Le Palme

Le Palme

📍 Mattheou Zachariadi 77, Malia
★★★ 8.2 (25 reviews)

"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."

Pyrgos Blue

Pyrgos Blue

📍 Pirgou Street, Malia
★★★★ 9.7 (40 reviews)

"Pyrgos Blue is the most stunning and peaceful place I have ever stayed! The rooms are beautifully decorated and scrupulously clean (thank you Rona!) and well-equipped. The sea views, sunrises and sunsets from my balcony took my breath away on a daily basis. The food and drink at the Beach Bar was always delicious, freshly made and top-quality. The location was perfect for me, a 10-minute walk to supermarkets and tavernas, and a 2-minute walk to the beach. There are also some beautiful sand dunes to visit a little further away but easily walkable (Potamos beach). Finally, the warmth of the family who run it, Manos, Tula and Elena, literally blew me away - always a smile (despite it being end of season), nothing was too much trouble. I am definitely going back next year (and probably every subsequent year!!)"

Creta Verano Hotel

Creta Verano Hotel

📍 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"

"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!"

"Unbelievable from start to finish. Not a good experience. The manager was not a nice person, the only thing that was good was the breakfast I had on one visit. After that I went somewhere else. No rapport, just awful. He had no respect for disabled people"

Villa Mare Monte ApartHotel

Villa Mare Monte ApartHotel

📍 Kondilaki, Malia
★★★★ 9.3 (26 reviews)

"This aparthotel is ideal for people seeking a quiet place to stay away from the busy resort of Malia. It is situated on a hillside with views of the distant sea. Our room provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the delicious home cooked 3 course evening meals and breakfast buffet. This family run hotel is in excellent condition with a lovely swimming pool and outdoor games area. The walk into Malia town takes about 20 minutes and we learnt to avoid the strenuous walk back up the hill by taking a back road with more gentle slopes. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and well looked after."

Le Palme ★★★
"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!!"

Pyrgos Blue ★★★★
"Stayed here with a friend in June and absolutely loved it. The room was big, super clean, and had a private balcony with an amazing sea view—waves, stars, even a little chapel on an island. Total peace and privacy. We slept with the screen door open every night—no bugs, no AC needed: just the sound of the sea. The fridge was convenient, and in the pool bar drinks and meals are available. Staff was lovely, even served us a late meal when we arrived around midnight. Parking was easy, and it’s a great base for visiting spots like Sissi and the Minoan ruins. After exploring, we’d relax by the pool or garden—no loud music, just sea breeze. Malia’s restaurants are close by, and at walking distance. Just a small wish? A couple of hooks in the bathroom and a luggage stand would be handy. But that’s just nitpicking—this place is a gem."

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."

"Absolutely 💯 we can’t fault it, we arrived close on 9pm as we was staying half board the lovely manageress still made sure we had a three course meal cooked by the great chefs who served the most mouth watering meals throughout our 7 night stay…. I just wished I could take her home with us 🤣 As it was our 20th wedding anniversary we had complimentary bottle of champagne in our room, what a lovely surprise, The staff worked extremely hard and enjoyed many chats with the guests, having a laugh and making you feel homely and welcome, to say renaming my husband the English Cypriot 🤭 Honestly a memorable holiday, laid back, great views, excellent accommodation couldn’t ask for more! Looking forward returning!"
