Boutique hotels in Malia

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.

Decent hotel for a 3 star. The staff is super welcoming and very kind. A special mention for Elisa and Desilda for their smiles and joie de vivre. The cleaning is very good on arrival but leaves something to be desired for the rest of the stay. Their restaurant opposite is good but does not offer raki like all the other restaurants in Malia, too bad!!! The boss is moody too bad. The hotel is well located...

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

A beautiful, atmospheric place run by a family :) the center is 20 years old, and the conditions seem several years old, it is very clean, comfortable, air-conditioned rooms, the water in the shower has very good pressure, the beds are extremely comfortable, the bedding is pleasant. The area with palm trees by the pool gives you a unique rest, the pool is perfect. The hosts are always happy, friendly...

Lovely staff, very helpful. Great location and great value for money. Would definitely return.

The location of this hotel is great because you can easily walk everywhere! It is also comfortable that it has parking and it is at the end of a street so it is very quiet. It is a family ran hotel and they we were all very nice and welcoming! They have a good breakfast selection (for purchase) and a lovely pool. The only reason I cannot give the hotel 5 stars is because our room was quite outdated...

We stayed here for our honeymoon in Crete and we enjoyed it, big room, relaxing beads, near the beach. The swimming pool is a good feature too for the days when you don't want to walk to much.

Great place, clean and quite, well designed, great value at affordable price, super warm welcome and amazing hosts

Placed in the center of Malia, it's really near to many pubs, restaurants, fast foods and mini market. It's more appropriate for young guys instead of families with children because of the nightlife (high music till mourning). The residence is really beautiful, and the owners are really kind and helpful if you're looking for good food, awesome beaches and roads in Crete. Suggested starting from the...

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...

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....

We stayed here for one week. The hotel is great and the people are friendly. Food is great with warm food being served at lunch and dinner. Rooms are clean and the airconditioning is a welcome feature. The hotel has two pools and its own beach at the sea, with reefs just off shore which are great for snorkling. Overall a perfect stay for your holiday.

We had a very relaxing and tranquil stay at Castello Boutique. We stayed in one of the suites with sea view and infinity pool which are amazing, we enjoyed watching the sunset and sunrise from our balcony. The staff were very welcoming, Aphrodite and Christina on reception were particularly helpful. Good breakfast spread and clean facilities. Recommend going early for breakfast if you like hot/warm...

Amazing hotel. We are in a swim up room, and it has been perfect. Few niggles with the room as I think we are the first ever guests to stay in it, however they were all sorted out quickly. The service is excellent, the staff are all very friendly. We are here on a bed and breakfast tariff, and the breakfast has been great. I wouldn't bother with evening meals or lunch, there are so many nice tavernas...

A lovely hotel in the heart of a beautiful village called Sisi… Very close to the centre and everything that is going on. Breakfast isn’t great with a limited choice - however, it is very close to local tavernas and restaurants - with fabulous choices for lunch and dinner.

I have used the spa facilities as I am local to the area, and it's highly recommended! Enjoy your holidays!

Returned here for our second stay after the first fantastic experience. The second time around was just as good. Great hotel, wonderful attentive staff, and a great location.

No negative, all the staff are amazing can’t do enough the managed are about and make a point of speaking to you . It is spotless clean the maids speak and helpful . It is central to everything. The beds and pillows are very comfortable good bedding white towels not grey looking ., Nice swimming pool indoor is a very warm one . It’s nice to have staff making a point of speaking to you , had a week...

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...

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...

Arrived home this week from a fantastic 10 nights at Creta Blue. It was recommended to us by a family member. A fantastic hotel and possibly the first holiday I have returned home truly relaxed. It is a short walk down to the village which has plenty of bars/restaurants. We were half board and the dinners were lovely made even more enjoyable with the help of the somelier who assisted with the best...

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 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

Lovely place, friendly staff. The only fault was palm beach plays music till 5 in the morning.

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

Brillian all inclusive hotel. Staff very helpful Rooms bit 70s and in need of upgrade. But really clean throughout. Hotel food fresh tasty and great choice

Not 4 star.good low level appartments.not a hotel as 4 star would suggest.tiny rooms.4 folk living in such a small room is horrendous..food buffet type not bad.cleaning good reception good pools good.location good let's itself down with zero entertainment for the adults and the 2 pools not 3 are not large however the low-level large pool was great.could not have stayed here with a family of 4.3 of...

