Top Malia Hotel Reviews

Bella Beach - All Inclusive

Bella Beach - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful hotel, very well located. At first glance, you might feel a bit of envy when arriving on site, as the hotel is surrounded by larger and more modern resorts. However, Bella Beach offers everything a family with young children could need. The buffet is exceptionally good, so in my opinion there’s no real need to book the à la carte restaurants. The only downside of our stay was a small issue with the air conditioning. That said, the staff is truly friendly, and I highly recommend this place."

8/10 Good
"Great hotel in a very good location near restaurants and the Museum. The room was very clean and the breakfast was plentiful and included a variety of breakfast choices and fresh juices. I would offer two suggestions, provide more loungers and table seating at the pool on the top floor and set up more coffee stations during breakfast."

Alexander Beach Hotel & Village Resort

8/10 Good
"The hotel is nice and clean with some good restaurants and bars. The Lemongrass Asian restaurant is especially good for sushi. The staff are friendly. During our stay the majority of guests were either young families with small children or couples aged 60+ so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere. The spa is good, however the staff had a very “hard sell” approach when trying to get you to book treatments, which we felt slightly off putting. They also didn’t have a price list and seemed to make them up on the spot. The resort the hotel is situated in has a lot on offer though, and the beaches are great."
