Me and my wife checked in today at the Marriott Malta Resort and Spa. Front desk said they expected us and thanked us for being loyal Elites. Got upgraded from a standard room to a full 1 bedroom suite high floor with sea view and balcony (i think this is their highest suite). Upon entering the room, we found a colorful flower bouquet (for Mother’s Day), sparkling wine, bottles of water, chocolate, cookies, 2 luggage tag gifts, accompagned with a letter from the GM, and a nice welcoming decor in our king bed. They gave us 2 discount coupons for massages and spa, which we will use during our stay. The rooms are very clean. They gave us access to their MClub lounge for breakfast and happy hours. I also used the welcome gift for a full hot buffet breakfast at the restaurant (giving me the choice between the lounge and restaurant). The staffs are amazing, very nice and welcoming. The GM spends time with the guests at the MClub each morning, and it’s very nice of him to meet with each Elite. I posted some pictures of the MClub. This is our first time in Malta, we looked at other Marriott brands but decided to chose the Marriott Resort & Spa because of the great reviews posted here and other Bonvoy groups. If you do plan to visit Malta, do consider staying at this resort, i think you will be impressed.
