Hotels on first line in Malia

The hotel itself is very clean, with good size pools and plenty of sunbeds (with a strict "no reserving sunbeds" policy). It's perfectly located next to the beach which again, was very quiet at this time of year

Be prepared to pay extra for sunbeds on the beach, although we didn't bother - the sand was perfectly comfortable

Hey we had a great time. My daughter has coeliac disease. So gluten free. The chefs and catering staff did so much fir her. Everyday they made her fresh food. I will come back next year. I miss so much. Cold here.

We stayed at this hotel in the penultimate week of the season so had the benefit of great weather at a quieter time

The hotel is located a good 30/45 min walk from the main hustle and bustle of Malia with very little nearby (although a nearby restaurant by the port and Eva Taverna are worth venturing out to, both only 10/15 min walk)

We loved the beach which is just at the back of our hotel. No complaints other than there was no evening entertainment but I am guessing it was because we went end of season

The spa is very fun; they let you bargain as part of the daily deal, which is an experience in itself. However, the service there is also five-star. There is even tennis available. The tennis coach is a really cool guy

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

The staff is incredibly friendly – a huge thank you to Eleni and Thanos! You couldn’t ask for better service at the pool bar during peak season – we looked forward to seeing them every day (not just for the drinks!)

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

The resort is beautiful, our ocean front suite with private pool was incredible, the food was amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and the overall experience was brilliant

Amazing stay at Ikaros Beach Resort in Crete! My wife and I had a four night stay here recently and it was a fantastic holiday

Hotel has it's own beach and nice pools, but the rest (Room, Fitness, etc. Wellness services are offered by an external supplier with an very good quality (well, price. ) but limited to various massages (recommended!)

Excellent place to stay . Food is great , location right on the beach and staff brilliant

Beautiful resort in a beautiful location, however, few things are missing to give it a full score. The hotel offers great views at the mountains on one side and the open sea on the other

Omg,this place is a dream come true,lovely beach,lovely and spacious hotel rooms,i loved the mini golf course,the tennis court , i loved the staff so friendly and lovely

It has its own sun beds on the beach for its guest, and there is usually no problem to find a spot there

We spent a week at Kernos Beach Hotel in Crete. The hotel is nice and updated, spacious rooms and a really nice atmosphere. The beach is spacious too, not too full with sunbeds

All the resort is beautifully designed and taken care off and very very clean. The resort has 5 pools, usually empty of people in the water but with people on the sunbeds around them

After two days, they give us a gift upgrade to the suite with own swimming pool. Also, the hotel is near the beach and pleasure beach. The entertainment in the evening was also nice

The only disadvantage for us was that the beach,( which is really close and you can go in your swim suit and where you have a reserves seat ) is very narrow and crowded with chairs which don't leave the space to feel the sea or even to walk on the beach

On the end of August, beginning of September we stayed at the High Beach White wing of this resort, which is for adults only, in Malia

Starting off the holliday, my experience was really good! The staff are very helpfull and also very nice. They always smile and show interest to the guests. I was there beginning september for one week

It was most relaxing. Great food, great service, clean and very nice personel. We stayed for 5 nights and the only thing we regret is not staying longer

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

Stayed here twice bit pricey but well worth it, has a fantastic swimming pool and has easy access to the beach, also has sunbeds to hire

Just got a couple of negative points: - No music at the bar pool - not expensive but you have to pay the sunbed - we had booked a superior double room, On arrival we were shown the room we had booked (twin bed simple room)

Fantastic pool area with very friendly staff and good food. Direct access to the beach from pool area as well. Breakfast was not of similar quality though. Also, the hotel coffee was undrinkable

The absolute top thing about this hotel is the beachfront location (deluxe room felt like we're almost on the sea) and the actual area that is taken care off and kept clean exceptionally.

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

Luckily, the staff was very friendly and helpful (family-run) and they moved us to another room, overlooking the pool. It was much better - modern beds and no noise at all

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

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

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

I can see people unhappy to pay extra for the air conditioning however, this seems to be the case in all hotels in Malia that are budget-friendly

Breakfast has limited choice however, it is fresh and you can always find something

Food was good, pools are nice and localization is quite good - not far away from the city center

We spent 5 nights here and didn't want to leave! The staff are so lovely and accommodating. The drinks and food are always available and are lovely. The cleaners always do an amazing job and are super friendly

The hotel itself is beautiful, pools are well maintained and there are plenty of sunbeds. Cannot fault this place it's been perfect. The beach is just down the road and so is the Malia strip if that's your scene

Excellent place to spend with family. There are some snacks and a lot of drinks on the bar. Every Monday the are organizing Greece life music. There is a nice Potamos beach, but need to drive about 5 min or walk 20 min

The rooms and the hotel territory were very clean, swimming pools two for adults and one for babies. Big swimming pools have deep from 1 to 3. There are very beautiful trees and flowers on territory

The rooms are large, cleaned every day and towels are changed. The location is ideal (close to the sandy beach), you can't hear loud music from the center

