Boutique hotels in Malia

This was our second visit to this hidden little gem & like the first time, it didn’t disappoint. We again stayed in the villas with our own private pool. So peaceful & relaxing whilst only being a short walk to the main strip & beach, perfect location. Very clean & comfortable, thank you to Marina & family for making our holiday amazing again. Special thanks to housekeeping for doing an amazing job...

Amazing find! After booking a package holiday and finding the hotel to be sub-standard, we managed to secure a 1 bedroom room here. We cannot rate these hotel/ apartments/ villas high enough. Spotless in all areas, the most comfiest bed ever, beautiful tranquil pool area, all run by Marina and her fantastic family. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We have already made plans to return! Sun village...

Enjoyable stay We had a very enjoyable stay at Sun Village for 2 weeks. The staff were very friendly, the rooms very clean and the hotel very quiet considering how central it is to Malia.

Very nice and cozy boutique hotel runned by a very nice family. Stayed one week with my 11 year old son. Good snorkeling and diving in the area. We will definitely go again.

This was a real find and made our stay in Crete all the more special. The Sun Village is a little oasis. A family run boutique hotel in the busy town of Malia. Set back from the road and about 400 metres from the beach it is an easy 5 minute walk into town. The hotel has a large pool set in gardens with ample sun beds and shaded areas. We stayed in the Suites with each suite having their own private...

We’ve been here for 10 days and I loved it so so soooo much!!! We had a suite with a private pool and it was amazing! Marina is the sweetest person who runs sunvillage with her lovely family!! I will come back for sure!

The owners went out of their way to ensure our comfort as much as they could. They even helped us out with a scale for our luggage. Our overall experience was good, however the reason that I give it only 4 stars is that there were material/structural improvements that could have improved our stay. The key switched everything off when removed from its slot inside the room, which was annoying, so, we...

We stopped one night, passing through, and had a great time. The structure is small and is made up of a series of "houses" around the swimming pool and the snack bar. The apartments are comfortable, very clean and equipped with all comforts. The location is excellent, quiet but close to the shopping streets of Malia. The owner is very kind and always present. The price is really low for this type of...

The staff, pool, location, mattress but most of all the price.

I visited this unique hotel and from the moment I arrived I knew I had chosen well. The room was favourably located in a secluded position away from the road with an easy walk to the town, best restaurants and supermarkets. Room was also well appointed with new furniture and nice touches such as air conditioning and a good quality hair dryer. The pool area was large, well maintained and offers plenty...

The apartments are basic but nice enough. The air conditioning is not free. 6 euros a night. This is not stated in the description when you book. The WiFi is pretty good. Good location but a good 15 min walk to beach but close to the main strip. The apartments are not cleaned every day either and had to asked. I have not stayed in an apartment self catering for many years so maybe this is the normal...

Cool but AC is an extra. The pool is free and owner super kind

The Braised Lamb was something special — slow-cooked lamb in a flavorful sauce that soaked into the potatoes and spinach, with a refreshing touch from the Greek yogurt. A remarkable dish that reveals the authentic taste of Greece. And our waiter was the most cheerful and friendly one (Costas)🤓

We had an absolutely fantastic experience dining here. The food was perfect, everything from salads to desserts. We had a bottle of great local wine. The service was timely and kind.

I will not star rooms or localisation since I wasn't there at a hotel. I was at a restaurant, and as a restaurant I give it 6/5 stars. It was The best Greek food I ever ate period. It was delicious, very fresh, and very big portions. We arrived at lunch time (around 1330 local time) and the food was served in under 30 minutes from the moment we arrived. The service was awesome. And they have their...

I had an amazing experience at Drossia Taverna in Malia. The food is excellent, with intense flavors and impeccable dishes – everything I tried was simply delicious. The location is great, and the hotel room was perfect, offering comfort and relaxation. A big plus is the manager, who is very flexible, always helpful, and open to improving anything to make the experience flawless. It’s the perfect...

