   Dear Manos, Sofia and the team.
   We had an amazing holiday last August 2019! So much so we booked for this year, and we NEVER do revisits!
   So looking forward to coming, but sadly the global pandemic has put a stop to our holiday this year.. We will be back and we will keep in touch
   Take care of yourselves and stay safe and strong x
   Best wishes The Hiscock’s x

   Stayed at the end of July for 2 weeks, it's our second time at Mikes and we will definitely be back. Our eldest son and Mother in law joined us for a week half through and both had a great time. Nothing is too much trouble for this family run hotel, they treat you like old friends right from when you arrive. We got married whilst on holiday and our "evening party" was around the pool at the bar with some fabulous people we meet there. Can't wait to come back!

    Returned from a 2 week stay at Mike's, and it was wonderful. A family run hotel and it shows, the staff are all so friendly and greet you with open arms like long lost friends. Rooms are all super clean, bright and airy with free air con. the grounds are once again neat and clean. Mama's cooking is great, please try to eat at the restaurant in the hotel, portions are large with a great price.
    It is peaceful, friendly and beautiful just what you want from a holiday!

    A fantastic holiday in superior accommodation with fantastic views of the sea. Great hospitality from all staff. Stepped off the plane in England and booked again. Came home very relaxed and best holiday that we have had for years. Would recommend to anyone looking for a very relaxed and fun holiday to book.

    Wonderful holiday. Fantastic studio apartment that had been updated with a great shower. Our room was kept spotlessly clean by hardworking staff.
    Manos, Maria and Katherine ran an excellent bar. Lots of fun and all have a great sense of humour, nothing is too much trouble.
    The restaurant in the main hotel, run by Sofia, was excellent value with great food, lovely wine and excellent complimentary cake, fruit and honeyed raki. Has anyone ever bought a sweet there?
    We will return as just can't fault the place.

    What a lovely place to spend a relaxing holiday! Everything about this place is so warm and welcoming. The staff are never too busy to give you their undivided attention on anything. It is like staying with family as Sophia, Elena and Mike are truly wonderful people. However the one thing that I would be careful with is Elena's cooking as it is all so so good I came back having put on weight!But seriously this is a great place to unwind with the pool area having plenty of space and "sunbeds" to go around. The pool bar serves food if you find yourself hungry during the day and it is all prepared freshly for you. They also serve the usual alcoholic and soft drinks,juice,frape,water,ice creams etc. The rooms are spotless, the bathrooms are wonderful having just been refurbished and the beds are very comfortable. Each room has a safe and to use it there is a fee payable in advance at reception. When there we had "bed & breakfast" booking which was varied to accommodate everyone's taste. In the evenings the restaurant opened at 5pm Greek time which is 2 hours ahead of the UK. The food is again freshly prepared to order and will alter things for you if you wish and will even do "egg & chips"! I would heartily recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun with the beach just across the road from the pool bar. We will be going again to enjoy more of the same next year! Thank you all at "Mike's" for making our stay a very happy and memorable one!

    Dear Manos, Sophia, Mama, Papa, Maria, Anka and all the staff who made our stay so fantastic I would like to say a massive thank you. Every thing has been perfect. We are now booking for next year and will deffinatley not be leaving it another 11 years!! I would also like to say a big hello and thanks to all the wonderful people we met, you all know who you are and we hope to see you again.
    
    The Hotel and appartments are very clean and nothing is to much for the staff who are really excellent. A must is the food at the hotel cooked by Mama, all food very fresh and tasty, we wanted to take her home. Sophia as the host makes you feel very welcome and at home. Manos went above and behond to help us out when we had a problem and around the bar during the day and the evenings we had many laughs with Manos Maria and Anka who are wonderful.

    How remiss of me, I didn't post anything after our stay at Mike's last May.
    
    To be honest, I was reluctant to spread the word about how great this place is - for fear of it becoming overbooked when we want to return.
    
    We have family in Crete and went to Mike's to be at a 'subtle distance' from them while we celebrated my wife's 50th birthday week.
    
    2 couples were booked for a week and 1 couple just a long weekend. After 1 day at the hotel, they changed their flights and booked themselves in for the rest of the week!
    
    All six of us have traveled extensively and all have vowed to return here as often as possible - maybe making it an annual pilgrimage.
    
    The place, the family, the location and everything is absolutely superb.
    
    Highly recommended!

