We’ve just got back from yet another fantastic holiday on Crete. I’ve lost count but it’s at least our 10th time, if not our 12th. Over the years we have stayed in many hotels/apartments in Malia, but Melissa Apartments remain our favorite. Nothing is too much trouble for George and Ingrid, ably supported by Christina. The apartments are large, clean... More

Having booked our holiday here almost 4 months ago, Melissa apartments only filled the pool a couple of days before we arrived giving it no time to warm up. Given that they had so much notice, and the pool was one of the listed amenities I was VERY disappointed that they had not done this in advance as the weather... More

One of my travel companions has provided her own review which is far more extensive than this. However, I just wanted to make a few additional comments to supplement her review. As stated we are young professionals in our late 20s. We wanted a nice chilled break with some sun in a reasonably priced easy going apartment/location. We chose this... More

I visited the Melissa Apartments along with five other girlfriends in April 2013. We are all young professionals approaching 30, so were looking for a chilled out holiday with lots of good food, wine and laughs. Firstly, I would not advise that anyone visit Malia in April... The town is completely shut down, with only one or two eateries and... More

In my opinion, if the Hotel can not provide all facilities and basic standard then this place should not be taking bookings. I was tired of hearing that we were there Pre-season, Expect a Complimentary Lecture on arrival even if its very late and all you want to do is get into your room and sleep. Do not go in... More

We were made to feel so welcome by ingrid girgious and Christina. nothing too much trouble and the apartment was spotless clean and spacious. Each evening ingrid and glorious would sit abduction chat with us offering fruit and wine. they have various fruit trees around the property and gave us a tour as i had never seen a pomegranate tree...

Quite nice place, went with a few mates last summer. Ingrid is however very patronising for the duration of your stay. She even shouted at us for no direct reason. Good for a lads holiday but wouldn't recommend this place for a family unless you are poor

Just returned from a 2nd trip this year, didn't want to come home, can't wait to return!!! Lovely people, lovely place - can't think of anything more desirable on holiday. Ingrid and Yiorgos, ably assisted by Christina at the bar and Eleni keeping the apartments spotless make this a very special place to holiday. There are some excellent restaurants nearby... More

Absolutely amazing place, very clean, close to main strip and also traditional tavernas. This place is run by an amazing family Giorgos and Ingrid and their staff Christina and Eleni and very friendly too. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone, plenty of advice on hand if you need any information on places to eat out etc. Definitely recommend these... More
