The main restaurant food was very very good with varieties each day. The hotel grounds was beautiful with its own natural herbs gardens! Good children play area too. The nearby shops and supermarkets was very handy. However, we do believe that this hotel could easily become a 5 star rating if the management looks into the styling and general fixtures, decor and furniture of the bedrooms which although Greek style seemed very basic! On a whole it was very good value for money and we had a lovely 8 day stay and a very memorable stay for our first time in Crete. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Wim 25 Jul 2018 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Locatie is perfect maar dat is het dan ook. In Malia is het niet eenvoudig een hotel aan het strand te vinden. Dessole Malia Beach is dan een optie. De ligging is prima!. De gasten zijn 80% Russisch. De gebouwen zijn oud en moeten dringend opgefrist worden. Je moet 3 dagen met de handdoeken doen. Zowel in de kamer als voor het zwembad. Het eten is iedere dag hetzelfde. Op zich goed van kwaliteit maar na een paar dagen gaat het wel vervelen. Animatie is goed! Italiaans team maar ze doen er echt alles aan om de mensen te vermaken. Water in de kamer is er niet en dus mag je naar de supermarkt om flesjes water te kopen en dat met een All inclusive formule. Raar..... Personeel lacht bijna niet. Hoe moeilijk is het om de gasten het naar de zin te maken? Natuurlijk zijn er positieve uitzonderingen. Al met al: Veel te duur voor het arrangement wat geboden wordt. Geen sprake van een 4 sterren ervaring ! Eerder 2,5. ##### Wim Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 15 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très bon séjour Très bon rapport qualité prix, beau hôtel, rien à redire. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Юлия 14 May 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Советуем посетить. Отель находится на побережье.Уютное ,красивое место.Радушный персонал.С удовольствием побываем еще раз. ##### Юлия Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 23 Aug 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort L'aria condizionata nelle camere è troppo scarsa e quando fa caldo non riesce a raffreddare... Ed eravamo al 3 e ultimo piano con la vista mare dunque davanti la piscina dove dovrebbe tirare più vento rispetto alle camere all'interno! ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Piero 25 Aug 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Una bellissima settimana Abbiamo soggiornato splendidamente in questo albergo che nonostante le 700 presenze non ha mai dato la sensazione di affollamento. In spiaggia ed in piscina c'erano sempre lettini e ombrelloni disponibili. Ottimo e molto vario il menù del ristorante. Squisito il personale. ##### Piero Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Сергей 28 Jul 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Неплохой семейный отель Отель неплохой. Расположение хорошее, если не считать бешенных английских тинейджеров поблизости. ##### Сергей Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Daniel 8 Jul 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Assez bonne, dommage que la plus part des renseignements pour les clients sont en russe. ##### Daniel Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie 11 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Sophie Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Walid 22 Aug 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Walid Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### A G 11 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### A G Stayed 4 nights in May 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Jun 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2017 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > -
