely stunning! Honestly, one of those places where you can sit with a drink and admire the view for hours! A couple of small improvements: * UK plug sockets available, but none by the bedside, making phone charging tricky. Bring an extension lead! * Outdoor pool was extremely cold, although the indoor pools were pleasantly warmer. Bridge Bar was a brilliant chill-out spot and became our regular meeting point for drinks throughout the day! Another bonus is that the hotel is within walking distance of the main strip. Overall, a lovely stay! A huge thank you to the front desk management team and especially Raj for looking after us so well. Thanks to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable. Would happily return!"
