"Do not stay here unless you want your money stolen. We confronted the woman at reception only to be told that it must’ve been one of our friends who didn’t have their money stolen. They purposely don’t steal from one person so they can frame them. Just save yourself the hassle and don’t stay here."

📍 El. Venizelou 183, Str, Malia
★★★ 8.2 (18 reviews)

"From the moment we entered the hotel it took us 15 minutes to even see a member of staff. When the manager came down to check us in he was EXTREMELY rude to the point I genuinely thought he could be putting on some sort of act or joke. I was there with 5 male friends and from the get go he began immediately insulting us and when we asked what his problem is he let us know he’s more than happy to immediately kick us out and keep our money. His attitude and behaviour was abysmal and by this point all we had done was walk into the hotel and wait ages to see someone. When anyone of us would attempt to speak to him he would tell us to “shut up or leave” and this was still whilst we were attempting to check in, this is when we called him out on his attitude and his threats were made. “You don’t like my attitude? Leave, f*ck off”. An absolute immature rude man-child, we are paying customers of your sh*tty hotel, at least give us a slither of respect. We noticed he would only ever do this to male customers and witnessed him acting the same way to other groups of lads. You could practically whisper in your room and he would come up and give you a noice complaint and threaten to kick you out. He needs to be shut down, fired and banned from working in any hospitality roles, it’s a shame because the actual hotel itself wasn’t bad but was completely spoiled by his constant rude immaturity"

★★★★★ 9.5 (62 reviews)

"We were absolutely blown away by our stay at this hotel. As a couple in our early 30s looking for a relaxing getaway, it exceeded all of our expectations and is the best hotel we have stayed in and can see why it has so many excellent reviews. We were lucky enough to receive a complimentary upgrade to a swim-up room (without asking!) and it truly made our week. It was such a special touch and made our stay even more memorable. Every single meal we had was delicious! High quality food with impeccable service throughout. The staff were attentive and friendly. If you’re looking for a peaceful, classy, and modern hotel where you can truly switch off and relax, we couldn’t recommend this place more highly. We would happily return!"

"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 ."

"What can we say, from arrival to depart, Akis absolutely looked after us both. From check in, to recommendations of places to visit, restaurants and even offered run us to the airport if our taxi at 3am didn't turn up! The hotel is lovely, clean, and with beautiful gardens, let photos speak for self. Location is perfect, no noise even though close to strip. Peaceful around pool. We had a lovely stay for the week, with Akis and family making us very welcome. Thank you!"

Niriides Palace Hotels in Hersonissos

Niriides Palace

"We spent 200e for one night for a suite with a jacuzzi where the bed sheets and one pillow had various prints on them and a lot of dirt. We also had our baby with us and there was dust everywhere in his crib. I would not recommend it to anyone, especially someone with children!!! We spoke to the reception and after the girl came to see it, she told us that it was the washing machine's fault, but it's not our fault that we waste 200e on something that doesn't deserve it!!!!!"

Anemos Suites by Estia Hotels in Hersonissos

Anemos Suites by Estia

"Well, we wouldn't want to stay here as a family for our whole holiday because the location is very close to the airport and a road with quite a traffic volume (both causing a higher noise level), the bathroom was rather small (we stayed at suite 108) and the beds weren't the most comfortable. BUT: considering the good value for money (you can't expect 5 star luxury for less than 100 EUR a night), the proximity to the airport to catch a flight, the free parking, the excellent restaurant, etc. it is still a recommendation for the night after arrivel or the one before departure..."

"There are many pomegranate trees. It is fun to squeeze your own juice for breakfast in the morning. On the last day, I found that the swimming pool behind the hotel reception is a heated swimming pool. It's just that the opening hours are too short."

"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!!"

Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa Hotels in Hersonissos

Akasha Beach Hotel & Spa

"We had a great time, the facilities and service are excellent. We were disappointed with the food, both the breakfast, lunch and dinner. The only food that was tasty and appropriate for the hotel level was the food that was paid extra in the restaurant on the beach/pool. There is no free drink, the water is sold at a price 13 times higher than in nearby supermarkets. Even if you arrive very early all the beds in the pools are taken/kept, people keep them even while they go for a few hours to eat/sleep, but the hotel employees, unfortunately, do nothing about it."

Lofos Apartments Hotels in Hersonissos

"We had the most amazing week.The hotel was immaculate throughout and the private pool was absolutely incredible — perfect for relaxing in peace. Room large and spotless! Maria and George, the owners, were incredibly welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home straight away. The bar staff were also fantastic — so friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Food available to order and always cooked fresh,delicious. The whole area is peaceful and quiet, but still really convenient with shops and restaurants both down the hill and up the hill nearby. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely love to come back again. Maria and George were waiting ages for us to be picked up to see us off home. They only went for second to do something and missed us ( the bar staff waved us off 🥰) Maria rang us! Whilst we was on the bus home to say sorry they missed us go! Beautiful people. Pleasure to have met owners and staff. Thankyou for a wonderful holiday. Becky + Andrew x"

"Excellent in every way. The breakfasts were consistently superb, the staff friendly and appreciative, the accommodation was spacious, with a magnificent view of Hersonissos and the cleaners visited daily. Special mentions to Daria for her smiles and superb breakfasts, and to Nikos for his excellent assistance and suggestions. We will be back - sooner the better!"

