Netter Kurzurlaub im familiären Ambiente
Pros:

Lage direkt am öffentlichen Strand, wo die bequemen Liegen und Schirm von der örtlichen Strandverwaltung um 10€ pro Tag gemietet werden können. Am hoteleigenen Pool sind diese inkludiert. Alles sehr familiär geführt. Es gibt im gesamten Bereich, auch im Zimmer WLAN, ausreichend stark auch für Netflix am Handy. Zimmer im EG haben eine schöne große Terrasse und eine tolle Aussicht. Klimaanlage kann jederzeit individuell betrieben werden. Gekocht wird bis 18.00 Uhr, in der Umgebung gibt es genügend Restaurantauswahl, eine Konditorei bzw. Bäcker, kleiner Supermarket, etc. Für paar Tage würde ich gerne wieder kommen.

Cons:

Manche jungen Hotelgäste können beim Heimkommen von der Partymeile zeitig in der Früh ganz schön laut sein, aber meist ist dann bis Nachmittag absolute Ruhe :-) und das ist fast in allen Hotels in Malia...;-)

Lovely family hotel
Pros:

The family owned hotel exceeded my expectations and was certainly an amazing value for money. In particular, the location of the hotel was perfect due to it being on the beach and near the strip but still very quiet and enjoyable to stay in. Additionally, the fact that the hotel was family owned gave it a homely vibe and the staff were amazing in helping with anything you need!

Cons:

There are very few things I can complain about due to the fact that this hotel is a great value for money.

Pros:

Я відпочивала у багатьох готелях в Малії, але LaPlaya підкорив мене своєю атмосферою і комфортом. Шикарні світанки та закати. Персонал дуже привітний, власник готелю щоденно контролює та цікавиться чи все вам подобається. Кімнати прибирали майже щоденно і за 7 днів нам три рази змінили постільну білизну, хоча нам вистачило б і одного разу). Дуже комфортні ліжка. В номері було все необхідне для приготування їжі. У готеля є великий паркінг, чистий басейн з ліжаками. Доречі, на пляжі LaPlaya також дуже комфортні ліжаки з товстими матрасами і вартість найнижча на усьому узбережжі Малії, лише 10 євро за два ліжака. Розташування готелю також дуже зручне, навкруги тиша і ніщо не заважає спати вночі. До центральної вулиці з клубами пішки приблизно 10 хвилин. LaPlaya місце куди хочеться повертатись і ми обовʼязково це зробимо. Щіро дякуємо❣️

Not worth a penny
Pros:

Nice beach and view

Cons:

Dirty dishes, massively stinking drains, warm water is rarely, sheets and towels stained. Dirty walls and curtains. I got yelled at for reporting the broken bathroom door at the pool in front of my toddler (and being pregnant).
Would not recommend this place. I have no idea how they got all these good ratings. Go spend your money elsewhere

Все чудово!
Pros:

Все було чудово!
Вид з тераси гарний, пляж чистий, немає каміння в морі, можна спокійно відпочивати.
До центру міста йти 7-8 хвилин. На території можна смачно і не дорого поїсти.

Heerlijke vakantie gehad (tweede keer) in La Playa.
Pros:

De locatie is geweldig, fijn zwembad, direct aan het strand en voldoende mooie ligbedden bij zwembad en strand. Hele vriendelijke mensen en lekker eten en drinken bij de beachbar!

Cons:

Het appartement is prima. Geen luxe maar prima. Om de dag schone handdoeken en elke dag werd de prullenbakjes geleegd. Dus dat is top. Wij waren 12 dagen en wat wel jammer is dat we geen enkele keer schoon bedlinnen hebben gehad. Verder ontbrak een bezem of iets dergelijks om eens het zand van het strand weg te vegen in het appartement. Maar dat is het dan ook. Verder top!

Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Pros:

Tolle Lage direkt am Strand. Sehr ruhig gelegen und trotzdem ist man fußläufig schnell im Geschehen. Bars, Restaurants, Supermärkte und Autovermietungen in der Nähe. Unser Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss mit Terrasse direkt am Pool mit Blick auf das Meer - besser geht es nicht! Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und gaben uns auch Tipps für Ausflüge und Unternehmungen. Handtücher wurden täglich gewechselt.

Cons:

Wenn man etwas kritisieren möchte dann die fehlenden Ablage Möglichkeiten im Bad sowie keinen vorhandenen Föhn. Das Mobilar ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
