Le Palme
8.1 (24 reviews)

Le Palme ★★★

📍 Mattheou Zachariadi 77, Malia

"I am a big believer in you get what you pay for. If I could give stars for staff then Angela who runs the bar/cafe would get five 🌟 she is such a credit to the place and a lovely lady. She was so friendly and easy to talk to and her dinks/food was spot on! The bar area was exceptional clean also. Maria was also nice and helpful. The apartment we had was very spacious and adequately clean, ground floor so spacious terrace too. The bathroom was a big let down and needs a thorough make over as does the kitchenette area! With a little love and tlc these apartments could be so much better. The pool area was ok although the pools were very cold. The location is superb. Just to the right of the the apartments is the Street Bar and I would highly recommend this place. The food everywhere was delicious. If it’s beauty and luxury you want then please avoid booking but if you can close your eyes to a few things and want somewhere cheap to stay then this is the place. All in all we had a good weeks holiday and will definitely return to Malia (but will choose a different hotel/apartment to stay in.). We could list things that need immediate improvement but are not going to, like I said it was a cheap break, and you get what you pay for!"

"What can we say, from arrival to depart, Akis absolutely looked after us both. From check in, to recommendations of places to visit, restaurants and even offered run us to the airport if our taxi at 3am didn't turn up! The hotel is lovely, clean, and with beautiful gardens, let photos speak for self. Location is perfect, no noise even though close to strip. Peaceful around pool. We had a lovely stay for the week, with Akis and family making us very welcome. Thank you!"

Villa Mare Monte ApartHotel ★★★★

📍 Kondilaki, Malia

"Of the three hotels I stayed in during my week in Crete, this one was the quietest, perhaps because it's not near the center and there aren't many young people. The room was nice, but I was unlucky with the location. My balcony was right above the stairs. I couldn't eat in peace because people were constantly coming and going from their rooms. It felt like I was living in an outdoor café. Overall, I felt like I lacked privacy, and because of the room's location, I could hear everyone using the stairs. I think the rooms facing the other side are quieter. The hotel grounds are beautiful! Surrounded by mountains where ibexes stroll peacefully. Internet and air conditioning are completely free, unlike other hotels in Crete. Incidentally, many hotel owners in Crete don't list paid air conditioning, safes, and internet on hotel booking websites. Here, all these services are free. The bed and pillows are simply superb, for which a special thanks to the hotel management. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking! There's even a sponge, dish soap, and a tea towel, which is rare not only in Crete but also in other parts of Greece. Thank you very much for that! Overall, it's a great hotel! I recommend it to anyone looking for peace and quiet, solitude, and a sense of nature!"

"Amazing! If you want the best possible experience, I highly recommend taking the beachfront suite. It’s the perfect way to fully enjoy your vacation. The service is amazing, the food is very good, and the cocktails and drinks are excellent. A special thank you to the entire staff — everyone is so polite, friendly, and attentive. They truly take great care of you and make you feel special throughout your stay. A special mention to Didi and Maria, who gave us an amazing massage experience. My wife has never felt so relaxed! We also had the chance to dine at Veranda. Sadly, I forgot the name of our host, but we had such a lovely conversation throughout our dinner, and he took very good care of us. It really made the evening even more special. Absolutely amazing vacation! I have a feeling I’ll be coming back here again. Highly recommended! PS! Swim from the beach to the church on the little island. It’s worth the swim!"

High Beach White - Adults Only Hotels in Malia

High Beach White - Adults Only

"The "High Beach White" is an adults-only resort—a place for guests who prefer a quieter atmosphere. We had a room with a private pool. The beds and mattresses were incredibly comfortable. I've never slept so well on vacation. It was heavenly. The resort is very clean, and they make sure it stays that way. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. Sun loungers and parasols are assigned to specific room numbers. The food at the High Beach Buffet Restaurant is varied—there's something for everyone. The "Elia Restaurant" also offers à la carte dining. Brunch is served at 10:30, followed by a three-course menu or snacks from 12:00, and a five-course menu from 18:30 (table reservations required the day before). Absolutely delicious! For guests with UAI (All Inclusive) at the resort, snacks and refreshments are even delivered to their sun loungers. Absolutely fantastic! The evening program features concerts (traditional Greek music), DJs, and dance groups (traditional Cretan dances). If you're looking for relaxation with a touch of luxury, then the "High Beach White" is a must-visit in Malia. It's the place to be! We had a wonderful 14 days and lacked for nothing. A huge thank you to all the staff. Every single one contributed to making our holiday a dream come true."

