Top Malia Hotel Reviews

Sofia Hotel

Sofia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very good “airport hotel” as it was close and easy to access the airport itself. A scale in the lobby is very handy to verify your baggage weight, Quite a few tavernas and cafes within a 10-minute stroll. Helpful staff. Would be nice add if an airport shuttle was available. The taxis are a rip off charging 12 Euro to travel a 5 minute ride."

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property, felt very high end but still authentic. The staff is very nice and ready to help. The room was comfy and always beach/pool sunbeds available. The breakfast is amazing 10/10 we looked forward to it every day. The onsite reasturants and drinks were over priced for what you got (but the dinner buffet also 10/10 at 45 euros per person). If you are travelling with a baby they have lots of high chairs at all eating places. The only thing I would say is the pool is deep (for kid swimming) and also if you are not travelling with kids this place is packed with young families (great for us, but if I was on a romantic getaway I would choose adult only resort), the town of Malia is walkable about 25 mins - only 5 min drive. But the town is geared to young clubbers and strip joints… BUT the “old town” is cute and small and has good restaurants, so I would just go into old town to dine out. The beach is nice but more rustic/with large rocks. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend."
