Le Palme ★★★

📍 Mattheou Zachariadi 77, Malia

"I am a big believer in you get what you pay for. If I could give stars for staff then Angela who runs the bar/cafe would get five 🌟 she is such a credit to the place and a lovely lady. She was so friendly and easy to talk to and her dinks/food was spot on! The bar area was exceptional clean also. Maria was also nice and helpful. The apartment we had was very spacious and adequately clean, ground floor so spacious terrace too. The bathroom was a big let down and needs a thorough make over as does the kitchenette area! With a little love and tlc these apartments could be so much better. The pool area was ok although the pools were very cold. The location is superb. Just to the right of the the apartments is the Street Bar and I would highly recommend this place. The food everywhere was delicious. If it’s beauty and luxury you want then please avoid booking but if you can close your eyes to a few things and want somewhere cheap to stay then this is the place. All in all we had a good weeks holiday and will definitely return to Malia (but will choose a different hotel/apartment to stay in.). We could list things that need immediate improvement but are not going to, like I said it was a cheap break, and you get what you pay for!"

The Noverian Scenic Crete 5 Star Hilltop Villa Resort & Spa Hotels in Hersonissos

The Noverian Scenic Crete 5 Star Hilltop Villa Resort & Spa

"Location and villa with own pool on the surface looked amazing when we arrived. The service that followed can only be compared to fawlty towers. The place is chronically understaffed ( although they seem capable of putting on massive functions at the weekends; hotel guests come a poor second) Housekeeping in terms of cleaning is almost non existent which means no clean towels or toilet paper supplied unless you beg reception. Staff are rude the manager is the worst of all thinking that the lack of standards are a joke, which is infuriating and where the rest of the staff take their lead. Staff shouted at guests and lied on numerous occasions. The spa was shut for the entirety of our two week stay, so having paid for that facility and under the guise of a 5 star hotel I feel totally ripped off! It's basically self catering where you have to buy your own cleaning products if you want any hygiene standards."

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only) Hotels in Hersonissos

Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa (Adults Only)

"So the hotel was very good, the only problem was the reservation, I booked with trip with private jacuzzi, and when I arrived at the hotel there was no reservation with jacuzzi but only a basic room. I saw the reservation at the hotel so the error came from trip. They only reimbursed me 293 euros while the rooms without jacuzzi were at least 500 euros less.. Really disappointed, I don't think I'll book again on trip. But the hotel was great!!"

"Hello, I can highly recommend this place; it is absolutely top-notch, 10/10. My wife and I stayed here and couldn't find a single flaw. The service is absolute perfection and the food is excellent. There is a slightly smaller selection, but that isn't a bad thing at all—you will still leave breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a completely full stomach. We had an all-inclusive package and booked the hotel directly. Our airport transfers were arranged for both our arrival and departure. When we wanted to take a trip to Heraklion, they called a taxi for us. They have their own app where you can find all the information about the hotel and book things like massages, dinners, yoga, etc. They also communicated with us promptly via WhatsApp. A truly great place for a week-long vacation."

Amazones Village Suites Hotels in Hersonissos

Amazones Village Suites

"sadly this is no way a 4 star hotel, id say just it would be just making a 3 and thats only because the staff were lovely. We booked two weeks here at the beginning of september and stayed in the junior suite with partial sea view i think it was called that .If your not very fit or mobile you may struggle with how steep set this hotel is with steep paths and many stairs to rooms,not a problem for us but more elderly people will struggle.while there we noticed people dragging their cases along the long road to the hotel,we think thats because the road was narrow and no where for coaches to turn around ,so they dropped people off at the end of the road and had to make their own way to hotel on foot,my advice hire a car from airport or get a taxi,at least youre guaranteed being dropped off at hotel front door. When we went to get keys to our room the manager sent a young lad up to make sure our room had been cleaned, he came back saying it had been, shouldnt he already know its been cleaned ready for next guests? The room itself was quite large but really really dated. Our room had a cooker hob top,kettle ,microwave,fridge and a toaster.The bathroom was in a bit of a state needing a good clean and a bit of a fix up.There was some shower product residue on the shower/bath wall,the toilet seat was broken but we managed to get them to fix it,but no doubt it will break again because the seat doesnt fit the toilet bowl properly and slipped when sat on.The shower itself was a bit of a pain because the shower head was on the side wall above the bath not the front or the back of the bath ,so if you wasnt standing directly in front of the water stream the water hit the long shower curtain and drenched the floor,making it dangerously slippy when stepping out of the bath.i had to use the hotel hand towels a a bath mat to stand on. While there we only had out bedding changed once in the whole 2 weeks we stayed.They may have swept and mopped the rooms but thats debatable because my feet were constantly black when walking barefoot in the room..One day i ended up with a small sliver of glass in my foot while in the the bedroom..that though may have come from falling off the broom if they swept,who knows..The pool itself is nice and deep but again not very safe..one set of steps to enter the pool which were very slippy and had no hand rail to hold onto while entering the pool,saw a couple of older ladies struggle and slip trying to get in,it really needs a hand rail ,it could also do with pool ladders at the deeper end of the pool.The decking around the pool was terrible..nails and screws sticking up ,loose boards and splintered wood.I always wore water shoes around the pool because of this.The food was ok,breakfast was hit and miss depending on what was put out. One sunday they did a bbq at 24 euros per person..that was nice .If you like your drinks stick to wine and beers because the cocktails were poor, all syrups no alcohol.I can highly reccomend eating out in"