Only came here for some drinks and bread. But if the basics are this good then I can only imagine what the test is like. We will be coming back tonight to see how dinner will be. The service is quote relaxed but warm and inviting. The view is mainly of car hire places. But funnily enough we went across and hired one. There is a lot of traffic going through but to be expected along the strip. The...

All food was amazing! but this guy walking around with fresh tomatoes and lots of other delicious vegetables gives me the perfect experience 😍

We had the best time at this hotel. Me and my mother felt very welcomed by the owner and the staff. The room was very clean and we had everything that we needed. The owner, Vangelis organized a trip on a boat for the guests and it was amazing. We will definitely come back here and we will book the entire hotel for my friends:)) Greetings from Romania and see you soon! Diandra and Diana💕

Lovely and quiet nice food friendly staff ,would come back

Vagelis collected us from the airport & was very welcoming. Hotel lovely location in Old Town. 1st floor room with balcony over pool area. Great view of mountains behind. Room clean & tidy, plenty of storage space & nice size. Tasty breakfast, staff friendly & explained menu alternatives. Self service drinks and food to table

Absolutely everything amazing. The staff, the food and the hospitality. Thank you for all the guys there: Xenia, Gino, Dimitris and Vagelis, all of them. They are a big family and with them you feel at home! Congratulations also to the kitchen staff, the food is very tasty and good! (Also the pizza really nice and I am Italian girl) I highly recommend this place, you will never regret it!!!

I can’t recommend this place enough, James the owner was so welcoming and generous to myself and my friend. Fabulous service, we had lovely freshly cooked pizza cooked to perfection and James even made us a delicious cocktail on the house! Wonderful family run business and we can’t wait to go back! :)

We were here last year, forgot to leave a review but here it is anyway because it was so nice here! The nicest people work here who really make you feel at home. Also a nice hotel where old town, the beach and the nightlife are nearby.

The staff here are very welcoming and friendly. George, the manager, and his team took really good care of me and my family. Thank you! Unlike other posts, the pool wasn’t over booked and under utilized when I visited. Several great restaurants around the hotel too. We had a wonderful time here.

Beautiful beachfront hotel in the heart of Stalida. The Alai Marriott – A Tribute Portfolio Hotel has a relaxed atmosphere, two lovely pools, and loungers right on the beach. Big thanks to Ken and Vangils for the warm welcome, George for his great follow-up, and May, Jovlyn, and Andonis for their outstanding service. Dinner by the ocean was a highlight — delicious food and a gorgeous setting. Room...

We stayed at Alai Tribute Portfolio twice this October, at the beginning of our trip and then again to end our holidays, because we simply loved it that much. The service is excellent, the people are incredibly kind, and the breakfasts are delicious. What really impressed us is that even at the end of the season, there are still many staff members working, which shows how much the hotel cares about...

Wished we'd found this little gem on our first day! We stayed at a hotel in Malia and came for a beach day at Stalis. We stumbled across this place whilst looking for a sun lounger to rent. 6euros per bed with comfy cushions - bargain! The service here is impeccable, the iced coffee is lovely and the food is the best we've had all holiday. Definitely one to stop off at, even if you haven't booked a...

Beautiful Hotel and amazing staff. We arrived after a delayed flight to this fantastic hotel. We were immediately welcomed and offered refreshments and shown to our room which was room 424. Lovely room not the best views we were on the side facing another building but you can still see the sea and the watch people going by on the main road. Plenty of room to store your clothes separate toilet and shower...

Overall the hotel has had a beautiful refurbishment and many of the features are amazing. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, nothing seemed to much trouble for them. Food was excellent although quite a limited menu for dinner which you ordered and was served at the table, a nice touch. Our holidays also centre around the hotels and bars that are located nearby, of which there are plenty....

I have stayed in some wonderful hotels and this is one of the best. Location- a short walk to Sissi village with lots of taverns and small shops . The bus stop is in the village and we caught the bus to visit Malia and Aghios , for a few euros . Hotel - very open plan and spotlessly clean . Very peaceful. We are staying in room 304 which has a pool, the outside area has a small table and chairs...

