It’s a really beautiful place with some lovely restaurants, bars & some cute additions like the gelateria & the little on-site kafenio. The staff are brilliant with kids and they’ve thought of everything you need. Malia isn’t the prettiest area, but parts of the Old Town are charming with some lovely, great value restaurants. My only criticism of this hotel how expensive the restaurant are. We chose not to go half board or all-included but I wish we had – I think it would’ve been much better value overall! ##### Gemma Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nick May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was exceptional – the room, food, service, staff, facilities, and location.

We got a really lovely welcome with a refreshing drink by really helpful staff. The hotel has everything you need and the restaurants are all wonderful.

Kids club is great if child is over 3 years old. Very relaxing stay, only downside is beach is quite rocky compared to others visited in Crete, but you can always use the pool. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Jun 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay here! The facility is beautiful and offers many things to do. We didn't need to leave the resort at any time to do something else. Staff was mostly very sweet and friendly. Defenitely recommend or will come back someday :) ##### Claudia Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a lovely stay with our 2 year old. The property is well kept and staff is excellent. Enough dinner options (included in halfboard is the buffet or a discount in the other restaurants). Pool was great and it felt like a small village. Perfect for a relaxing holiday. The resort is a little outside of the village and we rented a car for a few days to explore part of the island. ##### Amy Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kevin Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place. Lots of kids. Great location, Amazing building, food and service. Maybe toooo child friendly for such an amazing place. Most areas are littered with Toddlers running around or making noise. ##### Kevin Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erik Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing and comfortable family holiday. Very comfortable stay, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pools. Good place to stay for a relaxing family holiday. One minor downside is the beach, which is not the best around for accessibility to the water for kids. But largely made up for by the rest of the experience. Would recommend. ##### Erik Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James Jun 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Well kept and lovely decor. Nice beach setup. Very big and more suited to families. Don’t think we have ever seen more babies, didn’t bother us but be prepared for a lot of baby strollers. Only disappointment was food. Breakfast buffet is excellent but dinner is at best mediocre. Problem is the restaurants cater to all inclusive guests and a la carte, which in this case meant ok service and disappointing food. Also Malia, the nearby town, is strictly bars and nightclubs, zero charm. Agios Nikalos 30 minutes away much nicer. ##### James Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sebastian May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We’ll come again! We had an absolutely great time at the hotel, the staff was very welcoming and the hotel facilities perfect, offering everyone the right alternative: with kids at the pool, quiet at the river pool or with some good chill out music by the beach - we’ll come again! ##### Sebastian Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pernille Eiberg Jul 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderfull. Very beautiful resort. Nice restaurants with decent prises. One widget though: They could improve the teenage program and the gym could be bigger. All in all a really great hotel.

You all made our stay special and we were so happy with the overall experience and service. ##### Claes Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Oct 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely hotel, main pool quite busy but the private beach was amazing with great beach bar and chilled music. We avoided the buffet and had incredible food at both the Cretan restaurant for breakfast and dinner and the Italian for dinner. Charming staff, just needs a minor rethink in bathroom as shower was narrow due to placement of soap holder.

It had many restaurants to choose from, some of the best resort/hotel food we've had. Even an ice cream/crepe bar! Staff was welcoming, warm and friendly. The spa was great. I didn't want to leave b/c they had everything there on the property. Would def come back again and recommend to friends. ##### PHUONG Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Valeria Aug 2, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Rocky Beach with broken umbrellas and dirty loungers, tiny gym with broken equipment (you have to book timeslots to secure a space) only limited timeslots available for restaurant reservation. Claustrophobic layout (with beautiful design elements. Food was good and staff friendly but we had to leave early because we found it impossible to relax and the place to crowded. Not your typical design hotel. ##### Valeria Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Henrik Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing hotel but they need a sunbed policy.. Amazing stay.. amazing hotel.. amazing beach, bar and restaurants..the only major problem is to find a sunbed at the pool or beach as SO many guests gets up very early in the morning to block sunbeds they might want to use later in the day.. the lack of hotel policy and total lack of actions to prevent this will prevent me from booking this hotel again.. ##### Henrik Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Yann Aug 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice garden and property, large swimming pools, and sunbeds available for all. Rooms are comfortable and nicely designed. The main buffet-restaurant has no charms and feels like a sort of high end canteen... The other restaurants (Mezze, Almyra) are nicer. The beach was a big disappointment, with lots of rocks in the water. We had very windy and wavy days, and it was simply impossible to get in the water on the main beach... The hotel is isolated from Malia. Not much to do around without a car. ##### Yann Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Blue Sky Apartments](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Blue-Sky-Apartments.h12802275.Hotel-Information) - [Room-Breath Taking Views Standard Apartm](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Korifi-Suites-Collection-Adults.h57527964.Hotel-Information) - [Elpida Apartments by Checkin](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Elpida-Apartments-By-Checkin.h14657450.Hotel-Information) - [Charm Hotel Hersonissos](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-CHARM-HOTEL-HERSONISSOS.h48283851.Hotel-Information) - [Zeus Hotels Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Hotel.h34368522.Hotel-Information) - [Hersonissos Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Hersonissos-Palace-All-Inclusive.h1097851.Hotel-Information) - [Niros Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Gouves-Hotels-Niros-Beach.h56289799.Hotel-Information) - [W Suites by Estia](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-W-Suites-By-Checkin.h24233616.Hotel-Information) - [Aspro Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Aspro-Hotel.h21057794.Hotel-Information) - [Amirandes, A Grecotel Resort to Live](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Amirandes-Grecotel-Boutique-Resort.h1862564.Hotel-Information) - [Dedalos Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Malia-Hotels-Malia-Dedalos-Hotel.h55400050.Hotel-Information) - [Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Stella-Island-Luxury-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h16508136.Hotel-Information) - [Anna Maria](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Anna-Maria.h31411796.Hotel-Information) - [Guest House steps from ocean...](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Guest-House-Steps-From-Ocean.h19513647.Hotel-Information) - [Nancy Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nancy-Hotel.h16433031.Hotel-Information) - [Arina Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Arina-Beach-In-Kokkini-Hani-Is-Ideal-For-Relax-Daily-City-Visits.h76454531.Hotel-Information) - [Manolis Apartments](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Manolis-Apartments.h9492397.Hotel-Information) - [Aristo](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Aristo.h19180941.Hotel-Information) - [Niros Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Niros-Beach.h83355897.Hotel-Information) - [Mika Villas & Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mika-Villas.h9353334.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Heraklion](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Heraklion.d6053601.Flight-Destinations) - [Heraklion Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Heraklion.d6053601.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Heraklion](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Heraklion.d6053601.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Heraklion Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Heraklion.d6053601.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Heraklion](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Heraklion.d6053601.Travel-Guide-Activities)
