Malia Holidays from £608

This is an older hotel that has been updated. Rooms are small, but well appointed and clean. To get a water view you need to be on a higher floor and pay more for an upgraded room. Given that there are no screens on the patio doors (and I assume windows in other rooms), we had to run the AC which smelled musty. The staff at check in were very pleasant - and the breakfast box they offered us (as we had to check out for an early flight before the restaurant was open for breakfast) was a lovely touch. The front desk staff also organized a taxi to the airport for us. I think this is a good hotel option for shorter stays. There is a great deal of building/renovation going on around the hotel at present - so there is a lot of dust. Certainly not the fault of the hotel.

We loved this resort and will definitely be back there next year. Staff were so friendly and delightful.

Pone, was incredible. An easy park if your drive in, to staff that welcomed you with a refreshing drink on arrival, once checked in we are given beautiful bracelets as a gift, welcome snacks and desserts, of course a local bottle of wine. Our room was exquisite with a gorgeous relaxing private pool, the spa, was so relaxing, as we opted to do the most minimal as we had a time crunch. But still left having the best experience, zero gravity massage, hyperbolic oxygen machine, sauna, steam, salt room, and an incredible contrast therapy water shower. A MUST when in Heraklion, if you have the time stay here before you take a ferry to Santorini, it’s an easy 7 Min ride to the ferry.

Fantastic resort and great service. The adult areas( pools) would be better situated away from the family areas
