Hotel Frixos & Apartments

in Malia , Crete T rating: 2

 
  • Lively location
  • Pool with swim-up bar
  • Gym, sauna and steam bath
In the heart of Malia’s buzzing strip, this lively property is a great base for enjoying the town’s beaches and nightlife.
It’s the friendly atmosphere that draws guests back to this place year after year. The hotel is especially popular with the younger crowd, particularly in June, July and August, when Malia is a hive of activity. During the day, the hotel’s swimming pool is the place to be. The swim-up bar keeps the drinks flowing. There’s a good-sized terrace and a couple of grassy lawns out here, too, so you’ll always find a sunbathing spot.

The hotel’s setting is another reason it’s so popular. A five-minute walk away from the main strip, it’s tucked between shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It’s only about a 15-minute walk from a couple of beaches, too.

In terms of the bedrooms, they’re fairly simple, but feature all the essentials like comfy beds, TVs and balconies. Each one has a fridge, kettle, toaster and cooking rings, too, so it’s easy to rustle up your own meals. And because all the rooms are in low-level apartment blocks spread out around the grounds, they offer plenty of privacy.

Last but not least, a word on dining. The hotel offers up buffet breakfasts at the pool bar each morning, where snacks are also served throughout the day. When it comes to evening meals, meanwhile, you’ll find everything from pizzerias to Chinese restaurants.

Your guide to Malia, Crete

“Crete’s legendary party spot, buzzing Malia has everything you need for round-the-clock fun, including a knockout sandy beach.”

Malia has two faces to it. One is its original, old inland village awash with traditional Cretan serenity and charm. The other is big, brash, party-mad, non-stop Malia. And that’s the one that wins the day. Famous for its relentless energy, modern Malia doesn’t hold back when it comes to any of the holiday essentials. On Crete’s northern coast, it boasts a ravishing beach of satiny sands and vivid blue waters that’s quite literally, packed with action. A never-ending parade of watersports rentals offering pedaloes, ringos and jetskis run its length. Sun beds cover every patch of sand, backed by rows of cheerful beach bars and the occasional volleyball court. And the young crowds who come here in July and August to make Malia their own, lie immobile on their loungers, dozing off the night before. Away from the sands, the main ‘strip’ pulsates with bars, pubs and music spots with one mission in life – to supply full-on fun. In between, you’ll find a multitude of restaurants of every conceivable type and size, from Mexican, English, Chinese and Indian to even the occasional Greek taverna. When you fancy escaping, hop on a bus to quieter Stalia or Hersonissos with its picturesque harbour front. Or jump on board a boat and visit some of the beautiful beaches peppered along the coast. Make sure you’re back for Malia’s nightlife, though. From the moment the sun disappears here, its centre throbs with life. Head for a bar to start with, and then dive into the high-energy clubs and dance spots that take over when everything else closes. Be prepared to stay up late – the nightlife here ends at sunrise and not before.
