This hotel impressed me with its clean and spacious accommodations, perfect for a family getaway. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere, thanks to the warm and engaging staff. The pool area was a highlight, offering a great space to unwind. However, while the bar had a good range of drinks, the food left a bit to be desired. Overall, it’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy Malia's nightlife and beach, though the dining experience could be improved.