Aris and his staff cater for all your needs. Yiannis manos elani manuela little manos Lindsay and Julie are constantly making our holiday experience better. Pool areas are spotless with very comfy sunbeds

This hotel has fabulous views of the mountains on one side. There are two swimming pools with plenty of sunbeds. Each bed has a thick mattress so they are very comfortable

He let us stay in our room on our last day, even though the hotel had officially closed for the season. It was an 8hr wait from check out to our transfer to the airport

We were even invited to the staff Halloween party (we were the only guests left on this night). This hotel was extremely clean. The kitchen was open and we saw it constantly being cleaned between each meal being prepared

Every morning George or Eleni knew what drinks we liked with our breakfast and after a day or two, our drinks were prepared for us without us asking. Yannis, the manager, was always friendly and helpful

Lovely little apartment with everything you need. Very clean and cleaners came every other day. Receptionist very helpful with taxis and what shops to use. Pools were cold but that’s expected, area was clean

The hotel is very nice and recommendable, not too big and a well-kept complex. The service is great, Maria Brazil and her colleagues are very friendly. A few minutes walk to the beach and the pool is fantastic too

They are friendly, attentive, and always have an open ear. We particularly want to mention Maria from the reception. She welcomed us warmly, is professional, and a wonderful person

We can only recommend this hotel to singles, couples, and others who want to travel away from package tourism. Thank you very much and see you next time

Thanks for everything! Especially for your kindness, dear Maria from the reception, Maria Brazil and all the other support from the crew. We hope to be able to come back soon!

There are no regular restaurants around the hotel that can meet the quality of food presented here! The employees are all so friendly and kind, giving you the best service and completing the whole holiday experience at the Kalypso hotel!!! We will return here again and can recommend it without any doubts…

The Kalypso in Malia - Crete is a little gem. The hotel is quietly located and the city center (party mile) can be reached in just a 15-minute walk

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

For added convenience, you can rent vehicles (cars, ATVs, scooters, etc. ) right next to George’s Supermarket. The hotel also has its own parking area near the beach exit

Our room, located at the back of the hotel facing the swimming pool, was well-equipped and comfortable

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 cleaning staff did a fantastic job, changing towels every 2 days and bed sheets every 3 days. We didn’t experience any of the issues other reviews mentioned – no cockroaches, no bugs, nothing

It had a balcony, a separate toilet and shower (with the sink outside), a free-to-use fridge, satellite TV, and a safe. Cleanliness really stood out – both in the room and throughout the hotel

The outdoor area with the pool is very nice. Good location and you can quickly walk to the beach and the party street. Rooms are OK but cleanliness could be a bit better

Very warm welcome to the Cretan style! Well soundproofed room Housekeeping done every day Nice swimming pool Bar available Close to the sea Pleasant setting We had a great time at the Stella Maria

Friendly and nice place close to the beach, shops, restaurants, doctor, pharmacy. The accomodation has a pool, balcony and nice owner who helps you everything you need

This a good little hotel, not a tourist factory with thousands people. The team and management are very nice and provide good service. Swimming pool is very pleasant without any chemical products but very clean

I stayed 15 days in this hotel and I greatly appreciated the welcome, the smiles. The swimming pool is very pleasant, close to everything, I highly recommend it, far from hotels where there are 1500 people

Sun beds around the pool are various, you have some with Umbrella, other without if you want sun, some have mattress, other just to stay after swimming. There is a correct AC and WIFI

We had a marvelous terrace with sunbeds, table and chairs. The bathroom was clean and everything worked properly

The establishment is well located, very welcoming, the room clean and functional. I recommend this establishment

I have been many time to this lovely family owned small hotel It’s such a lovely place to stay with lovely grounds , beautiful pool , the food is beautiful all home cooked Greek dishes? 5 mins from the beach , very clean rooms , Always have to book early & very popular

Fantastic place. 150 m (2 min) to the sandy beach without stones with convenient entry into the sea. The apartment is clean, safe, modern, fully equipped. Totally renovated. Greek flavor in everything.

Beach just 5min walk, sunbeds rent by restaurant between the all inclusive hotels or just a empty beach on the right. Check in was confusingly bad, didnt feel welcome at all and had no info about anything (e

Also, about the room, I booked a very nice studio front of the gardens of lemons. It was very comfort, cute and very clean. The pool was perfect and clean. Also, the Staff was very friendly and helpful from the first min

I had a really nice time here, rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom was really modern. I had a view over the pool and the nice blue sea. The people that worked there are really nice and helpful

I haven't stayed in a hotel but I've spent two very nice days on the beach. Sunbeds are for very reasonable price (normal 6€ per set, more comfy one 10€ per set)

This self catering hotel suited us perfectly as it had a great pool which was not busy and it was only a few steps down onto the sandy beach

The hotel delivered what made us choose it: location right in front of the beach, pool, nearby a broad offer of restaurants and other commodities. We were also positively impress by the service minded personnel

We visited for the day to use the sun loungers on the beach. Sun loungers were €12 for two plus parasol. Great quality loungers and luxurious thick and comfy mattresses. Quiet side of Malia beach and great spot

