It was very clean, the cleaning staff came everyday to clean the room. The room was very big and the view was incredible. The staff was helpful, friendly and polite. The food in the restaurant was great. By foot you have to walk only about 7-10 minutes (max.) to be in the old town („city“).

We had an amazing 6-day stay at Akrogiali Beach Hotel Apartments in Malia, Crete. The location is perfect for exploring the eastern part of the island and is conveniently close to Heraklion Airport. The hotel boasts a beautiful pool with a bar serving delicious cocktails and a beachfront with breathtaking sunsets every evening. The place is spotless, and the breakfast was delightful. What truly stood out, though, were the people. The owner made us feel like part of the family, and the staff were incredible. They always seemed genuinely happy, spreading good vibes throughout the day with their humor, occasional you felt like in a small stand-up comedy show. It's clear that the owner knows how to motivate and inspire them. We will never regret booking with them—this place has left a lasting impression on us, and we can't wait to return!

beautiful building very modern, bed was comfy and was an actual queen bed and not two singles pushed together which is a rare sight. the bathroom was really nice and shower had great pressure. We could literally walk out of our room to the pool. loved the set up and was a decent location 15 min walk to everything. the staff were so nice and also had a super market connected so that was very convenient. Overall loved it and would definitely book again.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at this hotel – I'd give it a perfect 10 stars! The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the pool was just as pristine. The rooms were big, which was wonderful for families like mine. The kids' beds were ultra-comfy – far better than typical sofa beds. It was such a pleasant surprise that each child had their own cozy bed. The entire staff, including the owner, were incredibly warm and helpful, always there with a smile. Amanda and the owner in particular, was a true gem. The hotel's location is a winner – peaceful yet conveniently close to a variety of restaurants in the central area. Close to Amazing crystal clear water beach Potamos beach - with blue laggons What's more, it's just a quick 25-minute drive from the airport. And that pool? The view of the mountains and trees is simply stunning. It's an oasis of relaxation. In a nutshell, this hotel is an absolute dream for families. Impeccably clean rooms, super comfy beds for the kids, great location, a gorgeous pool with an incredible view and the cherry on top super friendly and attentive team – I Highly recommend it!

NO KIDS! Absolutely tranquil, lovely property with multiple beautiful pools and a perfect private beach. Doesn't feel like mass tourism, it feels local and we loved the classic stone architecture. There is no bad location on the property; everything is close to a pool or restaurant or beach. From minute one the staff was friendly, welcoming, charming and made our stay amazing. WiFi worked surprisingly well everywhere, even the beach. The spa was an elevated experience with quality services and products, and a beautiful facility with pool, sauna and steam. We loved playing tennis and were grateful for the option (note €10 court fee.) Housekeeping was fast and thoughtful, and generous with bottled water. A lot of staff we encountered provided nice service in both English and German, which impressed us. Our room was newly renovated with marble fixtures, great water pressure and comfortable bed. Nespresso in the room and coffee on the private terrace made mornings magical. The all inclusive aspect is handled elegantly with room numbers not wristbands, and it's always clear what is included.
