Hotels on first line in Malia

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...

So many facilities and everything is absolutely spotless. The staff are wonderful and so friendly. The breakfast is probably the best I’ve ever had in a hotel

• The pool chair system was inconvenient, and you had to act quickly to get one. • The Wednesday Greek Grill show cost nearly €30 per person, even though the stay was already expensive

Location is brilliant too and loads of restaurants nearby that serve great food

Unfortunately, this hotel didn’t quite live up to expectations

Housekeeping was hit-or-miss (our bin full of baby diapers wasn’t emptied even after asking at reception), the “double bed” was just two singles drifting apart, and the baby cot came with a folded adult sheet that turned into a nightly wrestling match

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

We spend a week there in early August. One of the best stays we ever had. We had to change rooms and they were really nice and professional about it. The staff is very good, the atmosphere amazing

It's a great place if you want to relax. Nothing to see around it but we just stayed at the beach or the pools, the hotel is interesting enough :)

Loved my treatments at this spa. Ioanna was fabulous in every way possible - i felt very comfortable throughout my whole experience. Would highly recommend to anyone!😊

We were on vacation as a group – the resort is beautiful and the location is perfect. The pools and the beach are just perfect

Amazing resort, everything you need to relax and unwind, including a fantastic spa, all the staff are wonderful and friendly, I had 2 massages during my stay, both fantastic but a big thank you to Kostas, the best massage I’ve had, will definitely be back

We had a cooking class at Mouries and it was truly a core memory. They made us feel like their family and the food was so authentic we ended up eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there almost every day

The staff is super friendly and helpful and the architecture and interior in general is beyond beautiful. Although there were lots of smaller children we never had the feeling that it's too loud or overcrowded

It's close to downtown Malia which is known for its partying scene as well if you are a group of younger people looking for the perfect place to spend your holiday. Can't wait to visit in again!

Also the fact that there are several restaurants to choose from (loved the Italian Restaurant and also the Cretan Breakfast at Mouries is highly recommended) gives you lots of culinary variety

We stayed in a balcony room overlooking the ocean and the waves crashing onto the shore were a sound I crave daily. Waking up and having coffee out there was the best way to start the day

This is the first Hotel we honestly consider coming back to next year! We travelled with our 4 year old daughter and the short trip from the airport to the hotel is a big plus

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

One particular incident really stood out: I accidentally knocked over a glass by the pool—an honest mistake—and was immediately charged for it without so much as a conversation or warning. No understanding, just a bill

To top it off, guests aren’t allowed to bring their own water or snacks to the pool area, which felt more like a money-making scheme than a rule for anyone’s safety or comfort

The hotel itself was lovely and the pool area was the best! All in all, the hotel prioritises profit over guest experience. We will we read reviews before booking

My very special thanks go to Mum and Daughter who showered my friends and I with such wholesome compliments. We felt like fashion models as we walked downstairs each evening to head out to be complimented

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

The rooms are clean, the pool and bar is nice, the lounge bar is nice and can sit outside and watch the world go by

The hotel is in the perfect location - right on top of the strip and under the old town so, everything is in walking distance. It is less than 10min walk to the nearest beach and there is a big supermarket right in front

The rooms facing the street are not great. The beds are very old and small, and you can hear the noise from the street

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

We really enjoyed our stay at the Malia Holidays Hotel, the staff were all amazing eager to help, very friendly and polite! From the beautiful gardens, very clean swimming pool and bar to the quality of food, drinks and services all top tier! Really enjoyed our breakfast every morning with plenty of food to choose from

Beautiful clubs, fantastic restaurants, and the sea is also just a short walk away. It was truly one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Thank you so much for everything, and we’ll definitely see you again next year!

