"The staff are absolutely amazing, every experience we have had was professional, helpful and they are always so kind! The room was always cleaned, thankfully because sand followed us everywhere! The view was absolutely beautiful!"

"The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Everything worked well and house keeping was very fast to deliver wash cloths. The included breakfast was excellent. The entire staff were helpful, pleasent and overall great. A very good value for the price and location."

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property, felt very high end but still authentic. The staff is very nice and ready to help. The room was comfy and always beach/pool sunbeds available. The breakfast is amazing 10/10 we looked forward to it every day. The onsite reasturants and drinks were over priced for what you got (but the dinner buffet also 10/10 at 45 euros per person). If you are travelling with a baby they have lots of high chairs at all eating places. The only thing I would say is the pool is deep (for kid swimming) and also if you are not travelling with kids this place is packed with young families (great for us, but if I was on a romantic getaway I would choose adult only resort), the town of Malia is walkable about 25 mins - only 5 min drive. But the town is geared to young clubbers and strip joints… BUT the “old town” is cute and small and has good restaurants, so I would just go into old town to dine out. The beach is nice but more rustic/with large rocks. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend."
