We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, making our experience even better. We booked the jacuzzi room, which was perfect for the March weather—so relaxing! The location is great, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it super easy to get around, even late at night. The beach is just a 5-minute walk away, and Amoudara Beach was lovely. The property itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with plenty of open space. Private parking is also available. Breakfast was great, and we also had dinner at the hotel—highly recommend signing up for it! The chef takes dietary preferences into account, and the food was amazing. One of the highlights for us was how pet-friendly the hotel is. We traveled with our puppy, and the staff was so loving towards him. He had plenty of space to play, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and can only recommend staying here!

Landscape and design overall was very nice, enough space around the pool. Food was nice and traditional. But the highlight of the hotel is a waiter named Michael, he was really sweet and nice. Reception was helpful.

An amazing hotel with an incredible staff! They were very flexible and always available for any request. The jacuzzi room was a great choice, as recommended by the staff. They also suggested some excellent restaurants, which were definitely worth it, and helped us rent a car at a reasonable price. It was a lovely off-season vacation, and we would love to visit again in the summer. We’re looking forward to their recommendations!

Beautifully presented hotel and quiet and peaceful being adult only. We had an executive jacuzzi room with a lovely big balcony which really made the stay. Having our own jacuzzi was a real luxury and the rooms were well laid out so it felt relatively private. The water in the jacuzzi is changed daily so no worries re-cleanliness. Our room was large and well furnished with good double glazing as there is some noise from the main road. Very pleasant lounging around the pool too on the double cabanas and most of the time the music was at a good low level adding atmosphere but not too intrusive. Breakfast was good with a nice variety of and pleasant dinning room. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. It was so relaxing here that we gave up on our venturing further afield and just chilled here for 2 days.

Coukd not have enjoyed the stay at Malena more - Loved the rooms, I had the executive suite which had a balcony and a private Jacuzzi. Spacipus rooms, the beds were very comfortable, flatscreen TV was great and had Netflix loaded on it. Jacuzzi was on 24/7 and was so lovely to dip into day or night. The breakfast was always lovely, fresh orange juice machine, lovely freshly made granola, Greek honey, spanikopita (spinach & feta pie) loads of freshly baked breads and spreads. (General stuff like omelettes, sausages, bacon there every morning too) If you want to up your experience - get a room with a balcony, watching the sun rise and set from the hotel was very peaceful and a beautiful unexpected addition. The pool was very nice, really clean - very cold in November but that's to be expected.* Restaurant has several great options for dinner, lovely staff in all areas (reception, restaurant, bar, cleaners). 50 metres away there is a huge supermarket with all foods, drinks, snacks you could want. Bits of clothing and toiletries as well if any are needed. Across the road from the hotel entrance there's a nice cafe - a great bakery less than 2 minutes stroll. 2 or 3 decent restaurants beside the hotel. There is also a pharmacy 30 metres from hotel if you need anything. The food delivery app Wolt is fantastic if you're looking for any kind of dinner delivered. Il Pazzo - Pizzeria in Heraklion centre delivers to the hotel - beat pizza on the island* If you're a solo female traveller - when out and about - only get in taxis that have a YELLOW reg plate. But any taxi man that the hotel organizes for you is vetted and safe.* Everywhere I explored on crete takes debit card - which is really handy* whether its the market stalls in Heraklion, taxis, supermarkets, olive oil tours / experiences around the island. Authentic cooking class in Chania was well worth the day trip also.

The resort was an oasis of calm retreat. The beach is 5 min away (walking distance) and the staff was very helpful in organising a pick up at 3am from the ferry port.

Good location, close to the beach but I was expecting it to be more beachfront from the information on booking.com Excellent breakfast. Found the dishes in the evening a little over generous

Very nice apartment with a small terrace. Enjoyed the heated Jacuzzi as the water temperature was easily regulated and it was very pleasurable even the outside temperatures were already around +15 (on November evenings). Location is great if you have a car (free parking available on site), but there is also a bus stop right in front of the suites complex - so it is very easy to go to town and back using public transport. Breakfast of decent quality is served in a very nice and bright room with a view of a large swimming pool, and we especially loved the device allowing us making a freshly squeezed orange juice on our own.
