Village Heights Resort

Village Heights Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great big resort, lots of options and parking, we didn't opt for the all inclusive but was able to partake in the other facitilites. Tennis courts, mini putt. They had a lot of staff on hand to support and help and be as welcoming as possible. Check in was fantastic everyone from begining to end always had a smile"

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

8/10 Good

"A nice location just out of the old town. A quick and friendly check in with a small upgrade to a harbour view ,which was very much appreciated. Standard size room with an excellent shower but a terrible mattress that gave me terrible back ache , not something I suffer with normally. It was all a little “sterile” tbh, staff who were polite but not particularly friendly. We didn’t ear at the hotel but did enjoy a wine in the bar each night , being served by a scruffy and a little grumpy barman. We would not choose to stay again as it’s clearly aimed more of a business hotel ."

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."