Koni Village Hotel Hotels in Malia

Koni Village Hotel

"A welcoming and friendly hotel. Between us (of which there was 13) we had a variety of rooms all of which were sea facing, large balcony, pleasant with sufficient hanging space and drawers. Fridge, safe (payable at reception) and hairdryer in the room. The floors were cleaned, beds made and towels changed regularly. Our shower screen was small, so water did spill over the bathroom floor making it wet but others had a large screen and no issues. Air conditioner worked fantastic and kept us super cool our whole stay. There are two pools one is lovely large pool with steps to enter which could do with some grip on them as we witnessed many people slipping on entering the pool so be warned hold on to the rail! There were plenty of beds at anytime of the day. The other pool is smaller and quieter also with beds available. There is one bar but it is never too crowded, the snacks are available here too. The restaurant is opposite serving mainly Greek foods, amazing variety of soups, salads, cooked meats/fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, chips slight variations each day for lunch/dinner. If you are looking for English fast food this is not for you! We heard a few people complaining about the food which was a shame as even our fussiest child managed to find something to eat! Breakfast plenty of eggs available fried, scrambled, hard boiled. Toast, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, meats/cheeses etc. bacon, beans mushrooms and sausage. The hotel is hilly, if you are in the higher rooms at the top of the complex but the big pool, bar and restaurant are on one level. It is a good 10min walk to the beach via the underpass"

"Very pleasant hotel, friendly staff at your service. Possibility of renting a car for the day to visit the Island, essential because the hotel is quite far from the center and the beach and during high heat it is very complicated to walk under 36 degrees and on the way back it goes up lol. Hotel valid for a vacation to do nothing."

"The hotel itself was in a quiet area but still only 5 minute walk to shops, bars restaurants of which there were plenty. Lovely pool area at the hotel and also at the beach bar. The restaurant in town (part of the hotel) was also very good. All staff in all 3 locations were very good. Efficient, friendly and happy to help. Our only negative I suppose was just how busy the beach was with sunbeds crammed in. And also the town of Malia was a little toooo lively for us - if that's what you want, great. If you prefer a quieter village/town with one or two tavernas and restaurants, then this may not be for you."

Le Palme ★★★
"Great location but that is about all. Our room was like a prison cell, shower area was disgusting! And you would be very lucky if you had a hot shower in the morning also you could only use shower as hand held as no bracket! Stayed 11 days and only had 2 hot showers in all that time! Did complain but was told that because it was cloudy the day before the water tanks hadn't warmed the water HUH!! What an excuse. No wifi unless you sit by the pool Go cheap you certainly get what you pay for"

"Room with Jacuzzi not to be missed, modern and refined decoration, spacious room. Terrace with Jacuzzi and sea view (attention building under construction to take into account even if it does not obstruct the view). Impeccable cleanliness, very friendly common place, always free deckchairs. Small restaurant with low prices and open all day. All this not far from the hustle and bustle of Malia. Honestly excellent value for money."

Creta Verano Hotel ★★★
"Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The hotel only met the absolute minimum standards, and I certainly wouldn’t choose to stay here again. The biggest issue was the manager, who was extremely disrespectful during every interaction we had. On our first arrival, while discussing our room allocation, we were shockingly referred to as “stupid UK people.” This was completely unacceptable, unprofessional, and made us feel unwelcome from the start. The only positive aspect of our stay was the cleaning staff. They were polite, friendly, and did a good job keeping the rooms clean, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the beds were also very uncomfortable, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. Overall, between the rude management, uncomfortable beds, and poor customer service, this was a bad experience. The hardworking cleaning staff deserve credit, but they couldn’t make up for the way we were treated by management."

"Golden Bay is a very nive place to stay. It is very quiet and not crowdy. Also Malia is nice little town. It is close to the sea (about 500 meters). And Akis (hotel manager) is a very nice person who can give you nice tips and helping if you need."

Notos Heights Hotel & Suites ★★★★
"Not well managed, we arrived to find our hotel room booked and were advised they had booked us in somewhere nearby. The replacement room was an 18-30s hotel which is not what we signed up for being over this age and made for an uncomfortable first night. Staff became increasingly rude when we were not happy with is and ignored the problem for the rest of the trip. Clearly a hotel double booking rooms and trying to fob off the English tourists (comment about us just going to get drunk were made, when we were there for a relaxing break) We were not the only British tourists that this had happened too, others had been fobbed off and treated the same way. We were also advised when booking that the hotel had a free shuttle, this isn't the case and we were asked to pay. The breakfast was nice, rooms clean and a good pool but I'd go elsewhere to save yourself the trouble."

Villa Mare Monte ApartHotel ★★★★
"This aparthotel is ideal for people seeking a quiet place to stay away from the busy resort of Malia. It is situated on a hillside with views of the distant sea. Our room provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the delicious home cooked 3 course evening meals and breakfast buffet. This family run hotel is in excellent condition with a lovely swimming pool and outdoor games area. The walk into Malia town takes about 20 minutes and we learnt to avoid the strenuous walk back up the hill by taking a back road with more gentle slopes. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and well looked after."