Beautiful hotel with 3 swimming pools and great food. Only minus is the rooms.

Top. Kids Club Vaso Fantastic. Elvis Bar TOP. Ernset Panos TOP.

A beautiful hotel in Malia. It features 3 large pools and a huge complex of apartment surrounding them. It is an All-inclusive resort with a huge array of meals and drinks to choose from. It is just 5 minutes walking distance from the main beach in Malia. The rooms are quite big, although a bit old and need renovation. They all have a balcony overlooking the pool. It was quite a nice experience and...

Hotel nice clean.friendly staff.food very nice.all inclusive bar OK...lots of bars and restaurants very close by.would recommend it.create malya a lovely place to be,for young and the more mature..

Our hotel for the week In Malia. Excellent and modern place with a nice pool and excellent food! The people that work here are all super nice and are multilingual!

Unfortunately, my stay at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. While the location seemed promising, the experience was overshadowed by hidden fees and poor customer service. When we checked out, I was shocked to find several unexpected charges that were never mentioned during our stay. To make matters worse, I was charged an outrageous fee for a tiny makeup mark on a towel—something that any decent...

What a wonderful hotel to enjoy a late 60th birthday present. The minute you walk through the door to be met with the warmest of welcomes, a truly great experience starts. Everybody is so warm friendly - and beyond efficient. This is customer service at its best. In particular the family really want to know you and ensure your happiness. My very special thanks go to Mum and Daughter who showered...

We recently just stayed at Matheo for a week in May and honestly we cannot fault it. On arrival they kindly upgraded our room to the suite and it was beautiful. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. They could not do enough for us, they were very kind and helpful. We would highly recommend and would 100% visit again.

Great staff, very friendly people everywhere: reception, housekeeping, waiterd, bars - all of them are very good and helpful. We had great time, our room was very beautiful and clean. Food was very good, and great theme restaurants. Thank you and we will be definitely back one day!

Dear guest's Thank you very much for writing such lovely reviews further to your recent stay at the matheo villas and suites. We are delighted you enjoyed your experience and that our staff were helpful to you. It is with feedback such as this that motivate us to continuously offer the best quality service and experience to our guests. Please be assured your comments will be shared with our Team...

Upon entering the Drossia Palms from the busy beach road in Malia you will find yourself in a beautiful, tranquil oasis. Close proximity to all of Malia’s nightlife, restaurants & beaches but you will feel like you’ve entered a completely separate resort as the well thought out surroundings, high specification rooms & of course the welcoming family ensure you have an excellent time! Highly recommend...

After a dodgy start to our holiday hotel, we decided to move & so glad we did, what a lovely hotel, real hidden gem! The staff were amazing & accommodating, nothing too much trouble. Thank you for making our holiday!!

Beautiful hotel, wonderful pool and the view with those palmtrees is amazing. We had a big and clean room with a nice patio. The bed was very comfy as well. All the staff of Drossia were very friendly and helpful :) The menu for lunch & drinks by the pool was great, we tried several meals and "Nonna" as we called the lovely lady who prepared the meals, makes the best food. We fell in love with the...

This was my first stay at Drossia Palms Hotel Malia (Crete) for 34 days in a Superior studio (ground floor great for people with mobility issues). Firstly, the pool area ambience is amazing with plenty of sunbeds, cabanas and sundeck lounges to choose from (as per photos on the website, no gimmicks here). The bar caters for a variety of drinks and a variety of meals. The cleaning services are daily...

I just got home from this hotel and it was an absolutely amazing experience, a friend and I went for the week and the bar staff Alex and Angelos were incredibly kind, Sophia herself was lovely and extremely helpful when we had any problems always putting customers first, they treat everyone as a new friend it was an amazing welcoming experience I will definitely return, food was delicious and cheap...

From booking to leaving it was the perfect holiday! Booked through *********** and had frequent communication with Sophia who was lovely and very helpful. As promised the taxi to pick us up was waiting, hassle free and friendly. When we arrived the owner was there to greet us and felt so relaxed and homely. The room was brilliant with access onto a patio and straight to the pool. Only notes on the...

