Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, schöne und saubere Unterkunft (wie auf den Fotos), zentrale Lage, grosser Parkplatz (kostenfrei), gutes WIFI, schöne Poolanlage, im einigen Gehminuten am Strand, leckeres und grosszügiges Frühstücksbuffet….wie waren sehr zufrieden. Betten waren für mein Empfinden etwas hart.

superbe séjour en famille

Pros: L'accueil !!!!!!!!!!!!!! L'emplacement de l'hôtel (5 mn de la plage à pied) et la superbe piscine avec vue sur les montagnes
Accueil extrêmement chaleureux. Établissement très agréable, propre, soigné, au calme. Nous avons adoré notre chambre avec terrasse donnant sur la piscine. La piscine est magnifique. Le personnel est charmant, mention particulière à la réception. Un immense merci pour l'accueil qui nous a fait nous sentir bien. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir

4 out of 5

personnel très sympathique, bel hôtel au calme

Pros: la situation, l'accueil, la piscine
Cons: le petit-déjeuner pourrait commencer plus tôt ainsi que l'ouverture de la piscine
Location: Water sports à 10 min à pied, bars et discothèques au centre de Malia (15-20min) et petits restaurants et marchés direction Stalis.
Personnel très sympathique, bel hôtel au calme et à 5-10 min à pied de la plage. Petit hôtel ayant des chambres avec cuisine pouvant être pratique pour des familles qui ne désirent pas toujours se rendre au restaurant. Il y a toujours des transats et parasols disponibles au bord de la piscine et le bar propose une carte plutôt variée de bonnes choses à manger.

Really good

Erittäin hyvä hinta/laatu suhde. Lähellä rantaa, kauppoja ja ravintoloita, mutta pääkadun melu ei kuulu hotellille. Henkilökunta todella ystävällistä. Siistiä, aamupala monipuolinen hedelmineen. Huoneet suuria, meillä oli perhehuone, 3 huonetta joissa kahdessa keittomahdollisuus. Huoneistossa myös kaksi parveketta, kaksi suihkua ja wc:tä. Ilmainen kyyditys kentälle ja takaisin kuului hintaan.
