데솔레 말리아 비치 - 올 인클루시브(Dessole Malia Beach - All Inclusive)

Excellent hotel, spotless, rooms spacious with balcony and fridge. Food and drink as you'd expect on all inclusive. Two lovely pools, one with steps to the beach. Plenty of shops and bars very close if you're going for a wander. It was mainly german/French people there during our stay. There was entertainment 2 nights out of 7 at the beach bar. The violinist was superb, the band not so much. We didn't go to the other entertainment. Points to note: I noticed there's no all all inclusive ice cream for kids outside meal times. The all inclusive stops at midnight sharp.

I recently visited Aegeo Spas which is located directly in the hotel and had a wonderfully rejuvenating experience. I had two sessions so far and booked a third one before departure. I received a fantastic relaxing back massage from therapist Paraskevi. The day after I had a pleasant scrub, this time from therapist Dimitra. The experience was capped off with a relaxing facial massage that was both gentle and rejuvenating. The staff were professional and attentive, ensuring a serene and therapeutic atmosphere throughout my visit. I can recommend Aegeo Spas to anyone looking for a relaxing spa treatment. Thanks and best regards, Julia

Spotlessly clean, everywhere, rooms comfortable and in a amazing location, friendly helpfully staff and good quality food, what's not to like, entertainment did the best with what they have but would like to of seen some traditional Greek dancing, mainly aimed at French and German but were made very welcome, we went in early May where age group is mainly 30 and above and was lovely and peaceful, but was told in June it is party time and very busy, taxi from airport was 55 euros, would I return, ..........definitely

The Dessole Malia Beach Hotel is situated in a perfect location that is easily accessible to all of the popular tourist attractions in Crete. One of the best things about this hotel is the stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea from the rooms and the hotel's surrounding areas. The hotel's staff were friendly, especially the entertainment staff. The hotel boasts of excellent amenities such as a large outdoor pool, fitness center, and a spa where guests can relax and rejuvenate. The rooms are spacious and clean however our room was depressing due to tired old decor and furniture, which is a shame as the rest of the hotel was beautiful. I wouldn’t recommend the food at all, as being a vegetarian there was no variety whatsoever, and the food wasn’t labelled either which made it difficult to determine what I could eat. Overall I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a hotel that has a good location right on the beach with a good pool, however due to outdated rooms and uncomfortable bed ,I personally wouldn’t return unless they renovated the rooms.

A gorgeous hotel! Amazing & stunning views for everyone to see! Sea view, pool view, beach right by the pool, restaurant has amazing food & staff in the hotel & restaurant are super friendly, super amazing & all round absolutely lovely!! Would definitely recommend & come back here!

Nice hotel in a perfect location. The variety of food is enough, everyone will find something for themselves. Clean and warm pool. The staff will always help you to find free sunbeds. The animation team is amazing, you can't get bored with them. Excellent activities during the day and the night shows are even better. The rooms are cleaned daily.

Ive coming to malia for 30+ years my family are Greek/from heraklion I grew up here as a child but moved to the uk later on, for the past 4 years I've been using dessole day passes occasionally as I've started bringing my daughter and the pool/beach and mini disco is good for entertaining her but the past 3 times I've used it this week have put me off forever i will not return and will not recommend to my friends back in the UK! The most passive aggressive guy on the gate needs a reality check! Manners cost nothing and being escorted round the place and pointed at is so down right rude and disrespectful also last night pretty much told to rummage through a bin on hotel ground to get the wristband that you have to take off to get your passport back. Wouldn't mind but the past 3 nights I've been this week nothing was said only last night and was given some lame excuse of people go through bins. I'm not being funny but you can't even get on hotel property to buy a wristband due to the extremely rude and disrespectful gate man so highly doubt Joe Public is allowed to walk on hotel ground Willy nilly searching through bins. Most degrading moment of my life having to search a bin with my phone light especially as when your cutting them off your also throwing them in the bin. Just fyi in future don't just categorise someone as a 'British tourist' and teach your staff some manners.

It was great experience especialy the villagi bravo team. Food was excellent, staff polite, hotel has newr part older part but was clean and well kept. Animators for kids excellent, evening events great, nothing to complain about.

Good points: - clealiness : the room was cleaned every day - food: various - the resort is big, well maintained and on the beach - it has its own beach - close to the centre of Malia, near clubs and shops, but the location of the hotel is protected from all the noise Bad points: - the rooms urgently need renovation - only one spare socket ( not enough for all the gadgets of a family) - the AC is old ( it seemed it worked as a big fan recirculating the air in the room) - no toiletries ( soap, shampoo,etc) - although there is a fridge in the room, the fridge îs empty , no minibar But the big PLUS is the sea and the sand- amazing.