We had wonderful time lodging in the junior suite overlooking the pool area and Aegean. The staff was very attentive and the food was good here too. The beach itself is a bit rocky but easily overcome. The area has many restaurants including one that is part of the family ownership: it was excellent.

The hotel facility is actually quite nice and the beach is good. But the rooms are not and the service slow and not really thoughtful. The surrounding area is a classic tourist trap with corresponding low/average quality restaurants. If you just want a beach, then it is a good low budget option, especially for teenagers that want cheap alcohol. For anything else I would recommend anything else that...

We stayed here 4 nights during our trip around the island of Crete and we had such a joyful and relaxed time. Great place with a lot of attention to details. From check-in welcome drink at the beach front bar until the very last minute, the attitude from every member of the team was so warm and friendly. The hotel is beach front with stunning views from the room and from the beach. Enough space for...

Great place to stay infront of the beach with beach umbrellas. Rooms are clean and have possible small cooking facilities. They clean the rooms everyday. People are welcoming and friendly. Nice pool and overall good ambience. An Instagram worthy place!

We have just stayed at Parthenis beach suits and it was perfect. A group of 13 of us with mixed ages from 19 to 63 and everyone loved the place. Accommodation great, the beds are so comfortable. The best nights sleep I have ever had staying on a Greek island. The food is delicious, pool area lovely, staff friendly, well located beach front beds with an amazing sunset view to top off beautiful days...

most amazing stay at a holiday hotel we ever had. the service is great. we loved it and we are looking forward to visit the hotel soon

I had a very good experience in this apartment. The premises were very clean, the location was good, and the service was impeccable. I recommend this place.

What a lovely stay!! Dora and Craig are amazing, such welcoming staff. Came on a girly holiday - out of season but still stuff to do! Old town is beautiful and the Malia ***** is about 15 min walk. The food was lovely, good portion and cocktail choices are big. The rooms are spacious, well updated and very clean, it wasn’t noisy where we was! Hotel is lovely! Deffo recommend. Only bad thing I would...

Pleased with the experience here at the The Sarpidon. I found it to be very clean, friendly and as a solo traveller( 3rd time in Crete) , the clientele is made up of plenty of frequent visitors who were wonderful to meet and chat too. The lovely Anne and Peter, Jane and Michelle and the hilarious Marie from Ireland - in promise I will return the glass 😇. The rapport the staff have with visitors is...

Room was very nice. The site is well maintained. Good selection of food but close to many restaurants for eating out, above all the staff make it a great leisurely holiday NO KIDS during my stay. What’s not to like. Clean pool and good prices.

This was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in for quite some time. Walking up in the dead of night, it doesn’t initially look too exciting, but upon meeting the team, seeing the quality of the rooms (at least ours), I was genuinely so happy that this was my place of choice for the week. The hotel is well-maintained, has a nice pool area, and all the rooms are easy to access. However, the main selling...

would definitely recommend these apartments. I was worried it was going to be mostly young people , but it was a very mixed age group and there was a lovely vibe about the place. The staff are so friendly, the place very clean, and the location was perfect. Once you closed your doors at night, you couldn't hear any noise. Even sitting on the balcony was very peaceful. The food was also very nice and...

Lovely hotel. Clean and spacious rooms with decent bed (not the most comfy lounges for those with kids needing to sleep there but ok). The staff are lovely and hospitable, the restaurant staff in particular are friendly and welcoming. Great pool and beach too. Lots of parking so easy with a rental.

We spent a relaxed and enjoyable week at golden bay hotel . We you want a relaxing break we recommend it . We will be back !!!

The golden bay hotel in Malia is the perfect place for summer holiday. The area is very calm even though you are just minutes of walking away from the center of Malia and the views from the balcony and the pool are stunning, overlooking the hills of Crete. The walk to the beach is also something to be happy about, because is just few minutes away and the beach is clean with beautiful sea. The rooms...

First time staying at Golden Bay, but me and my partner could not be happier. Great location very close to beaches and Malia *****, but also in a quiet area, so you can properly rest! Lovely room with sea view, which was big and had all we needed! House keeping was literally everyday! The host, Akis was really helpful and friendly! We would love to come back!

Several of us attending a conference nearby at the Cretaquarium stayed here for several nights. What struck me first was the view. It was pretty cool to step outside of my room, either through my front door, or from the corner of my deck, and see the Mediterranean Sea. The deck also faced inward toward the rest of the layout, so I really got a good look at all of the hotel. As others have noted,...