We were very satisfied with our stay. It was amazing for 4*, rooms were nice and cleaned every day, drinks strong and food delicious, we could not decide what to try out first. We had at least some seafood for every meal

Initially, there was an issue with getting into our room - due to oversights with flight times. After that initial upset, our time at Malia Bay Beach Hotel was lovely

Appaled with how clean the bedsheets were. The matress was so comfortable. We booked one of the rooms with pool access and enjoyed all day in the pool. Despite the crowded season we still relaxed and even met new friends

Enjoyed our morning coffee or afternoon cocktail by the beach or pool. The sand is great and thin without rocks and realtively calm location. We were able to rest and have a good time

Staff at pool snack bar were very friendly and the food both breakfast ,snacks and dinner were beyond our expectations

The sea next to the hotel is lovely- but very rocky. The soft drinks at the hotel are not great but there is a shop directly opposite the hotel for a proper, branded soft drink. Overall, we enjoyed our stay

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

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

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!

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

Hotel is right on the sandy beach, yet also in city of Malia. The beach itself is nice and clean, and there is very nice swim out to a small beautiful islet. Sun ubrellas are pre-booked for certain rooms types

During my stay at High Beach, I was truly impressed by Lia Captain! She welcomes everyone with a warm smile and treats all guests with kindness and respect

Very Nice Experience in High Beach Resort ... Always on Top. Very Friendly hospitality respectfully staff and managers. Thanks for all !!!

Every meal was a real pleasure, starting with generous breakfasts that featured local specialties and moving on to satisfying dinners where both local and international dishes were always well-prepared

Shops, cozy tavernas, and everything else you might need are within easy reach, and yet the hotel itself feels like a peaceful retreat away from the crowds

She talks to everyone in such a friendly and positive way, and whenever someone gives her feedback, she listens carefully and accepts it with an open mind

Excellent cozy hotel, friendly and attentive staff attitude, delicious food, close to the beach. rest are 100% satisfied!

We stayed there as a couple and were completely satisfied. It was our second time, and we’ll definitely be coming back! The hotel is great, and the value for money is absolutely right

Hotel is a short 10 minutes walk from a grossly overpacked beach at the entrance area because all the resort hotels put their sunbeds right down to the sealine (which is illegal in Greece)

We rested in this hotel with a group and everyone was very satisfied. The beach is close and sandy, the swimming pool is ok for refreshing. The food and service are very good. There were also live performers a few times

But a 5 minute walk further up the clean beach was plenty of free sand and sea areas. Everything in Malia including restaurants, supermarkets, bars and souvenir shops were only a short walk from this hotel

Sunbeds always available at the pol and no towel wars. Swimming pool was never crowded, was clean and close to the bar/restaurant. Food was great and buffet breakfast is more than enough for all

Amazing staff and great location. Lots of shops 5 minutes away, beach not far either however I visited others that were about 10 minutes drive. Hotel is very youth oriented so can get a bit noisy

the security were sound, but did walk in on me at a bad time😳 the drinks were a good price aswell as the food. the pool had a great atmosphere and everyone loved me and my mates tricks

English Breakfast which was included is not the best v limited and is the same everyday, not bad for one day but then becomes boring. The cleaning of the studio could be better but it was ok

Best hotel ever! Staff are super friendly and always go the extra mile to make sure you’re having a comfortable stay! Hotel rooms are clean and beds are comfy.

Cleaners changed towels every 2 days, emptied the bins and made the bed. TV not great only 3 channels but again if you are on holiday one wants to sightseeing. Wi-Fi and Air con charged locally and quite pricey

The staff are always collecting the jugs, empty bottles and changing out ash trays. The pool itself is slightly on the smaller end, but definitely able to swim if you wanted

It's a 15-20 minute walk to the beaches, and about the same distance to grocery stores, just in the other direction. The lack of sidewalks on the road was a problem for us since we were with children

2 swimming pools both good the one closest to bar on the right is most quiet but very deep at 3 metres. Area is good with a tavern and few restaurants around

The rooms are basic, but we're comfortable enough for our 10 day stay- and most people don't spend that much time in their rooms on holiday, surely just a place to change and sleep? We were self catering and managed to make some meals on nights we didn't want to go out toneat- there is enough room on the balcony for a table for 4 and we had our meal out there before heading off out

We stayed here across the end of July and into August and had a lovely holiday! Like others, I was nervous due to some negative reviews, but these are definitely put on by exactly the type of people that would otherwise ruin a holiday for everyone due to their own selfish behaviour

Quite bright at night with the emergency exit sign. Shower is bad as the curtain sticks to you and in my room unable to hang shower due to the curtain pulling it off the hook

Bar staff very friendly and waiters and waitresses very kind. 2 brothers are present and kind. Rooms are very basic but have nice tvs and standard beds which are a bit hard

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)

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 a visit to Nisos beach as well for a great cocktail & sunset views!

