Top Máleme Beach Hotel Reviews

Villa Stratianna - Villa close to the seaside with private pool in Crete

10/10 Excellent

"Pobyt w tym miejscu był świetny. Bardzo blisko sklepy, restauracje, plaża. Miejsce w spokojnej okolicy, a autem można szybko przemieścić się do wszystkich atrakcji na wyspie. Gospodarze byli bardzo mili i komunikatywni. Jeśli będziemy jeszcze kiedyś na Krecie to z ogromną przyjemnością wrócimy do tego miejsce. Niezapomniane wakacje."

★ Luxurious stone villa, totally private pool, peaceful, near sea, WiFi, parking

10/10 Excellent

"What a great property with such friendly hosts. This house was great for our family of 7 traveling together. The outdoor section was so nice with the pool and swinging chairs and upstairs sundeck. A car is very handy to see all the close by towns and sites."

Resitour - Chania Aphrodite Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Manos is amazing, he is super attentive to guest and went out of his way to get us a wine bottle opener and a coffee machine. It was later in the season when we travelled to the mattress/bed and sofa were in need of a good cleaning, the cleaners had in the meantime covered it with linens but there was still a odor from the furniture which Manos tried to aid with by getting new linens and pillows. I would say one opportunity for the space is to ensure that the rooms are fully stocked with the basics like bottle opener, coffee maker, teas/coffee etc as it is a more remote location so people will need to drive to go get food or will use the kitchen that is there. It is definitely a more peaceful beach location and is lovely to walk along the beach to the nearby hotels and their restaurant's."

Daphnis Villas, 4 Villas , Sleep 24, Heated Pool, 200m From The Beach, Sea View

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful holiday destination for a large group. Perfect, as we each had our own identical villas, and the pool is a really great size. We loved the outdoor eating area with the bbq, and had many fun evenings enjoying the beautiful surroundings with our friends. The villas are situated in a lovely quiet area, and only a short walk to two lovely restaurants over looking the beach. There are also a couple of supermarkets, coffee places and bakeries with the best doughnuts! Just an 8 min drive away is a busier town with lots of shops and restaurants, so plenty to do in the area, but would recommend a car. Very glad we stayed for 2 weeks, as there was so much to do. Lots of lovely beaches, a great water park, historic sites, and we hired boats and went snorkelling. We loved Crete, and Maria and her husband could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend."

Castro Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Quiet location, helpful staff at the kitchen, good variety for the all inclusive food -quality was ok. Rooms were quite good actually. No complains overall, I could have stayed longer!! On the chill side, not on the party side"

Maleme Mare Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is immaculately maintained, with beautiful, well-kept grounds that create a lovely first impression. Housekeeping was excellent throughout our stay, and our room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The majority of guests appeared to be over 60, along with a few couples travelling with very young children, mainly from Eastern Europe. There were very few UK visitors during our stay. I travelled with my two teenagers (17 and 18) during the May half-term holiday, and they were a little disappointed that there was no one in their age group to socialise with. If you’re interested in boating or water sports, you’ll likely find plenty to enjoy. However, as my teens are non-swimmers and not particularly interested in water-based activities, we found there was less to do on-site. That said, the hotel provided information on local excursions and activities, which proved invaluable. We particularly enjoyed Pista Go Karting, which had excellent facilities and high-quality karts. We also took a Segway tour of Chania, which was both fun and informative from a historical perspective. One of my teenagers even went paragliding and was told it was the first time a hotel guest had ever requested it! Given the hotel’s typical clientele, that wasn’t entirely surprising. Most of the staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. Special mention must go to Stavros and Elena, who were an absolute mine of information and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed"
