Sunshine Garden Apts

  : The property was in an excellent location, a short walk from the beach and the strip. It was also situated amongst a variety of restaurants and supermarkets, which was very handy. We had a fantastic view of the ocean on both of our balconies. It was great value for money, didnt expect to have our bedding and towels changed as often as we did. The manager of the property was so kind and welcoming, he let us stay at the property free of charge for the entire day until our airport transfer came (despite the check out time being 12am). Would definitely recommend staying at this property if you are travelling to Malia with friends!!

  : Easy and friendly place, close to the beach, shops, restaurants and all services. Quiet place though in the tourist area. Good wifi and kitchen equipment. Convention with nearby hotel for sunbeds etc. The owner was very kind and helpful: they organised my transfer from the airport, changed immediately the kettle (not working) and me to check out a little later.
  : A small detail: shower curtain, not very practical.

  : The color enhanced photos posted by this property on Booking.com
  : Had to find another place after the first night. The owner did try to give us other options (another room, a room in another hotel owned by him), but, judging by the state of the room (bathroom especially), we refused. We did not want to risk losing more time from our vacation on other rooms managed by the same owner/company. Not sure where the positive reviews on Booking.com come from... because: - Noise from constant traffic on the street, even with doors closed. Thin walls between rooms too. - The bathroom was disgusting: the toilet seat was stained... not sure what those stains were and I do not want to know! ... the photos attached here look better than in reality. A bit of context for the very low score given: We do acknowledge that this was a non-refundable booking, but this should not be an excuse for property owners to neglect their properties in such a way! We only told the owner about the noise. We hoped to see at least part of the money back without escalation. We got a little part of the money back from Booking after showing them the photos with the toilet seat (after some longer discussions with them and with the owner), but nothing from the owner. From what I understand, Booking.com talked to the owner, but there was a meeting within the company that managed the hotel, and the outcome was: no refund because we refused the alternatives. We talked to the owner via WhatsApp, but after sending him the pictures with the bathroom and asking to reconsider and give us part of the money back, he stopped answering. Just launched a complaint with the European consumer protection service... with little hope. Maybe the owner can use the money he got from us to at least buy another toilet seat.

  : With the price everything was ok. The Manager is very Kind and there to help.
  : The first room Hygiene was too less. The second room was more better. More Hygiene

  : Very friendly host. The apartment is cleaned daily, the whole place is very clean.
  : Small shower. The air conditioning is only in one room, so it was very cold here to keep the other room cool. There were no other problems.

  : The owner was honest and decent, better then most people in Malia. Also I liked the 2 balconies and day beds in the kitchen.
  : I hated that I was given a single bed when I booked a dubble bed. Also there was no WiFi in the bedroom. So I ended up moving to the day beds.

  : Location close to a very good beach, opportunity to use sunbeds and umbrellas by the seaside and by the pool from the nearby hotel. Good value for money. Two spacious balconies. Apartments equipped with all basic utensils that you might need during the vacation. A big supermarket right next to the apartments. Also close to all restaurants and clubs, but not too close - we were not disturbed by the noise during the night.
  : Poor and not stable wifi connection, especially from the bedroom. Very small shower even for a medium sized person. The double bed was in fact not double but two small beds with a space between them filled with some blanket. Quite hard mattresses to sleep on, but that really depends on what type of mattress you prefer.
