Malia Old Town

"We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Old Town, surrounded by great restaurants and cafés, and just a short walk to the main strip. It’s close enough to enjoy all the fun, but far enough to escape the loud music at night, which was a huge plus. The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable, and even had direct USB ports for charging our phones—super convenient! A special shoutout to “Yaya”...

Top Malia Hotel Reviews

Kronos Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed 2 nights. The facility is not new and the room and bathroom on the small side, but it was clean and well kept. Location was fantastic, we had an ocean view room and it was a short walk to the old harbour and the vibrant restaurant and shopping streets. Breakfast included hot and cold items and the area was kept clean. Overall good value for the price. "

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive

8/10 Good

"First would like to say I'd definitely come back to this hotel on my next holiday to Crete. The hotel is quite massive and lovely to walk around on a warm night. The room and the balcony was spotless. Didn't see much I didn't like about this hotel, many locations to sunbathe, swim and relax. Some of the hotel staff are polite and helpful especially the bartenders on the 17.00 shift on blue bar and the bar by the Olympic size pool, it was easy to have a conversation with them and they gave good recommendations on where to go and what to see around the island. The cleanup crew (as nice as they are) do not have patience, my do not disturb sign was on and countless times they knocked and walked in without waiting for an answer back which was an inconvenience cause we was either sleeping or getting changed. The food at the main restaurants had a good selection, tastey and filling. I personally enjoyed lunch in the restaurant by blue bar and the snack bar. The kebab best I've ever tasted. Although some of the desserts taste like they had been out for quite while. The hotel had a lot to offer in terms of entertainment every day was something new and was quite enjoyable. There are shops, restaurants, bars and a bus stop as soon as you exit the hotel which is very convenient."

Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful experience at Creta Maris. Would recommend booking the theme restaurants as soon as you arrive to ensure you get to try the cuisine outside of the buffet although the buffet was good as well. Sometimes hard to find chairs by the pools but can generally find beach chairs. The staff were very friendly, would recommend the Nami wine cellar wine tour, the staff running it were very informative of the islands history and wines were very tasty."

Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort to Live

10/10 Excellent

"We were late getting in but the driver remained until we made it. The hotel was a short drive from the airport. We received a nice greeting from the staff. Check in was personalized and speedy. They presented some snacks and beverages were available. We were escorted to our room, which overlooked an Infinity water feature, a beautiful view of the sea and it was CLEAN. Dinner and Breakfast provided a wonderful variety of Greek dishes. A/C was available but the Sea breeze kept us very comfortable thru the night. "

Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were amazing. Very nice and kind. The breakfast was good. The beds were a little hard. Really good taverna restaurant nearby with traditional food. Great location to rent a car and walk from the airport to. Easy. Great stay for an airport transition to or from Heraklion. Quiet room despite being next to airport. "
