Best Hotels in Malia

room, beautifully designed and that seemed to be new, good, big bed, excelent bathroom with big towels and bathrobes, and a good view to the sea from the nice balcony

According to locals, the day before the hotel opened, Crete experienced an unprecedented weather phenomenon – a Saharan sandstorm that left unmistakable traces and completely undid the extensive cleaning work carried out beforehand at the hotel complex

Despite this unprecedented crisis situation, the ENTIRE staff welcomed the guests with a warm smile! That's truly a great achievement! A very special thank you goes to the both managers LIA and YANNIS, who so professionally, sovereignly and prudently navigated their team through this exceptional situation, ensuring guests a carefree and unrestricted stay! This achievement deserves the highest respect...

Yannis's singing was particularly impressive and surprising (singer and manager - what a rare and extraordinary professional combination!) We will definitely come back! Most warmest regards from Claudia and Sven!

The High Beach Resort is a very well-maintained and visually appealing hotel complex. We arrived on April 2nd, 2026, the official start of the season

Furthermore, there was a very well-equipped and very modern indoor fitness room. In the evenings, the bar offered a varied program of live music

Our room was described by everyone upon check in as the best of the entire resort and it sure did not disappoint! If you are staying at this place, ask for room 747

Honestly the most beautiful and friendlist hotel i have ever been to. We arrived late in the evening not expecting to be able to eat anything but the restaurant had left us a meal with bread and fruit plate

We made some wonderful German friends. My husband had 3 treatments in the spa, i had a lovely facial on friday

Wendy and Katerina were amazing ( now facebook friends) We will be back thats for sure, we didn't even go off site we were too happy wandering around, although i will miss my cat i called Bobbin

It was hard to say goodbye yesterday. Always on the wall outside the main buffet restaurant and the bar outside with a bent ear. Have a great rest, roll on 2026!! Well done to all the staff, they all work incredibly hard

By the end of day one we were planning our next visit! Travelling with Crohn’s disease isn’t always easy, but Giannis and his staff were so incredibly helpful with food selections that they made our stay so very simple

It was an amazing stay! 3 days of relaxation in a small quite hotel! The daily buffet was really tasty but the highlight of this hotel is the nice behaviour of the staff!

The service is at a good level, very friendly people at the reception. I hope to come here again or send my parents)

Amazing hotel! At first I was a bit worried about the bad weather but everything changed by my arrival! One of the most cleaned hotel with staff like family

Amazing staff really welcoming and friendly very upbeat and happy, good choice of food to pick from all inclusive drinks with wide range! Clean hotel overall atmosphere amazing very helpful with what things to do if stuck! Food served pretty much all day and of course drinks

The stay at the hotel was very relaxing. The food is healthy and tasty. The staff is attentive and very friendly. I had a deep tissue massage with Sofia, which was excellent

This hotel should be a 5 star, one of the best we’ve ever stayed in and will definitely be returning

Special thanks to Mairy the bar woman we met there, she was so fun to speak to, so interesting and kind person and made delicious drinks and the cocktails were the best we’ve had! We’re excited for our next visit now and I can’t recommend enough this amazing hotel! You need to go see and get the experience yourself to understand! Btw You HAVE to ask Mairy of her cocktais and drinks recommendations...

It was one of the best 10-day vacations we've ever had with my partner. The rooms were beautiful, the housekeeping staff came in every day, and everything was spotless

Beautiful clubs, fantastic restaurants, and the sea is also just a short walk away. It was truly one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Thank you so much for everything, and we’ll definitely see you again next year!

Breakfast had plenty of options, the coffee was excellent, and the service from the girls working there was amazing. They had an answer to all our questions and helped us a lot

Overall, all the rooms do need a little renovation, especially the bathrooms however, considering the prices, this hotel is good value for money and I recommend it. Mostly clean, with very few spots, dust, etc

Very lovely hotel Stuff very professional There are here in a touch Room very clean room service top Beakfast really a lot of choice Swimmingpool clean The bar very good kitchen very good Stuff bar kitchen 5/5

We stayed for one week and we felt very good! All the staff was very polite and always smiling and ready to help. The rooms are very clean, the pool was nice even in october and the food was delicious and diverse.