    Sophia especially but Manos and the girls in the pool bar. Thanks so much for making our holiday a memorable one. It was a real pleasure in meeting you all. We all had a fantastic time. The girls absolutely loved the pool and made some great friends which we are going to keep in contact with. The food was gorgeous, the drink fab. You basically have everythng under one roof. Only one thing but thats because we all like home comforts, the beds are hard and the sink in the hotel bathroom very big, but to be honest this out ways everything as we all got used to it. Can't wait to rebook again and I am hoping to do this very soon.
    
    Sophia you were an absolute star and in alot of ways just like me, you mademus feel very welcome and really madeour holidat
    
    Love to you all

    Just had two lovely weeks at Mikes hotel. The location is perfect and tranquil. Downside the beach is full of pebbles, but the sea nice and warm. A special thanks to the girls that work behind the pool bar during the day and evening, they were always to friendly and had a smile on their faces. We stayed in the hotel which was comfortable, the downside was the beds were very hard and maybe not as clean as the apartments, but perfectly adequate. Manos was very friendly. We ate at the hotel a couple of times, but highly recommend the Black Lantern, about five minutes walk up the main road - fantastic food.

    Just had the most superb two weeks holiday at Mike's apartments .This was our second holiday at Mike's and found it just as delightful from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Manos (we christened Doctor Manos because of his daily vitamins we kept getting) and Sophie Mike & Helena are all so enjoyable to be around. Nothing is too much. We met some lovely friends and hope to be returning again next year.

    We stayed for the first time 12th June for a week. Fantastic, as good as the reports. Also thanks to Ann and keith for their company.
    5 or 6 restaurants within about half a mile. Ask about Albatross, Vines, Wave(next door) and Black Lantern (esp the curry!!) + of course Mikes Hotel.
    Mythos, hal;f litre 2.90 euros, most main courses about 7 to 10 euros. Enjoy

    To Dane Lee. Thank you for that spoke to Manos and says can get taxi from airport at about same price as locally, just hope that are not on strike !!!Although about 50 euros from airport to hotel, more expensive than what I thought.

    To Hannah, there are half a dozen restaraunts along the front near Mikes and I think 3 up on the main road but you won't beat the restaraunt at Mikes hotel for quality and value the food is SUPERB and Sophia is the best Hostess, can't wait go in July !!!!!!

90. Dane Lee
    Posted jeudi 14 juin 2012 at 23:35:00

    To D.Simpson if you email Manos directly at the apartments on the contacts link he will be able to tell you about taxis. When we went last July all the taxi drivers were on strike because of the austerity measures so it worth checking, Manos will definitely know and maybe even organise something for you

     Just loved our stay at Mike Apartments. Stayed from 11/10/11 for 2 weeks.End of the season and it rained badly a few times, the worst weather for ages we were told, but that did not matter. The apartment was just what we wanted, facing the sea, which was spectacular when the weather was bad.Manos was AMAZING, his favourite word, nothing was too much. Rena was lovely, sadly never had the chance to say goodbye to her as she left a week before the season ended.Lovely meals at the Hotel, thank you Sophia for being a brilliant hostess.Cannot fault our stay, hope to return.

     Our visit at the beginning of September was a brilliant two weeks at your magnificent hotel and apartments.
     After only two days and on my birthday I found it necessary to visit a doctor due to an infection in my eyes. Sophie went out of her way to help by organising a taxi to take me to the clinic for treatment.
     The food at the hotel was excellent and who can forget Manos and his vitamins. All the staff are friendly and efficient in every way, both Rena and Nikki in the pool bar were brilliant. We have already booked our apartment for September 4th 2012.
     We are looking forward to another great holiday at Mike's.

     If you want a realy friendly welcome then stay with the Paraskakis family. Nothing is to much bother all requests are met with an instant and positive response. The Pool bar and hotel are not only frequented by guest but also by local expats of other nationalities. This makes for a very enjoyable stay and lively evenings with lots of vitamins( Raki and Ouzo) or what ever bottle Manos picks up. We have already booked for next year and that will be our fifth stay.

