Dolmen Resort Hotel

Northern Malta


This huge, plush waterfront hotel has the unusual combination of a casino and its own prehistoric temple on the grounds. Rooms are lush yet pleasingly plain, and some have great ocean views (worth the extra cost). Creature comforts include four outdoor swimming pools (one solely for kids), sports facilities, a spa and a beach club.
