And most importantly, a safe-20 euros for 10 days of stay. And this is 4 stars. In the bathroom all the time, small cockroaches run in the morning. Cheaper by 20-25 euros. And they are designed for the whole day.

Malia Bay Hotel immediately captivated me with its location and surroundings. Right on the seafront, away from the noise of the city, there are only a few other small hotels and fields nearby. From Malia, 1.5-2 kilometers, along the way there are shops where almost everyone speaks Russian (many people who have moved from Russia and Ukraine).

Malia Bay Hotel immediately captivated me with its location and surroundings. Right on the seafront, away from the noise of the city, there are only a few other small hotels and fields nearby. From Malia, 1.5-2 kilometers, along the way there are shops where almost everyone speaks Russian (many people who have moved from Russia and Ukraine). The area is quite picturesque - high mountains, palm trees, many flowers. The best thing in Crete is to rent a car and drive around, explore every corner of the island, it is very beautiful. The hotel was quiet (we rested in the tenth of May), there were still a few people, and, accordingly, not enough entertainment - gymnastics in the pool, games on the beach, photographers. A piece of the beach belongs to the hotel, but it is better not to swim there - a hard bottom, lava deposits, sea urchins. In order to swim, you can go about 200 meters to the east, and there will be a wonderful sandy cove. The hotel itself has three swimming pools, including for kids, during the day there is a bar by the pool. The food is very good, there is plenty to choose from, everything is fresh and tasty. If you are going on an excursion, you can order a lunch box in the restaurant the day before, pick it up in the morning. We were each given a huge sandwich, a couple of large apples, and water. The room is small, clean, we got a balcony on the corner, from which you can see both the road and the sea. The staff is very friendly, everyone is immediately remembered and called by name, quite nice. They always smile and generally contribute to a pleasant stay with their carelessness, despite all these crises.

Rested with my husband in October 2010. I liked it very much. We lived in a separate one-story building, a standard room with traditional Greek wooden furniture. People who write: "Terrible green cabinets! " - they just don’t know the history of Crete. This is an ethnic interior. The rooms are very clean, they clean every day while you have breakfast and swim, the towels are snow-white, they are also changed every day, very clean plumbing, floors, etc.

The food was excellent: every day meat (beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, chicken, duck), fish, squid, shrimp, a lot of vegetables and fruits, ice cream, for dinner they cook on the grill right in front of you, every day we tried something new. Animation in the hotel is beyond praise: a variety of sports during the day, cocktail games, competitions, in the evening - sketches, competitions. Animators - young Italians, very funny, cool. I want to return to this hotel!

It was the first time in Greece - I really liked the culture, nature, sea. among the pluses are: + well-groomed territory, a lot of flowers and greenery (we rested in September) + unobtrusive service, friendly staff + good food (delicious pasta sauces, a large selection of meat dishes) + calm and not noisy in the evenings, since the hotel located on the outskirts of the village, the animation ends at 23.

I advise you to take rooms in the main building on 2-3 floors. if you walk to the village, then 20-30 minutes, but on the other hand - there is no noise from discos and drunken reeling - and the animation is rather weak, but on the other hand - unobtrusive

the hotel is quiet and peaceful, wonderful staff, food and all that. The only thing I didn't like was the animation of the Italian students, they have a kind of humor, they tried, but it's not interesting. In general, I would definitely like to return to Crete again and again... I recommend all the excursion to the island of Spinalonga!.

July 2010 For the sake of clarity, I note that the review was not written by the most picky tourists, who can close their eyes to the creaky door in the room or the insufficient (according to some) courtesy of the hotel guide. Circumstances are largely formed in accordance with our attitude towards them, so we try not to spoil our vacation with excessive meticulousness.

