"Det er fint."

"Visited Ikaros resort in late April with my wife and adult son, we had two garden view rooms. The resort is beautiful, very clean, with very well maintained gardens and buildings, and in a great location with its own beach and great views from the cliffs. We went all inclusive, I was very impressed with the quality and variety of freshly cooked food, always very well presented. Never had a bad meal for breakfast, lunch or evening meal across 7 days. The guys behind each bar make excellent cocktails. The à la carte restaurants are very good, the staff and chefs are very accommodating. All the staff across the resort are a credit to the hotel, very helpful and friendly. **Special mention to the lady who works in the little alcove opposite reception and rents the cars and experiences, she is a credit to this hotel, what a friendly and lovely character to chat with**. The Spa area and gym is first class, well maintained. We had a day on the beach and most around the lovely pool areas, always loads of beds available, but it was April. We had a garden view room, which was lovely, fantastic shower, cleaned to a high standard daily. I have given the resort 4 stars (would have voted 4.5). I would have definitely given 5 stars, if we had a quieter room away from the transfer drop-off area, which can get noisy during the night. Tip** ask for a room away from the drop-off, gift shop area. This is an adult only resort, very quiet, chilled and relaxing. A good mix of nationalities. I always think the best indicator for an honest review, is would I return again, yes I definitely would."

"Me and my friend have just come back from an unreal week staying in malia. The hotel was genuinely perfect lovely reception and staff. The reception area closes every night at 9pm. Location is perfect it’s situated right on the strip which is perfect for the nightlife. 10–15 mins walk to the beach and about 10 to malia old town. There’s also a big supermarket located about 5 mins away. Considering the hotel is located right on the strip the hotel is very quiet and you could not hear any noise from the strip. Air conditioning is such a reasonable price at around 7€ per day and it works amazingly. The maid was also lovely and did a really good job of cleaning the room she offered swapping the towels every other day. The pool over at the help bar, which is just across the road is perfect for what you need plenty of sun loungers and a grassed area too. The lady who works there is so lovely. You’re not allowed to bring in any food or drink from outside which is understandable as it is a bar, however we were often ok with just having a bottle of water with us. At night time they also offer some really good drink deals so would also recommend that. However, the only issue we faced was the transfer. We booked a package holiday with easyJet and our flight was a late night flight it was supposed to land around 10pm Crete time however we were delayed 2 hours and ended up getting to the location around 2am. The transfer pick up and drop off location is at the McDonalds on the strip approx 10 mins walk to the hotel. Me and my friend had to drag our suitcases through crowds of drunk people and dodge reps trying to drag us into their bars even with our suitcases. Just something to be very aware if you do have a late night flight during the busier season as this walk turns into a 20 minute due to the obstacles. 😂😭 For the price we paid Le Palme was really worth every penny we loved our stay and we would come back and stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you❤️"

"Jeg bookede denne ferie på et billigere budget end normalt, og efter at have trækket gennem mange anmeldelser var jeg virkelig ikke sikker på, hvad jeg kunne forvente, men jeg var så glad, vi valgte at blive her! Værelset var smukt og ren som forventet, vi var en familie af 4 og alle havde enkeltsenge, som tbh ikke var slutningen af verden 😂 Der var køkken og apparater i rummet til at lave mad og lave egen mad i lejligheden, der var stor. Vi havde to store balkoner, som også var store.Smuk jord, 2 pools og mange solsenge, stor vibe og alle inklusive gæster var så respektfulde og venlige.Blandt folkeslag af familier og unge, men støj var ikke et spørgsmål. En stor plus var personalet, de var virkelig ekstraordinære, og de gjorde rejsen endnu bedre - meget opmærksom og personlig! Reasonabelt prissat mad og var smagfuld, de har lykkelig time og udflugter og alt, hvad du har brug for på stedet, men også tæt på, hvis du vil udforske. Kun nede var bruseren, gardin og størrelse var lille - jeg fandt senere ud af, at du kan få en opgradering så ville jeg anbefale, hvis det var muligt, sent ankomst efter 1am om morgenen skal til 1pm at checke ind - dette er mere af et feriefly spørgsmål, da de er Jeg fortalte os ikke det, så ikke hotellerne skylder sig, men def værd at bemærke. Beliggenhed var også perfekt, let at gå til stribe eller andre lokale steder, stor for jogging om morgenen, hvis du kan lide den slags ting 8211; ville anbefale at spise i den gamle by mest bestemt og mange udflugter værd 8211; strande er smukke Og de lokale er smukt meget venlige og smilende mennesker, jeg ville dø af at gå tilbage."

"Stayed here with a friend in June and absolutely loved it. The room was big, super clean, and had a private balcony with an amazing sea view—waves, stars, even a little chapel on an island. Total peace and privacy. We slept with the screen door open every night—no bugs, no AC needed: just the sound of the sea. The fridge was convenient, and in the pool bar drinks and meals are available. Staff was lovely, even served us a late meal when we arrived around midnight. Parking was easy, and it’s a great base for visiting spots like Sissi and the Minoan ruins. After exploring, we’d relax by the pool or garden—no loud music, just sea breeze. Malia’s restaurants are close by, and at walking distance. Just a small wish? A couple of hooks in the bathroom and a luggage stand would be handy. But that’s just nitpicking—this place is a gem."

"Lejlighederne selv er rummelige og velholdte og spotlessly ren, med håndklæder og ark regelmæssigt ændret og rødme fjernet dagligt.Familien er alle meget velkommen og gæstfri. Som i beskrivelsen ovenfor er der mange gentagne besøgende med nogle tilbage i mange år.Vi vil helt sikkert vende tilbage.Beliggenhed er stor ved kanten af den gamle by og inden for let adgang til restauranter og supermarkeder, caféer og butikker. Et godt sted at udforske og gå."

"Two nights room rate 500 euros not refunded me"

"We used the spa amenity, together with my wife. We had the deep tissue massage as we are both working at a desk. The experience was amazing, so relaxing and very well carried through. Alexandra was the one who took care of me and she applied the right pressure, hit all the great spots and kept asking if all is well. Would go again 100% and recommend it to other guests as well"

"We are currently staying at Villa Mare Monte, what a find. Beautiful location close to the Old town. The staff are so lovely nothing too much trouble , very friendly and accomodating . The rooms are spotless and bedding , towels etc are changed frequently. The pool area is beautiful and you can watch the goats on the mountain. I would say this is a gem of a find. Well done to all the staff and owners. Hazel and Sandra x"
