Sarpidon Apartments

"What a lovely stay!! Dora and Craig are amazing, such welcoming staff. Came on a girly holiday - out of season but still stuff to do! Old town is beautiful and the Malia strip is about 15 min walk. The food was lovely, good portion and cocktail choices are big. The rooms are spacious, well updated and very clean, it wasn’t noisy where we was! Hotel is lovely! Deffo recommend. Only bad thing I would say is you have to pay for aircon and don’t get fresh towels. Have to wait two days x"

"Pleased with the experience here at the The Sarpidon. I found it to be very clean, friendly and as a solo traveller( 3rd time in Crete) , the clientele is made up of plenty of frequent visitors who were wonderful to meet and chat too. The lovely Anne and Peter, Jane and Michelle and the hilarious Marie from Ireland - in promise I will return the glass 😇. The rapport the staff have with visitors is priceless. You could have paid 10 times the cost and still not received the attention and friendliness that I feel I had received here . Apologies to Dora who had to chase me down the street because I forgot to pay for my last snack - 100 m sprint better than an Olympic event. So sorry Dora 🙏. Won’t happen again 🫣. Situated right in the centre of Old Malia, close to a very convenient travel route that can take you from one end of the island to the other, with buses coming every 20 minutes. Take a walk out of the west exit of hotel and you find yourself in a delightful and quaint Old Village of Malia , rich in historic buildings, some converted into stunning restaurants and picture postcard beautiful streets. Sarpido also offers delicious meals and drinks reasonably priced and plenty on offer . The beach is in walking distance about 400 m or so but the beach on Malia is squeezed with so many sunbeds you’re near on top of each other - preferred the lovely cove at Hersonnisos 24 or around the pool the days I wasn’t off exploring. Sarpidon is ideally situated, surrounded by a stunning backdrop of mountains yet has everything you need for a memorable, relaxing holiday . Highly recommend. Keep Euros and change . Much preferred than card ."

"Room was very nice. The site is well maintained. Good selection of food but close to many restaurants for eating out, above all the staff make it a great leisurely holiday NO KIDS during my stay. What’s not to like. Clean pool and good prices."