     Sophia a big thank you for making Chris's birthday extra special, see you soon

     Visited Mikes for the first time on 23rd June. We have to say that everything that you read about this hotel regarding the family (& staff) is true. From the moment you enter the hotel, you are one of the family. Sophia (you are barking mad) god only knows where you get the energy from to be so jolly all day.
     This friendy relaxed nature, along with many manos vitamins soon gets into your pores and, before you know it, you have quickly gained new friends (Tony & Pauline if you are reading this, that idiot Anita has lost your number, please email). It is also wonderful how the 'regulars' (Dave Irvine's mob amongst others) soon welcome the 'Newbies' into 'the family'. It's no wonder people have been returning for many years. A big thank you to all, Yamas

     We landed much earlier this time
     Must have been just after midday,
     Then smartly into a taxi
     To Mike's on the shores of Chania Bay.
     How could we be disappointed?
     What a view from East to West,
     With mountains, sea, Olive Groves
     Oh - Didn't it feel good to be a returning guest!
     Yes, there have been some changes
     New sea front lighting and the road,
     Farmed plots remaining, much as they were
     Neither touched nor spoiled by 'progress' overload
     The scenery from North coast to South
     Is as stunning as when first seen,
     From mountain top to river bed, nature's wonders abound
     Much like a well run machine.
     We shall miss the evening meals
     Which are always a great delight,
     Lots to choose and mix and match
     Supping Ouzo and Raki well into the night.
     It does not matter what you do with your time at the Mike Hotel
     But one thing is surely certain,
     By the time you leave
     You'll be a relaxed and chilled out person.
     To Elene, Mike and Sophie
     Thanks for a wonderful Hotel,
     To Manos and Maria
     Thanks for keeping us so well!!

     Hi!!
     Well, we are back in Sunny Surrey now and missing you all very much! We had the most wonderful time, it far exceeded all our expectations (which were high!) and we have already decided to come back in October.
     As you know, it was the first holiday of this sort that we had been on and you make it the most wonderful experience for us.
     We are very jealous of everyone that is there at the moment and hope that the next few months go quickly so we can get back and see you all again as well as to top up on our Vitamins!!
     Take care and see you all soon

     My husband and I have been to Maleme before but sep.last year we tried Mikes hotel after reading the overjoyed reviews and we were not dissapointed.It´s was the best thing we have ever done.Wonderful apartments,the nicest most wonderful family owns this hotel,great food and the area is very relaxing.Not to mention the other guests.They all were lovely.Maybe it´s because they also had a great time and were relaxed.We talked a lot with an elderly couple from England.Sweetest people..The busses drives to different cities all the time so all in all it was the most wonderful holiday we have ever had. Apollo Denmark apparently has dropped the hotel,which is the stupidest thing they could ever do,but danes can book at Apollo Sweden and can travel from Copenhagen airport so no problems there.
     We´re looking forward to go to this paradise on earth again.

     When our travel agent suggested that we have a holiday at Mike's Apt, it was a stroke of genius. This was some years ago now and each time since then that we visit it gets better, if that is possible.
     The apartments are great, that situation is great and the family Paraskakis are wonderful (Mike, Elena, Sophie, Manos. Frieda) and not forgetting Maria and the very friendly cleaners, who also do a great job!!
     Health permitting, we will be back . As the Danish guests called us - the elderly couple!!
     With love and best wishes - Doreen & Peter

The hospitality and friendliness of all was exceptional. Sophia - we are missing you and Freda very much. We are also missing Mamma's cooking and the lovely Pool bar/swimming pool + Manos' vitamins.
     We WILL be back. It was the best holiday we have ever had - all the praise you get is very deserving.

     Manos, Maria and Sophie gave us so many vitamins I think we've become hyperactive!
     We had such a great time you just know we'll be back again. Having stayed in both the appartments and the hotel, we highly recommend them both. The hospitality of all the Paraskakis family is simply superb, so welcoming and friendly,they make you feel as though you too are part of the family.
     Manos, if you get this email will you say a big hello to Ian and Paul for us, we were so touched that they came to see us off on Tuesday, tell them to enjoy the rest of their holiday and not get too sunburned!
     Once again, a huge thank you for a wonderful week.

The people are lovely and the food was great. The vitamins from Manos also helped no end!! He certainly looks after you in the pool bar and it looks great at night. We loved the location and the ambience. If you choose to stay in Maleme you wont be disappointed. We met lots of people who had been coming here for years, so you cant get a better recommendation than that. I am sure we will be back! love Val and Bob

     A big thank you to Mike,Eleni, Sophia, Manos, Martina and Maria for a wonderful holiday. We were made to feel like one of the family rather than just a guest. In particular, the meals were beautifully cooked and rounded off with supplies of raki. All guests mixed socially and made a very enjoyable experience. Many thanks also to Brett, the Argo rep for his company services and ensuring that we all had a good holiday. Looking forward to returning there soon. Love to all.

