Paradise Matala Hotel, hotel in Matala

Located in Matala, a 9-minute walk from Matala beach, Paradise Matala Hotel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Casa E Mare is a great place to stay. It's a short walk from the main beach road but still has a nice selection of restaurants around it. It appears to be a family run place and I found everyone there to always be friendly and ready to help. The rooms are very large and actually feel pretty luxurious for the very reasonable price being charged. Additionally, they are very thorough in the daily room cleaning which is extremely nice for a beach place since no matter what you do, you will bring sand home with you. Kata Beach is only about a 10 minute walk away but they even offer a shuttle bus that will take you there or to Karon Beach or Kata Noi Beach. They will even pick you up again! The internet is extremely strong.

    Such a beautiful little seaside village that comes to life at night. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the views, vibes and people. Also we found the pricing cheaper for food and drinks. I must stop

    The room was clean and relatively new looking.

    The room was clean and relatively new looking. There is no wifi or tv in room. They have wifi at the bar and should be able to get it to rooms with routers but have not bothered. The bed was a disaster, it was hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. My wife and I both hardly slept and had sore back in the morning. We have been travelling for over 5 weeks had no problem with any other beds.

    There is a great vibe at Matala that differs from the rest of Creta. The hippie feel is true. We caught live music the night we were there and it was the best moment. This along with the red beach - strongly recommend.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot. So a lot of restaurants there, lot of tourist shops with souvenirs and a lot of people. The beach itself is not that big, but it was nice though. I mean it really depends on what you are looking for. I am more fond of less crowded and less touristy places, so perhaps next time I would look for something more matching my preferences. On the other hand there is nothing wrong about Matala at all. All the people there are very friendly. Really it depends on what you prefer...

    Matala is a quiet little town with not a lot of traffic, music or noise. You come here to relax. If you like naturist beaching this place is definitely for you (Red beach and Komos beach). Moreover, Matala can be a good base for visiting the area (you have to rent a car or a bike).

    Beautiful little hippie Place with lots of Restaurants, Bars and Cafés. The beach in matala, the red beach and the caves of matala are a must see. When you are in matala I would recommend the Restaurants Georges Yard, Plaka and Hakuna matata.

    The hotel has a great location a short walk from the beach and souvenir shopping so you don’t have to try and park along the crowded roadway. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating - my daughter had a sore knee and they lent her an ice pack for the night. Breakfast was simple but plentiful and a great start to the day. The rooms were very clean. We didn’t use the pool but it looked inviting with plenty of lounge area around it.

    We adored the fact that we could get up and literally walk to the stunning Matala beach and at the same time enjoy our privacy in the cosy Cactus Room with the cute and aesthetically delightful terrace of our own! We could literally walk to the restaurants and bars within minutes. Most of all we adored the room owner and we are beyond grateful for the hospitality and friendship! Thank you so much for the pleasant stay!

    The Hotel is just 2min of the main road and very quiet. The town is pretty touristic, but still you can find very friendly people and great places to eat. Maybe stay away from the very inexpensive places and all is good. Red Beach is great and we drove to other ancient places, hikes and beaches. Very easy to get around. Overall we had a perfect time. Many things to see, nice hosts, great food, wonderful water.

    Paradise Matala is very well located. We have been here before and we can only recommend the place. Super clean, friendly staff, nice breakfast and a great pool. We booked a room in July and we could not come to Matala. We live in Crete, so we asked to come at a later date. Giorgos was so kind to let us come in October. Here you find real Cretan hospitality. We love it!

    The owner and his wife were really welcoming and hospitable 👏 Also we liked the hotel architecture so much, it's pretty unusual. But the king of the whole thing is definitely the view from a room balcony — it was gorgeous, especially on sunset. The Matala Beach is perfect for snorkelling — the underworld is 🤯
