It was a pleasure to stay a week at so nice and comfortable Hotel. The Hotel staff were very helpful and always ready to assist with any questions. The rooms and the hotel territory were very clean, swimming pools two for adults and one for babies. Big swimming pools have deep from 1 to 3.5 m. There are very beautiful trees and flowers on territory. Excellent place to spend with family. There are some snacks and a lot of drinks on the bar. Every Monday the are organizing Greece life music. There is a nice Potamos beach, but need to drive about 5 min or walk 20 min. The hotel may organize lunchboxes if you would like to go somewhere! Very recommend this hotel for everyone if you want to enjoy your vacation in peace and quiet place! Best wishes to the hotel personnel!!! 😀

I was with my mother for a week in June in this hotel. The hotel deserves a 5-star rating because of the staff. The staff are very nice and helpful. The staff do everything they can to satisfy the guests. The rooms are large, cleaned every day and towels are changed. The location is ideal (close to the sandy beach), you can't hear loud music from the center. The only drawback is quite a lot of loud young people from the UK ;) (however, it is a city ideal for parties, so I fully understand this). The restaurant has a variety of meals and everyone can choose something for themselves. The food is fresh, there are always vegetables and fruits. Although the hotel day starts at 3 p.m. and we were at the hotel around 8.30 a.m., we could eat meals and the reception was very helpful in everything (for such a high rating). For little money as for All inclusive, you can't have any complaints.

A peaceful, well-kept hotel with spotless rooms cleaned daily. The food is delicious and thoughtfully prepared, while the bar serves excellent cocktails. Service is warm and welcoming, making for a truly relaxing stay. The only drawback is the lack of a separate smoking area, leaving non-smokers and families exposed to cigarette smoke outside.

Ah well. Food. They haven’t exactly discovered this concept as of yet. While it provided great entertainment, the unique spag bowl genuinely made everyone there want to rip out every bit of our insides. There was one good bloke working, but Christ alive the others were rather useless. Our air con leaked which ended a promising athletic career with a horrific injury. Alas, we are alive so it can’t be that bad I guess.

Great hotel. Very clean. Far away from Malia strip to not hear it but close enough to walk (5 mins) if you want to go there. Close beach too (8 mins). Old town is lovely. Staff here are very friendly. Would definitely come back here.

I spent a week here along with 8 other girls and from the other reviews left about this hotel, we were nervous. However as soon as we got there we were pleasantly surprised. Owners were very nice, we had to pay a deposit and wifi/aircon payment in cash upon arrival (you get €20 back at the end of your week depending on the state of your room). They told us the rules such as no loud music on the balcony’s after 11pm, no food or drinks that weren’t bought at the hotel to be by the pool ect (these all seemed reasonable). The rooms were very modern, clean and much nicer than we were expecting. However, we did have 2 single beds and a sofa bed which is not what we thought we paid for. We had to ask for a second mattress for the sofa due to it being extremely uncomfortable. Air-con does need to be paid for but it is definitely worth it as works really well. They also only provide you with one toilet roll and no hand soap, but these can be bought from any of the shops nearby. (There’s also a tiny shop at the hotel with a few essentials in) WiFi works wells if you’re near the pool/have a room near the pool. The restaurant in the hotel was amazing as it was well priced with lots of breakfast/lunch/dinner options. However it’s also less than 5 min walk to get to old town where there’s lots or traditional Greek restraunts. Overall, all the girls were very happy with our experience at Happy Days Studios and I’d recommend this hotel to anyone going to Malia.

I came here on a lads holiday and after reading some reviews we were very skeptical but the hotel was nothing like any of the bad reviews. We stayed in the “Apartment Superior Two Bedrooms” room and it was the best decision we made. The room was very spacious and perfect for 3 people. As you arrive there’s a few additional costs like tourist tax, air con cost, safe cost and a deposit. They are all fair costs and worth the money and the deposit was given back at the end as long as you keep your room in a good condition. The 2 pools were very nice and clean and there’s a lot of sun loungers dotted around the pool and bar. The staff are very fair and reasonable if you respect their rules. It’s located in Malia Old Town and is a nice 10-15 min walk to the strip. Would definitely recommend for young people looking at staying just outside of the strip. The pictures below are from the double bed room inside the “apartment superior two bedrooms” and the other bedroom had 2 single beds.