Only a small amount of rooms so always space by the bar and pool. No sunbed races in the morning! Foods of a good variance in the restaurant each night with your stable chips option if nothing takes your fancy

The ruby royal area gets sun later in the day so if thats what you are after, get one of those rooms. All staff very welcoming and pleasant

The Cretan old town is only a 10 minute walk south, and the beach a 10 minute walk north

Crispy around the edges then placed on a hot plate. Similar with varying foods every time. This station should be cooking as requested. It takes 2 minutes to cook an egg. I'd much prefer to have it cooked for me

I've been all over the world,so different cuisines aren't an issue. But the standard of food is very poor. The cooking station was manned by a really nice guy. But cooking 20 fried eggs over done

I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a hotel. The drinks were top-notch and easy to find restaurant. I honestly adore this place and will never forget it

Antisocial behaviour NOT tolerated at all! Food fresh and gorgeous. few mins walk one direction brought you to the funky strip

The atmosphere was so chilled and I had the best relaxing week! The old town which was 10 minutes walk away was absolutely beautiful, lots of restaurants to chose from away from the main *****

few mins the other way brought you to quieter area of fabulous restaurants more relaxed vibe

The hotel was lovely, with an excellent location next to the old town, where there were loads of lovely restaurants. Great swimming pool and friendly staff, particularly Maria

Really enjoyed our short stay here. The room was very clean & spacious. The (two) pools were both really nice and served by their own friendly pool snack bar. The staff were plentiful, cheerful and hard-working

Well done to the staff! PS: The offered massages are very good, too!

I can recommend Socrates Hotel without any hesitation! We stayed several nights and the service was consistently friendly, helpful and professional, led by Anna on reception, and Despina and crew in bar/restaurant

The hotel and pool area, and our room were spotless. Very comfortable room and beds. Lovely meals available, and delicious varied breakfasts provided

Airport transfers were very helpful, as was other advice and information. Quiet hotel for wide variety of guests. Easy walk to Malia centre and Old Town, and to the beach

On our last day, there was some younger male groups who were bombing into the pool and splashing everyone, to which staff told them off. This is not the hotel for that

Breakfast was plentiful, and the bar food and drink was fantastic, especially the pasta! By far the best thing about Socrates is bar manager Despina, who remembered our names, always said hello/goodbye and would chat with us

Without doubt the best Hotel we have ever stayed at. From the location to the facilities everything was perfect. The owners Manos and Tula helped by their lovely children couldn’t do enough for us

The restaurant is the best place to have breakfast, amazing lunch options or a relaxed dinner

There is a sandy swimming beach a few meters from the hotel. Beautiful clean swimming pool in the hotel area which faces the sea. Tula was amazing organising a taxi transfer for us to and from the airport

Honestly I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to appreciate the beauty of Malia. We love our walking so everything was easily accessible by foot either along the beach or the back roads

Away from all the party places , yet still in walking distance if we wanted the night life and the huge selection of amazing restaurants. We had a constant view of the sea

She was so helpful in recommending authentic Greek restaurants. The bar area at the hotel ended every night perfectly with a great selection of night cap drinks

Very kind staff and amazing location. Going to the beach is a 2 minute walk, very comfortable! Staff is really kind and respectful. Also pretty good food with an big variety too. Would strongly recommend.

I was at Aeolos Beach relaxing on the beach and drinking beers,it is the best place to stay and enjoy your holiday with perfect staff.I will definitely go back again.

Excellent choice, family friendly easy access to the village! Great hospitality! Many thing to do from sea activities to gum and a chill relaxed night at the lounge area !