We had a very good stay at Castello Boutique Resort & Spa. The hotel is well maintained, clean, and quiet, ideal for a relaxing holiday. It's located close to the center of Sissi, so it's easy to walk to the harbour, shops, and restaurants, but still feels peaceful and private. The rooms are modern and comfortable. Some have private pools. Not ours but it was well equipped and everything worked as...

Very nice hotel, we had a room with pool view. It was clean, small hotel so not very busy and good was lovely. Is on the expensive side but definitely worth the money. Suggest bringing ear plugs as entertainment is loud if you’ve got to get up early.

We had an amazing stay at Castello Boutique Hotel! The pool area is gorgeous and so relaxing, perfect for lazy days in the sun. The breakfast was fantastic every morning with plenty of choice – a big shout-out to Konstantina, who always greeted us with a big smile and such friendly attentive service. Our room was spotless, comfortable and beautifully designed, and the location couldn’t be better ...

We arrived in sissi Greece. A little fishing village. We stayed in Castello hotel and spa Adults only. We had our own suite which was fabulous. It was so peaceful and I felt so happy. It's a safe place to visit. The people are so friendly and happy to see you.. The food is fabulous and fresh which makes you want to eat. The cakes are delicious. We did a few tours to feel the history and culture...

My stay at this hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and the staff took care of every detail. The food and drinks were excellent – everything fresh and tasty. The evening shows were the real highlight for me, full of energy and fun. Andreas made the atmosphere truly special – bravo! I can sincerely recommend this place and I’ll be happy to return.

We stayed at Angeia suites for 9 days excellent hotel I would use again the staff are so helpful and polite can't do enough for you breakfast is basic but okay not far from shops & restaurants plus supermarkets isissi is a lovely place especially the harbour

This was our second visit to Angela Suites Boutique Hotel and it definitely didn’t disappoint. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. Hotel is kept spotlessly clean by the hard working, happy smiley staff. A great holiday and can’t wait to visit again. Love from the four oldies. X

We have been returning to this hotel for the past seven years, and it has truly become our home away from home. The staff are simply wonderful and personable, treating us more like old friends than guests. Their generosity and genuine warmth are the main reasons we keep coming back year after year. The hotel is always spotlessly clean, and the whole team go out of their way to be helpful and attentive...

We have stayed many times and there’s always a cheery welcome and helpful attitude. Lovely staff always happy to help you.

2nd time in Sisi and this hotel was a great choice from moment we arrived staff were great ! Room was on top floor with comfy bed and very quiet only issue we had during the week was at times there was a strong smell of drains . Our stay was on a half board basis which was for ease and both the choices at breakfast and evening meals were excellent with plenty of choice for both. Staff also were lovely...

Yet another perfect holiday at Angela Suites. The reason we come back year on year is because the people have become friends, they go above and beyond to make our holiday special. From arranging my beautiful birthday flowers (thanks Konstantino!), my card (thanks Katerina), the wonderful mocktails and cocktails made by Lefteris, the free Greek lessons from George and Katerina and the spotless room...

You cannot fault this hotel ,the staff are so friendly and welcoming.

My husband and I spent 5 days here a week ago. It was the perfect break from our busy lives. The hotel is a small family run concern and is absolutely charming. Lovely pool area with views over Heronissos and the sea. The staff were just lovely. Always smiling and doing all they could to make our stay special. Good food and nice rooms. Perfect location away from the melee of the main resort, but...

The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection...

We stayed in the adults only part of the hotel room 629. That part has 4 rooms with a private pool. The rooms are amazing! Large room with al large balcony and huge bathroom. Everything is very clean. For every room luxury sunbeds by the private pool. Personel is fantastic, super friendly an helpfull. They made also the difference besides rooms etc. Breakfast is also delicious. We are still there and...

A True Gem George and his fantastic team make for such an amazing holiday. The service is superb and they remember returning guests with a genuine touch. The Blue Moon restaurant which forms part of the hotel serves high quality food incl a made to order breakfast incl fruit, yogurt, honey, eggs etc.

