Didn't expect too much for our money and after reading tripadvisor were suitably dubious. However, were pleasantly surprised with the welcome shots and the apparent friendliness of the staff. This was short lived. After our first night out we came back to find our air con broken, when we went to complain Manos verbally assaulted us and charged us €100.... More

Me and seven friends went here last year. The hotel looks great from the outside however the rooms are scummy, the bath rooms are filthy and the rooms stink. On arrival we received bad news that the Manos had managed to overlap our booking with another group of people. So for the first 3 nights all seven of us were... More

A clean hotel with friendly staff. It is close to the Beach road where all the clubs and restaurants are, but it's also situated in the old town of Malia so if you want peace and quiet some nights and a lively one at other times this hotel gives you the best of both worlds. I would definitely stay here... More

I stayed here quite some time ago (2008) and it was incredibly pleasant to stay. Everything was clean and tidy. The food and bar was great. Although a little bit if a trek away from the clubs, it was great for walks, great for soaking up the views and made for amusing conversations. My only gripe is that while the... More

stayed here in August 2008 with 4 other mates. It as ok, nice and clean and the pool was nice. I do resent having to pay 30 euro fine to bring a girl back though. but not the end of the world. generally a nice enough place to stay, maybe a little far to walk to the main strip though.

So we read the reviews when we booked it and all looked good. However, when we read the new ones the day before we were due to fly out there and I was considering 'misplacing my passport'! Honestly though we needn't have worried. 7 boys, 6 girls, some couples, ages ranging from 17-24 and we all had a brilliant time.... More

Me and my partner holidayed at the Real palace for a week, arriving on the 25th September. We were a little apprehensive about how we would find the apartments and owners, as we read quite a few negative comments on trip adviser about the place, but we really needn't have worried. The apartments are immacualate.The whole complex was built in... More

Have just returned from a very enjoyable weeks stay at the Real Palace.....great place, nice quiet location in lovely grounds, spotlessly clean, lovely pool, good food (the club sandwich was delicious) and the best banana milkshakes ever. A short walk into town, and the strip (10 min walk), with some lovely places to eat nearby in the old village. Kosta... More

Do not be put off by the bad reviews on here, these must be from very arrogant people, who don't respect other people. We as a grooup of 4 girls stayed here for an extremlly enjoyable 10 day stay. The hotel is really clean, and the rooms are of a good size. Costa and Manos are really friendly and look... More
