ICandy Apartments

Recently returned from a fabulous week away with my wife. We only booked this 2 weeks before flying. It was a last minute decision so that we could spent our birthdays together in the sun. Looking at reviews and photos on the website I was unsure of the decor as they showed dark wood furniture in the apartments. There was absolutely no need to worry as the studios and apartments have recently been renovated and the owner has sent TUI new photos to update their next brochure and their website. We arrived late in the evening and we were given a warm welcome from Georgia. She showed us to our apartment and gave us a discount as we paid for air con and the safety deposit box together. We went down to the 24hr bar where we were greeted by George who works the night shift. He gave my wife a free birthday drink even though in Greek tradition you are meant to buy everyone a drink if it’s your birthday! Apartment was spacious with 2 balconies overlooking the pool and extensive garden area. There are plenty of sun loungers and 4 large day beds each with their parasols. The 1st room my wife checks is the bathroom which quickly got the thumbs up. Double rainfall shower in a newly tiled room. Instant hot water and fluffy towels. Plenty of sockets, mixture of spot and soft lighting and plenty space. Rooms are serviced every day, with new towels and extra pillows whenever needed. This low rise accommodation is covered by cctv and we felt extremely safe and at home. Excellent location for the shops, bars, restaurants and beach. A 3min walk will take you to a junction. Turn right and you’re facing the white church which is the beginning of the Old Town. Labyrinth of beautiful old buildings which are some of friendliest restaurants and bars we’ve visited. Exceptional food and service in this area. Turn left and this is the start of Maria’s Strip. 1 road which is crammed with bars, shops and restaurants catering for every taste in food and music. A gentle 15min stroll will take you to the sea front where we discovered a lovely Beach Club. As the ‘Young and lively’ scene was coming to an end, all of the younger generation were going home leaving the resort to the large amount of couples who arrived to enjoy the huge amount of bars without being part of the clubbing scene. Excellent location to take day trips to enjoy the island whether booking these on the Strip or independently. At the start of every day we’d go to the snack bar to say ‘morning’ to Mama who is the big boss. She has a big personality and creates an atmosphere around the pool. She is joined by Georgia who is charge of the day to day running. Georgia is happy to make recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to enjoy an evening meal. She is one the happiest people I’ve met and enjoys seeing her guests ‘party 24/7’. At the end of every night we’d pop to see George for a night cap and a catch up with fellow guests. During July and August it is very popular with the younger generation and May, June, September and October it is ideal for couples looking for guaranteed weather, nightlife and a relaxing stay. Will definitely return and looking forward to our next stay with Mama, Georgia and George!!

Have just got home from Malia and stayed here what a little gem this place is absolutely fantastic. Was a little wary as its a 24/7 party hotel. But end of season so was quite which is what we wanted family run business with Georgia George and last but not least Mama what a character she is loud lady but lovely 😊 they couldn't do enough for us. All the apartments have been modernised minimalistic decor very clean and the rooms are cleaned everyday Prices and the food are good full breakfast for €2.90 burger/ wraps and chips €5.50 to €6.00 Beer €3.00 Voka with mixer x2 €5.00 24hr bar 😊😊😊 Georgia was behind the bar most of the days early evening then George on the late night shift nothing was to much trouble for either of them our first night there didn't arrive untill 2 am George was making me toasties at 3am. Music by the pool great service from the guys may be a 3 star but 5 star in my mind for the great atmosphere getting to know the family and them making our holiday a great one will definitely be going back next year Thank you Georgia George and mama 🥰🥰