Beautiful hotel Didn't realize it was a 4* as we got a good deal.my word we were so surprised by the attentiveness of the staff in each area.The cleaners were second to none and worked long hours and came in everyday. Bar staff were so happy and really went out of their way to make your stay a lovely one. Also Penelope and Maria in the tarverna were beautiful girls and nothing was too much trouble...

I can’t say enough good things about the Mirage, spotlessly clean and friendly. Everyone we have met that works here has been lovely. First of all a massive thank you to Niko, you now feel like family. Also a massive thank you to Mike and Zak for making us feel welcome. The cleaning staff too have been amazing. The only downside has been a couple of other guests that I wish we had avoided but everything...

I have been to this hotel before and I gave it 4stars. However, this time I would definitely give it about 3⭐️⭐️⭐️. The reason why is because, they started charging for air conditioning, when that was not a thing, the prices of the snacks, and food were very expensive, and happy hours is not really happy hour. Perhaps my first time was really good and the expectations were high, but I did not think...

My partner and I booked a trip to Crete in September, not realising that we had booked a hotel in Malia as we are not big party people we were worried we’d be kept up all night by the bars and clubs on the Main Street. Our stay at Mirage Studios completely surpassed our expectations. We had the perfect romantic week away! The owners and staff were so friendly and attentive, the room was perfect for...

Very nice hotel with the most lovely staff

Niko is the best !!!! He is the best you will never find a man as sexy, as good at his job.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The hotel grounds are stunning, the roof top bar area and area around the pool is so nice couldn't fault it. The staff are lovely. Our room seemed to be in an older block so we felt it was really dated but for the price we paid we couldn't complain

What a gem. Well looked after from the start ,staff are great which makes a brilliant atmosphere. Rooms are basic but with all you need . Prices are reasonable for good food and drinks. BBQ night is a must great night with great food . Pool area is great and Freddie is one top bar man ( hope you’ve dried out) In all a fab place to stay will deffo be returning

Well what can I say. We arrived early morning and was met the the night guard who helped us with our luggage he took our cases to our room and turned on the lights for us and shown us our room. Such a very friendly guy. The room was spacious and very clean. It was cleaned ever two days with fresh towels beds made up. The pool area is kept clean and all the guests were so friendly everyone spoke to...

The staff was amazing as was the atmosphere. Met people from many different countries and made some friends. Perfect place for a solo traveler! The food was wonderful! Parking right across the street. Love the area. Would absolutely stay there again!

10/10 in every department. Staff, food, drinks and rooms all spot on. Our transfer to the airport didn’t turn up and the night porter / bouncer arranged 4 taxis for 16 of us at 6am after trying his best to contact our already paid for transfer. No better place to stay in Malia.

Once again Niko, Georgia, Tony and all the staff went out of their way to make us welcome. Perfect staff, perfect location, perfect holiday. Can't wait to go back. Jo & Sarah

This is a little gem, perfect location for old and new Malia, near plenty of tavernas, supermarkets and shops. Staff are amazing, helpful and made us feel at home. Rooms spacious and clean, pool lovely. I would book this again in a heartbeat and recommend to friends and family.

The family run apartments are small but perfect for what we needed, they have a great knowledge of the area and were so welcoming and made us feel a part of the family, I would recommend them to anyone that came this area. Thank you for being so lovely.

Last day at this super friendly hotel and like most guests we have already re booked for next year. The hotel is ideally situated just outside Malia old town which is beautiful and has numerous inexpensive restaurants to choose from. Last but not least a big thank you to Ingrid, George and family for making us feel so welcome and Marianna for being super efficient behind the bar serving everyone with...

First time to Crete and Mellissa apartments was recommended to me. I have a fantastic holiday and mainly down to the family run apartment. Help kind and very embracing the hospitality was 5 Star. The location was perfect. I would highly recommend and definitely return.

Excellent place to stay. All the staff are excellent and very friendly. Special thanks to the Manager who put a fan in the second room as it was quite hot at night. Also the young French lady working at reception and the bar for being so welcoming on our arrival.