Heronissos Hotel Hotels in Hersonissos

Heronissos Hotel

"I spent a week at this hotel. Let's start with the positives: the hotel buffet has a wide selection, and the food is good but not exceptional, which is perfectly in line with the price. The pools are beautiful and have plenty of lounge chairs. The open bar has friendly and very fast bartenders. The hotel's location is also very convenient, close to nightlife. The negatives, however, are: the hotel has several facilities; the main one is beautiful and renovated, while the others are a little less impressive (some more so than others). I noticed a balcony in the less impressive facility overlooking the main pool that has a very dark damp stain and is constantly dripping. This balcony overlooks an outside sidewalk, which is extremely dangerous for passersby. Furthermore, in another facility, the one across the street from the main pool (the one where I stayed), I noticed cracks in the balcony above mine. These facilities definitely need to be renovated (and in the case of the damp stain, quickly to prevent pieces of the balcony from falling on passersby's heads). Also the rooms of the main building are better than the others (some are still good rooms, others are not) because they are premium rooms or something similiar."

Semiramis Village Hotels in Hersonissos

Semiramis Village

"The hotel is ok but it is not 4 star I would say it possible 3 star it might have been 4 star when opened but definitely not now food is good always something to eat. If staying there have strong legs as it's up hill everywhere and the lift goes up one floor in lobby, rooms can be up to four levels higher anyone with problems with stairs not advised to go, the village is in the middle between Hersonissos and stalis 30 to 40 minutes walk either way . The hotel is all inclusive but they have a lot to learn about all inclusive it's not done well small plastic cups for drinks and slow service so expect to queue for drinks, beer wine and spirits are local and poor quality. The staff are nice very friendly and helpfull. One other thing there not enough sunbeds for the amount people there and if you want one get up very early to put towels on beds. Overall it's an ok hotel I had a pleasant stay i didn't stay in the hotel evening's as there is nothing to do most people played cards and no entertainment except for one night a week they had a dance group on but was poor show I left after 5 minutes."

"If you're looking for the ultimate hotel for an unforgettable party vacation, this is the perfect place! The hotel is absolutely amazing, with stylish and comfortable rooms, two beautiful swimming pools, and outstanding food that exceeds every expectation. The brunch is delicious, offering a wide variety of fresh and high-quality dishes. The pool bar serves some of the best cocktails I've ever had, and the DJ creates an incredible atmosphere every day with great music, positive vibes, and endless fun. If you love parties and vibrant holidays, this is definitely the place to be! The staff deserve special praise. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive. This hotel perfectly combines luxury, relaxation, and unforgettable entertainment. I highly recommend it and can't wait to come back!"

"We arrived at Stella Palace after having to stay in Crete for two weeks. The place is charming and perfectly located—right next to the beach and promenade. It’s clean and well-maintained, the room is spacious and includes a balcony and a kitchenette. And of course, Stella herself was wonderful and became a friend. She gave us great tips for trips in the area and was happy to accommodate any request. Simply an amazing and enjoyable place that offers excellent value for money."

Pollis Hotel Hotels in Hersonissos

Pollis Hotel

"Stayed one week, beginning of May 2024 . Pros : - hotel is new,, cosy and clean ; has three separate buildings plus another one under construction ; we stayed in main building ( with the reception ). - staff was very attentive, kind and nice - a big thanks to all of them ! - breakfast and dinner were ok : tasty food and decent variety of menus - open buffet _ ventilation in bathroom - very fast and effective - beds and mattresses very comfortable - there was a small outdoor relaxing area with a pool and sunbeds Cons : - location is not along the beach , but close to cliff promenade , tavernas and shops - room furniture is new , but very minimalist - not enough shelves to put your belongings - no cosmetic amenities in the bathroom ( which you shoud expect in a 4 stars hotel ) - no towel ports in the bathroom , to let the wet towels dry properly . Even you let the towels outside on the balcony over night , they could not dry due to air humidity and temperature - for unknown reasons , they did not offer classic toilet paper. Instead , there was only a dispenser for paper napkins , to be used both for face and as toilet paper ! - the most annoying drawback was the bad lighting in the bathroom . You barely could see clearly your face in the mirror when shaving or putting makeup , respectively I tried to be as objective as I could in this review , but I shall not make any special recommendation . It is everybody's choice to select this hotel or not ."

