Just spent a fortnight at the Anastasia,what a wonderful hotel.The staff were first class, nothing was to much trouble for them and they would go out of their way to help you.
The room setting is fantastic, being either single or two story accommodation, every one with a view either of the sea or mountains. The rooms had adequate facilities including a refrigerator and air conditioning, which was most welcome in the heat (30s) most days. It was a pleasure to eat both breakfast and dinner outside under the verandas. The food is a buffet menu with plenty of variety both for breakfast and dinner, the tendency being to over eat for the first couple of days because you want to try everything.The bars and restaurants are all with easy walking distance even for those a little unsteady on their feet ( I mean us old un's. not those with who had to much Raki )
For a pleasant day out take the local Noddy Train (five mins walk from Alexandria) on a trip up into the mountains to the village of KRASSI. Fantastic views, but beware of the locals, all they want to do is share their Raki with you. Its made in the village.(3 Euros a bottle, it will blow your brains out if your not careful) TIP for the Noddy train get the back seat.

This is a great hotel and I personally couldn't find anything to complain about during my stay. It's clean, good value for money, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and quiet yet close to everything you need (e.g. nightlife, restaurants etc). The food was average but there was always a large selection in the buffet so it was nearly impossible not to find something you liked. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.

Stayed for two weeks half board in the Anastasia Hotel in July 2006. Lovely hotel. Room was a very good size, air conditioner was easy to operate and the room was spotless. We also had a lovely view of the sea which was about 5/10 minute walk away. Hotel food was good and varied over the two week stay. The staff were very friendly. From the hotel to the main street in Stalis was about a 5 minute walk. Stalis has some lovely tavernas, restaurants in which we had lunch, and some nice shops. Stalis is about 15/20 minute walk away from Malia - but plenty of shops to keep you amused on the way. The hotel had an entertainment programme, crazy golf for the kids etc., and a poolside bar. It was about 5 minutes to the beach where you could hire loungers, brollies etc., There were also a couple of places at the beach where you could get lunch. The walk to Malia along the beach was about 15 mins and in July the Malia beach was full of 18-30s. The Stalis beach was quieter and plenty of room to spread out. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

I stayed at the Anastasia for 2 weeks with my boyfriend and we enjoyed it so much. The hotel staff go out of their way to help you and the rooms are very spacious and clean, and the air con and fridge are free. We didnt eat at the hotel every day as there are so many restaurants to go to in stalis, however the food we did have in the restaurant was very good. Again, the service at this hotel is excellent, johan in particular was very friendly and we had many laughs with him at the reception desk when we came in during the early hours.
The hotel location is ideal, as you don't hear any road noise from the rooms and you can easily walk into Stalis or Malia. I found it is better to stay in stalis rather than Malia as I dont think you would get much sleep after a night out, I would recommend having a meal in malia old town, it is so different to the main strip and the restaurants are great,
As for the Hotel Anastasia, we will hopefully go back again.
