“lacking privacy and common sense”
I was thinking for a long time wether to rate or not but decided to do so. It was almost mid-September when we stayed here during our honeymoon for two nights. I specifically informed the property that this is our honeymoon trip. The good thing was that there were a normal duvet, we liked that a lot.

Mara and Manos are the perfect hosts who are open for any questions and respect privacy at the same time. The villa is well equipped, has a luxury interior and is spotlessly clean. The pool is heated and you can relax on the comfy day beds. We would absolutely recommend this place! Thank you again :)

“Gorgeous suites and amazing hosts”
These suites are absolutely stunning and even better than the pictures online. Everything was absolutely perfect. The attention to detail and design of the properties is fantastic, they are beautiful inside and out. The hosts Manos and Mara are amazing and cannot do enough for you. Thank you so much for your hospitality and for the lovely wine and welcome basket. You made us feel so welcome and thank you for the restaurant and bar recommendations. The properties are walking distance to Stalis and Malia and old town Malia is so beautiful. We would definitely recommend Beachcomber for a nice cocktail in Stalis and Avli Restaurant and Giannis bar in Old Town Malia. We will definitely be back to these beautiful suites

I recently stayed at an amazing apartment and I can't recommend it highly enough—definitely a 10/10 experience! The apartment itself was incredibly spacious, with modern and stylish decor that made the whole place feel luxurious. The building was beautiful, which added to the overall charm of the stay. One of the highlights was the pool—perfect for a refreshing swim any time of day. The beds were super comfortable, with high-quality mattresses that ensured a great night's sleep every night. Another big plus was the convenience of having a parking spot right at the building, which made coming and going hassle-free. The host, Manos, was extremely helpful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a place that combines luxury, comfort, and convenience, this apartment is an excellent choice!

“What a wonderful place!”
Reviews isn't my thing but in this case I have to give some serious credit to the owners. Everything was at the highest level of quality and aesthetics. The choice of materials and decoration is excellent. The location combines privacy and proximity to everything one needs on vacation. Even the wall in the pool area was a perfect screen for our portable projector 🏀😂 The communication with the hosts was perfect and they responded immediately to whatever we asked for. Manos is a great professional who showed genuine interest in our needs. Πολλά μπράβο!

+ Beautifully styled house and interior that instantly made us feel at home. We absolutely loved every second of our stay in AKU Suites! It was perfect. + Both Manos and Mara are one of the most attentive and welcoming hosts we ever came across in our travels. + Apparently, Malia is known for being a ‘party city’ in summer time, but the houses are far enough away from the street with all the bars and clubs that they won’t bother you, I guess. We visited in April so everything was still closed, which was perfect. + Malia old town is just a 5 minute walk away

“Excellent hosts (really the best!) and modern accommodation”
We travel to the Greek Islands a lot and are always impressed with the warm hospitality, so we were naturally expecting a warm welcome which was, indeed, received. This trip completely exceeded our expectations however, and if there are more accommodating and friendly hosts than Mara and Manos then I would be very intrigued to meet them! From our first connection right until the moment we left, they were very responsive, friendly and informative and couldn't do enough to help us. From booking a fantastic restaurant on our wedding anniversary, to a lovely welcome basket on arrival and even a surprise breakfast treat on our patio on one morning, right to accommodating us for a very late check out, they were absolute stars from beginning to end! Thank you to you both for making our first wedding anniversary one to remember! The accommodation was spotless, the beds very comfortable and all of the furniture and devices etc very modern. The outdoor space also very nice. You're a short walk away from restaurants, bars, and nightlife however far enough away to be quiet at night (all I could hear was the peaceful sound of the crickets!)

We had a wonderfull vacation at AKU Suites. 😊👌 The house is modern and very nicelly decorated. Everything works perfectly and the pool area is clean and lived up to our expectations. Everything was just perfect but not the best thing about AKU Suites!! The best thing about AKU Suites is the owners. Mara and Manos are the most nice, caring, service minded and lovely hosts you will ever get.!! They did everything to make our vaccations unforgettable and helped us with everything from car rental, excursions and gave us recommendations on places and restaurant to visit. We can without a doubt give AKU Suites and especially Mara and Manos the best recommandations ever!!