     Another great week with our friends in Maleme. Manos makes the most perfect vodka and tonic supplemented with many vitamins! Our boys are in the pool from dawn till dusk - they love the place so much! We always have the best customer service and help (getting off the bar stool at the end of the night usually!) Love and thanks to Manos, Sophie, Elene and Mike and special love to Freda xx

     Another wonderful two weeks in what has become like a second home to us. What more can you get from a holiday but genuine folks wanting to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for this wonderfully warm family who work hard to ensure their guests are happy. This is real customer service the like of which you wouldn't get anywhere else. We love the place and from the amount of people who return we aren't the only ones who feel this way. Many thanks to you all at Mike's apartments - you are special people.

     What a nice place to visit at Mike Hotel & Apartments! Small, cosy und peaceful place.
     We found the hotel at Internet and the outlook their WEB-pages already gave us a confident image of their superb facilities (apartments, pool area, and location by the seaside). Probably we were the first Finns to visit the hotel (at leats according to the guestbook at the reception) even the hotel next to Mike H&A were crowded by Finns...
     We recommend warmly Mike H&A to everybody who wants seaside hotel with friendly service, good location and peacuful environment. Expecially we liked that poolbar didn't play any loud hit music, so it was easy to lay back by the pool, read the book and enjoy the beautiful environment of Mike H&A...

     Well were back home after a fantastic time in Maleme and as usual we found Manos, Sophia, Mike, Ellena and Maggie as pleasant as ever.
     We met some lovely people and also suprised our family by turning up without them knowing we were coming to Crete, that was excellent to see their faces.
     We also met Carl, Julie for the first time while we were having lots of fun in the pool with their two hooligans, Jordan & Jessica. They were great kids and fun to be with. Hope to meet them all again one day.
     Holidays are always nice but you must try Mikes Hotel and Apartments if you've never been before you wont regret it we guarantee.

     Hey Kai
     Sorry but neither Mike Rutherford or any member of Sad Cafe own any portion of Mikes place in Maleme.
     I have been there with my family on holidays going back ten years and have included a link to this website from the Cafe one. We always have a shit load of fun when we visit as do other people who return regularly. If you are around when we are there then say hello and we can have a glass of 'vitamins' and bullshit over past glories. Its a great place to have a holiday for any age!

     Hi People
     I'm coming from Germany, so I hope you can everything understand what I write here. Since 1989 I'm a big fan of Mike + the Mechanics and of course of Sad Cafe and Paul Young. I think I have each CD's and tracks of Mike and Sad Cafe which are avaiable. It was a terrible shock as he died in 2000. But my question is whats about this hotel. Is Mike Rutherford the owner? Is a member of Sad Cafe the owner? And where are these nice appartments located in Crete? In 2000 I was in Crete (Malia).
     I hope you can answer it.
     So good bye. Pherhaps we'll see us in Greece.

     We left your marvelous Hotel on the 12th of September directly for home, and since our arrival we have been busy retrieving our missing luggage, which was finally located only yesterday. Thank God, everything was there, and even for the Airline, it is still a mystery where it had gone all that time. But... all is well that ends well.
     Now, finally, the time has come to write to you and thank you for your hospitality. We did not know what to expect when we made our reservations in Maleme that we had never seen before.
     Fortunately for us we were lucky to find "Mike's Apartments"and especially Manos Paraskakis: you have been a formidable host. Your smile, your courtesy, your generosity and the friendly manner in which you treated all 6 of us in your three apartments, will never be forgotten. Our thanks go also to Michelle and Maria who were always attentive to our needs, as well to the maid we had in Rooms 308, 306 and 205 during our stay; everfything was impeccable.
     Again we thank you for making our vacation a memorable one.

     We came to Mike's place the first time in 1996. Since then we alternate our summer holidays one year travelling aroung Canada in a camper, the other year doing beautifully absolutly nothing in Maleme ! If you really want to just turn off and relax, the Paraskakis family is the best help you ever could get. Mom Elena and Dad Mike up at the restaurant, their "kids" Manos and Sofia down at the pool bar make you feel just like as at home and part of the family, only better !! This year we were travelling with my wife's brother and his wife, they enjoyed it enourmosly. My wife and me are going to back again in September, as most of our friends from the UK, also repeatedly returning. It very easy to become "addicted" to Crete and to Mike's Hotel !!!
     Would I reccomend this place ?? You bet I do !!!!

