We highly recommend Notos Heights Hotel . We had a great stay there. The accommodation was clean and stylish. Initially we were given a different room, unlike the description (without sea view) on the ground floor, but the staff were quick to help us with this, and we changed room (to one matching the description). Ioanna at reception was particularly helpful.
The location is great, so close to Malia old town (about 5 min walk), which is stunning and so charming, with so many great Tavernas. It’s also close to Malia town itself and the strip (but we didn’t go there often). The beach is about 25-30min walk from the hotel to the beach area. It’s also well worth a visit. If you don’t like the beach the pool area should be more than enough.The pool area is amazing and there’s an incredible view from there.
The breakfast included is delicious too. There were fresh fruits and salads, cold meats and cheeses, yoghurt, pastries and other tasty treats (we particularly loved the Bogatsa- hope I’m spelling that right).
All the staff from the reception, to the pool bar/restaurant, and the cleaning staff were so lovely, helpful and accommodating.
The little touches of the free airport transfer, and bottles of water daily were an added bonus, and really appreciated.
If you want a great place to stay and relax, as well as to explore Malia and the surrounding areas, Notos Heights is the place to go.
(We didn’t get to meet George himself but he was quick and helpful when communicating).