Such an amazing friendly family that run these apartments, George, Ingrid, Elias and Anna could not do enough for you. Not forgetting the lovely Christina on the bar during the day, her breakfast is a must. The pool is lovely and inviting with plenty of sunbeds on the terrace along with a pool table in the dining area at the rear of the bar.

Very clean and friendly Hotel! The pool area is very clean and the hotel is calm and the rooms have everything which is needed for a trip. The people there are very friendly and explain everything very properly and patiently. Will definitely come back again!

Good location , quiet gardens ,decent WiFi Hot water , spacious room terrace outside too.

Theoni appartments is a walking distance to the old village, main strip, bus stop, shops, supermarkets and restaurants. We even just walk to go to the beaches. This accomodation is very clean and most of all, the owners and staff are very hospitable. There's a kitchenette. The pool and bar area are also well kept. We appreciate that there is security in the evening and it is relaxed and quiet. We...

Nice place, clean, beautiful people!!!

Fantastic place, clean, beautiful people.

Family hotel with amazing service

Fantastic holiday here. In the centre of the malia. However when you are in your rooms at night, noise is minimal. Staff are really friendly. Nico was really helpful, and would go above and beyond to help you with anything. Would definitely recommend these apartments

Cannot fault these apartments at all.We have just returned from a brilliant holiday.Everthing was what we expected clean and fresh.We was a little concerned when we got dropped off to see how near the ***** we was as I don't sleep very well but I had no problem at all.We will be looking to book again .Reception staff was very helpful with things we needed to know information etc.If you want a nice...

Excellent structure, very well kept and clean, extremely courteous and helpful staff. Through pedestrian access you are directly in the street where the clubs and clubs are and in any case it remains a private and not very noisy structure. Just 300 meters from the Malia beach where the most important beaches are club

Was a great hotel room and was exactly as described and there is a pool and bar that you have access to right next to the hotel. Nikos the manager was great the man doesn’t stop working, was very friendly and had a laugh with us. Was quiet despite being right on the ***** in a prime location. We really enjoyed our stay!

Structure Close to the center and all the venues. There is a beautiful swimming pool available to customers. The apartment is very functional, structured on two levels, the living area with two beds, and the sleeping area with the bedroom and a beautiful bathroom. The only negative was having to pay for air conditioning separately!

What an incredible apartment set up they have here. I can’t put my finger on what it is but l will try to explain. Firstly, the apartments are clean, air conditioning is brilliant and the fridge works beautifully. I’m going to leave that now as what makes this place special is the staff. Maria, the manager of this family business is just brilliant. She will make things happen of it is within her powers...

Last minute end of season get away, I wasn’t expecting much from this hotel because of the reviews. Yeah it was basic and could have done with a better clean but it was fine to sleep, shower and change, we didn’t use cooking facility’s but had your basics to cook if you wanted to… The bar staff and food was really good we ate a few times in the week but went out most of the time exploring the island...

Booked due to excellent price and location and certainly wasn't disappointed. Centrally located in Malia a stones throw from the ***** and the Old Town. Warm welcome received and invited to join the Sunday night barbecue for a fee but free tshirt 😀. The barbecue was excellent, great fun and plentiful food. WiFi was great and the hotel room was well equipped. My only very small disappointment was...

Good enough hotel it is over 4 buildings and I stayed in sky 2 the room had all amenities (cutlery crockery washing up liquid and hotplate along with pots and pans and a kettle) so everything that may be needed for a self catering holiday. Security was quite strict so felt safe at night knowing that. My room was cleaned regularly and new towels and sheets were provided several times during my stay...

A great location, rooms were basic but cleaned every day and were spotless, we stayed in 207 which was self catering the only thing wrong there was no microwave or toaster, just a 2 ring on the counter hob. The BBQ was good then food was lovely and there was plenty of it, I can't comment on the Greek dancing because sadly I had to leave because I was poorly. On our last day we had to vacate our room...

Stayed at the Aegean Sky for a week for what we would say was a bargain deal!, was happy to see a lovely pool & bar, on check in felt tired after travelling was then hit with all the Sales for the A/C, Safe, Greek night, Wi-Fi offering different deals, I said we will think about it & was told the deal offered is for now!, I said we are unpacking & will pop down after , the place ticked a lot of boxes...

For a 3 star hotel it’s the best service u can get if ur looking for a party holiday, the owner and his son r great people and always wanting to help out if u need anything.