I would definitely not recommend for girls and couples. I stayed here with my boyfriend for the week and honestly couldn’t believe how we were treated by a member of staff. We were followed back to our room while a male staff member was shouting at me to leave while accusing me of not staying at the hotel, as if i was being brought back. I would definitely be careful if you’re looking for a girls holiday with the way he went on. If i wasn’t with my boyfriend i would have felt really threatened. The rest of the staff were nice enough but for it being a vibe hotel it definitely did not have fun atmosphere as you constantly feel like you are being watched. The location was decent though as it was close to the restaurants in the old town.

Nicky Havard

Love this little gem, local to beach, restaurants and bars. Rooms are well out together for sharers and couples alike, clean and well equipped. The staff are just lovely, can't do enough for you and this is what sets this hotel apart from others, a great place to stay!

Millie

I’m normally not one to leave reviews however my experience at happy days was not the best. First of all, on arrival you have to pay over a 70 euro deposit which is not mentioned at all until you get there, you will not get this back due to using the air conditioning (which gave me and my cousin throat infections anyway) we was told that if we didn’t get any makeup blood etc anything that could stain the sheets, we would get out deposit back which was reasonable, however we left no stains and was given 20 euros of our deposit back and we was told only at the end of our holiday this would be because we used the air conditioning and because of tax. I’ve also never been to a hotel where security has been so rude. You aren’t aloud to sit on your balcony and if you make the slightest noise you are told to go to bed! We was told to get into our rooms when we was making very little noise and other people around us had speakers on their balcony but security didn’t seem to think this was a bother, but me and my cousin whispering was? It’s a shame because the staff are actually really lovely and helpful, especially those behind the bar. But apart from that that’s basically the only positive thing I could say about my experience. Also you have to pay for wifi which we also didn’t know, there was little to no service the whole time being there and as uni students we would have really appreciated being told all of these things?? Seems to me they only care about making money out of those who choose to go there, so I would not recommend coming here for your holiday unless you want to be ripped off and suffocate from the air conditioning your paying for out of your deposit:)

This hotel was as good as we expected. The beach being right on the hotel was amazing one thing that we found strange was that you had to pay €10 for a sunbed on the beach which we thought it would have been free. The room was good, although our balcony had sewage pipes running just outside of it, and our bathroom always had a horrible smell. The food was terrible it was the same food put out all 7 days we stayed there very repetitive but the drinks were average.

Aneta Elčknerová

The stay at Malia Bay was excellent. We had a modern room with the view of the sea and pool. Food was delicious and we enjoyed variety of meals. Stuff is friendly and tries their best to make your holiday even better. The only inconvenience is that the city Malia is far from the hotel, about 40 minutes walk.

Axel Stone

Cannot fault this hotel and the shopping. Everything was great, food was delicious catering for all. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. We stayed in room with the swim up pool shared with others but no problem 😊 Shop directly opposite the hotel where Kristos and Terri Marie made us very welcome, and we got Everything we needed in there. A must do is the safari quad bikes Yiannis our guide was brilliant. Beach is nice and clean just make sure you have beach shoes as the sand is very hot ! Beautiful scenery etc. Will definitely be going back at some point 😄

probably one of the worst all inclusive hotels i have stayed in. My friends and i arrived at 10pm to check in to our hotel, we were then taken half way to our room then told we have no booking for tonight. It was clear this was a common theme as there were groups of people asleep on the sofas, or complaining about having no room. We then showed confirmation and said we do. The male receptionist then backtracked to say our room has no power/water so we can't have a room tonight. After going back and forth we were put in a temporary room which was essentially a dark back room with no windows. One of the beds was a bench with a pillow on it. We were offered a free round of drinks after the all inclusive had finished as an apology, we then had to pay for the drinks! The door to the room did not lock from the inside and barely shut properly, the aircon might as well not have worked and the bathroom was still covered in sand like it hadn't been cleaned. The next day we were told we could have our actual room. We headed up with the female receptionist who then opened the door in shock and said we need to wait another 2 hours. When we finally got our room it had an overall smell of sick the floor was covered in wet dirty mop marks. In our whole weeks stay our room was cleaned once, after we complained to reception. On a separate occasion the receptionist gave us a please clean me sign to hang on the door, which the cleaner then took of the door and didn't clean our room. To add to this, the cleaner didn't have a key to our room so we had to leave the door unlocked everyday. The all inclusive is pretty shocking, with a list of drinks you have to pay for. Paying extra for a bottle of water at an all inclusive restaurant is not acceptable and the hotel private beach you have to pay for a sun-bed doesn't quite add up. The food is average and the drinks are quite shocking. To add the hotel has an overall bad smell which is very off putting. Would not come back here!

