Good location apartment on the Beach Road. Bus stop near 300-400 m, sea across the road. Helpful staff, big room but not new.

Nice clean hotel, in the centre of Stalis, few minutes walking from a big sandy beach. Everything was perfect.

Latania is presented as a Hotel in Malia (a hot destination for a traveller) but it is actually in Stalida. It is mentioned that Latania is in Stalida but Malia is also conveniently mentioned to give the impression it is near Malia. You will need a bus to go to Malia. Most bus drivers do not even know the correct bus stops you may need. Buses only run until midnight. There is no way to come back from Malia other than on foot. When I was there the taxis were on strike too. Stalida is very slow and empty. Latania will give you a list of things you need to know when you get there. Aircondition is extra, you need to get your own toilet paper, you get clean towels every 3 days. You pay extra for a small safe, they wont let you use the pool after 8. I left the key at the reception when I came back I had to wake up the owner to get it. There is however a sign that says that after 8 you can ask for the key at the bar. There was never anyone at the reception when I needed them. They did not know how to use the credit card machine. They only take cash.