For the sake of clarity, I note that the review was not written by the most picky tourists, who can close their eyes to the creaky door in the room or the insufficient (according to some) courtesy of the hotel guide. Circumstances are largely formed in accordance with our attitude towards them, so we try not to spoil our vacation with excessive meticulousness.
1. The rooms are ascetic: tiles on the floor, simple whitewashing on the walls, small bathrooms, TV channels Russian, German (enough). For those who come to swim and sunbathe, this is not a problem. The air conditioning seemed to work, but we didn't use it.
2. Animation is the most common: beach volleyball, gymnastics, aqua-aerobics, games and funny dances. In the evening, 6 times a week, a small show + all the same dances. The 2010 season is an Italian team of rather cheerful and friendly guys.
3. Food - better than in Turkey, the food is more edible. There is no excess of salt and seasonings, all this is on a separate table, whoever needs it will put it. Always Greek salad, watermelon, melon. The breakfasts are especially nice… Delicious croutons and different kinds of omelettes. Lunch boxes disappointed with their scarcity (orange and sandwich). Drinks: water; diluted but still natural juices for breakfast; coffee; cocoa; milk; cola, soda, lemonade, white and rosé wine (medium) in the afternoon. I didn't drink alcohol, so I won't say anything.
4. The beach is sandy, but the entry into the water is rocky. There are no free sun loungers on the beach itself, since the territory does not belong to the hotel, but you can sunbathe by the pool - there are always free comfortable sunbeds with umbrellas. If you walk along the coastline 200-300 meters to the right, you will find yourself on a sandy comfortable beach with a good sandy entry, with a gradual deepening.
5. The public - the hotel is not for youth. Russians - 40%, Italians - 40%, Germans, Poles, etc. - twenty%.
6. The territory is not large, several buildings (it seems that one was across the road from the hotel, not too nice if you find yourself there). There are quite a few rooms with a sea view (someone paid extra 70 euros for this luxury). 2 swimming pools, sea water, cleaned perfectly every morning.
7. The location is convenient for a quiet holiday, 1500 m from the town of Malia, which has many souvenir shops, bars for every taste, clothing stores, jewelry stores.
8. Staff: a Russian girl worked at the reception (but this is not Turkey - knowledge of English is very useful, although there are Russian consultants in some shops in Malia). The rooms are cleaned every day, the maids are friendly. There were no cases of theft.
9. Transport. You can walk to Malia - 20-30 minutes or rent an ATV (license required), it cost us 85 euros with full insurance for 6 days. Just like the car, we took it in Malia from Sasha's compatriot, who, along with a discount, can give a map with places to visit on the island (his agency is located somewhere on the left after the souvenir shop with soap and other chemicals, by the way, everything is there quite cheap, down the street from the hotel). The roads are good, but the ZHPS will not interfere (in my nokia it's free, you just need to download the map).
10. Excursions - Santorini, for the rest take a car. To save our nerves, we bought a tour from Pegasus, a little expensive (about 120 euros), but iron. Don't forget your camera! Be sure to take a trip to the south coast to swim in two seas in one vacation.
In conclusion, I will say that, not being a supporter of the fact that it is worth going to the same resort twice (there are so many places that you need to visit in time), I would gladly return to this wonderful island. Perhaps in the same hotel, which left only pleasant impressions.

I would like to share my impressions about the hotel "Malia Bay" and about the rest in general. We originally booked another hotel, but ironically (and thank God) ended up in Malia Bay! We liked it as soon as we entered it! Of course, after there were some nuances (foreign smells, etc. ) And the room we were given a terrible one, but after a couple of days they moved to a normal room.

We liked it as soon as we entered it! Of course, after there were some nuances (foreign smells, etc. ) And the room we were given a terrible one, but after a couple of days they moved to a normal room. Reading some reviews of tourists and having heard enough of them at the hotel, their dissatisfaction with: they did not change bed linen every day, not a varied cuisine, a poor selection of alcohol and its disgusting taste, etc. But nevertheless, "OUR" indignant at the disgusting taste of food , drinks and liquor, were not too lazy to fill their plates again and again (and where does it go? ), drink "terrible" beer from the very early morning and suck the bond or crayfish all day, emphasizing: I have the right to pay for everything! : If you are so dissatisfied with everything, why stuff yourself with all this with such persistence? You would rather say hello back and be more friendly than wasting time on negativity. . . You can always find the negative, if you look for it with such persistence. . . We really liked the hotel, and you can always close your eyes to all sorts of unpleasant little things. There was so much greenery around, so much sun. The three of us arrived there, but after two days there were several times more of us. We met wonderful people and roared parting (although many did not know the language, but nevertheless this did not prevent everyone from getting closer....) The animators guys are just great!! ! Olya - the children just adore her and she answers them with the most sincere reciprocity! Elena is a wonderful girl! Steve - this person is just crazy about what he does! And this is so important! , we really liked our vacation in Malia and Crete in particular! It turned out to be very sincere, very warm and at the same time so cheerful that no "smells" spoiled it for us! We brought new friends! we are still sharing them! I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff of "Malia Bay" for their friendliness, for their smiles and for everything!! ! And special thanks to Steve, Olya and Elena!! ! We participated in all competitions and in all shows, got so many emotions and even victories and prizes : ) Go to Malia! If you are a sociable, friendly person, if you prefer active rest, and not just lying on sunbeds and sipping beer or local moonshine - you will like it! And what is far from the center, you can rent a car, ATV, bicycles. Have a good rest, excursions and the most wonderful impressions and perhaps new friends, who knows....

Externally, the hotel looks quite decent, but a lot of negative small nuances. Poorly washed dishes in the dining room, the smell of garbage, not very comfortable uncomfortable rooms, mosquitoes, food - much is simply not possible to eat, the drinks are disgusting. 3 with 2 minuses.
