"This was a great hotel with great amenities. The room was lovely and spacious and we had everything we needed from the staff who were all lovely. The beach is beautiful and the pools and pool areas are all well maintained. My only criticism would be that they could do with more food options for vegetarians/vegans, as everything had meat in it most days. Thankfully, the salad bar was great! All in really good value. "

"We had an amazing time staying at Mila Malia Suites. The accommodation was fantastic — clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The rooms were well-maintained, and the daily cleaner did an excellent job keeping everything spotless. The food and drinks on-site were great but also very reasonably priced.

"Lovely food and plenty of options - easy parking and Malia town was lovely- all inclusive drinks were good quality - can pay extra for more expensive options . It’s was very tidy but room cleaning is sparodic . We had a superior swim up room which was very nice but would choose a room further away from the pool bar next time and we had very noisy neighbours ( not the hotels fault- but couldn’t change rooms so lack of sleep ruined it a little for us) Would definitely go back"
