📍 Pirgou Street, Malia

"Room with Jacuzzi not to be missed, modern and refined decoration, spacious room. Terrace with Jacuzzi and sea view (attention building under construction to take into account even if it does not obstruct the view). Impeccable cleanliness, very friendly common place, always free deckchairs. Small restaurant with low prices and open all day. All this not far from the hustle and bustle of Malia.

Le Palme
8.6 (215 reviews)

Le Palme ★★★

📍 Mattheou Zachariadi 77, Malia

"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
8.1 (14 reviews)

Creta Verano Hotel ★★★

📍 El. Venizelou 183, Str, Malia

"The hotel is a very nice place to stay if you are looking for a quiet place to sleep and relax, nice staff, clean rooms and good food. The staff were very polite and if you are respectful, you will earn respect. The hotel is close to the strip in a quiet area but is quite far from the beach. For its category, it is an excellent hotel."

"When i arrived to the hotel, i was not treated well and she spoke to me horribly the staff was awful and rude and the rooms was a mess, this hotel needs to be investigated as there was bodily fluids left in the room on the pillow, do not go here it is awful"

Stelios Gardens
8.4 (70 reviews)

Stelios Gardens ★★

📍 Armirolakou, Malia

"We arrived at 23.15hrs and received a warm welcome from Yannis and Nikki the owners. Very family orientated business with Stelios, their son helping out in the bar and restaurant. Nikki should be an interior designer .. the bar, restaurant and surroundings are tastefully decorated with a beach theme. Breakfast was buffet style and there was ample choice. Dined a couple of times too and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend it. 3 minute walk from the beach."

Spotlessly clean, pool side food spot on. Will defo try and make time for a second visit."

"We stayed at the hotel for 7 days. The room was clean and the hotel had been renovated. Breakfast was the same every morning, but it offered a variety of options. Dinner was served at a hotel 200m away. We didn't enjoy the dinner due to the uniform taste of the dishes. While the food was filling, it wasn't exceptional. The pool was all right, but unfortunately, there was no poolside bar. Air conditioning was available for an additional 8 euros per day, and the towels were changed every 3 days, while the sheets were not changed throughout our 7-day stay. One inconvenience was that if you returned after 23:00, the staff would speak in hushed tones at the reception and all the lights would be turned off, which seemed a bit overdramatic. However, the staff was really friendly and accommodating. Despite these minor inconveniences, we are definitely considering coming back again!"

"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 a smile 😃 highly recommend."

Despina Aparthotel by Philoxenia Hotel & Spa Hotels in Malia

Despina Aparthotel by Philoxenia Hotel & Spa

"This is the WORST hotel i have ever been to in my life. There was ants all over the floor in my room as well as the ceiling leaking causing puddles. It also labels the spa as included with the hotel but you have to pay €10 for an hour, which this was falsely advertised to us. The quality of the food was horrendous and was untouched by majority of the people. If you are thinking of staying at this hotel DO NOT DO IT!"

Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort Hotels in Malia

Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort

"I had the great fortune to stay here for a week with my friend, who had been here 4 times prior to this . It was so beautifully laid out along the beach it had 3 pools ? Several restaurants, a spa and a gym . We were upgraded to a junior suite with such a beautiful view of the beach . The room was lovely , very spacious and very clean . The staff were all so lovely .And nothing was top much trouble. A special shout out to Socrates the barman in the pool bar , he was hilarious and great fun . The food was amazing in the Asian fusion restaurant and Maria was lovely . She remembered my friend from her previous stays and greeted her warmly. They even had a Cat Cafe where the guests could feed the local cats , which really meant a lot to me as I love cats. Everything was perfect. The only small downside was the channels on the TV..they were all in German The majority of people that stay there are German, they were all very quiet and pleasant, but it would have been nice to have a couple of English channels for when we got back to our room in the evening."

"The two-day stay was way too expensive for the hotel, knowing that there are people staying there for half the price—though for a week. However, it is a nice, large hotel where the low-rise design adds value."

Malia Mare Hotel

"Overall the hotel is lovely and clean, and the majority of the staff are lovely. It was just a shame that the woman who I believe may be a part owner was incredibly rude. She was always very blunt and dismissive, and never smiles. On our last day, when our taxi arrived she entered our room and got really angry at us, ordering us out, telling me “give me the key, give me that bath mat, give me that towel” and being very rude and hostile saying we had to get out now. We also had a poor experience with the cleaner, who came in our room when we were all fast asleep and continued to clean around us, very loudly and opening the curtains, we also found her to he very rude. It is a shame they were so hostile, because other than that all the facilities were amazing, food and drinks at the bar were great. Mike the security guard was absolutely amazing, so friendly and he really did his job to a T, cannot thank him enough for everything he did. I would recommend staying here, i would just be cautious of treading on their toes!! The aircon is also not great, in 3 different rooms it was leaking and barely even noticeably on so that was also a down side. €9 a day to waft hot air around the room😔"

"Very solid all round hotel, The fella at the bar called Kostas was a right gent and made our stay superb. The food was class and the surrounding area was very nice apart from walking up the hill on the way back. Thank you also to the chef who taught us a lot about Greek culture."

