The staff is extremely attentive from the minute you walk in the door through getting you to an early trip to the airport. The rooms with a view are breathtaking. The breakfast is excellent. Essence of India had me wanting to come back for more. Property well maintained. But sad that guests cannot help but litter on the gorgeous beach.

Pluses: spacious room and bathroom, attentive staff, adjacent to beautiful beach, private beach, comfortable, clean, bus stop not too far away Negatives: If you want to visit sites in Malta, the hotel is very far away from some of the major cities and sites; not an issue if you have a car. Could take the bus, but it was inconvenient due to timing, road closures, location (this was in Nov.). Hotel is a little dated, not a lot of food options at hotel or nearby Hotel staff go out of their way to help. But we were disappointed in Concierge - they could not give us best options for getting to certain places and were not aware of certain tours we had found at other hotels and did not tell us about the shuttle from the hotel that goes to certain sites for a fee; we found out on our own. We picked a 5* hotel so that Concierge could help us get around. There are travel desks that offer different tours but they only know what their company offers; would be nice if Concierge could know what our transportation/travel needs are and guide us accordingly. Nota Bene: many options at breakfast/food was above average but not stellar likely because they were cooking for 100s of people. Also, a quiet breakfast inside dining area is challenging because at all times during breakfast there is a lot of noise due to small kids - not good or bad but an observation.

It's a great hotel to chill out and relax. We hired a car and did a bit of sightseeing in Mdina. We did see regular buses both local and tour buses so would be fairly easy to get around anyway. There's a couple of beach bars/restaurants but which seemed fairly popular. We went in November and they shut earlier in the winter. The hotel has a wide choice of restaurants to eat in or just get a snack. The weather was fabulous for mid November, with average temperatures of 25 degrees. The staff were great and facilities excellent, I would definitely go back.

No happy with one thing - the over fussy service. Somehow world standards don't fit in a chilled holiday resort. If a want a beer, I dont need to be shown to a seat by one person asked what I want by a 2nd and then wait to pay a 3rd. Spending 20 minutes having a 5 minute drink? No.

generally well maintained property has everything for everyone including an on site spa, kids activities, large pool, gym indoor pool and sauna. Their private beach is just a few steps away and has easy access to the Aquamarine water sports activity center The Myoka spa is one of the best and so are their restaurants- diverse food options including ‘Essense of India’ Some aspects could improve - the sauna area changing rooms are not well maintained and the service staff at the hotel could do with more training

We loved our stay at this resort. The resort was very clean despite the amount of sand from the private beach that must be tracked into her hallways, and it was very quiet during peak season. Plenty of amenities such as a boutique, a convenience store (light food, wine, sweets, pool/ beach toys, etc), spa, adult swim area, kids club, private sunloungers (for a minimum amount spent on food service), and more. The food was really great especially at Agliolio. The private beach is marked by a rope that divides it from a public beach to the left and a sea adventures & sports company to the right. There is a lifeguard stand at the public beach and the tide here is gentle (on non-windy days). The convenience of having the sea adventures & sports company at your fingertips was very convenient. There are plenty of free beach sunloungers with large fixed parasols and tables. The room balcony was very generous with plenty of space for 4 people and the room was spotless with a comfortable bed. We were grateful for the ceiling fan which was a much better choice instead of the AC. By far the most impressive aspect of the resort is the staff. Aleks, Mamata, and Ellaine at Mokka; and Abril and Karen working beachside were remarkable. So friendly, caring, and wonderful at making you feel welcome. Will definitely return.

We had the most amazing time, the hotel is truly 5*! The hotel was spotless, the staff went over and beyond their duties to accommodate us, the choice of food and dining options was incredible and the facilities were superb (one error in their list of facilities - unfortunately they don’t have the swim up bar that they list). Saying that, the waiter service at the pool was 10/10 and our room had the most amazing view. We have certainly made memories here and would highly recommend as we will be returning and also visiting other Radisson hotels.

We had a great stay at this Radisson Blu. The best takeaways were the private beach front with chairs for hotel guests — this was so convenient to have. The Essence and Angliolio restaurants were also delicious; we went back twice to each! The hotel is clean and the staff are kind. There were benefits to being in a more private part of the island, but Uber and Bolt were helpful in us getting to other areas for dinner and activities. The property is very outdated, however, and looks like it was designed in the ‘60s. Also, there were tons of children staying at the hotel, so it’s probably not the best place to stay if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway. We will probably get a sea view room next time we visit as the land view had some sound issues. First a party going on until late which led us to move rooms, the a dog barking until 3AM every night. Overall, we had a really nice holiday and would likely return to this hotel!

Property is very old and not maintained properly. My disappointment was with housekeeping and dirty towels and bedding. Staff is friendly and welcoming. After asking several times housekeeping was not done. Too many people around pool area very crowded they have less space but trying to accommodate too many people. Food variety was less but whatever was available was taste. Overall not very happy with the stay.

We had a wonderful stay at the Radisson Golden Sands. The hotel is lovely and has some great facilities. It is a great hotel if you want a relaxed and calm getaway. But definitely not the right hotel if you are looking for fun nightlife! Thankfully chilled is just what we wanted! Do not miss out on the Essence bar located just above the Essence of India restaurant it is easy to miss and affords the best views of the bay and event sun long after the main bar is in the shade. Also the Essence of India is fab food and service so make sure to give it a go. Mellieha is not far and less than 10 Euros by Bolt it's a fun town and has some great Bars and Restaurants.