Amazing stay! Bright, comfortable rooms and welcoming staff. The food was excellent with lots of variety. The hotel has a perfect location right by the beach and it has four pools for relaxing moments. Malia Bay really exceeded our expectations — can’t wait to return!

Eliza Kl

Our stay at the hotel was excellent! Breakfast was rich, with great variety and very good quality choices. Particular reference is worth the Fotini from the bar, which was always willing, smiling and helpful. Not only did he offered us our coffee in the morning with courtesy and care, but he also suggested beautiful places to visit in Crete, showing real interest. He is really professional and makes the difference! Thank you very much for the hospitality! We will definitely visit this hotel again.

Clare Norton

Cannot recommend this hotel enough!! Staff amazing and accommodating, beach nice bit sea weedy and rocky but walk a bit further and u can find a clear spot. Infinity pool beautiful but everyone ignores the no reserving before 9am rule..but we generally have been ok in getting sun beds. Rooms amazing. Small hotel not really not what we are used to but thoroughly enjoy it!!

Romain A

Absolutely loved our stay at this Cretan hotel! The all-inclusive package made everything so easy and relaxing. Having multiple seawater pools was fantastic – there was always space to swim and the views were incredible. And the direct beach access? That was the icing on the cake! We could stroll from our room straight onto the sand. Highly recommend it for a stress-free and luxurious vacation.

Wonderful Stay at I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa Our experience at I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa was truly memorable. We arrived at the hotel around midnight and were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were checked in. Even though it was late and we were a bit hungry, the hotel had already arranged a delicious pita sandwich in our room. This thoughtful gesture made us feel very welcomed and appreciated. Our room was in a great location with easy access to the beach, which we really enjoyed. While the room was a bit on the smaller side, it was comfortable and well-maintained. The buffet at both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of choices, and the food was delicious. The floor service was excellent—friendly, attentive, and efficient. I would especially like to thank the manager, Ilias, and the hardworking staff members: Paulos, who was always busy making sure everyone was served quickly, and Giorgos, another friendly and dedicated waiter. Every evening after dinner, the hotel provided entertainment including dancing, singing, and karaoke. Each night featured something different, which kept things exciting and fun for all the guests. A special shout-out to Joan and Chloe from the entertainment team, who went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Towards the end of our stay, I encountered a problem with my coach transfer back to the airport. The receptionist, Alice, was extremely helpful and handled the situation efficiently, for which I’m very grateful. Overall, I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa exceeded our expectations with its warm hospitality, great food, friendly staff, and enjoyable entertainment. We would definitely recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.

Have recently arrived home after a lovely 10 days in the i resort hotel at Stalis, Crete. The reception staff were very polite and we were checked in without delay and taken to our rooms. The rooms were bright and spacious with lovely side sea views. They were cleaned daily by the friendly cleaners - nothing was too much trouble. We enjoyed using both swimming pools - towels were provided by the hotel for the pools and beach which could be changed as often as you wanted for no extra cost. The usual aerobic sessions and aqua dance were held each day in the one pool by the lovely entertainment crew - Joanna, Chloe and Alessandro who worked really hard to get everyone to join in. The infinity pool was amazing with views directly over the sea. Sunbeds could be a problem to start with towels being placed on them to reserve them very early in the morning but then the hotel started to remove them at 9am if you weren't actually there so that meant there were more available. The restaurant staff were lovely especially Emanuella and again they were very attentive. The food was very good - it's difficulty to cater for everyone but most of the time there was a good choice. The little dessert cakes were gorgeous! Even if you are all inclusive its worthwhile trying out the restaurants in Stalis - lots of choice, value for money and again very friendly people. The beach is right by the hotel with plenty of sunbeds on offer even if you don't use the hotel ones. If you buy a drink or food at many of them you don't have to pay for the sunbeds and umbrellas. Lots of watersports on offer so no need to get bored! Night time entertainment was varied and enjoyable - again Alessandro, Chloe and Joanna worked really hard to make sure everyone had a good time. The bar staff were amazing too although at busy times they could have done with a few more to prevent waiting times for drinks being a bit too long. In all we had a really good 10 days and would happily return to the i resort hotel. Martin, Claire and Zoe

