Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels

An unforgettable stay at Phāea Cretan Malia! 🤍 The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by lush gardens and nature. We loved the authentic Cretan atmosphere, the elegant design, and the attention to detail throughout the property. The food was delicious, the staff was warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing holiday. The beach and pools were wonderful, and everything felt very well organized. A beautiful place that combines traditional Cretan charm with modern comfort. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return! ✨

Location, restaurants and style of rooms

Lots of families and children using the gym

It was a bit of a wonder world, out of reality kind of vacation. The facilities are great, the landscaping is on point, staff were wonderful and very accommodating. Our cleaning service was a wonderful guy, that changed the bedsheets every other day, wich was great with the humidity. The breakfast had a good variety of, but it was the same, no variation, wich I found a bit dull after a week. The beach is wonderful, with shallow water, perfect for small children.

The proximity to the other hotel with the loud evening program and the air humidity, but that has nothing to do with the hotel itself, it’s just the location next to the see. It was only annoying that everything ( bedsheets, clothes, towels etc) was a bit damp.

Nice family hotel staff friendly

I feel like the property was advertised like more of a farm to table, small, boutique vibe than it actually is. It is a large family hotel with one special restaurant but website it definitely misleading.