Star Beach Village & Water Park Hotels in Hersonissos

Star Beach Village & Water Park

"Large hotel, unfortunately I didn't get the room as advertised. It was more dated and in the middle of the hustle and bustle, even though I'd requested a quiet room. The air conditioning hadn't been cleaned in ages, was covered in dust, yellow with dirt, and very noisy. The bed was very comfortable. The food is very good, with plenty of choices at both the dinner and breakfast buffets. I was too late to check in for lunch, so I can't comment. Lots of pools, beautiful beach. The spa is wonderful. I booked the scrub massage and armpit waxing. Perfect! The staff is very friendly; nothing is too much trouble. I would especially like to thank George for the lovely evening and the excellent service. Bus stop number 24, in front of the car rental company, is on your left from the entrance. A bus to Heraklion and other places runs every 20 minutes. The center of Hersonissos is a 10-minute walk."

"Very very very good service , tasty food, great spa!!! Inna the massagist is WOW!!!! Very professional, kind, explains everything and has golden heart and hands! George from the reception is one of a kind! Made everything to make us feel comfortable. Must thank Emilio the chef for his kind attitude! The location is a little bit hard to get by walking. Its better to have a car. By the way we rented a car right in the hotel and it was a good experience."

"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."

Blue Sea Beach Affiliated by Melia ★★★★★
"Wow what an amazing hotel. Stunning from start to finish. Amazing food, with sooo much choice. The view from the dining room is awesome and you can hear the sea eating your meals also outdoor seating much choice and snack but did beautiful food too. We had a night at a la carte for our 20th anniversary and hubby’s birthday while the sun went down. The food was lovely. The drinks are good but AI cocktails disappointing but most hotels seem the same these days. The bar men bring your drinks and even remember what you drink. Lovely attitude and happy bar men. but most hotels are the same these days. We arrived very late after a 4.5 delay and were greeted by a lovely man who checked us in and we were handed fresh flannels and a lemon drink. Our cases were taken to our room which was lovely and a plate of food and water in our fridge with complimentary wine. The pool area is lovely, usual sun bed reserve dash (maybe a book your sun bed app would be better). Entertainment was ok 2 nights of drifters and a lady singer were amazing but could be better. Entertainment man worked hard non stop. Thank you all so much everybody ❤️"

"Horrible staff members. Cleaners do not clean properly the room was dirty as we arrived. Dirt Stains in the microwaves kettles and cups and out toilet was broken!! It was being ripped out of the floor the whole time. Unfortunately the hotel charged us 90 euro for getting some makeup on some of their towels! never have I known a hotel to charge for getting towels dirty considering the fact the makeup was easy to take off as we took it to a dry cleaners and paid 20 euros and they took any makeup off with one wash!!! Not only did they charge us a ridiculous amount they also threatened us with the police saying if we didn’t pay they would call the police and kick us out all of over some makeup on a towel!!"

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."

"would definitely recommend these apartments. I was worried it was going to be mostly young people , but it was a very mixed age group and there was a lovely vibe about the place. The staff are so friendly, the place very clean, and the location was perfect. Once you closed your doors at night, you couldn't hear any noise. Even sitting on the balcony was very peaceful. The food was also very nice and reasonably priced and the local restaurants in the old town are well worth a visit"

Stella Blue Seaside Resort ★★★★
"6 of us between the age of 38 and 68 stayed here in May. The area is quiet and not suitable for those looking for more lively atmosphere. It was a relaxation holiday for us and the hotel and staff did a perfect job in every way. The food options here very much focus on quality over quantity. We found buffet food to be fresh and replenished often but sometimes food was not that hot. The food in the a La carte restaurants was amazing! The Lobster ravioli and the T bone steak were my favourite meals. The staff here genuinely care and want you to have a great time. Ranya and Marina in guest relations are brilliant. Ranya knew as a group we would struggle to get booked into the restaurants so did this for us ahead of us speaking to her - great service! Other staff members that made our stay great were Michael, Christian, Abi, Nefeii, Gopell, George and the lads helping run the drinks in the lobby and also the waitresses in the Asian lunch restaurant. The lady in the spa was very friendly she helped us secure spa access every morning for my Dad who needed it for health reasons. The spa is limited to 6 people at any time which means it does not get crowded. Management are present and you can see they are working hard to make the service excellent but at times it is noticeably a hinderance. We sat down for lunch at the Asian restaurant and due to management intervention that day we ended up being served last when we had sat down first because the manager insisted the waitress serve in a certain order. Bit frustrating for staff and customers. We used the spa for a tranquil couple of mornings out of the sun and for a massage. Keep an eye on the app for spa offers, we had a shoulder massage with 1hr spa access for €50, the quality of the treatment was really good and professional. Pool towels and beds are comfortable. Cocktails are freshly made and were nice. The hotel could benefit from a water refill station to save queuing for a drink as quite often we noticed the bar was under staffed for the amount of guests. It would be great if ice cream was freely available like most other all inclusive 4* and above but here it was only available at the a La carte restaurants. Entertainment here is sophisticated and fairly minimal don’t expect Benidorm style entertainment because it’s not that sort of place. We had a comfort double room on the ground floor. Rooms are not very sound proof so take ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. There are free shower rooms, fitted with toiletries, towels and hair dryer if you have a late flight and don’t wish to pay €95 for the late checkout. Don’t hesitate to book this you won’t be disappointed!"

"I was at this intel for 4 nights on a business trip. As we arrived the person at the reception made me pay in advance the whole stay and I remember telling them that I had already learnt that paying in advance is a bad sign. The next morning there was no electricity nor water and I also discovered that water was dripping from the ceiling of my bathroom over the toilet. That same morning I informed the hotel personnel but nothing was done about the drip. The water is not potable but the hotel only provided 750 ml bottle on the first day. The worst part was that one of my business partners was shouted at by the owner and told to find another place to stay. This may seem like.a.nice hotel from the outside but I would and will avoid."
