The Golden Tulip Vivaldi Hotel is an upper-middle-range property with classical touches set in the buzzy Maltese resort of St. Julian's. While it is positioned a little removed from most of the local nightlife, it's just a short walk and some of its noise can be heard from guest rooms. The 263 well-maintained and spacious rooms have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, plus most feature sea views from balconies. Dining options are decent, with a choice of buffet and a la carte, and leisure facilities include a seasonal rooftop pool and spa with indoor pool. Overall rates are reasonable for what you get, though The George Hotel nearby offers a sleeker boutique experience for around the same price.

The 340-room Westin Dragonara is a luxury family-friendly resort known for its wealth of great on-site amenities, including three pools, excellent and varied dining options, large fitness center, and one of Malta’s most famous casinos. Rooms are large and sunny, and most have wonderful sea views. But the classic decor and tan color palette make rooms feel a little dated and bland, and Wi-Fi is only available for a fee. The location on a quiet peninsula a short walk from St. Julian’s restaurants, shops, and nightlife is a big plus, and free on-site parking comes in handy. The Westin is one of the most luxurious resorts in Malta, but it lacks a full spa, and the pesky extra fees can add up. Located in a more secluded area, The Radisson Blu Resort, Malta St Julian’s offers a similar experience at lower rates.

True to the chain's core brand, the Hilton Malta is an upscale hotel with enough facilities to appeal to a broad range of guests. Set in the upmarket Portomaso complex in St. Julian's, the hotel is positioned overlooking the sea between the yacht marina and the buzzing Paceville district. Its 410 guest rooms are bright and contemporary (following 2016 renovations) and most offer excellent balcony views. With five pools -- including one heated indoor pool -- several restaurants and bars, and an impressive spa there's no shortage of facilities. The kids' club and splash pools mean families are well catered for. It does all come at a cost, however, and breakfast is pricey for the area. Another nearby chain complex to consider would be the Westin, with a similarly impressive range of amenities and a closer location to the beach.

The 425-room Blue Sea St George’s Park & La Vallette Resorts is one of the cheapest all-inclusives in Malta.