Nick Adkins

Great place for couples. Fabulous setting and amazing food. Drinks are a bit expensive but you can get your own from the local supermarket. Very popular with German guests. Probably 90% of the guests were German. Entertainment excellent apart from the DJ who mainly catered for the Germans and Germany is not renowned for its music! Only downside is the amount of smoking. Everyone seemed to be smoking everywhere. I am an ex smoker but this was a bit of surprise for a Luxury Resort and Spa.We booked a day trip to Knossos which is only 38 minutes away according to Google but with all the pick ups and drops offs, we spent nearly 4hrs on the coach. Highly recommend private transfer. We were in our hotel an hour after landing! And the room was ready. Also booked late check out until 6pm for an extra €60. Don't forget the tourist tax at €15 per day per room. We would definitely return though.

Rina Smyk

I visited this hotel two times already, and it have always been nothing short of amazing. The beach is absolutely incredible, hotel facilities are lovely and food in restaurants is perfect. The staff is also nice and helpful! We had all our requests accommodated promptly.

Gheorghe Neagu

A very lovely hotel, great location on the beach, with a nice sandy beach (clear and low water). The room was in fact a mini suite, cozy, very very clean, silent and fresh even when outside was hot. We enjoyed the great view from our terrace, the AC, the short way to the pool, to the main restaurant and to the beach. Very tasty food, great variety, friendly and carring personnel (the chef was very empathetic about my food allergy and offered personalized food❤️). It was a very pleasant vacation that we would repeat any time.

Emin Ugur

During our stay at Hotel Ikaros in Crete, we had dinner a few times at the hotel’s Italian restaurant. Each time, we were helped by Maria, who provided friendly and attentive service. As a vegetarian, it can be tricky to find suitable options, but Maria took the time to check with the kitchen and made sure everything was clear and suitable. It was much appreciated. Overall, professional and helpful service. Thanks, Maria.

Paulius Leita

The best thing was a Spa! We meet very friendly and super nice Wendy from Spa! Her recommendation was perfect and the guy Alkis make the best massage I ever had! The stuff in Aery restaurant was so friendly and the food was amazing! Everything else was not bad just really don’t like the bar drinks because when you go to the beach they give you much smaller and it was so sweet and the quality was… but the price is the same like normal when you dink in the bar. And sorry guys but in the bar personal was angry and cold.. But in the end we like the resort! The beach was really great! And you need to try Spa! ❤️

Pavlos Patouchakis

It was a really nice stay in this hotel after the brand change to Sentido! Everything from the moment we completed our check in till we said goodbye was amazing! Really tasty food by breakfast but lunch and dinner was something else, a lot of vegetarian options and vegan food and the theme nights too! The whole restaurant had an elegant atmosphere and luxurious vibe! There were 2 pools well maintained and cleaned! Rooms are big and renovated and fully equipped (super extra the coffee machine in the room) and the cocktails at the bar delicious! We must admit though the highlight of the hotel is the a la carte restaurant with the Cretan cuisine and the friendliness of the staff! We will come back soon

popi tsimpinou

It was an amazing stay! From the check-in until our check out everything was great! Exceptional food with options for vegetarian and vegan ! Every night something different and we liked that! The room was big enough and cleaned like the rest of the hotel! The pool offers a nice daily swim paired with nice cocktails from the bar! Really good service and friendliness from everyone! We will come back

