Reviews for Cretan Malia Park
Beautiful hotel, dinners disappointed
The hotel is really really lovely. Rooms are great and beds super comfy. Breakfasts are exceptional. The area isn’t great but there is plenty going on in-season to mean you don’t need to leave the hotel. But the one major disappointment is the food. It’s not cheap to eat or drink here but the quality is very average. We left dishes untouched because they just weren’t very nice. We also ate in the local tavernas and the food was better and half the cost.

For sure NOT 5 star & 20 cats & no lift, laughable service
Short drive from the airport - safe gated. Beachfront (rocky not sandy at the hotel) but a short walk around the bay for the sandy beach. Made welcome upon arrival by Concierge staff - happy with our free lemonade (?!) until she told us they have 20 adopted cats on site. Shown to our Signature Room (upgrade from broom cupboard) which was "compact". We had to leave our suitcases on the balcony. No face flannels, no turndown, no minibar replenish etc. I had to clean our room one day - which I took to Reception: Mr Malliotakis (Rooms Division Manager) was very sorry. Jet2 had sold us B&B. Euros86 for 2 buffet dinners. We upgraded next day to All Inc for Eur 128 pp pday. The staff were either amazing (Olga at Mezze) or dire (Eva at Buffet). Think Fawlty Towers in Crete! We ate at the Italian one night, were shown to our table & then waited 15 mins. Carpaccio was delicious. My shrimp risotto was tepid. At clearing, Mr Grumpy asked why I hadn't alerted him - because we were invisible - he said he'd take it off our bill - oopsie All Inc! No lift - hard when you just had surgery on your feet. call bell for service at beach was broken. Ikos, we're on our way again...

Exquisite Cretan experience
If you want to experience exquisite luxury while still feeling the authentic Cretan vibe, Phaea Cretan Malia Park is the perfect place. We loved it so much that we went back three times. The facilities are outstanding – modern yet blending perfectly with the lush greenery, pools, shaded areas, and the sea just a few steps away. Everything feels calm, well thought-out, and inviting. But the real star of the show is the food: fresh, flavorful, and with an authentic Cretan touch that makes every meal unforgettable. From breakfast to dinner, it’s a true culinary journey. This hotel manages to combine comfort, authenticity, and luxury in a way that feels effortless. Highly recommended!

Luxury & authentic experience
We’ve been coming to Phaea Cretan Malia Park for three years in a row and absolutely love it! Very family-friendly, with kind staff, delicious food, a beautiful beach, and amazing pools. We’ll definitely return again!

I've told all my friends about this place!
I've never been to a resort quite as incredible as Phaea Cretan Malia. It is truly the most immersive experience with lots of activities, restaurants on property, variety of spots to tan and relax and the most Greek culture from the staff. We stayed in a balcony room overlooking the ocean and the waves crashing onto the shore were a sound I crave daily. Waking up and having coffee out there was the best way to start the day. We had a cooking class at Mouries and it was truly a core memory. They made us feel like their family and the food was so authentic we ended up eating breakfast, lunch and dinner there almost every day. The entire resort was extremely clean, room service was exceptional and we loved walking around it. Lastly, I loved the fact that this is an all inclusive resort for families. It was packed with kiddos as well as couples in their honeymoon making this the perfect place to visit as your family grows. It's close to downtown Malia which is known for its partying scene as well if you are a group of younger people looking for the perfect place to spend your holiday. Can't wait to visit in again!
