Hotels on first line in Malia

That to me, is a great indication of a place that treats their staff well! The pools were gorgeous and so clean; the private beach was an actual slice of heaven; the food was so tasty (seriously - not a single disappointing dish!); and the facilities were so clean and tastefully decorated

Our trip to the wonderful island of Crete was made so much more magical by the Alexander Beach Hotel. We will highly recommend to anyone thinking of Crete for their next holiday!

The pool restaurants have really good food and the pool areas are calm. Overall the alexander hotel is very pretty and a great hotel

The service everywhere was courteous and friendly (cleaning, maintenance, reception staff and restaurant staff). We had an excellent service experience at the food and dining service through our stay

We had a very positive and pleasant experience at The Alexander beach hotel!

But what stood out most, were the staff! At breakfast, Maria and Sofia would always greet us with a warm smile and such genuine hospitality - they truly started our day off right! For lunch, we were served by Evalina and Aida - who were so incredibly kind, helpful, and generous to us and our little boys

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

Not staying at hotel, but used sun loungers on beach for one day. Not cheapest in Stalis, €9 for 2 beds and parasol, but did get loan of 2 towels too for price. Sun loungers very comfy, nice beach

Beautiful property, right on the beach with crystal clear waters and warm sand. The staff were fantastic and always willing to help/answer questions or give recommendations for tours or food etc

Generally good experience with everything. The location is stunning, the pools and seating as well as the restaurants are located beautifully along the coastline with views to the sea

I had a lovely experience with Mrs Eleni🤲 she guide me true tradition relaxing 75min of ⛰️Cretan massage all body with local raky🍵 and 🫒 oil. Was amazing and deep 💦🙏 with luxury Spa facility arounded🌊 pleasure for body

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

I heartily congratulate the hotel management for the wonderful way they run the facility. The transfer to and from the airport was super convenient, very punctual, and fast – probably my best experience so far

The music in the bar in the evenings was so lovely, especially the beautiful setting over the pool with the light. And we had a great time on the beach too

Only downside for us was that the quieter River pool, with signs asking children not to play or be loud and so was more adult-only, only had poolside beds dedicated for particular bungalows/rooms

This was a bit frustrating when the main pool was full of kids having fun, and the river pool was beautifully quiet and peaceful. We could still use that pool, but we couldn't relax by it

My top tip would be that the best sun loungers by the main pool are by far the orange beds, they have shade you can move around and aren't on the grass which can become muddy

Incredible food, we tried every restaurant and particularly enjoyed the Cretan one. The staff were so lovely and friendly. One thing for future travellers to be aware of – it's a VERY family-friendly hotel

I'd say it is a family hotel first and foremost, honestly. We were one of the only parties there without children. But, the children were all pretty well behaved and it certainly didn't spoil our stay

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!

There is someone at the front desk 24/7, which made us feel safe. The gardens were full of flowers and trees — a small paradise. The pool was crystal clear, with an incredible pool bar

The cocktails were amazing, and there was a wide variety to choose from. The hotel’s location is right in the heart of the city — everything is close by

The girl at the bar was outstanding — always smiling and speaking to us with so much warmth. She was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met at a bar

Recently visited my home country with my husband and our 2 year old son

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

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

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

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

I stayed in the Malia Bay Beach Hotel with my friend for a week. We got a great room with a view on the pool. The rooms aren’t big, however they are in a great condition

Great position!!! Just beside the beach! Lovely meals!!! All of the were tasty! Great both quality and quantity! Really new room! Evreything was in great condition

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

We stayed in the hotel for a total of 6 days. The location is amazing and the beach is found in front of the hotel which we loved. The animation in the hotel is amazing and offers entertainment for all ages

The room was clean, spacious, and had a stunning view of the surroundings. I particularly enjoyed the amenities, such as the pool and on-site dining options, which added to the relaxing atmosphere

The hotel's location was perfect, allowing easy access to local attractions and the beach. Overall, a wonderful stay—highly recommend!

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

Hi Koula Koula is the new owner now she is amazing. You have everything on your doorstep, lovely pool area, room are beautiful. And Koula is the brilliant owner and host

Wonderful hotel.All the staff are very friendly!The room are very clean!It is next the center and the beach is just a few steps.Thank you,I had a nice holidays.

