“Amazing, attentive staff and a lovely location.”
The staff were incredible, we came as a group of 5 girls and were treated fabulously and felt safe at night due to security. The hotel is in a great location, so close to the beach and loads of bars and restaurants. Hotel bar was amazing, the cocktails were great prices and delicious. Thank you to all the staff for making our trip amazing!

“Room is like in the picture, Maria și lovely- available and ready to help at any time, plenty of shops and restaurants,”
The room is exactly like in pictures from website. The host is very kind, ready to help at any time. Transport from and to airport is available for 50- 60€. Hotel is close to restaurants, ATM’s and the groceries shop is across the street where you have a variety of products. 5 minutes walking till beach. Pool is also available ( with no extra fee but is across the street). The beach is lovely (gold sand, clear and warm water with sun beds available and a restaurant on the beach with drinks available) The location is very good and the room furniture is very comfortable. The room was very clean with clean towels available and cleaning service available daily. ATV’s / scooters are available to rent for trips in Malia. Maria and her husband are lovely people ready to help at any point of time and they are all the time available .
