Not sure how this hotel is still operational. Management and ownership invisible, poorly staffed and unqualified personnel to answer inquiries and requests. Avoid it"

"We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Old Town, surrounded by great restaurants and cafés, and just a short walk to the main strip. It’s close enough to enjoy all the fun, but far enough to escape the loud music at night, which was a huge plus. The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed. It was spacious, comfortable, and even had direct USB ports for charging our phones—super convenient! A special shoutout to “Yaya”...

Enjoy expansive views of the surrounding landscape from the large windows of this villa, surrounded by a well-maintained garden and tropical plants.

"First they gave the wrong address, the address that is given leads to the old town of Malia. When I arrived I called and had to wait 50 minutes, because the reception was opposite the house. In the room I had ants and a cockroach. You can hear every other guest talking and everything that happens outside. Is a renovated building but very poorly renovated. In the shower the wall was torn, on the ceiling there was mold."

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"The place for kids "

Mitsis Rinela

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property. Excellent swim up rooms and clean hotel with good selection of drinks. Our only honest criticism would be the quality of buffet food and range of Greek food which was lacking. The kids pool is substandard and not to the same quality as the pools and facilities elsewhere. Other than that, we had a lovely time and would still return. "

Marvel Deluxe Rooms

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and nice room. Convenient location if you want to be near the airport. You can definitely hear the airplanes overhead when they are using the runway that points toward this hotel, but the night we were at the hotel the airplane noise stopped at a reasonable time, did not start up again until morning, and did not impact our sleep. If I were planning on spending a lot of time in the room during the day or evening, the noise might have gotten annoying. "

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very well laid outand the staff were excellent. We had an issue with the room but as soon as we spoke to reception our room was changed. The only niggle (very small) was there no hotel information in the room so we did know for example when the hotel had a gala night."
