Sea View Apts & Suites by Pachiplex

We did enjoy a wonderful stay at the Sea View Apts & Suites. It is located directly at the port of Malia, which makes a nice spot for swimming and sunbathing. If you walk about 150m to the right there is another lovely sandy beach that is a bit secluded and is a good spot for snorkeling around the rocky outcrops and cliffs. The room was very spacious, clean and lovely decorated. It is a perfect stay if you are looking for a nice, quiet and relaxing time near the beach. Many thanks to Manos and Popi, the owner and hosts. They are great hosts, very friendly and helpful. It is stongly advised to get personal transportation, be it a car or scooter. As mentionned, the hotel is a bit secluded and in a calm area. The car/scooter will get you to Malia in 3min.

Best host in Crete. Apartment was very clean and location is perfect. 1km to city center and you cannot hear any sounds from Bar street to apartments. Beaches are quite near and everything works!

The apartment was great and had everything we needed. Poppi was a great host and provided us with everything we needed and was above and beyond what was expected

Nothing

Good atmosphere

It was our second time in this apartment and we loved it once again. It is a wonderful, quiet place in Malia and our hosts, Popi and Manos, took care of everything. They made us feel as if we were their private guests. Thank you so much!

Good location near the beach but far away from the center was a double dged sword

Quite far from the center

The port was much better than expected, actually an almost unused port with very few boats and very quiet. In the first couple of days there were big waves on the proximity beaches, so we stayed in the port, where there were no waves at all. Popi was an excellent host, helping us with anything needed, waiting us for pickup at the arrival bus station from the airport, offering us what the other hosts mentioned: olive oil, raki, welcome beer and I would add as an extra some fresh eggs from a farm. The apartment was big enough for the 4 of us (2 adults and 2 kids) and one of the bedrooms had a big window opening to the sea. The markets ar very close and the best beach of all that we visited during our 8 days trip in Crete was a very close one, Potamia Beach, a 15 minutes walk. Also, the best restaurant we ate at was the restaurant of the port, which is 100 meters from this accommodation.

Maybe a mosquito net would be a good idea.
