Delicious Dining Experience

I absolutely loved the food at Cretan Malia Park. The variety was very nice, especially at their Mediterranean restaurant Mouries where breakfast was a feast! I enjoyed unique dishes, and each meal felt special. The buffet offered plenty of options, so we never got bored.

Relaxing Spa Day

The spa experience at Cretan Malia Park was fantastic! I indulged in a de-stress massage at the outdoor pagoda, which was incredibly refreshing. The setting added to the serene atmosphere, and the staff were very professional and made me feel truly pampered.

Kids Loved It!

My kids had the best time at the Little Explorers kids club! They participated in fun activities and even had a nightly disco. Agnes, who managed the kids' zone, was amazing and really engaged with the children, making it a highlight of our stay.

Comfortable Accommodations

Our room in the garden bungalow was perfect for our family. The layout was well thought out, allowing us to store all our luggage out of sight. Plus, the bathroom was spacious enough to accommodate showering our little ones without any hassle, making our stay comfortable.

My stay was absolutely wonderful! The hotel offers a stunning beachfront with friendly staff eager to help. I particularly enjoyed the clean and comfortable atmosphere. However, the food prices seemed a bit high for what was offered, and the number of families with young children might not suit everyone. Overall, it was a great experience!
