Vacations Close To Blue Grotto

The highlight for me was the pool access and the beach access. The pool had very picturesque views of the beach. It was excellent how there was an adult only section too. Staff was incredibly helpful and always willing to oblige. Breakfast was a very busy place. Even though there were a few items of food that were Maltese, it would be helpful to have a little bit more background information about these foods given that you are in Malta. Perhaps a Maltese section? Even things like honey, capers, olives, cheese etc. Are these local products? The restaurants that were available at the Radisson Blu, did not really reflect Maltese culture. Even if there was a little cafe which served good quality hobz biz zejt, octopus salad with potatoes and capers, pastizzi, qassatat, skewers of local watermelon etc. promote the Maltese culture. Guests are interested in sampling good quality Maltese cuisine. Parking was a bit difficult but we always managed to get a car park. I would most definitely come back. And I would recommend this place to others.

I’ve just returned from a week-long stay and, overall, we had a lovely time. The hotel is very modern, and the rooftop pool was a highlight. We spent many days up there and really enjoyed it. Breakfast was good; there wasn’t a huge amount of choice, but we always found something we liked. There were, however, a few things that could have been better. The plugs either side of the bed didn’t really work, and our air-conditioning unit was leaking water. We were also given an accessible room, but unfortunately the shower head wouldn’t stay up, so it wasn’t the most relaxing shower. We had to ask for the shower gel and soap to be refilled, and even when we returned around 3–4pm, our room still hadn’t been cleaned. On our final day, we experienced numerous power cuts and weren’t given much information, only finding out what was happening after going to reception to ask. The rooftop pool was lovely, although the bar doesn’t open until around 1–2pm. Naturally, we bought water and snacks to take up before it opened. Once it did open, the staff were a little abrupt when we touched a bottle of water, telling us we couldn’t drink it. I found this slightly rude, as I would have ordered drinks from the bar if it had opened earlier. The location is perfect, around a 10-minute walk to the waterfront, restaurants and ferry port, with a bus stop very close by. Overall, we had a lovely stay and the hotel has a lot going for it.

Modern clean hotel. Right in the heart of Saint Julian with easy access to clubs and local immunities. Easy bus ride into Valletta. Friendly staff and a huge breakfast full of options. Nice roof top pool with access to another larger pool of the adjoining hotel if required via sky bridge. Enjoyed our stay

We had an excellent visit. The staff are fantastic. Also, the property is grand and elegant although you can tell it is an older property, which is why we were so happy to have a room that been recently renovated and was is in pristine condition. The Corinthia Palace is a beautiful, classy hotel and we highly recommend it.
