"We loved our stay in the Marriot at St. Julian. We got a comfortable large with a brilliant view and stayed for a week while getting our open water diving certification. We loved the dining options and took advantage of the breakfast setup. Service was really lovely and when there were issues, the staff corrected things. Nava in particular was super attentive and ensured we were taken care of during our whole time there. We also enjoyed the spa pool (one of three pools) and the spa facilities. The bar made brilliant cocktails. We also had the option of using one of two car parks which was super convenient. All in all, would love to stay here again."

There was an incredible spread of fresh breads, fruits, cheeses, meats, salads, and fantastic coffee. ​Our room was always spotless, featuring great air conditioning, clean towels daily, and a beautiful view. The front desk team was extremely kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about local recommendations. Thank you for making my vacation so special—I can't wait to return!"

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was great, the 3 person room was spacious with a great balcony with a view of the sea and sunset and a large bathroom. The beds were so comfy we had a great sleep. We really enjoyed our stay and we would happily return. The restaurants on site had great food and large portions. Also great breakfast selection and plenty of space in the restaurant or terrace. Spa was great, we had the hamam and it was as good as it was in Turkey. Went for a boat trip, the pick-up was close to the hotel which was amazing and so worth it. The only downs I would give the hotel would be regarding the signage around the hotel - when we were staying they were doing some works next to the pools and also there was some filming done around the hotel so some paths were closed and we had to go around. The issue is that the 4 buildings of the hotel look almost the same and the signage was not large enough or clear enough so we ended up lost and going in circles and we've seen many other guests doing the same. Another one would be that even though housekeeping would come everyday and the room was clean, the bedsheets have not been changed at all during our 6 nights stay which I would have like to have it done at least once. Also a few more hooks for hanging stuff in the bathroom would be great as I mentioned, there were 3 of us and we found we didn't have enough space to hang all the towels to dry. And a clothes airer on the balcony for wet bathing suits would be the cherry on top."
