Malevizi Hotels from $30

We had intended doing a bit of touring but ended up spending most of our time round the pool. The layout was perfect for relaxing and the staff so friendly and obliging we felt really pampered. The food was excellent - we actually had all our evening meals there - outside by the pool.

This was our second stay at Agapi Beach (2016 and 17) three weeks August/September. Once again we could not fault the staff. Everyone seems happy and pleased to serve and nothing is too much through all levels of the staff hierarchy. The choices at each meal sitting are multitudinous and menus change daily. The Taverna at the beach has a self serve system for all drinks except spirits/cocktails and wine is available by the bottle through a self service fridge.

We arrived late and the key had been left for us but unfortunately we did not see it and pressed the bell. Despite waking the owners at 1am, we were forgiven for our mistake and the check in process went smoothly. The hotel is high up on the outskirts of Agia Pelagia with amazing views. There is a lovely pool and bar area and the atmosphere is very laid back - we found it easy to relax. We enjoy walking so the walk into town and to the beach, and the walk back was not a problem for us, but if you don't like to walk it is better to have a car - there is plenty of parking at the property. Taxis are also reasonably priced to and from town. A taxi from the airport cost us around £32. There are a few buses into Heraklion near to the property, and a supermarket and alternative place to eat within a short walk. Peggy and her daughter cook excellent home made dishes for you, but this tends to be one dish each day, which we sampled and found to be very tasty, particularly the home made potatoes. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. Rooms are quite spacious but simply furnished - there is a sofabed in the lounge and dining table/basic kitchenette but no TV or toaster/microwave which some people may prefer. Wi-fi was available in the room and was excellent. If you like a homely atmosphere, good food and stunning views, this is an excellent place. We were a bit reluctant to leave and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Loved it. Small but Great water park. Food fresh and cooked whilst you wait. A bit busy at meal times. Some guests rude... not the hotels fault though!

We returned almost a week ago after having a fantastic holiday at this hotel. The staff are very welcoming, hotel is kept clean, wide range of food available, always managed to get a sunbed, nice walk to three beaches. Various evening entertainment, the kids enjoyed some of the daytime activities. All in all we would love to return to this hotel!

We went on a family holiday in August and the weather was perfect. The hotel was very family friendly and there was lots of things to keep the children busy. The hotel even had a kids pool with slides. The staff at the hotel were excellent. They were really kind and helpful at all times. We knew our children were safe at the resort and there was security outside to ensure that only residents came in. This is a great hotel for families. The children can enjoy themselves and the parents can relax in one of the many bars, restaurants or pools. There is a lovely spa if you fancy some treatments or a massage. There is not much near the resort so if you like exploring, you may want to hire a car. Overall, a really fantastic place!

A nice hotel that gives you all you need. We stayed in in private pool room that gave unlimited access to the a la carte resteraunts. I would highly recommend this as the main resteraunt is like a school canteen. Staff overall very good apart from reception who could not be ruder if they tried .

Brilliant hotel, great staff, excellent food. Great value for money. Hotel directly on beach and offered free WiFi, safe and sunbeds. Large rooms including a fridge. Beds and towels changed daily. Holiday was excellent.
