It was right in the strip, amazing location, 10 minutes from the beach. Cleaning was every day, also changing towels every second day. The pool is great, you can get drinks in the bar next to it, the lady there is amazing. When we had an issue with a door not closing, a mechanic came and fixed it in 2 minutes, changed the light bulbs not working. Parking right in front of the property. It was really an amazing experience here.

Beautiful and green quite big hotel area, a lot of palm trees that gives you shade from the sun when needed. Despite the size of the area everything is pleasantly close. We stayed 1 week in the middle of May 2025 with 2 children (12 and 7 years). The Family Superior room given to us in another building close to the main building was absolutely perfect! It was on 1st floor (not ground floor). The room was spacious with a big balcony and a view directly to the sea about 50m from the beach. Couldn't be closer to the sea :) I think the rooms are renovated quite newly because they looked new and were very modern. Cleaned daily and sheets changed when necessary. Beds were wide and comfortable. The lighting in the room was good, lots of lights. They even had USB phone charging. 2 big pools, one is more active with music playing and some activities during the day. The other one is quiet and relax. Plenty of sunbeds. Beach is very beautiful and sandy but be careful, there are rocks in the bottom of the sea when going in. Go about 50-100m to the left and there's sandy and safe to go in and for children to play in the waves. There's another hotel building a little bit further, the Sirens Village, that belongs also to the same hotel where you can also eat and use the pool and sunbeds but they don't absolutely tell all the guests that. Food was ok but in a week it got a bit boring, a little bit repetitive, especially the desserts and cakes. And I would of liked if they served water melon in the breakfast and lunch time also, not only in dinner time.

Malia is a great place for food, beaches and a good location...

Malia is a great place for food, beaches and a good location to explore some of the surrounding areas. The old town provides amazing Cretan restaurants, pretty much all good, and some, like the Avli, Getonia, Sokaki, and Brassierie are excellent. Book a table if there in the busy season. There are local palace ruins which are well worth a visit and easy to get to on the happy train, which is also an experience on its own and does various trips up to the hills as well around town and locally. If there for while definitely book some trips out on a boat, as the sea is just deliciously clean and refreshing, and if feeling adventurous take a boat to Spinalonga and have a wander among the old leper colony. If you can get up in the hills, a visit to Lasithi Plato and make sure you stop off at the restaurant Taksiarhos - where all the food is home made by Joanna, the wife of Taksiarhos who owns this place - it is a complete treat to meet both of them as have a truly authentic Cretan meal and experience. And once the cave is back open (hopefully in 2026) visit Zeus' birth place just a little further up the hill. But of course, the weather is just fab here so do enjoy the sun be it on a beach or by a pool!

Malia is a great base for exploring eastern Crete,as it is well served by public transport,car hire is easy and reasonable,but if you just want to eat,drink ,sunbathe and play in a pool,on a beach or in a club or bar it is great too.

It’s nice beach location ! Lots of British young people ! Everyone super friendly ! Just opposite our Primavera beach hotel - nice sandy beach ! Please check prices for sunbeds !!! On first day we payed 80! euro ( Nissos beach ) for 4 sunbeds. Next day gone to Bikini beach ( just left side from Nissos entrance ) - and you get sunbeds for 9 euro !! Feel the difference!!! But food at Bikini beach was not so good as at Nissos or Pleasure beach ( to the right from Nissos beach ) From restaurants near by ours favorite was Drossiya !

When you're here, don't just party and beach!

When you're here, don't just party and beach! Take some time to explore the old town. Beautiful flowers, charming little streets and houses... This isn't an advertisement, but if you're there, check out the Honey Corner next to the little church to see the handmade honey, olive oil, and soaps. They make wonderful souvenirs to take home with you!

Malia is simply wonderful and I have visited it for the second time in the last two years. For those who like action and lots of tourists, then the center of Malia will definitely meet their expectations. On the other hand, there are also quieter parts on the eastern side of Malia. Great restaurants and the local people are simply amazing. Malia is also wonderfully located so that a trip to the big cities like Heraklion or Agios Nikolaos does not take more than half an hour or so.

End of season get your sightseeing in - perfect weather for it! Matala trip to see the Caves & Hippy-village was wonderful - quad bike trip - Iraklion etc etc hire a car, good pricing. Bus pricing is even better., takes from airport to Malia in less than hour for approx 4/5euro Malia Main strip is barely open (which suits many non-partying folk) witnessing the locals wind down & wake-up to their own life/priorities was wonderful. Watching little ones head to school - national OXi Day parade. Weather in late 20s mid Oct to early 20’s towards November… cooler evenings so take some warmer clothing.

We had two deluxe rooms. The rooms were modern and well equipped, especially the bathroom. Air conditioning was included in the price, which is always appreciated. We had half-board, which wasn’t what we were necessarily after, but it was still cheaper than other hotels in Crete which only did B&B or self-catering. Breakfast was fine, although may not meet expectations for fussier guests. Same with the evening meals; no complaints although some might grumble about lack of choice or repetition.

Enjoyed living in the old town of Malia close to excellent restaurants, supermarkets, the bakery and the beach. Our accommodation had access to an excellent roof terrace with great amenities for days when we wanted to do very little but be outside. Cleaning facilities are first class and our host was superb ready to help with recommendations, advice and information on Crete

Very nice studios, with comfortable rooms and well-equipped kitchen. The host is extremely helpful, and gives advice and recommendations for places to visit in Malia and in eastern Crete, tips & tricks about where you can find the best food and beaches. The private parking across the studios is perfect if you come by car.