     Karen and I have visited the Mike Hotel since 1996/7, and it is Mike, Helena, Sophie and Manos Paraskakis, with Poppy and Maggie providing great support, that make a holiday so relaxing. Whether leisurely breakfasting on the terrace of the Hotel, or having a pre-dinner drink by the Pool Bar, the sunrises and sunsets will not cease to amaze you.
     Whilst the village of Maleme has a vibrant history, located west of Hania, it provides an excellent base to enable one to visit the far West and South coast(s) of the Island. Hiring motor cars (with air-conditioning) is not a problem and for the more adventurous, an 'open-top' 4x4 Jeep will take you to the isolated peninsular of Rhodopou, or over the mountains to Paleohora, an idyllic resort on the south coast. En route, you will enjoy superb natural scenery with many villages where you may stop and refresh.
     Whatever you decide, your stay at the Mike Hotel & Apartments is unlikely to disappoint you. The welcome, service and humour is abundant and freely given.
     Do be prepared for lots of puzzles by the Pool Bar, and beware especially, if you have sampled 'vitamins' for the day, which may include but are not limited to, 'Raki'. or 'Tsikouthia'! Consumption of either, tends to lose one's concentration abilities!
     Enjoy the varied Menu and do try all their traditional Cretan Cooking.
     Karen and I have enjoyed our visits so much, we are to be married not far from Maleme, during September 05. We shall of course be staying at the Mike Hotel, with eight of our family!
     What more can we say?

     Thanks to the Paraskakis family (Mike, Helene, Sophi and Manos) and their 'crew', we always have a great time at Mike's Apartments. We have been going back for 4 years running to enjoy a sunny, relaxing, fun and comfortable annual holiday.
     This year we had difficulty finding place on flights but were determined to go, so we took a long route to get there. We flew to London Heathrow from Johannesburg via Cape Town. Then we caught a taxi to Gatwick and flew to Chania via Santorini. As always we had a wonderful time.
     The apartments are very well rated so, if you are looking for friendly and hospitable, very clean, well priced, comfortable accomodation, you will love it there. We do and we'll be back!!

     Mike's was the nicest place we stayed at during our entire trip to Greece. The entire property was spotlessly maintained, the staff was extremely helpful (especially Manos), and were extremely knowledgeable about the area. Everyone was so helpful and eager to please. It is directly across from a beach, although the pool area is so welcoming and nicely laid out, you may not bother with the beach! The rooms are large and the bathrooms are spacious with lots of counterspace (and with two women travelling togther - this is a must!). The location was ideal for getting around, either into Chania or to the westcoast beaches. If you go, you must try to get to the beaches at Falasarna and Elafonisi. We intended to go to different beaches, but Manos guided us to these instead and he was right! Unbelievably beautiful beaches. I can't wait to go

     What more can I add that hasnt been explained admirably above! We have been coming here for years and to us its the best ever. We thought we were getting samey and hopped to Skiathos one year but even though it was good it wasnt on a par. The Paraskakis family are warm, friendly, courteous, humorous, extremely helpful, and treat you like their own.
     This island has so much, beauty, history, ruggedness, and so much to do that its different everytime we come back. If you want to lie on your back and do nothing, or explore the island then this is the perfect place. We will come back again, and again. Gia Mas Paraskakis!!

     Although not a huge amount to do in Maleme itself, Mikes apartments are ideally situated to be able to travel either on your own steam or by using the various excellent local transport services. The hotel and apartments will be mostly filled with folks who have been before at some time or another - such is the pull of the place and the wonderful family who own and run the establishment. It is not unheard of that people go every year, sometimes more than once! The family quickly become friends and treat you as such.
     The attention to detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible is wonderful with many thoughtful touches. They even provide you with "vitamins" to keep you happy! There is usually somebody we know visiting at the same time as us no matter when we go and its nice to renew friendships.
     For me it is a laid back, de-stressing holiday where I usually eat too much wonderful food and drink too much local wine - but then what are holidays for ?

     I have been to mike's apts since 1994 and have returned 2-3 times each year at various times of the year. what can i say apart from they are the best well maintained and serviced apts i have been to and the owners and staff are the most polite and friendly people you would care to meet, nothing is to much trouble and if they dont have something you want they will endeavour to get it to make sure you have a great time. the home cooked food at mike's hotel which is all traditional cretan food is prepared by helena the owner wife and is delivered to your table by excellent staff and always with most politeness and good manner.
     for me i will never find a place that will match the location and character of mike's apts and i will never find the service that i have recieved for the last 11 years take my word for it that this is an oustanding place to stay and you will not regret booking (you can also book direct with the owners son manos who will always reply to any emails he receives of you would like anymore info from myself dont hesitate to contact me on lord.mike@virgin.net
     i also have many pictures of the surrounding locations which im sure will tempt you to try this location