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

A big shout out to the security guard who made sure that guests were following hotel protocols. This hotel is set back from Malia's beach road so noise from surrounding bars and restaurants is minimal or not at all

The fabulous beach and top quality restaurant/bar (NISOS) is about a 1 minute walk from the hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my extended holiday here and will definitely be returning in the near future

The hotel is beach front with stunning views from the room and from the beach. Enough space for everyone at the beach and by the pool. The pool, the room, and all the open areas were spotless clean

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

The restaurant at the hotel by the beach offers a good choice of breakfast, something for lunch and cocktails- all tasty and of good quality. One can see that everyone is working hard and not stopping for a second

Great thanks to Sophia, to the young lady serving every day with a smile and calmness, to all the boys and to all other members of the team! We would love to come back at Parthenis Beach Suites!

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

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

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

The pool area was perfect for relaxing during the day, and the on-site food and drinks were great quality and fairly priced

Location-wise, it was ideal – just a short walk to the *****, but far enough away that you could still get a decent night’s sleep when you needed it

There is enough food for a hearty breakfast, which we liked. Our first time in ages not going all inclusive and this was far better. The ladies in the kitchen are wonderful, so friendly and helpful, always

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

Hotel was really nice, people cleaned it every day for us and the bar by the pool was brilliant! Despina was caring and a hard worker and always made our day brighter!

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

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

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

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

The hotel is directly on the beach, but it also has a good-sized swimming pool. A quality hotel! Very friendly staff!

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 makes this hotel special is the friendly staff and the location on the sea shore, with nothing between you and the sea. It's far enough away from the Malia *****, yet walkable to charming Malia Old Town

East along the coast is a lovely walk to sandy beaches. The staff were super-helpful with suggestions of places to visit nearby

The Hotel is very nice, quiet and very clean. It even has an elevator for 2 floors (very useful for your luggage). The rooms are spacious, all have air conditioning, a balcony, a rain shower and electric blinds

The location is very good, it is not far to walk to the shops, bars and restaurants of Malia. The party street is easily accessible by foot and still far enough so you will not be bothered by the noise

Proximity to the beach and the center of Malia perfect, pleasant walks to restaurants that are delicious! Hotel Syrene, which is right by the sea, provides in the evenings a variety of music that is pleasantly heard from a distance

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.

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 end of August till October

The only reason I cannot give the hotel 5 stars is because our room was quite outdated. They have remodeled rooms with their own private pool (which were unfortunately sold out when we booked)

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 area with palm trees by the pool gives you a unique rest, the pool is perfect. The hosts are always happy, friendly and discreet

highly recommended very clean apartments very friendly owner top pool area with a beautiful view of the mountains top location 2-3 minutes walk to the beach and not even half a Minute away form the party street with clubs bars and restaurants

At first we had a room we didn't really like, but after we told the owner (?) about it, we got a really nice and calm room :) The Hotel has a really nice and cute little garden with a pool and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast that was included

Everything in Malia is easily reached by walking from here, it's just a few minutes to the beach and the party part of Malia is right around the corner. There's supermarkets right on the other side of the street

Staff and management were really lovely and very accommodating. Pool was amazing and pool area was very relaxing. Lounge areas around pool were great to sit and relax in the late evening

First of all staff was excellent and kind , rooms was good , great for family and couples . Awesome breakfast meal and love the cocktails drink they made . Lots of restaurants bar and shops Perfect 👌🏽

Shower was fantastic (important for me). Close to the restaurants and nightlife but far enough away that it wasn’t overly noisy. Shop just across the road which was super handy