Lucy Arians

We had a fantastic time at the Sentido Kyknos Hotel in Crete! The hotel is beautiful, very well maintained, and offers everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great variety at every meal – there was always something tasty and fresh to enjoy. What truly made our stay special was the incredible friendliness of the entire staff. Everyone was warm, helpful, and always ready to listen. You could really feel that the staff cared deeply about the guests and made a genuine effort to connect with everyone personally. It created such a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the hotel. A very special thank-you goes to Markus and Christos, who worked as waiters at the pool bar. They were always cheerful, extremely attentive, and open to a friendly chat. Their kindness and professionalism added so much to our overall experience, and they truly stood out during our stay. We felt completely at ease and very well looked after. Huge thanks to the whole team – we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Kim Unger

Visited for 5 days in total and it was an amazing stay. Can totally recommend. Staff is super friendly especially Katherina at the bar as waitress. We absolutely loved her as a group. Enjoyed the all inclusive. Sadly we can’t recommend the a la carte there. Always the same and poor quality. Rooms are quite clean. Beach is a 5 min walk. Buffet was amazing especially dinner. For the party people out there, Maria strip is half an hour away if you walk there. By car you’re faster.

Nikoleta Spyridaki

We had a fantastic time at the Sentido Kyknos Hotel! We had room No 1106 for a week and we really enjoyed ourselves! The hotel is beautiful, just a few steps from the beach! Our room was spacious, perfectly clean and comfy! The food was delicious with a great variety! But what really made our stay perfect was the staff! incredibly friendly and helpful people showing real greek hospitality!! Huge thanks to the whole team we will probably come again soon!

We stayed in a two-bedroom villa with a sea view, two couples, for the second time. The service at the hotel is perfect, the staff is courteous and responds to every request with a smile and kindness. The villa is well-equipped, clean and simply perfect. The location of the hotel is truly dreamy, located on the mountain, with a simply stunning view, and is close to all the main places. Highly recommend staying at this hotel. We will definitely be back♥️

Reza

I am going to be honest with you guys, I normally leave reviews when I want to complain, but this time, I am going out of my way to review purely because of how nice they were. Whilst I am at it, let me give some information, firstly, this place is out of the way, meaning you NEED a car, unless you like hiking daily. And the Taxi from Malia is 10 Euros each way (4 minute drive lol), which is obviously not the real price, but for Westerners, the least we can do is help out the economy a little, so I didn't complain about that personally. Now moving onto the actual hotel. Firstly, they gave us a free upgrade as we were a family and we had different villa types, but they put us next to each other via upgrading. Secondly, because we checked in very late, they left us each a bottle of wine, with food and salad. And not going to lie, that was a highlight for me. I personally poured that wine down at 3AM, and dipped into the pool. Aside from that, very polite, and classy people. The woman whom I forgot the name of, and sorry for getting it wrong, but I think she was Eastern European or Russian, was extremely classy, and informative, she went above and beyond for my family and always helped in any way that we needed. Anyhow, yeah, definitely come here, and rent a car beforehand, and full send it.

OK

We had a fantastic experience. The villa was well-maintained and beautifully equipped, with a private pool and breathtaking views of the sea and mountains. The service was professional, the reception staff very attentive, and the atmosphere perfect for a quiet, relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

Giovanna Morales

Beautiful view and the villa was like the pictures

Copper Oak Carpentry LTD

Excellent view from the hotel especially for breakfast. Staff are super friendly and helpful, we had breakfast included and the selection was excellent. Everything was super clean and the staff couldn’t be more helpful with our requests. Would definitely recommend and come again!

Xen

Difficult to give overall score. Room was ok for fam. of 4 (2 kids), spacious, good a/c, nice view, large fridge, clean, comfy beds. Many pools, clean water. Close to the beautiful beach. BUT no mosquito screens on windows of the rooms and a/c is too strong for kids to sleep under whole night so we could not open windows during night because there are too many of little buggers coming in and it was difficult for us to sleep there. Meals offer in restaurant is ok-ish but drinks are very limited and for all inclusive offer it should be better. Also, very stiff staff and rules in restaurant - no barefoot, plates taken away while still eating, no taking cups of coffee outside cafe terrace. Military drill. It's not that we'd take bloody cups in the plane and run away with them, just wanted to have coffee in the room and not from horrible plastic ones... So, pls consider having a little bit more flexibility, improving drink offer and installing mosquito screens/nets on windows.

