“We stayed in tho bedroom apartment and we thoroughly enjoyed it.”
Really nice and clean apartment. We found it more beautiful and cleaner on actual than what it looks on booking.com. The owners definitely need to update the pictures as it really stunning. The street next to it is quite lively and there are a lot of nice restaurants close by. Highly highly recommended.

“Neat tiddy and clean.”
Every consideration was given to our requirements and requests to ensure we enjoyed a comfortable and quiet stay in a newly refurbished room. Sofia was a 'hands on' host always available if required. We slept well in a comfortable bed and the bathroom was tastefully tiled with walk-in shower.

“Excellent stay, friendly staff”
The room was clean, the staff were lovely, the shower was hot, the little kitchen in the room was surprisingly well equipped, could see and hear the sea from our balcony. Lovely hotel, I have stayed here twice now as I was so happy the first time. Good places to eat nearby, especially Mike Hotel.

“Wonderful apartments in lovely quiet Maleme”
Excellent apartments, very clean and modern and extremely comfy beds. Lovely pool area and most days we were the only people at the pool. Immediately behind the excellent Wave restaurant and loads of other restaurants nearby. About 50 yards from the rocky beach. 5-10 mins walk away from bus stop to Chania town which took about 40 mins. Initially we thought Maleme might be too quiet but having seen the other resorts on the way to Chania, we made the right decision. The staff were excellent and Sophia checked with the airport and then booked me a taxi to the lost property office when I realised I had left my glasses on the plane.

A very nice place to relax and enjoy Crete. We love it because it is situated in a quiet area. At any time of the day, you can hear the waves from the balcony. The staff is very friendly, and we received excellent service. The room was cleaned every day, and fresh towels were provided every second day. Even though we did not use it, the pool looked very nice and was cleaned every evening.

“A peaceful, modern retreat in a quiet location with friendly staff and great beach access. Sophia made it extra special.”
The property was modern, clean, and located in a quiet area, perfect for relaxation. The garden area was beautiful and well-kept, ideal for a morning dip in the pool or an evening wind-down. It’s just a short walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and responsive, and Sophia was absolutely amazing: warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay.

Very friendly and helpful host. Great location, across the road from beach. Shops and restaurants close by. Lovely, spacious, clean accommodation. Sea view from balcony. Fantastic place to stay or to use as a base to explore Chania area of Crete (excellent bus service) Everyone we met in Maleme and other towns such as Chania was exceptionally nice.
