"Almost the perfect 5 star beach holiday for our family"

8.0

Very family friendly (loads of families with babies and very young children which some might put as a negative), abundance at breakfast, most of the staff exceptionally focused on guest’s wellbeing. Beautiful welcome and a beach bar to die for. VIP treatment for everyone. Facilities look beautiful all around.

The beach is rocky. Mezze restaurant did reject us as a walk in, with 70% of tables available. Management should allocate a little more time for room maintenance (beach sand and 3 people in a room required more time than the staff has). 20€ fee for a late check out seems a bit odd.

Das Personal war sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Das Abendessen war abwechslungsreich und es war für jeden etwas dabei. Das Frühstück war eintönig und es gab jeden Tag das selbe, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Das Fitnesstudio hat uns leider sehr enttäuscht, es war ein winziger Raum mit paar Geräten die leider zum Teil verrostet und dreckig waren. Der Pool war leider auch nicht ganz sauber. Ansonsten hat es uns im grossen und ganzen gefallen. Die Gegend war abgelegen, ein Auto wäre sinnvoll wenn man auch was unternehmen möchte.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Phāea Cretan Hotel in Malia sehr genossen. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich mit einem Willkommensdrink empfangen. Eine Mitarbeiterin nahm sich Zeit, uns alle wichtigen Informationen in Ruhe zu erklären. Das gesamte Hotel und auch unser Zimmer machten einen sehr gepflegten und modernen Eindruck. Besonders schön war unser Balkon mit direktem Blick auf den Pool, von dem aus wir abends sogar Livemusik genießen konnten. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich und qualitativ hochwertig. Auch die à-la-carte-Restaurants überzeugten geschmacklich, wenngleich die Preise für nicht-All-Inclusive-Gäste etwas zu hoch angesetzt sind. Der Service war insgesamt gut: Das Personal in der Lobby und im Sicherheitsbereich war stets freundlich und professionell. In den Restaurants wirkte das Team gelegentlich weniger motiviert, arbeitete aber dennoch zuverlässig. Die gesamte Anlage war stets sehr sauber, der Pool gepflegt – kleinere Verbesserungen wären bei der Reinigung (z. B. Sand und Insekten) denkbar. Positiv hervorzuheben ist der private Hotelstrand mit bequemen Liegen und Strandbar. Leider war das Baden durch starken Wellengang nicht möglich – dies lag jedoch nicht am Hotel. Ein klarer Kritikpunkt betrifft das Thema Poolliegen: Obwohl es eine Regel gegen das Reservieren mit Handtüchern gibt, wird diese kaum durchgesetzt. Das führte regelmäßig zu Frust und Konflikten unter Gästen – und auch wir mussten am letzten Tag notgedrungen mitmachen.

We stayed here in June. The large family suite with bunk beds was very comfortable and the staff was very diligent about replacing towels which was really appreciated. The room was supposed to be seafront but in reality we were looking at trees blocking the view. The beach is great IF not windy. We had a few days where the wind meant no swimming at the beach was allowed. No big deal but something to be aware of. Mezze and Mouries restaurant had great food. The breakfast options are also great. The Italian restaurant was our least favorite, with some of the food lacking flavor, but the view overlooking the beach is special. It was a bit frustrating that the Beach Shack was closed for food on Sunday but the food was good when open. There were always chairs on the beach. We were there for over a week and the kids requested to try kids club and enjoyed it. It was very well staffed (6 staff for 3 kids) so they clearly enjoyed the attention. Cons: wish it was possible to order drinks poolside. We were coming from the States and in hindsight, Malia is a bit far to visit some of the best beaches on Crete. We chose it because it was close to Palace of Knossos and the archeology museum but we ended up spending a night in Chania to go to Elofonisi bc it’s too far for a day trip. The hotel app was not particularly useful. Everytime I tried to make a reservation for dinner I got an error. On the plus side, I called the hotel to make the reservations and always got what we wanted.