Martha at the front desk was so helpful and recommended great restaurants to try - they were fantastic. Katerina at the pool restaurant was so helpful and gregarious took care of all our culinary needs. We will definitely come back and recommend to our friends and family.

A beautiful, small-scale hotel with fantastic views. The hotel is located in a quiet area and has a large swimming pool with a bar and a restaurant. Breakfast is simple but very well presented. The staff are friendly and always ready to help with any questions or issues. Within just a 5 to 10 minute walk, you’ll find the old town of Malia, with plenty of restaurants and shops. Also, there is a supermarket...

This property needs some maintenance.

The hotel was nice, but we got disturbed by our party people neighbors that would come at the hotel at 4/5 in the morning and could hear anything through the thin walls and door. Otherwise, same thing every morning for breakfast, but it was close to some great restaurants for dinner. Also great sunset view and close to the highway The staff was friendly

We spent a week at Notos Hotel. The staff is really nice. We were supposed to get a room with "sea view" but we have a room on the ground floor with a few on the floor and people walking to the reception, not amazing because we had to close our curtains every time we were in our room. Bathroom is a bit small, gets wet sometimes the whole day after just one quick shower. Breakfast is nice, good variety...

Friendly staff, spacious rooms, clean pool, nice view and good breakfast

Lovely quiet base to explore Crete. Room cleaned daily, towels replaced frequently, adequate kitchenette for occasional meals. 20 minute walk to Malia old town- we were impressed with Odas and San Georgio tavernas. We arranged many trips with GetYourGuide who picked up a few minutes walk from the hotel. Nice clean pool, pleasant, well priced drinks and food bar, sea over the wall from pool area. Lovely...

So beautiful! Great location, great property!

Beautiful place and view right on the beach. Clean and nice stuff.

We had an unforgettable vacation. The hotel was beautiful, with so many lovely details. The staff and the hotel owners were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back. Many thanks for making our holiday so special! Best, Nicole&lea

Pyrgos Beach Hotel is a lovely, quiet, family-run hotel right on the coast. We loved our clean, spacious room with a balcony and side view of the sea - waking each morning to the sound of waves on the beach. We really appreciated the fridge and kitchenette, making it possible to keep food fresh and do simple breakfasts for ourselves (although the hotel bar and restaurant is also a good option). What...

Lovely Stay at Pyrgos Can’t fault our stay, Dimitris and staff were really accommodating for our late arrival and then again for our late flight, allowing us to leave our bags at the hotel. Rooms were really nice and modern and beds were always made for us. The huge balcony with the hot tub was an added bonus. Location is good, around 10-15 mins walk to the ***** and 20 to the old town. and the beach...

Great location right by the beach at the end of the strip, note €10 city tax (this is standard around Europe so I wasn’t surprised) & air conditioning was also an extra €65 for the week but it wasn’t needed as the evenings are cooler. Also note they don’t provide toiletries. Staff are very friendly greeted us with a welcome drink and every morning I was greeted and could chat away. I think for the...

Stayed here for a week with a few friends, and it's been an amazing week. Alex and Yannis were amazing hosts throughout our stay and hopefully see them next year !!

We were up 3 flights of stairs which was hard going as an older guest. View was worth it though. No TV which hubs was sad about as we sometimes like a siesta and he likes the TV on. Staff make this place. Owners Nikos and Maria, ably staffed by Victoria and Yannis (aided by Toyah and Emily in the night sessions) who cannot do enough for you. Location is perfect at the beach end of the strip.

8 of us have just stayed for 10 days its brill all staff are so pleasant nico n maria are the owners who cant do enough for you vicky alex n yainis were wonderful also the cooks n the cleaners have made our stay fantastic also marias mum n dad are really nice friendly people cant fault anything us 8 ladies are all in our 50s/60s and never once felt old in the best location for the beach strip etc...

Perfect, familiar hotel. Very friendly, you feel like at home. Not a "normal" hotel. Good for young party people and older, too!

Great service! The same hotel that The Inbetweeners cast stayed in when they visited after filming their movie. Even though the movie was set in Malia, apparently the location that they actually filmed it was Magaluf because of season timings etc, however the cast went to Malia afterwards to get a feel for it, and this apparently is the hotel in which they stayed. Maria and Victoria were awesome, as...

