“Great Location, Sweet Room and Lovely People”

I found the people at Neon so helpful, kind and generous. It is a family-run hotel, and when I came downstairs each morning, they greeted me like a friend.

I found the people at Neon so helpful, kind and generous. It is a family-run hotel, and when I came downstairs each morning, they greeted me like a friend. When I had to do some really onerous paperwork that required printing lots of pages, signing and then scanning them back, it took ages, and the woman who helped me (and did everything but the signing!) was endlessly patient. When I needed clear directions to the bus, when I decided to stay another week on the day I should have been leaving, the folks at Neon smoothed the way, solved the problems and always with good cheer. One big reason I stayed the extra week was the feeling of being in a place where people cared. I am only sorry that I didn't get everyone's name so I could list all the people who were so good to me! I want to thank Maria for her dry wit and great drinks, and brother Paulo (Panos?) for the milk with caramel sauce and whipped cream and Inga for her great advice and helpfulness in finding me another week's stay, and Aristea as well, and for being lovely and kind, and Mama for her luscious cookies and Papa for his kind smile and kali meras each day, and Anna, who took care of my room. The hotel is fronted by a lovely sandy beach. There were many days of good swimming in lovely clear water and many days of windy conditions so that the pool was a better idea. The pool was always pristine, and there are free sun loungers around it, with umbrellas, so, if you burn like I do, you can opt for shade. There were two kittens, being fostered by a lady who fed them 4 times a day. Watching them play was endless good fun and added alot to my enjoyment of hanging out around the pool and bar. My room was clean and spacious, and I had a view of a pool, a garden, the ocean and the mountains! (And bear in mind--I came as a solo traveller---many hotels would have stuck me in a broom cupboard and told me to shut the hell up.) Furthermore, I'd asked in advance about making sure my room had good wifi because I needed to have some online meetings for work, and Aristea arranged it for me--and it worked beautifully. Wow. I felt very safe and comfortable. Neon has the feeling of an old-style family-run resort that reminds me of my childhood holidays in Greece. The hotel has a restaurant, (you order at the bar), and my favourite was the chicken gyro pita, which for 5 Euros was a great deal. I saw some monumental salads, too. The bar was generally quiet, (80's music, not too loud) which suited me because I prefer to have conversations, and there were plenty of days where it was more enjoyable just to stay "home" at Neon rather than going into Stalis. I felt part of a family, and that's rare. I didn't want to leave! I'll be back next year.

“Visiting Stallis”

Very basic hotel but clean rooms. Everywhere outside overgrown and un loved. Grass growing over sun beds. No outside maintenance at all. Pool extremely cold and not used much. Anything ordered to eat comes from hotel next door so no snack bar. Breakfast basic continental but enough displayed. Staff very friendly and approachable but nobody seems to do anything they all sit around like holiday makers while the hotel has lots that could be done to it.Location excellent for restaurants and shops. Only 30 minute pleasant stroll to Malia.
