Stayed before and in these Covid times wanted somewhere familiar to call home for the week. As lovely and welcoming as we remembered it. Spotlessly clean rooms and outside areas. Stunning settings, just below the mountains, and a view down to the town and sea.
Staff can't do enough for you, let us check out late, no fuss.
15 mins walk to old Malia and its great choice of restaurants. All the restaurants know of Mare Monte, so well established.
Lying by the pool, trying to pick out the goats on the hillsides when you hear their bells clanging, idyllic.
Will definitely return.

Walking distance of old town with lovely restaurants or Malia central with associated bars, clubs and eateries.Staff were really helpful. Need a car/bike/quad to explore island which is bigger than people think. The rooms have a television BUT no English channels - disappointing given the number of Brits and English speaking tourists in Crete. Overall it was a great holiday.

The hotel is located in the hills back from Malia and Stalis which makes it very quiet. It does mean however that the access is up hill, so I would suggest hiring a car or quad bike/taking taxis. However walking to Malia old town is perfectly easy, and is a ten minute gentle downhill walk.
The hotel is small and so easy to get sunbeds, and isn't busy by the pool area. The pool bar is also reasonably priced, and cocktails in the evening are excellent for €6-7, using all branded spirits.
The room we had overlooked the sea and malia which was fantastic. Room was clean and the bed very comfortable. The only negative of the entire hotel was that the bathroom was small, particularly the shower, as the curtain wrapped right around as the shower was in a corner, and would therefore stick to you when washing.
I would therefore highly recommend the hotel, as the bathroom was still clean and perfectly functional, and the rest of the hotel was superb.

Good size clean triple room, very small ensuite with tiny shower area (no cubical).
Hardest bed l have ever slept on, gave up after two nights and slept on third childs bed.
Freezing cold room, no heater even in November and 6c at night. Just one sheet and blanket on bed. Every area open to eliments, so breakfast area cold and draughty. TV in room but only has BBC news in English. Showers are heated by solar power so cold in mornings or all day if cloudy.
Rooms are reasonably priced, but you have to pay for everything else.
Continental breakfast 7€
Evening meal 15€
Barbeque night 17€
Pool table charge
Air Conditioning 7€ per day
Damaged our hire car on the car par area, as rain washed away the gravel and earth.
Its about 3 miles to beach and mile up steep hill from bus stop. Only thing from a garden view room is mountain and goats.

A lovely hotel, in a scenic location with a view of the mountains. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The hotel staff were very friendly and approachable, very nice people who know their guests on first name basis. It is a nice retreat and is within 10 minute walking distance to the nice beach. This hotel is away from the toy town of Malia, which is full 16-19 year old party goers on quad bikes. The one thing that let this hotel down was again these exceptionally loud young ones, who were resident and took to shouting every night between 3am-5am.
4.0
The room was basic but good. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Nice and quiet on the outskirt of Malia ad we had a fantastic view from our room.

From the moment we stepped off the aircraft in Crete we were greeted by a friendly drive sent from the hotel and on our 30 minute drive to the apartments he was an awesome tour guide, pointing out landmarks and things to do in the area. Upon arrival the driver took our bags and found the owner of the apartments and made sure we were all checked in and settled. The owner, Koula, showed us to our room and around the complex, gave us complimentary drinks while our room was prepared, we were 3 hours early, and we played mini golf before heading to our room less than 20 minutes later. The food at the apartments was delicious all home grown and made, couldn't get enough of the olives, feta cheese and the tomatoes, ok the greek salads the made fresh were the best we had ever had! All the staff at the apartments were wonderful, we were made to feel like family from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, with the staff coming out to say good bye. Our apartment was clean and had everything we needed, the views from our patio were amazing too. The pool area was welcoming and there was more than ample space to relax on a sun lounger and to play in the pool. My family and I are looking forward to visiting again and we strongly recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation.

Koola was an absolute gem and just made you feel like home. She is such a sweet heart, has the most amazing dream in the homes she created there and the intellectual conversations we had, as I sipped on some Ouzo, just gave the perfect Greek experience. I will surely return and revisit again someday. Thank you ma'am, I promise to keep trying to make the world a better place.

The owners were so nice. We stayed over Easter and they very kindly invited us to eat with them. They hotel was clean, beautiful, and close to town. The only problem was the heat wasn't the best but we had lots of blankets. I really had no complaints. They even gave us fresh fruit from their garden.
