    Amazing stay, good quality and very clean

    rating01 Sept 2025

    Loved this hotel, definately is more stars than its given on many sites. Family run apartments, clean rooms, beautiful restaurant, bar and pool area - probably the cleanest pool I have ever seen. Great location close enough to everything including the strip (which was used by our 18 year olds) but not close enough to hear any noise. The staff were super helpful and work extremely hard to maintain. I would definately use these apartments again when we return to Malia. The staff were quick to help if someone needed something - eg I didnt have a kettle in my room so asked at reception and it was there by the time we got back. The apartments are modern and comfortable which comfortable beds, bedding and pillows (something you dont always find in apartments) We will definately be returning, if anyone has anything to complain about I would question what they are expecting on holiday for the price paid - this was outstanding in my opinion. Thank you to all the staff - we had room 127 on the ground floor outside the bar area - please excuse the clothes in the photos. This was a superior room for 3 people (all adults and very spacious)

    Ideal location and great value for money.

    rating25 Jul 2024

    Great location near the strip and beach. Staff really helpful and modern facilities are excellent for the price you pay! Perfect for different types of trips to Malia due to location. Great pool facilities and bar area for food and drinks all day long, highly recommend for a long stay in the area.

    Worth a visit

    rating25 Jun 2024

    Lovely grounds once on the place and very close to beech. Lovely staff and rooms were fine. Breakfast was lots of eggs so be prepared for that. It just got a bit more of the same but we made the most of it. We went here just to get some sun for 2 weeks but probably won't go back to Malia. But I stress the complext was fine. Lovely pool

    Nice hotel but some staff rather rude

    rating17 Jun 2024

    Stayed 4 nights in the Stelios Gardens, had a couple of friends staying there too but booked my own room. Had a brilliant holiday and Malia is a nice resort. Was going to give the hotel a good 4/5 review but a couple of things let it down.Nice friendly welcome by the entertainments team and man working on reception (the owner's son apparently) who was very helpful. Had to pay for air con which was a surprise as Loveholidays didn't tell me that, and at €34 for 4 nights it's robbery! Air con didn't work first night so the man on reception came round to have a go at fixing it. Couldn't get it working so went without on the first night - very hot in the room but got €9 back.Hotel itself is very good for the price, seems like all rooms have been renovated (basic but passable), the staff are constantly cleaning the place and looking after it. The pool area is immaculate with a nice restaurant/bar area (can't comment on the food as didn't eat there).Unfortunately a couple of things let it down. Firstly, after a few drinks one evening I wanted to sit on my terrace with a friend who wasn't staying there - security said no. Now this really annoyed me as I am 35 and always respectful when I go on holiday. I have paid for my room and I expect to be able to have a quiet drink with a friend at the end of the night (never had this problem anywhere else).But what really annoyed me was when I left the hotel I went to check out and the woman just asked me "what room?" and "have you paid for everything?" No "how was your stay?/did you have a nice holiday?" - Not the sort of rudeness you expect as a paying guest. I feel that as a younger guest at the hotel some of the staff seemed annoyed that I was staying there.I will be back in Malia but next time I will spend a bit more money and stay somewhere with better customer service.