tom brazil

Awful hotel . Bathroom had mold and no shower curtain so the bathroom was always soaking wet . AC didnt work at all yet was still told we had to pay despite reporting it as not working twice. Staff very rude especially the person who i think was the manager and a lot of the rules regarding drinks and food just seem made up on the spot. However the overall hotel is nice the pools are big and the water slides were fun and its in a good location. would not go again though.

lol

the owner of this hotel has to be put in jail because this hotel doesn't deserve even one star the food it's terrible I wouldn't give that to my dog the drinks are cheap like the hotel that they are.Its a pity that you go in holiday to find something like that

Bessie - Vasiliki Broussalis

I take no joy in writing negative reviews about businesses. However, when I am swindled out of hundreds of dollars, I believe I must let other people be aware of my experience. We had a booking at this hotel August 6-8, 2024. I arrived and left the hotel within two hours. Upon arrival, the check-in process was chaotic. There was only one person working at the reception and it was a lot of traffic for one hotel. I witnessed the receptionist charge people for air conditioning, kettle usage etc. I have never experienced this before. We were brought to our room and it was very disappointing. It was dated (which is okay), and not that clean (see pictures of crusty TV remote, ants in room, spider webs on windows etc). The room was hot. The receptionist told me she would return in five minutes to turn on the Ac because they have to turn it on with a key! We waited an hour in the heat. There were other guests enjoying the pool and we could hear them despite closed windows and doors (AC was on at this point). We asked for a room upgrade. We offered to pay. There was no other rooms available. We are business owners so we tried to offer four different solutions to the receptionist but all were rejected. We were told we could not get refunded because the owner who had final say was on vacation, then we were told the accounting department was closed for the day. It was essentially terrible service due to poor management. If you are going to have a single person doing the work, you need to give them some discretion to make decisions. We had the all inclusive package but it was very restrictive in times to consume and items to consume. Too many rules for me. It is either all inclusive or it isnt. Cannot comment on the food as I had none. We were not allowed to check out as we left before the official check out date. This is unheard of to me. No receipts issued, no proof probably to cover themselves and not provide any sort of refund. They kept telling us it is our choice to leave and it was but why can I not have an invoice as proof? We have yet to hear from them in any way but it is fine. That is all you need to know. A business's worth is shown in how it treats clients when there is an issue. The pools looked nice and the location was good. But if a hotel offers bad service and mediocre policies, you should avoid them.

Not what you would expect a 4 star hotel to be like. First of all, the apartment felt like it was just refurbished as it had piles of construction dust in the corner. Walls were empty, old furniture, no bathroom shelves, no shower curtain, no power sockets by the bed. It also smelled like chlorine and bleach so we had to keep the windows open and there was no mosquito mesh. There was also no sound isolation whatsoever so if you’re a light sleeper, you’ll have trouble sleeping as some mornings hotel workers started construction work as early as 7am. There were also no “do not disturb” signs so if you didn’t want your room cleaned you had no choice. The good thing was that apartment was very spacious and had a private balcony with a nice view. Another thing worth mentioning was the dining area. The food wasn’t bad, but there were so many strange made-up rules that made us feel constantly tense. It felt more like an army than a holiday retreat. Also when half-board, you can’t get any drinks or even water with your dinner, only at breakfast. Not a huge loss tho, as all the drinks tasted like chlorine and the coffee was just terrible! However the worst thing was that you could feel and see how tense and stressed all the staff was. There was this one manager who was just walking around and watching everybody work, pointing to an empty dishes and bossing everyone around even though all the staff was working so hard and were so nice and friendly. We hated that our plates were taken away with the last bite, basically while we were still chewing our food but it felt like the staff was pressured to do so by the manager so we didn’t say anything. Overall it was okay for a price we paid as we got a cheap last-minute vacation and we didn’t spend much time in the hotel area anyway, but I would rather choose something different next time. Also, it’s a 4 star hotel, so keep in mind that you’ll have to pay additional 7€ tax per night that becomes a whole 49€ a week. Good things: beautiful surroundings, stunning plants, food variety, tasty ice-cream, friendly staff, good location, nice view, cute cats, quiet in the evening.
