Tal-Plier Hotels, Zabbar

"Great location and property, it was absolutely beautiful. Only thing I didn’t particularly care for was the pool hours- they closed oddly early. Also, the pools could probably use an upgrade in general. Literally everything else was a 9+ out of 10."

"Convenient "

"This is one of the best 3 star hotels I've stayed in, it feels more like a 4 star in terms of the facilities and amenities that are available, the extremely welcoming staff, the cleanliness and space of the rooms and the area in which it is located. Holiday Inn Express is a part of the IHG Group, and connected to this hotel is the 5 star IHG InterContinental which is accessible via the first floor, and for a small fee, you can access their facilities which includes an indoor pool, spa and wellness centre, as well as an outdoor sky pool and bar. The area around the hotel, although quite noisy at night known as Paceville, has a wide variety of clubs, bars and pubs with a great deal of dining options, whilst the street on which the hotel is situated also houses one of the island's only cinemas as well as one of the best shopping complexes, making it extremely ideal for anyone that doesn't want to venture very far. The room itself was well-kitted out, and the TV (although without smart functionality) had a wide variety of European TV channels. The breakfast included at the hotel was also lovely and featured an outdoor seated terrace, while the food provided was quite nice. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable, yet cozy hotel in a great location and some great amenities, I would highly recommend this place."

"The distance from everything was great!! Staff was amazing, extremely clean and Breakfast was delicious "

"This was our 4th time staying at the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Golden Sands. This resort never disappoints. The entire staff from check-in, check-out, house keeping, maintenance crew etc. are all so friendly & welcoming team. The resort is always immaculate from inside the main lobby, to individual rooms, to outside the resort. It is a very well kept resort and part of the reason why we continue to return. We always include the breakfast. It is one of the best breakfast buffets and spreads with made to order omelet stand, fresh fruit & veggies, multiple juice options, and baked goods. It what we look forward to each morning we wake up. The staff again are so polite, friendly, and super attentive. Another benefit is Golden Sands has their own small private sandy beach, which can be hard to find in Malta. The resort has 3 pools: small kiddie pool, main pool where all are invited to lounge and our favorite the adults only pool (ages 16 yrs & up). The staff does an exceptional job at ensuring those at the pools & beach have the proper daily resort bracelet allowing guests access to these facilities. Highly recommend this resort for all the above reasons stated and more. Thank you for another wonderful time! "

"The staff were exceptional throughout our stay; delivered a bottle of Prosecco and small bite-sized cakes to the room after noticing it was my partners birthday from her passport during check-in, then gave us a complimentary drinks voucher for not being able to check us in (we were early and they managed to get us in at the time we should have been in, but felt bad for saying it might be earlier). Both unprompted and thoughtful gestures."

"Good location and Experience "

"Good location and loads of bars / eating places. Boat trips and ferry are walkable and shops too. Sliema 2 mins away and st. Julian’s isn’t far. Lots of buses outside and the view from pool is amazing. Breakfast was really nice and always hot and fresh. Lots of choice with coffee fruit etc. staff are so friendly and pleasant. Sea view room was perfect view. "

"Excellent staff - extremely courteous and couldn’t do more for your stay . Amazing dining on the seafront "