Our second stay at Creta blue and just as relaxing as the first. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main town but only a few minutes walk to koutloufari village which is full of tiny streets full of friendly restaurants, bars and shops. We stayed in the adults only suite which is amazing. A sea view from your enormous bathroom, comfortable large bed with everything you could need. Breakfast is...

Great property have stayed there 3 times now and found it to be a good base near to every thing sea restaurants shops bars transport can’t fault it staff are lovely very friendly and helpful

This hotel offers a shuttle service from and to the airport, the cost is 45€ per route. We booked the shuttle service from the hotel because we arrived late at night. The driver was a young man, very helpful and meanwhile driving he was explaining us the city. The hotel is half board with breakfast and dinner. Even though we did the check-in very late, they offered us the dinner, some delicious food...

Dinner variations were really good but breakfast was repetitive. Room was nice and had a big balcony. Bathroom light was very dim which i didn’t like. Also the information letter says breakfast until 11 but actually it’s until 10:30, so keep that in mind if you’re staying there. Waiting staff were nice and polite. The pool area was cozy and nice place to kill time.

everything was great. I liked everything. The room was clean, the food was great, the staff was nice and friendly. The bartenders always made delicious cocktails. I would love to come back here. the sea nearby

Amazing hotel! Super clean, comfortable rooms, and very friendly staff. Great location too. Highly recommend!

A really good experience staying here. The staff are very polite. The breakfast and dinner was superb. The location is perfect, close to the beach, shops and nightlife. Overall a really positive experience

I don't think this hotel deserves a 4-star rating. It's a simple, small hotel. But the location is simply gorgeous – right in the center of everything :). The staff is very friendly and helpful, especially at reception. The hotel has a great exit to the sea through the dining room. The sea view from the dining room is excellent (see photo). But for some reason, this hotel charges a 10-euro deposit...

We stayed at Kalloa Hotel for a family vacation, and it was simply perfect! The service was outstanding – evry body always friendly, professional, and with a smile. Our rooms had a breathtaking sea view, were clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed every moment. A very special thanks to *Maria* and *Athena* , who made our holiday unforgettable. They took care of everything – from upgrading our rooms...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect.

Great location, near to the beach, center and bus stop. The room was good but there was no daylight during the day (economic room). It has been cleaned every day. Breakfast was tasty but monotonous so if you stay for a week, there's no choice more than eggs, cheese, sausages and yoghurt. The service was nice and helpful. Small minus for a small and separate pool without the sunlight. I recommend if...

Our stay at Kahlua Boutique was absolutely perfect! The location is unbeatable – just 10 meters from the sea, offering stunning views and the sound of the waves right at your doorstep. The hotel itself is modern, clean, and stylish, providing everything you could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. Waking up to...

Very noisy street till ~4 in the morning. But balcony doors do the job, heared just basses. We took room with seaside wiew. It worth money. At evening, balcony was our best place where to be. Location is very good, as all tour providers are picking up from this place. Full of shops and restaurants at the front street. Suggest to eat every time in other place or at beach front. Choise is very very big

Very nice location in the center of Hersonissos!! Everything you need is nearby!! The apartments are luxury and very clean!! Highly recommended!!!

Stayed for 6 nights with teenagers. Perfect! The teenagers had their own apartment and we had one above. We had a view of Palm Beach Club, where you can rent a cot for 5 euros a day. Outside noise disappears as soon as you close the double doors. Yes, there's some noise in the evenings from teenagers coming home walking through the hallway and the music from Palm Beach during the day, but you know...

Hi, if your reading this review means that you want to travel to crete and your looking for a nice apartment... Look no further you've reached it. Had such a nice expirence clean room (daily cleaning) view is extraordinary pool view and beach view last but not least the manager Lambros is an amazing guy he will help you for everything just give him a call from the taxi from the airport all your trips...

