Hotels near Malia Palace Archaeological Site, Vrachasi

Have a good stay. We extended the stay of the blow. Far from all the night life of Malia but close to its authentic old Malia.

Stayed at this lovely hotel, right on the sea front, for 10 nights. We booked a Superior room with sea view, not sure what was superior about it apart from the sea view and bath robes (no belts) and slippers, but it had everything we needed. The shower was good apart from the water draining away, itcwas very slow so we had to keep turning the water off until it drained. The room was cleaned daily and towels changed even though we had left them hung up. Having mobility issues I really appreciated the ramps all over the hotel inside and out. We were AI and the three buffets per day were varied enough not to get bored and the food was good. The AI drinks were OK apart from the wine, which I think was Retsina and too harsh for us. We mainly drank beer ( not bad), and the local brandy and ouzo which were fine. It would have been nice if one or two cocktails were included on the AI menu but the cocktails we paid for were good. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Angela and Valarious (apologies if I've spelt it wrong) on the bar in the evening were efficient and friendly. A big shout out to Mr Nikos on the fruit juice and coffee machine, he was a ray of sunshine each morning at breakfast with his big Kalimera greeting to everyone and always ready with dietary advice. The pool is very small and we didn't use it but the sunbeds on the lawn at the back of the hotel were the most comfortable sunbeds we've ever come across and we've tried a lot. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't be averse to a second visit.

A stunning and family-friendly hotel with all you could ask for on the grounds. From a beautiful gym, swimming pools galore to an incredible water park on site for not just the little ones but the big kids too… it has it all! The food courts had so much variety too with different settings for different nights. The entertainment kicked in just as I was leaving and the bar side singing was just beautiful, a great touch to the space ito give it that adult-exclusivity feel away from the other areas of the hotel which catered for the whole family.

We recently enjoyed a holiday at Stella Village and were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional staff. From the moment we arrived, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay, always friendly, attentive, and professional. Their service really stood out and made our time here more enjoyable, I do have to shout out to Andy in the Mediterranean restaurant. He really did make a true friend in my son. Great guy 😀 The water park was a highlight, especially for families. There were plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. However, we did notice some issues with the smaller slides at the back of the park. These areas received very little attention from the lifeguards, which unfortunately led to some adults behaving irresponsibly. It got to the point where we felt uncomfortable and had to leave that area for the day, which was disappointing. The pools, while numerous, didn’t quite feel right for us. The resort has lots of small pools scattered around, but we felt a single, larger pool would have been much more enjoyable and practical. A more modern pool design could really enhance the overall experience. As for the food, it was okay but not outstanding. It was quite repetitive, and while there was variety, it felt very similar each night. A big issue was that the food was often lukewarm, which took away from the dining experience. A bit more attention to ensuring the food is hot would go a long way in improving mealtimes. The accommodation itself, while comfortable, didn’t quite meet the 4-star standard it’s advertised as. I would personally rate it closer to 3 stars, as the rooms felt a little outdated and in need of some modernization. Despite these minor issues, the fantastic staff and the beautiful setting made our holiday enjoyable overall. With some improvements to the food, pool design, and safety in certain areas of the water park, this place could be truly outstanding. We would still recommend it for families, especially if you’re looking for great service and a lively atmosphere.

Booked last minute & was very impressed especially for the money we paid, we had a double room on 2nd floor with town view great balcony with 2 chairs & table, the beds were so comfy made my stay, great little bathroom with a very powerful shower rooms were cleaned every day & towels changed very clean hotel. Breakfast was good selection of cereals. Yogurt, preserves ,honey, crusty bread, sliced bread for toast, eggs , bacon, selection of cheese & cooked meats, croissants. Juice, & great coffee machine. Lunch selection of salads soup & nice jugs of iced water that you could help yourself to & evening meal was very much the same always something you could find to eat. We went on the all inclusive deals as it only worked out about £10 more a day & that included any of your hot drinks, beer soft beverages & brandy, raki & ouzo, red white & rose wine which was drinkable was great for a spritzer. There was a lounge area & a nice seated area outside & we were very lucky with the weather was fab. Nice little pool & terrace area to cool off.
