Historic Hotels & Resorts in Malia from AU$125

"The reason we chose this hotel is because it claims “Self-parking included” on the Expedia booking site. During checkin, the receptionist, a gentleman, told us the onsite parking lot was full and we could park at Central park garage which is a couple of blocks away, the hotel would stamp the parking ticket and the cost would be paid by the hotel. We parked our rental car at the Central parking garage and the gentleman stempted the ticket for us. However, during checkout next morning, another receptionist who is a lady, insisted that we must pay $10 for parking. Because we were in hurry to go to a scheduled event. I didn’t have time to talk to their manager and I paid $10. If the lady is right, then the “Self-parking included” is a false claim. "

"Great hotel"

"Lovely stay. Accommodating our daughters dietary requirements very well. Close to beach. Great restaurants"

"The staff, especially Sylvia, was friendly and helpful. She gave good recommendations for restaurants. She also helped to arrange for a good tour and the taxi for leaving by the port. The hotel is in easy walking distance of the pedestrian ways in the city enter, albeit uphill. Of course, that means it is downhill back to the hotel.😄"

"The staff were amazing. Very nice and kind. The breakfast was good. The beds were a little hard. Really good taverna restaurant nearby with traditional food. Great location to rent a car and walk from the airport to. Easy. Great stay for an airport transition to or from Heraklion. Quiet room despite being next to airport. "

"Very helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Special mention to Athina in the restaurant ... super friendly and welcoming."

"The food was probably the most disappointing thing about High Beach. There were large quantities of food and they were varied. The desserts were generally excellent, the breads were delicious and the cold and uncooked items were generally good but the hot and cooked foods were really poor. None of the food that was supposed to be hot was actually hot. It was all tepid. Even the soup which was in its own supposedly heated electric tureen was barely warm. Dishes which were just delivered from the kitchen were not hot. Every chicken dish, except for the chicken skewers, was totally dried out. The fish dishes were all very fishy smelling except for the mussels and the octopus. The stewed lamb, pork and beef dishes were acceptable but not memorable. Supposedly the nights had themes but had we not asked them what the themes were at the Concierge desk it would have been difficult to tell. Just to elaborate, on Greek night you couldn’t find moussaka nor any dessert with filo dough. • Being from the US, we decided to do our one table service dinner on Mexican night. So we made a reservation and went to Elia. The service was very good but again, the food was barely warm (given that we were sitting where we could see the food as it came out of the kitchen this was perplexing). My daughter and I had beef cheeks which were stewed and OK but the beef was served over a supposedly smoked eggplant puree which was the most unappealing brown color you can imagine. "

"The property was amazing! The only bummer is the pools are unheated and is a bummer as you cant swim in the water or pools this time of year. I would wish they could at least heat the kid pool."

"We loved our stay. The room was great and the food was amazing. We were there out of season so there was not a lot of entertainment but we were expecting this. However, we had a lot of fun during our stay. "