Lambros the owner is a great character and extremely helpful however the Dorian apartment's as nice as they were it is right in the centre of Hersonissos which was noisy both night and day if it's a party holiday your after this would be the place to stay if you prefer a quieter holiday during the summer then choose somewhere on the edge of town

Very clean, comfortable and nice hotel with amazing seaview. Very friendly service. We enjoyed spending time there. Great support in ordering a taxi to the airport. Beautiful yard with pool, umbrellas and sun beds. People who like silence should take into account that there's an open-air discotheque just infront of the hotel that works till 1am.

Clean, friendly, close to beach, pool, shops and restaurants

It’s located at the far end of the strip, serving staff are really good but the reception staff aren’t great - super junior and not very well trained. Check-in is via an app which is just stupid when you’ve provided 90% of the detail in advance for example. Rooms are quite good but dated somewhat and in need of new beds (a little on the uncomfortable side). The pool area is ok but definitely has the...

Infinity Blue Hotel and spa is more like a three star hotel, than a four star one. Before booking this trip for three adults, I made sure to check the photos and reviews. I booked as it looked very promising and beautiful. We stayed on the 1st floor and the room that we were given was very dated. The shower could only fit one person and it did not have a door or a curtain, so we always had water on...

I booked this hotel through jet2 package holidays! It was my first time staying in Greece. I stayed for a week! Pros: • The hotel staff are lovely, that is everybody from the house keepers to the kitchen and wait staff to the people at the front desk. Always smiling and polite. The lady who checked me in was super friendly and l liked that they actually took you to your room when you first check in...

The hotel is relatively nice and clean, and the suites with jacuzzis are great. The breakfast is also complete, and the gym is a big plus. HOWEVER, the staff should forbid people from smoking during breakfast, even in the outdoor area — it’s disgusting to have to eat while surrounded by smoke. Also, the staff should not allow loud young guests to play ball games in the swimming pool, as it completely...

This is our second time staying at this beautiful hotel — the first time was in 2023, and now again in 2025. My husband and I truly love it here! The service is excellent, and the staff is always kind, welcoming, and attentive to every guest’s needs. I would especially like to thank two amazing people at the pool bar: George and Costas . They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. Their...

Everything was perfect! Even though we were only there for one night, we were impressed by the facilities. The staff were friendly. As we had the breakfast option included with our night and had to leave very early they prepared a box lunch for us to eat before catching the plane.

We stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed the peaceful location, right in the old part of the village. The staff were wonderful – very friendly, warm, and welcoming. The lady at the reception was incredibly kind and helpful, and the housekeeper, Mira, was very attentive and professional. The rooms are modern and spotlessly clean, which we really appreciated. Breakfast was tasty and had a good variety...

Just got back from a great stay here staff are so great nothing is to much trouble Maria is just so so helpful with her local knowledge and places to see the housekeeping are great so happy and always smiling Very clean hotel rooms very spacious pool area could do with a little TLC but great space Very quiet hotel and just a stones throw away from local village which is a fantastic location to eat...

Nice, pleasant stay Nice hotel with great location. Very positive stay. Though: Cleaning of the pool could be improved and sensors in windows, allowing us to operate the aircon did not work.

This hotel is the best we’ve ever stayed at. My husband and I have just spent 9 days there and had the most wonderful time. The hotel is extremely clean and has very pleasant amenities. It is in a beautiful location, has every facility you need but most importantly the staff were sooooo pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with smiling happy faces. From Nicholai the manager...

Me and my partner stayed here, we had an amazing experience, the rooms are very clean, modern and spacious. The staff were absolutely amazing so welcoming, friendly and also always there to help, George who works at the bar became part of our family and so did the chef and receptionists and cleaners, the food was good quality and there was a lot of variety, we will definitely be returning, it was such...

One week Half-Board stay, food pleasant, drinks somewhat lacking (don't ask the bartender to show you his own creations). Old town is very close by and has a good selection of restaurants and basic amenities. Pool ice cold (maybe good or bad) Shower leaked all over floor but otherwise room great and cleaned daily to a high standard. Staff all charming and happy to help