Perfect location in Malia… private ground floor apartment with separate kitchen and balcony on the main *****. This beach is a 5min walk. Too good for the price!

Good, clean hotel. Excellent location. When I read reviews about this hotel I was afraid to book it. But everything turned out well! I was happy with everything.

Nice location and apartments are spacious and clean

Not bad. Very friendly host, Near to main road, very noisy.

Everything was very good. Cleaning every other day. A pleasant stay, thank you.

Very simple and good value for money. Issues with hot water and aircon supplement, but well situated and friendly, helpful staff.

Absolutely amazing stay, we were a girl group of 3 and were made to feel so welcome and safe! Nothing was ever a bother and you could have a laugh with the staff and other guests here. The cleanliness was fab. Food was fresh and based on Greek dishes every night. Another bonus was that there is no sun-bed reserving and you were always able to find a sun-bed. Would definitely come back here again,...

We stayed as a group of 14 for 11 nights at Villa Mare Monte, which is about a 15-minute walk to the old town and set in the hills with beautiful views of both the mountains and the sea. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and informative, making us all feel at home. The one-bedroom accommodation was fantastic. My only small grumble would be that the studio was a little...

Recently back from holiday as a group of 5 girls and had the best time. Stay in apartment room was very clean spacious and modern, overall very pleasant. The ***** is about a 15 min walk down a hill, not very well lit but a taxi is about 10 euro on average. If you’re not the best walker a taxi is needed when coming back for the *****. Air conditioning is not included and was about 80 euro for our ...

We recently stayed at villa mare monte on a friends holiday and had the absolute most perfect time ! This hotel was absolutely stunning , which was a bonus to the friendly and welcoming staff. The staff here honestly made our stay 10/10 and we were so sad to leave them. This hotel is perfect for anyone , we went on a friend’s trip but there were families , couples and elderly people and everyone seemed...

We are currently staying at Villa Mare Monte, what a find. Beautiful location close to the Old town. The staff are so lovely nothing too much trouble , very friendly and accomodating . The rooms are spotless and bedding , towels etc are changed frequently. The pool area is beautiful and you can watch the goats on the mountain. I would say this is a gem of a find. Well done to all the staff and owners...

We are on a last day of staying at this lovely, small and peaceful hotel. We’ve been here 2 weeks, the rooms are very clean and quiet, ours has hillside views at the front where you can spot the goats! From our balcony at the back we had a lovely sea view. The pool and bar areas are spotless and again, very peaceful and relaxing, we also enjoyed the crazy golf! Great stay and would definitely return

Hospitality 10/10 Clean and nice Modern studio On territory you have everything you need ( beach stuff like umbrellas, sand mattresses, noodles , balls , sun creams) Owners are very friendly ♥️ Definitely come back again Felling home fare away from home

We simply can’t get enough of this place! From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness that makes you feel like part of the family. The staff is absolutely wonderful—attentive, caring, and always eager to fulfill every wish, no matter how small. The cozy, familiar atmosphere creates the perfect setting to relax and enjoy both the charming accommodation and the lively...

Owners immediately make you feel at home. Has bar, small pool. My room was excellent. Fully recommend.

We had a great time at these studios, they are kept very clean with such lovely hosts who can’t do enough for you. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a chilled holiday 😎. The beach and a couple of restaurants are a short walk away and the old town is so nice with lovely restaurants, it’s about a 30 min walk and 10euros in a taxi back.

What an amazing place so friendly, immaculate, comfy beds, hot showers, delicious cocktails, beautiful decor the list is endless. Giannis & Illiana are so welcoming from the minute you arrive until you have to leave. We had so much fun and laughter and made so many memories. We will definitely be returning.

Giannis and Ilinnia are possibly the greatest hosts I've come across and I can't thank them enough for their help during our holiday. Great location, only being a 20 minute walk from the new town or a 10 minute walk to the beach. Rooms were exceptionally clean. If you're planning on going to Malia I would 100% recommend this place.

Ignore all the other reviews Our stay at Litsa was perfect. It was a few minute walk to Old Town and 10 min ish to midtown where night life is. The rooms were comfortable and fulfilled basic needs. You get what you paid for. The two hosts are amazing and kind to talk to.

I had a wonderful stay at Litsa Studios, the owners were extremely nice and everything was perfect!