The hotel has extremely hard working staff who work tirelessly to try and make a good experience for guests, in a hotel with limited possibiities

Located in Malia with easy access to tavernas, nightclubs and bars, this hotel holds a good position

It was my first time in Greece. And what a nice experience it was. The location of the hotel is ideal , with 2 private pools and steps away from the beach and Sea. Amazing food and great personnel

Overall an amazing stay for me and my friend. The location is great and convenient walking distance to the beach. Extremely friendly staff who made my stay even better and accommodated our needs

Before the wedding day we organized a small party at the party, Maria helped us with food and drinks, everything was perfect. We stayed for 2 weeks, during which time we were always greeted with smiles by the hotel staff

Our stay was very lovely and convenient as the hotel was at a perfect distance from all the shops, beach and Malia strip. The workers were all kind and hospitable

Our stay at Hotel Sella Maria was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive – always ready to assist with anything we needed

And we can’t say enough good things about Diana, the bartender – she is simply amazing! Warm, fun, and always in a great mood – she made every visit to the bar a pleasure

The atmosphere of the hotel was good and nice for relaxing

Watch out for two great guys who work there, Armando who does the sun loungers and Tonin one of the waiters really nice guy both have work here for a good few years now always lovely to see them

Very nice hotel, great location, friendly staff, good rooms, pool, close to the beach, good price. Can recommend :)

Predominantly the clientele were from mainland Europe which was great , it was like a holiday of old. It is effectively a community and such a good vibe from several bars shops and restaurants around it

We stayed at this hotel for a week and everything was great. The room was cleaned daily, the food was good, and the location was fantastic, right by the sea

We had a good stay! However, you have to pay for the sun loungers at the pool. The staff is very, very friendly, except for the head waiter

Unfortunately, one waiter (George) is quite unfriendly and does not treat the guests well. The hotel is very clean, and the food is good

We had an exceptional experience with the wellness services at High Beach Melia Hotel. My wife and I were thoroughly satisfied with the excellent service provided

modern spacious well planned facilities great view on sea and beach well organisés beach with reserved beach beds. good restaurant on the beach plenty of public spaces on property

Luxury suites directly on the beach. The summer breeze is keeping us totally relaxed. Very clean and very luxus rooms while the service team is Very friendly. Superior service from breakfast to dinner

What a beautiful resort and what a nice people. Especially Didi she is very friendly always joyful. She represent a very nice wellness. Also the staff in the wellness is very professional

The furnishings are modern and very clean. There are loungers available for each room on the beach. The two restaurants are well run and the food is delicious and varied

Additionally, Didi's professional approach in arranging a suitable time and space for our session was commendable. We highly recommend their services

So, this is not I usually do because im lazy. 😅 Butttt this place amazed me, everything is so clean. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, everyone is very helpful for what you need

Exceptional service! Everyone went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of options to choose from

Lovely hotel, I stayed for 1 week at the end of September and had a great time the staff are really friendly at reception and the cleaners are 5* they come pretty much everyday and do an excellent job

stay was absolutely wonderful! The hotel exceeded all my expectations. A perfect blend of comfort and luxury - I would highly recommend this place

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home

The location is excellent as it is a short walk to the beach, Malia village, and also plenty of nightlife. Despite this, the hotel is calm and quiet at nighttime

We had the best week at Anesea. The hotel is in very good condition and the staff work tirelessly around the clock to keep us happy. It is situated in a quiet area between Stalis and Malia

A very special place to relax. Good food and really incredible drinks. Thank you very much Maria, Janna and Manolis for your kindness 🙏🏻

We stayed 12 days in Anesea hotel and it was the best choice we could make! The service, the food and cocktails are really good. Everything is clean and the staff is really nice

The location is very good between Malia en Stalis, you can walk to both towns. We will recommend Anesea to everyone!

:-) If you think stylish Design-Hotel with all comforts and feeling welcome like family doesn´t go together, think again and try AneSea Hotel ! This place really has it all. great breakfast, food, wine, cocktails

a beautiful outdoor area and pool. very close to the beach, supermarkets, car rentals,etc. Wir gehen mit einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge :-). and we`ll definitely be back !

We had a very pleasant stay of one week at this place. The staff is nice and the service is good. We enjoyed the pool and the breakfast. The place is very well located and close to one of the nicest beaches

I stayed at Philoxenia Hotel with two family members for 12 nights in late September to mid-October, and to sum it up – it was excellent, from the area to the food

If you didn’t like something, there were always alternative options, so you’d never leave hungry. Dinner was also diverse, with plenty to choose from. You can also order food and drinks from the bar menu during your stay

It’s just a 3–5 minute walk to the beach, with a dedicated exit leading straight there, and even a shower next to that exit for rinsing off after swimming. Also, by that exit, there’s a children’s play area