"After reading other reviews I wasn’t sure on what to expect when I arrived but I wasn’t presently surprised, the hotel was very clean, on our arrival we turned up late after the bar stopped serving food, but the bar staff were very friendly and ordered us a pizza from town which was great, thank you. The rooms are very basic but clean, this what we had payed for.Our room was very hot first night but there was a extra charge for AC but it was reasonable and manage to get a good night sleep. The pool area was good plenty of loungers, With some younger groups of people but no problem, and mixture of families and couples, The bar food was amazing and ate here a couple of times, Staff were always friendly and happy to help.The hotel was safe to walk around walk ..no hassle what time of night or day. Definitely would return."

Koni Village Hotel Hotels in Malia

Koni Village Hotel

"Just wanted to say that we had a great stay. It was 3* and it did exactly what it was supposed to. Rooms basic but cleaned daily, food had a good range of choices, probably missing something for younger ones with plain tastes like nuggets or pizza but overall very tasty! Nice pool, no fights for sunbeds, staff very friendly and helpful. It is up a hill and we were right at the top but that is made clear when you boom it. Great location, right on the bus route and a ten minute walk to Stalis"

Philoxenia Hotel & Spa Hotels in Malia

Philoxenia Hotel & Spa

"We have recently returned from a ten day family holiday and unfortunately, hotel wise, it was a slightly disappointing experience. The lady receptionist doing the day shift was extremely polite, friendly and helpful. The barman was also nice and friendly. The three male members of staff we encountered behind the desk during the evenings were rude and challenging at times. It lacked the personal touch that most Greek places have and the room was quite dated and in need of a revamp. For the money we paid, I was expecting a lot more and the photos made it look more glamorous than it was in reality. The shower was continually going from hot to cold and this was quite frustrating. Lots of noise in the early hours from people returning from their nights out with lots of shouting, singing, screaming and banging on doors. It was clean however and the room was cleaned everyday plus fresh towels/bedding every other day which was a huge plus."

"Didi, the Lady from the Spa is the friendliest we've ever met. We have a lot of expierence in having massages and here it was extraordinary !! Didi and the team are very professionell and very friendly. We are looking forward to come again to meet her and to have a treatment with Pablo and Maria, who made a excellent Job doing the Massage. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5 Star rating is not enough 👍"

"Service was great, cleanliness was upkept. However, access to AC is a whopping 10 euros. Further, the location towards the small Sarpidon apartment is slightly far from heraklion and does go through narrow and small roads"

"Absolutely perfect stay, family hotel (small structure) on the beach located 10 minutes from the lively center of Malia, quiet, relaxing location with superb views. Very comfortable and very well equipped rooms. Very good quality all-day snack. Thanks to Héléna, Manos and their team for their friendly welcome. Very good little Cretan restaurants with superb terraces in old 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!"

"Had a wonderful week at the Golden Bay hotel. Would recommend if you want a quiet week chilling. Lovely rooms most with pool view. Excellent staff that look after you well. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Lovely pool (new sunbeds where delivered on our first day). Hotel is on the seafront with great views of the bay. We went Half board. Breakfast was really nice. Lots of choice. The evening meal was waiter service and was freshly prepared and you had a good choice. Overall thoroughly good stay and would go back."

Villa Mare Monte ApartHotel ★★★★
"Of the three hotels I stayed in during my week in Crete, this one was the quietest, perhaps because it's not near the center and there aren't many young people. The room was nice, but I was unlucky with the location. My balcony was right above the stairs. I couldn't eat in peace because people were constantly coming and going from their rooms. It felt like I was living in an outdoor café. Overall, I felt like I lacked privacy, and because of the room's location, I could hear everyone using the stairs. I think the rooms facing the other side are quieter. The hotel grounds are beautiful! Surrounded by mountains where ibexes stroll peacefully. Internet and air conditioning are completely free, unlike other hotels in Crete. Incidentally, many hotel owners in Crete don't list paid air conditioning, safes, and internet on hotel booking websites. Here, all these services are free. The bed and pillows are simply superb, for which a special thanks to the hotel management. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking! There's even a sponge, dish soap, and a tea towel, which is rare not only in Crete but also in other parts of Greece. Thank you very much for that! Overall, it's a great hotel! I recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet, solitude, and a sense of nature!"

"Firstly the location is perfect, very close to the beach and shops and restaurants. Photos of the pool area online are a bit deceiving. Sun lounger were bit grubby and were left out in the rain, parasols were broken and lots of ants around pool area. Room was lovely apart from the cold shower, had to complain every other day. Staff were not very helpful at all"

"Aristea and pavlos made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in until departing. The hotel was good , some of the staff were great and it has a lot of amenities. Pool is a good size, a bar and Stalis beach is moments away . If we come back to this part of the island again we would stay again."
