Hotels near Alternative Crete

"Room was spotless and the host was the loveliest woman ever "

"Such a great little hotel....the staff could not be any more kind. So much walkable. Great beach and food and drink below, and great hiking trail that goes right behind hotel. VERY clean. Would come back in a heartbeat. A perfect stay. Truly exceptional. "

"Another pleasant stay, though the room we had overlooked the road so it was noisy, and other guests were also noisy. "

"Set back on the main road the beach is about 8/10 minute walk. There’s a bakery 2 minutes away and more shops 3/4 minutes. The kitchen area has a microwave, grill and 2 ring cooker, utensils and crockery. The room is a decent size with TV and hair dryer, the bathroom is small but adequate. Cleaned daily with fresh towels, bed linen changed twice in week. The area around the building has various fruit trees and very clean, the pool gets the sun all day with comfortable loungers and is cleaned every evening. Regarding disability, the apartments are very accessible, with helpful staff always available. There’s a secure pagoda with plugs for charging mobility aids eg: scooter or wheelchair. Perfect holiday apartments well situated to enjoy your holiday with bus stops outside and short a walking distance (5mins) to the first of many excellent restaurants and bars in the resort. "

"Stayed as a family of 4 for 9 days in mid August 2025, 2 adults and 2 children. Positives: Remote hill top location in Old Town Malia (10/10). Villas with private 10m to 15m length pools (10/10). Overall the teams were very helpful and did their best to support. Amazing views of Malia from your balcony from the hill top location (10/10). Notable mentions; Alexia at the front desk, New lady in the restaurant from Romania, Male supervisor / manager who helped us after we got locked out of the villa with 2 keys at night. Private pool chemical level being checked. Met the new owner at dinner whilst the teams were stressfully trying to work out our bill for a new menu and he said he his aware of what they need to improve on and service is not were he wants it to be. Negatives: Attention to detail I.e. 1 bed was missing its top cover for the first 3 nights. Very easy to lock yourself out of the villa because of the safety feature on the doors. Service in the restaurant needs to be improved / missed opportunity from the hotel due to isolated location. Catering options are very limited / Menu cards are confusing / Not clear what you have ordered and what you are paying for. Nightly disturbances from staffing quarters into the early morning (stayed in villa 407). No locks on the bathroom or toilet doors. Hot water in the tap & shower is extremely boiling hot. Toilet / Shower room on the lower floor in the 2 bedroom villas should have a solid divider as water gets everywhere."

"En plus d'un logement parfait (spacieux, magnifique vue, bien équipé, literie très confortable et bien propre), nous avons été très bien accueillis, les hôtes sont adorables. Merci pour ce séjour, nous recommandons à 100%"
