Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort

"Absolutely stunning hotel with fantastic amenities, lovely staff and incredible views. We only had breakfast but the options were plentiful and it was all very fresh. The hotel is only a mile from Malia and half a mile to Stalida so perfect for either. The room we had was on the beach front and was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of room and great aircon, well worth an upgrade! The pool entertainment staff - Lucas, Cora, Vanessa all work so hard and create a lovely atmosphere around the pool during the day with games and music. The spa staff are lovely, I had a wonderful massage by Maria. Can't recommend this hotel enough!"

Enorme Ammos Beach

"We had a massage here at Ammos beach spa and wow, nothing but great things to say. Mikela and Alexandra was amazing. Didn’t realize how strong their hands are."

High Beach Resort

"We had a lovely stay at High Beach Resort in Crete. 🌴☀️ The activities were a great addition to our holiday — I especially enjoyed the relaxing yoga sessions, and my son really loved playing ping pong and getting involved. It created such a nice, friendly atmosphere. The person running the activities was always very welcoming, friendly and helpful, making everyone feel included. A beautiful place with lovely people and great memories. Thank you! 😊"

Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels

"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."

Not forgetting the lovely Christina on the bar during the day, her breakfast is a must. The pool is lovely and inviting with plenty of sunbeds on the terrace along with a pool table in the dining area at the rear of the bar."

Koni Village Hotel

"A welcoming and friendly hotel. Between us (of which there was 13) we had a variety of rooms all of which were sea facing, large balcony, pleasant with sufficient hanging space and drawers. Fridge, safe (payable at reception) and hairdryer in the room. The floors were cleaned, beds made and towels changed regularly. Our shower screen was small, so water did spill over the bathroom floor making it wet but others had a large screen and no issues. Air conditioner worked fantastic and kept us super cool our whole stay. There are two pools one is lovely large pool with steps to enter which could do with some grip on them as we witnessed many people slipping on entering the pool so be warned hold on to the rail! There were plenty of beds at anytime of the day. The other pool is smaller and quieter also with beds available. There is one bar but it is never too crowded, the snacks are available here too. The restaurant is opposite serving mainly Greek foods, amazing variety of soups, salads, cooked meats/fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, chips slight variations each day for lunch/dinner. If you are looking for English fast food this is not for you! We heard a few people complaining about the food which was a shame as even our fussiest child managed to find something to eat! Breakfast plenty of eggs available fried, scrambled, hard boiled. Toast, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, meats/cheeses etc. bacon, beans mushrooms and sausage. The hotel is hilly, if you are in the higher rooms at the top of the complex but the big pool, bar and restaurant are on one level. It is a good 10min walk to the beach via the underpass"

Sirens Beach & Village

"We had an excellent experience during our two-week holiday. The hotel has a great location, a beautiful beach, and excellent facilities. A special compliment goes to the wide variety of entertainment and activities offered, as well as to the entire animation team, whose enthusiasm and dedication played a major role in making our stay so enjoyable."

Philoxenia Hotel & Spa

"At the start of July, me and four other friends stayed at Philoxenia hotel in Malia. As a group of 19 year olds we were looking for a hotel close to the strip which we did get with this hotel however the experience we had with the staff was unacceptable. There was an incident on our second day when we had bottles of water and some crisps at the pool area. We had missed the signs which say no outside food and drink, but this was an easy mistake. We were then screamed at by a member of staff and told “get out” and “your finished” and that we have “no respect”. The member of staff, whose name was George, then had to be held back by another member of staff because of his aggressive nature. This was unacceptable and no 19 year old girl should be spoken to like this and be made to feel unsafe. We were also banned from the swimming pool with no warning. This was also unacceptable as we paid to use the facilities. Two of my friends who are mixed race also felt mistreated during our stay. One of them was not let into breakfast until she was with one of our white friends. Overall we were not happy with the way we were treated and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The only good thing about it was its location and the pool area was nice."
