Everything was great - the room was really clean and the view was spectacular, loved waking up to the sounds of the waves. I would totally recommend it to everyone.

Beach front and short walk to many restaurants and shopping. Enjoyed the fun activities close by, with the quiet escape to this property. Staff were very friendly and service on the beach was great.

The view from our two rooms was the wonderful roaring sea. The family run hotel felt like home from home. Nothing was too much trouble. Because of the hotels position on the coast, it wasn't possible to have too many sunbeds on the beach in front of the hotel. This was not the case, the nearer you get to the centre of Malia. There were plenty of sunbeds around the clean pool, and those on the beach were very reasonably priced, unlike some of the bigger resorts that we saw. The restaurant bar served varied breakfast options and light snacks, and one could ask for something from your sunbed, and the attentive and helpful staff would bring it to you, luxury! Yanis's Freddo Cappuccino was perfect! A Ten minute walk to supermarkets and good restaurants. We would return!

Hotel is located on the beach, sunbeds around pool are free. Beach is clean, there are enough beds for visitors (6-10 euro in September) Room is not big, but have necessary equipment: mini-fridge, stovetop, kettle, spoons, etc. There is either terrace or balcony, so you may enjoy your breakfast with sea view. We spend 5 days already here and like location much: shops and taverns are in 5-10 distance walk, rent a car and travel agencies are also close to it. Room cleaning happens every day. Staff is extremely helpful.
Please calibrate your expectations: it is value for money hotel, not luxary facility.

Incredible location a few steps away from the beach Room with sea view - the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep every night Hospitable owner taking care of every guest and making sure our stay is comfortable and relaxing (he even gave us big box of milk free of charge)
Nothing! Our stay was absolutely perfect.

The pool. Water was warm and pool was clean. The beach. Location was good. Renovated bathroom. The staff Sofia and Alex. The AC. Not taking into account our neighbours, the place was quiet during night time.
The floors are thin, we could hear everything the people upstairs did (e.g walking, using the toilet, throwing up etc). The room could use more things, there were no chairs in the room, only outside. Kitchen was ill-equipped, there was no dishsoap, washcloth, oven etc. Also no shower gel. No place to wash clothes. The most disturbing part was that anyone could enter the hotel area and there were constantly people using the pool who were not staying at the hotel. We felt there was no privacy. The free chairs around the pool were really dirty. Only given one worn out pillow but you can ask for more. The lighting in the room was very poor and the water pressure from the shower very small. Our comments are just things the hotel can improve on and we are not attacking the owners. Last recommendation would be to answer people's feedback more pleasantly, these are things that can make the stay even better, the answers so far have been very rude.

Requested a quiet room overlooking beach and got it. Beautiful scenery and great beach. Convenient for grocery stores, etc. Ancient ruins are very close. Airport half hour away. Owner is very welcoming. Can get snack at hotel.
The local economy is driven by tourism so you have to live with that. Some hotels prefer that you don't walk on their beach if you are not staying with them.

Excellent location with balcony overlooking the pool and sea. The owners are super, really friendly making sure that we have everything that we need. The room is cleaned and the towels changed everyday, the food at lunch is good especially the Gyros. The location is far enough to be quiet whilst only a few minutes walk to bars and restaurants. The main strip is more of a party town but can be avoided without problems. We travelled with 3 kids and found loads to do mini golf, water sports, surfing, go-karting (all within 10 minutes walk apart from surfing 20 minute drive). I would definitely come back, the most relaxing week with kids Ive ever had.

It is the most beautiful place in Greece. The host is amazing person. He can help you with everything, staff is polite and friendly. And location is great. The beach is 10m from hotel, so you have amazing view from you room. The swimming pool is big and clean. Now it is my favorite place to have a vacation. 100% I'll come back again))
there is nothing to dislike here

Everything was perfect. The location is really great as the hotel is located next to the sea and just 10 minutes away from the center of Malia. The owner of the hotel is friendly and hospitable. He made our living even more comfortable and pleasant. The room was clean during all our time in Laplaya. Restaurant has a marvelous view on the sea. Beach is equipped with everything you need (sunbeds, umbrellas, tables and a shower). This hotel is good for those who enjoy family calm evenings and for those who prefer active night live as well. We will definitely come to this hotel again!

Hotel is one step from the beach.
The room was not clean at all! worst part was the toilet which still had yellow stains from previous guests. Dust was everywhere and pool was very dirty. I do not recommend this place.
