Top Malia Historic Hotels

Malia Bay Beach Hotel & Bungalows

4.0 star property
7.4 out of 10, Good, (14)
"Lovely food and plenty of options - easy parking and Malia town was lovely- all inclusive drinks were good quality - can pay extra for more expensive options . It’s was very tidy but room cleaning is sparodic . We had a superior swim up room which was very nice but would choose a room further away from the pool bar next time and we had very noisy neighbours ( not the hotels fault- but couldn’t change rooms so lack of sleep ruined it a little for us) Would definitely go back"

"This property is located just about 15 minutes walk from downtown. Property is surrounded by nice gardens and olive trees. The most disappointing was stuff, specifically, front desk and owners who run this property. I been traveling frequently, but never in my life I been experiencing that level of unprofessionalism. The front desk check in personal, was a owner too, extremely arrogant, rude, disrespectful The service we as a family received, makes me never ever wanting to visit this...

Pyrgos Beach Hotel Apartments

9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (53)
"Can’t fault our stay, Dimitris and staff were really accommodating for our late arrival and then again for our late flight, allowing us to leave our bags at the hotel. Rooms were really nice and modern and beds were always made for us. The huge balcony with the hot tub was an added bonus. Location is good, around 10-15 mins walk to the strip and 20 to the old town. and the beach is just a few metres away. The pool and Bar facilities were great too. I’d definitely return "
