Primavera Beach Hotel Studios & Apartments

I inadvertantly booked this place because I liked the look of the pool area on Jet2 website and the price was right! Didn't spot the vibe ad and the map showed it as being away from the clubs, close to the beach and plenty of restaurants around. When we arrived we were met by Yannis, who gave us a welcome drink of a fruit cocktail. He even took both suitcases to the room. Once he had given us the basics and we had unpacked, we went and had 1 or 2 cold sherbets. The room we had been given was a modest size, with 3 beds set out as a single and double. Firm and with clean sheets, just lovely! There was a wardrobe with some hangers, to which Yannis gave us a few more when asked. The shower curtain was a bit of a mare, as it stuck to your butt when having a shower! But we managed. There was a kettle, bits of crockery for 3, cutlery the same and even a toaster! Small fridge and air con. The squeeze had her own hairdryer, so not a problem. There was a safety box in the wardrobe, but as usual we didn't bother. Out the door,left, and down to the pool area. It was shared with the apartments next door, but there was plenty of space and beds to go round, while we were there. The bar had plenty to drink, there was food to be had too! All the staff here were very friendly towards us. The biggest thing we found though, considering that the tax was only 20 euros, was that housekeeping were in and changing the sheets every other day! Excellent! We had towels a plenty, toilet rolls and the paper bin went too! All in all we had a wonderful 2 weeks in and around the place.

This is our 3rd year at this hotel as per usual the bar staff yiannis and Alex yarifalia Adrian make us feel like family there hospitality are second to none. Already booked for 2025 me and my family wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Malia and it’s all because off the staff that work there . They are absolutely amazing. See you all next year

Primavera Beach Hotel & Apartments has a lot going for it, especially when it comes to location, food, and service. Situated in a prime spot, it’s perfect for anyone looking to explore the area with ease. The on-site restaurant also deserves praise for offering delicious meals that cater to a range of tastes. Additionally, the staff (especially Victoria, Emma and Yanis) are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel personal and enjoyable. However, there are some drawbacks that are hard to overlook. The rooms are noticeably outdated, which detracts from the overall comfort and experience. It’s also disappointing to find out on arrival that air conditioning costs an additional €75 per room, which feels excessive considering the price of the stay.  Another significant issue is the discrepancy between the online advertisement and reality. While the hotel is marketed as adult-only, the pool is shared with a neighbouring hotel that accommodates families with children. This can be a letdown if you’re expecting a more peaceful, adults-only atmosphere. The pool also lacks quality and does need a deep clean... In summary, Primavera Beach Hotel & Apartments has some strong points but also several areas that need improvement. If you value location, good food, and friendly service, it’s a solid choice. However, be prepared for dated rooms, additional costs for air conditioning, and a less tranquil pool experience than advertised.

Great location and apartments. We came as a group of 5 girls and absolutely loved the holiday. We really enjoyed the hotel bar in the evening particularly, music was great and song requests were played! The staff were so friendly particularly Yiannis and Alex. Very chatty, great customer service and and they would go above and beyond to ensure you had the best time. Great guys, 10/10 service, and unreal cocktails and drinks :)

I’m just returning from the loveliest week as a solo traveller, 45 year old female at Primavera. I’d never been to malia before and as a solo female felt safe in a busy environment with big groups of younger lads and lasses. Upon arrival the bar area was busy with music and I got a welcome drink, then shown to my room and how to use everything and bits of general info about the apartments. ROOMS. Room was spot on very clean perfect size lovely bathroom with all amenities required. Fridge also kept the water and milk absolutely freezing cold! AIRCON was outstanding and went absolutely freezing if you wanted to change the settings with the remote control. BALCONY was small but had table chairs and clothes dryer and I could see the sea from my room. FOOD. Food was spot on for the price aswell. The pork gyros and chips were 5 euro and were lovely! Everything else I tried was also great and very well priced. The kitchen was also super clean you could see it when you walked past, gleaming stainless steel, POOL, pool area is great, music on daily and a good bar and seats for eating pool area is cleaned properly each day the pool is shared with next door but you can’t really tell you can sit anywhere and it doesn’t get very busy, as most people don’t get up till dinner time so it’s very peaceful most of the day. LOCATION. It is in the PERFECT location right at the beach next to some really cool beach bars and everything is in walking distance it’s right on the ***** but can’t hear any noise and there is so many shops, pharmacy, places to eat, bars, clubs, medical centre, it’s all 2 minute walk. It’s only a 15 walk to the old town which is beautiful and has some really fab places to eat. Every single place I ate and drank had the most amazing service, excellent prices, lovely local wines and amazing food. I couldn’t believe the standard of food and service in places for how cheap it all was. Last but not least the STAFF, wow! You will not find more helpful, friendly group of staff anywhere you go, amazing amazing people, amazing! The owners are wonderful and you call tell they are good people for how happy all their staff are, I do have to shout out to Andrei at the pool bar, he looked after me big time and was a friendly face each day usually trying to wind me up, and Alex and Yannis who are simply brilliant. Absolutely experts at their job at such a young age can hold an excellent conversation and have a right laugh. If you are going to Malia then look no further than Primavera.

Yiannis is the best looking greek but his brother alex is the tallest greek lad in the hotel so you wont be able to mistake them, karaoke is quality and theyre all very friendly. Id defo recommend a younger crowd because around 10 its booming and english definitely do takeover. 3 2 1 was the boys favourite