Didn’t stay at the apartments but used the cafe/bar and beach beds daily. Super comfy beds and great food with friendly staff. Thank you for the raki with honey which was delicious

The hotel itself was clean and inviting, with a great atmosphere throughout. Rooms were spotless and cleaned every day, with fresh towels provided – including ones for the sunbeds, which was a bonus

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

Most guests were families with young children and couples. Rooms were clean, however wifi had poor signal (better by the pool), and we often saw ants if the patio/balcony door was left open

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

She had great rapport with other guests as well. On our last day we were able to store our luggage post checkout and use the pool

We stayed at Socrates Hotel as a group of 14 lads and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place

The terrace with the pool and bar has amazing views of the ocean and mountains, the food’s great, heaps good, just stay here

FABULOUS family run boutique hotel right on the beach, 10min walk to the center of Malia

We had an amazing suite with sea view and whirlpool on our private terrace, coffee machine & fridge, modern & stylish design, very comfy beds & pillows (which is rare!) and blackout curtains

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

Very quiet eventhough located a 5 minute walk from the party hotspot in malia. Very well maintained hotel, nice gardem and enough sunbeds arpund the pool

Gorgeous property right in the beach with a nice pool and bar, rooms are spacious with great balconies. Highly recommend!

Had a nice 3 day stay at Icandy Sol. Owner is very friendly and helpful. My room was good value for money, and had everything I needed. The pool area, although small, is nice if you want to relax and cool down a bit

About 20 steps from the hotel you’re on the main road with all the restaurants and bars and supermarkets. It’s about 10 minutes walk to the beach. I would 100% recommend this hotel. See you soon in May can’t wait

My room was always nice and clean and the location is ideal as it is right next to all the shops, pubs and restaurants with only a 10 minute walk to the beach. I will definitely be back again!

Supermarket is around the corner and the beach is very easy to reach with a little walk. The rooms are very nice and very clean! And there is a good breakfast with a nice variation

A good hotel with very good hosts! Close to the old village of Malia and also close to the sea!!! Clean place and very friendly service! Definitely worth its price and value!!

The fence provides privacy from people walking on the street. It is a small walk (1km) to the beach, but its close to the old town if you want a more authentic greek dinner

The hotel has many swimming pools, especially for adults, but it also has 3 swimming pools for children

Beautiful hotel, staff were friendly and professional. Food was great, location nice and quiet, easily accessible. We hired a car but not essential. Rooms were clean. Overall wonderful stay!!

The rooms are clean and we had everything we need, except on some days, the coffee cream and tea wasn't restocked. The beach is lovely, the sea is crystal clear and there are not too many rocks in the water

We are holidaying in this glorious part of Crete in this glorious hotel. The location right on the beach is superb. Staff are so helpful and genuinely friendly. Lunch at pool bars very good too

Great Place, excellent rooms, quite a good service and tasty food! The approach of the hotel to the menu is unusual as if you have all inclusive, you still have to pay for the beverages and getting a glass of water or a coffee is quite expensive, so we had to have parties separately in our rooms… however the location is great and my family enjoyed swimming in the sea 🌊 and Greece 🇬🇷 is proudly Orthodox...

We went to Alexander Beach spa at Stalis with my girlfriend and we had a Cretan massage with an express hydration for the face . Padelis and Alba were amazing very professional and friendly.Thank you aegeo spas

Great location for family with two young adult boys. On the beach, but also a short walk to the Malia nightlife. Beach, pools, and amenities were very good

Rooms are very clean, personel are nice and food is so tasty. It is not big hotel so everything like restaurant, pools and beach is near (max. I really enjoyed my time there but there is one thing that I didn't like

Very decent hotel; some rooms/apartments are better than others. Our hotel room (main building) was a bit small/dated. Nothing like the pictures :) Also bathroom was old. Safe for valuables costs EUR 4 per day

that’s really beyond what you would expect from a place like this! Especially since it’s ALL inclusive. apparently that doesn’t apply to the safe. Would have loved to see a coffee maker in the room

Pools were really nice; plenty of space, also the beach side is perfect. Very close, plenty of beds, bar right next to the beach - perfect

In my opinion entertainment team should speak, explain rules and make announcements also in english so everybody can understand. FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SPEAK GERMAN IT IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!

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

not a hotel as 4 star would suggest. 4 folk living in such a small room is horrendous. cleaning good reception good pools good

plus when I said give me all inclusive as compensation you lost the plot we don't drink alcohol. 1 beer and 1 wine 3 local spirits that would have been shocking at 480 euro. all I wanted was post mix coca cola

could not understand at half board why I was ushered away from the bar too buy real bottles of cola at 2 euro you only wanted to sell post mix rubbish. dont let yourselves down doing that it's tacky

negative the positives I pointed out deflected the 1 member of staff that harassed us. plus covid could of shut you down. i was being helpful telling you. you went on that you never had a complaint

i don't want to criticise too much but I hope they read this and take on board there are much better around them and next time in malia stalls area we will be booking a proper 4 star Hotel
