Philoxenia Hotel & Spa

A real quiet place to stay, local cucine, simply and super food. Friendly people. Great barman . Even is in center of the local movies no noises in the night. A real surprise. A real good place to relax , good cocktails. The beach is a walking distance.

We rested in this hotel with a group and everyone was very satisfied. The beach is close and sandy, the swimming pool is ok for refreshing. The food and service are very good. Everything is available 24/7. There were also live performers a few times. All in all, a good place to stay in Greece.

Staff very polite and helpful. Sunbeds always available at the pol and no towel wars. Swimming pool was never crowded, was clean and close to the bar/restaurant. Spa was great. Cocktails were delicious. Food was great and buffet breakfast is more than enough for all. Swinging chairs in bar area was a nice touch giving a relaxing vibe. My kids loved them. Our family rooms were spacious with comfortable beds and room/beds suitably cleaned 3 times during our stay. Hotel is a short 10 minutes walk from a grossly overpacked beach at the entrance area because all the resort hotels put their sunbeds right down to the sealine (which is illegal in Greece). But a 5 minute walk further up the clean beach was plenty of free sand and sea areas. Everything in Malia including restaurants, supermarkets, bars and souvenir shops were only a short walk from this hotel. I recommend this safe, secure hotel and if I were to return to this area I would certainly stay there again with my young kids. They enjoyed it.

Beautiful place to stay and have a relaxing holiday The pool is clean The swings are cozy The food is great The drinks are amazing , many varieties of cocktails and shots. The most important it's the staff .I've never met a staff this friendly , the owner is great , we had some drinks with him. The bartenders are very proffesional and they have a lot of humour. Noroc from Romania!

We visited the spa 2 and 3 years ago for €10 each for the day. This year we went to be told the spa was €10 per person per hour. There are no longer sun loungers around the spa pools and the place was empty. When we enquired about the hotel pool, we were quoted charges for the day plus loungers plus parasol and a minimum food spend - we didn’t stay!

the hotel is close to the beach (5 minutes on foot)! the rooms are small but comfortable, the equipment is quite worn out, but they came and fixed the lamp hanging from the wall for the first time, the staff is very nice. cleaning, towel change ok, it's quite noisy at night, so if you're not a party person, choose a hotel further away because it's next to the party street, the breakfast is the same every day :)
