Guest reviews for Dessole Malia Beach – All Inclusive

Everyone (1)
4 out of 5
This was a very good hotel because it was on the beach with excellent facilities, e.g. a Taverna restaurant which was opened when the main restaurant was closed as an additional place to eat on site. The main restaurant food was very very good with varieties each day. The hotel grounds was beautiful with its own natural herbs gardens! Good children play area too. The nearby shops and supermarkets was very handy. However, we do believe that this hotel could easily become a 5 star rating if the management looks into the styling and general fixtures, decor and furniture of the bedrooms which although Greek style seemed very basic! On a whole it was very good value for money and we had a lovely 8 day stay and a very memorable stay for our first time in Crete.
