Yiannis Manos Hotel Resort

4 stars out of 5 for the room only because there was no microwave in the rooms, and the shower was really small. Otherwise the room was very comfortable and practical.

I would give the service a 10 out of 5! Rooms cleaned every two days, bar service was fast and friendly.

The worst thing for us about this wonderful hotel was its location. 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. Although the surrounding infrastructure is certainly not the responsibility of the hotel owners, the first impression was still spoiled.

Nice hotel. Clean and well kept. 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. 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. Check in easy but after 10pm you get checked in by security who keep passports till next day so you can get properly checked in. 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. Malia star is best. Me and wife loved it. Beach is good but a bit of walk if you want the good one which is potamos beach. Shop very close which sells everything but spar down road. Location close to strip but not much around apart from that. Get a taxi from reception. Good good food at hotel itself too. Very nice dinners and breakfast

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. Our experience of the staff was nothing but positive, at the bar/restaurant, reception, and the security. Everyone was lovely. 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. The shower cubicle is mentioned a lot, and it is small, but the bathroom is a 'wet room' with a drain in the floor, so we managed absolutely fine. Cleaners came in every other day without fault and emptied bins, changed bed linen and towels and swept and mopped- no complaints at all there! The pool area was great- two pools, one a little livelier than the other with music being played, but not too loud. There was no sunbed wars at all, and never an issue getting one with an umbrella round the pool even in the middle of August. Some days but the pool were busier than others, and yes there are groups of younger guests destined for the nightlife, but we found them to be absolutely fine, just trying to have a good time with their mates. On any occasion that someone got a little rambunctious (which we only saw once in our 10 day stay) the security or the manager came and had a word and all was fine after. Food at the restaurant was very good, and whilst drinks at the hotel bar are a little more expensive than out in the town, they were not unreasonable. The hotel is around a 15 minute walk into town, and if self-catering, I would recommend using the big supermarket for any shopping at the local mini supermarket is quite a bit more expensive. Potamos beach was about a 15 minutes walk in the opposite direction to town, and this beach was glorious and not right near the Malia ***** if you want to avoid the younger crowd- not that there were any issues anyway. I found the whole area very welcoming and safe, I wasn't worried going out for a run on my own, even down some of the quieter back streets. An added bonus for me- there were cats everywhere! The hotel itself has a few cats that reside on site, that are loked after and fed by the security guards and were friendly and tame. This is a budget friendly hotel, and designed to meet the needs of an many people as possible, so there was a blend of young adults, families with small kids, families with teens and older couples and everyone co existed well with each other. My advice if you are worried about potential noise from party goers returning in the early hours, ask for a room in the block furthest from the

After reading reviews before going my friends and I were nervous about whether the hotel would be funny towards us being on a girls holiday. However, this was not the case at all. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a really pleasant stay and would visit again. The only down side about the rooms is the shower is quite awkward to use, but apart from that everything else was really good.

I was worried after reading some of the reviews but, we're having a great time. The staff are lovely, security guards are friendly and helpful, bar/ restaurant staff are really helpful, always checking that everything is okay etc. Situated about 10 mins by foot from Malia *****, this is a perfect location for a family of young teenagers, not too quiet but not in your face loud, close to beaches, supermarkets etc which are accessible by foot too. The pools/ restaurants etc are all of a good standard, food reasonably priced too. Only downside I would say is the shower... very small and wets the floor of the bathroom... but that's the only thing we could say was a negative. Would definitely come again. Booked this as a last minute holiday but really pleased with our experience so far.

Just back and loved this place after reading reviews I was a bit put of but nothing was a problem very clean so dont go by all reviews

We had the best time!! Room was such good value for money and the restaurant had amazing food - I recommend the garlic bread and the cocktails!! Service was exemplary, would recommend to anyone Thankyou so much Yiannis Manos
