It is the most beautiful place in Greece. The host is amazing person. He can help you with everything, staff is polite and friendly. And location is great. The beach is 10m from hotel, so you have amazing view from you room. The swimming pool is big and clean. Now it is my favorite place to have a vacation. 100% I'll come back again))

there is nothing to dislike here

Everything was perfect. The location is really great as the hotel is located next to the sea and just 10 minutes away from the center of Malia. The owner of the hotel is friendly and hospitable. He made our living even more comfortable and pleasant. The room was clean during all our time in Laplaya. Restaurant has a marvelous view on the sea. Beach is equipped with everything you need (sunbeds, umbrellas, tables and a shower). This hotel is good for those who enjoy family calm evenings and for those who prefer active night live as well. We will definitely come to this hotel again!

Hotel is located on the beach, sunbeds around pool are free. Beach is clean, there are enough beds for visitors (6-10 euro in September) Room is not big, but have necessary equipment: mini-fridge, stovetop, kettle, spoons, etc. There is either terrace or balcony, so you may enjoy your breakfast with sea view. We spend 5 days already here and like location much: shops and taverns are in 5-10 distance walk, rent a car and travel agencies are also close to it. Room cleaning happens every day. Staff is extremely helpful.

Please calibrate your expectations: it is value for money hotel, not luxary facility.

Proximity to the beach. Big apartment with an overview of the sea. Listening to sea waves crashing while you sleep is a super relaxing experience. Proximity to shops and restaurants. Rooms were always kept clean and tidy!

The bathroom had some plumbing issues. We could use a little bit of introduction with what is available, wifi, excursions etc, and the staff could be more chatty - but maybe it was a language problem.

The view from our two rooms was the wonderful roaring sea. The family run hotel felt like home from home. Nothing was too much trouble. Because of the hotels position on the coast, it wasn't possible to have too many sunbeds on the beach in front of the hotel. This was not the case, the nearer you get to the centre of Malia. There were plenty of sunbeds around the clean pool, and those on the beach were very reasonably priced, unlike some of the bigger resorts that we saw. The restaurant bar served varied breakfast options and light snacks, and one could ask for something from your sunbed, and the attentive and helpful staff would bring it to you, luxury! Yanis's Freddo Cappuccino was perfect! A Ten minute walk to supermarkets and good restaurants. We would return!

Excellent location with balcony overlooking the pool and sea. The owners are super, really friendly making sure that we have everything that we need. The room is cleaned and the towels changed everyday, the food at lunch is good especially the Gyros. The location is far enough to be quiet whilst only a few minutes walk to bars and restaurants. The main strip is more of a party town but can be avoided without problems. We travelled with 3 kids and found loads to do mini golf, water sports, surfing, go-karting (all within 10 minutes walk apart from surfing 20 minute drive). I would definitely come back, the most relaxing week with kids I’ve ever had.

Location is beautiful very family style Entire staff they are so helpful for everything most important any time I wish to go to the ocean it was so convenient

Truly I loved everything

Location, amazing clean big pool, balcony with sea view, spacy apartment with aircondition, nice owner just perfect!!

everything was perfect

Requested a quiet room overlooking beach and got it. Beautiful scenery and great beach. Convenient for grocery stores, etc. Ancient ruins are very close. Airport half hour away. Owner is very welcoming. Can get snack at hotel.

The local economy is driven by tourism so you have to live with that. Some hotels prefer that you don't walk on their beach if you are not staying with them.

The place is perfect. We had an amazing sea view. The swimming pool was clean and there were not so many people. The beach is just next to the swimming pool. The owner and the staff were very friendly.

The hot water in the shower changed every 5 seconds from ice to warm to boiling - it was very difficult to take a shower. This needs to be fixed as it was very uncomfortable during the whole week. The electric cooker was very old and did not work very well. The kitchen could be equipped better. If you fix these two things, you will be a paradise on Earth :-)
