I’ve stayed here many times & love everything about this place. Family run apartments located a short walk from nearest beach. A large pool & a splash pool for the kids set in green grassed garden furnished with sunbeds / umbrellas. The rooms are well maintained & housekeeping is amazing. There is a fabulous restaurant (Elia food & drink) serving from breakfast till late, a comprehensive menu suiting all tastes. The family & staff are all great & go above and beyond to make your stay a wonderful experience.

Lovely family run appartments that are located right on the beach road. There is a large pool & children’s splash pool set in beautifully maintained gardens. The rooms vary in size from twins to family rooms & are on 3 levels (lift access is available). Housekeeping operates to a very high standard with towels and bedding changed regularly. Rooms have Kitchenette, en-suite bathroom & balcony. A/C & safe are extra charge. This property also has a fabulous Elia food & drink restaurant (opens 8am) serving all types of dishes & drinks.

2 families on a 2 week holiday with teenagers.
First impression was lovely. Arrived 1am to a roasting hot room. Air con was extra -7euros a night ! Was not aware of extra charges and it didn’t work that well, it took 3 hours to cool the room enough to sleep. Key operates the room so when you are out no air con, no electric. Room was lovely and big We had a superior room with sea view. Self catering was very basic the kitchen has 4 of everything. No Tin opener, no toaster, no microwave. Just 2 rings to cook on and a kettle along with a few saucepans. No complimentary toiletries sachets,no soap to wash your hands. A few little extras would of been nice.Towels and bedding were changed regularly and bins emptied daily. Restaurant served lovely food and staff friendly. Booked a table for 8 people for my sons birthday. They provided a birthday cake and balloons free of charge and we had a lovely evening. Location is perfect. Walk out the back of property to beach - lots of water sports. Nice pool area, no fights for sun beds. A lovely walk to shops bars and restaurants. Its about a mile into Malia in opposite direction. Despite the few negatives. I would definitely stay there again. I know what to expect.

Fantastic location, right on the beach road where you will find everything you need. Shops, bars, restaurants are plentiful. The hotels own restaurant (Elia) is superb. Breakfast and lighter meals are available 8am-5pm. Then till midnight serving food prepared by a great chef. Access to a beach is via the hotels beautiful garden. The pool is large and sun loungers are always available. Rooms are very clean and property in maintained to good standard. There is a lift to levels 2 & 3 so no lugging cases. Air conditioning works very well (extra charge). This family run hotel has a very relaxed atmosphere and is complemented by its hard working staff.

Restaurangen var riktigt bra, poolen var också toppen. Nära till stranden var också bra. Lite tråkigt att det var väldigt blåsigt och röd flagg jämt men de är ju inte hotellets fel. Rummen var okej, hade önskat lite mer förvaringsutrymmen och trist att man behövde betala extra för ac om man bokar via hotels. Köket var inte vad vi har vana vid när de kommer till lägenhetshotell då glasen var gamla urtvättade nutella-muggar och fanns väldigt lite av allt - fyra gafflar, fyra knivar, fyra tallrikar osv. Var knappt möjligt att äta på rummet så köket var näst intill onödigt. Annars fint beläget hotell med närhet till allt och väldigt tyst, så man blev inte störd på nättarna.