The new hostess, Koula is the best. The hotel felt like home. Really close to the beach.

I recommend this hotel 100% and I would advice to book you’re holidays at this hotel to have a nice stay in 2025. Keep going with the good job Koula!! 🫶🏼

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

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

The beach is great – clean water, plenty of sunbeds – but there are often big waves, so sometimes you might not be able to swim at all. We were lucky and had calm seas for half the holiday

There are three pools, all well-maintained and pleasant. There are three beach bars, but only one is included in the all-inclusive package; the others offer a 30% discount. The pool bar also serves snacks during the day

Beach towels are available for free, and exchanging them costs €1. The food was a big disappointment. Although there’s a lot of it, it’s the same every day and the quality is very low

The complex is well-maintained and clean, perhaps a bit rambling, but offers everything you could wish for (cardio room, outdoor fitness area, three pools, sports activities, a fantastic beach, etc

High Beach and High Beach White and they share the facilities. We had the opportunity to see both parts. The High Beach was more a family style kids friendly place and White was adults only, quiet relax place

Fantastic experience at High Beach Resort ! We stayed for 1 week (7-14th of August) and it was amazing ! Nice staff and really good food. They have the best beach and everyone is super helpful

The sevice and the rooms in the hotel were excellent!It's not fancy hotel and there is no enteratiement for kids but this the the staff is friendly and the beach is great

The rooms were clean and a staff very friendly. A shout out to a lady Thelma at the front desk and lady Maria restaurant who always made us feel welcome. Over all I recomend this hotel and I'll probably return again!

I've spent a vacation here with my family during the summer of 24. The hotel was recomended to us by our relatives who vere here a few years back (before covid). The hotel is separated in two parts

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.

Very nice hotel with feiendly stuff, great beach and always fresh food. Perfect for older people. Calm place.

Watch out for two great guys who work there, Armando who does the sun loungers and Tonin one of the waiters really nice guy both have work here for a good few years now always lovely to see them

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

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

We spent a week in Crete and went there several times — the cocktails were great, the atmosphere was fantastic, the bartender was very friendly, and we had some amazing evenings there! We’ll definitely be coming back!

A real quiet place to stay, local cucine, simply and super food. Even is in center of the local movies no noises in the night. A real good place to relax , good cocktails. The beach is a walking distance

the hotel is in a very good location, close to the main street and beaches, despite the proximity it is not noisy at all. great staff and very clean

the food in the hotel is very tasty. breakfast and dinner are delicious and satisfying. the senior lady cook is very nice, i will not forget how she helped me with ice cream, she reminded me of my grandmother

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

We chose the hotel for our holiday through Booking. We arrived at the hotel by rental car. The hotel has two swimming pools, but they were closed very early in our opinion, around 8PM

For the price, the hotel provided what I was after travelling solo and out of season

The food was lovely , especially the Chicken Souvlaki, which is absolutely delicious ! 2 fabulous pools and a small baby pool with sunbeds and parsols

Our view was garden view with a view of the pool and beautiful mountains , it was spectacular

The showers are basic but do the job. They supply a hot plate , kettle, and toaster & all your cutlery and crockery. TV with just standard channels. A balcony with a table and chairs

We couldn't fault the place and really want to come back next year with more family. Thank you, Yiannis Manos it was a pleasure

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

Nothing is too much for them to assist with. Every Saturday night they host their Greek family BBQ, all you can eat traditional Greek food, music, traditional Greek dancing, it's a must for anyone staying at Aegean Sky

The highlights for me were the clean room upon arrival, the pool being stunning, the walk to Malia beach being about 200 m from the hotel and the friendly staff! When I was leaving the front staff gave me directions to the bus I needed for the airport and that was very helpful! Forgot to mention the food was amazing too

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

we will definitely be coming back for another stay! thank you so much we had the best time ever! defo recommended to anyone! it’s also right by the centre strips aswell as a 2min walk from the beach with loads of water sports

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

Great location near the ***** and beach. Staff really helpful and modern facilities are excellent for the price you pay! Perfect for different types of trips to Malia due to location

Great pool facilities and bar area for food and drinks all day long, highly recommend for a long stay in the area

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

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)

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

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

We fell in love with the home made Tzatziki & Gyros! It's a beautiful location in the midst of the centre close to the beach and many restaurants

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