"Great location but that is about all. Our room was like a prison cell, shower area was disgusting! And you would be very lucky if you had a hot shower in the morning also you could only use shower as hand held as no bracket! Stayed 11 days and only had 2 hot showers in all that time! Did complain but was told that because it was cloudy the day before the water tanks hadn't warmed the water HUH!! What an excuse. No wifi unless you sit by the pool Go cheap you certainly get what you pay for"

Creta Verano Hotel ★★★
"Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The hotel only met the absolute minimum standards, and I certainly wouldn’t choose to stay here again. The biggest issue was the manager, who was extremely disrespectful during every interaction we had. On our first arrival, while discussing our room allocation, we were shockingly referred to as “stupid UK people.” This was completely unacceptable, unprofessional, and made us feel unwelcome from the start. The only positive aspect of our stay was the cleaning staff. They were polite, friendly, and did a good job keeping the rooms clean, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the beds were also very uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, between the rude management, uncomfortable beds, and poor customer service, this was a bad experience. The hardworking cleaning staff deserve credit, but they couldn’t make up for the way we were treated by management."

"We stayed at the hotel for seven nights on an all-inclusive package, and from the moment we arrived until the day we left, we had an absolutely wonderful experience. One of the things we loved most was the choice of five different restaurants. Booking through the app was quick and effortless. The food was absolutely delicious, and every evening felt like dining in a high-end restaurant. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and friendly. We especially appreciated being greeted with warm smiles wherever we went. I celebrated my birthday during our stay, and the staff went above and beyond to make my birthday dinner truly magical. They also surprised us with a birthday cake and a bottle of champagne delivered to our room, which was a lovely and thoughtful gesture. On several occasions, we also found pleasant surprises waiting for us in our room, such as wine or a fresh fruit platter. We would especially like to thank the wonderful lady working at the cocktail bar. She made the most amazing cocktails, and her friendly service made every visit a pleasure. The hotel was completely renovated in 2024, and it is now modern, stylish, and beautifully designed. We especially loved the furniture and overall atmosphere. A special thank you also goes to the housekeeping team for keeping our room spotless every single day. This is truly one of the best five-star hotels we have ever stayed at. We sincerely hope to return one day."

Sarpidon Apartments ★★★
"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 priceless. You could have paid 10 times the cost and still not received the attention and friendliness that I feel I had received here . Apologies to Dora who had to chase me down the street because I forgot to pay for my last snack - 100 m sprint better than an Olympic event. So sorry Dora 🙏. Won’t happen again 🫣. Situated right in the centre of Old Malia, close to a very convenient travel route that can take you from one end of the island to the other, with buses coming every 20 minutes. Take a walk out of the west exit of hotel and you find yourself in a delightful and quaint Old Village of Malia , rich in historic buildings, some converted into stunning restaurants and picture postcard beautiful streets. Sarpido also offers delicious meals and drinks reasonably priced and plenty on offer . The beach is in walking distance about 400 m or so but the beach on Malia is squeezed with so many sunbeds you’re near on top of each other - preferred the lovely cove at Hersonnisos 24 or around the pool the days I wasn’t off exploring. Sarpidon is ideally situated, surrounded by a stunning backdrop of mountains yet has everything you need for a memorable, relaxing holiday . Highly recommend. Keep Euros and change . Much preferred than card ."

Stella Blue Seaside Resort ★★★★
"Me and my partner booked a swim up for 1 week and we loved the hotel. The hotel is probably one of the most aesthetically pleasing establishments that we have stayed. We went for a swim up room and was not disappointed. The room was a perfect size for a couple with coffee, tea facilities and a mini bar that is replenished daily for this room type. The rooms and hotel in general is spotless and I would like to shoutout Monica from housekeeping, she couldn’t do enough for us! Our only slight issue was the food / drink. The breakfast and lunch time options are great, I love the 3 options at lunch of the two ale cartes or Buffet, we particularly loved the pool ble bar. Dinner however was focused heavily on sea food, of which me and my Partner do not eat. We spoke to other non sea food eaters who also said they struggled. The biggest issue for me though was the lack of accessibility to drinking water. One bottle was placed in the mini fridge everyday, however, the only way to get water all inclusive through the day was to ask for cups of water at the bar. Bottled water is not included, there is also no existing hydration stations / fountains throughout the hotel as far as I’m aware. The water provided at the bar was often served in plastic cups that looked like they had hardly been cleaned, often with black dirt swimming in them. I don’t think I got served a clean cup of water once. I had heard that you could go to reception and request bottles of water but when I did, I was told to use room service, so pay €8 to get a bottle of water? The local alcohol brands are also overpowering and quite poor."