You’ll also find fast-food options like McDonald’s at the nearby junction, and even a KFC-style place just a few minutes’ walk away. The check-in process couldn’t have been smoother

Like any professional hotel, the staff greeted us warmly, found our booking quickly, took our passports for registration, handed over the keys, and showed us around. Check-out was equally efficient and friendly

The hotel is a very nice place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep and relax, nice staff, clean rooms and good food. The staff were very polite and if you are respectful, you will earn respect

The hotel is close to the strip in a quiet area but is quite far from the beach. For its category, it is an excellent hotel

Location: close to the center of town, about 20 minutes walk to the beach, the same amount to the mountains. Lots of grocery and souvenir stores, restaurants and bars. Service: very nice, helpful, doing a great job

Parking just In front of the hotel in public parking. Rooms clean, cleaned out every day. The pool is just perfect for an after beach relax or upon a windy day. Malia old town is a must and it is just 5min walking

Rooms: clean, refreshed daily, basic furnishings. Breakfast: something different every day, although similar. Choice of tea, coffee, juice and water. Very nice lady serving the kitchen

Bravo! Additional perks: neat little pool, sun loungers with umbrellas, shower and toilet by the pool, hotel lobby bar (chips, drinks), helpful hotel owner

Perfectly located to explore the old town’s traditional Tavernas but only a 10 minute walk to the craziness of ‘the strip’ if that’s what you want. Iro and Stavros lead a lovely team to look after all of your needs

But the staff was what made our vacation amazing. They were incredibly friendly and made us feel like part of the family! Thank U Maria, Janette, Manos and Jannis for those perfect 7 Days! We would come back, anytime!

Absolutely loved this hotel, room was basic, but clean, only paid 35 euros to stay a whole extra day as our flight wasn't untill 2am the next day. All the staff were happy, friendly. Will definitely come back

Clean, comfortable rooms with basic but adequate self catering facilities. A very nice pool area with plenty of padded sun beds and a choice of sun or shade. A bar with reasonably priced drinks and good food

Bella Elena is just perfect! This was my second stay and it was the best holiday I've ever had. We stayed in one of the ground floor apartments, which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable

Quiet and peaceful location in the Old City of Malia area, yet there are a lot of the best restaurants near the hotel. Pool is clean and pretty big with sunbeds around it

Amazing hotel with excellent service, friendly environment with great food and drinks, very good access to the pool and bar, my wife and I really liked it, we will go back and I recommend it

I usually don't write reviews so trust me when i say, we had the best time at Pasiphae hotel, rooms are very clean, food is delicious, especially dinner, they have a little pool where you can relax and swim or just enjoy on sun beds while having a couple of drinks, the place itself has perfect location because it's near the beach but also far enough from clubs so it's quiet and peaceful

hotel overall is clean and tidy and looks well looked after. breakfast and lunch were stunning. by far the best pool I've ever seen on holiday. I've already been planning to come back here in the near future

The rooms were cleaned daily, the noise isolation was excellent, and everything we tried from the dinner menu was absolutely delicious. The Wi-Fi was impressively stable as well

Very stylish arranged, yet minimalistic, which I like a lot! We are experiencing a warm welcome and excellent sevice. Rooms are spacious, clean, with very comfortable beds

The staff is by far the best, they gave us great advice where to go to eat and what to visit, they are very friendly, generous and will help you with everything you need

Very good hotel. Food very good. I can say that there was everything that should be in a three star hotel. Very friendly service.

This hotel is good if you want to explore malia and use the hotel for small breaks in your room or by the pool. If you want to just stay in the hotel, i would maybe recommend somewhere else😊

Was all inclusive, food overall was good enough and edible although the dessert selection for dinner left a lot to be desired. Alcohol was beer which was fine, red and white wine, had some white wine which seemed fine

The staff are incredible! Helpful and friendly and very knowledgeable. Not a bad word to say about the hotel, clean rooms, great service, fresh food and always a smile and a story

5 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the old town, perfect location and a great base from which to explore the island. Can't wait to come back next year

Staff was very friendly and always avaliable! Room was cleaned every day which was nice. The placement of the hotel is also a huge plus: 50 m to nearest supermarket and the main shopping street in Malia is also right by
