Location
The Maya Beach Hotel, taken over by the Enorme hotel chain, impresses with its simple design and modern concept, exclusively for adults aged 16 and over.
In addition to the magnificent view over the bay of Gouves, its proximity to the town offers the opportunity to discover local restaurants, bars, and shops with a stroll (approx. 500 m). Heraklion Airport is 18 km away.
Facilities
The modern "Boho" ambiance makes this manageable complex with 70 rooms a very special holiday destination. Besides plenty of relaxation, partly accompanied by DJ music, the food selection will make your heart beat faster. From Super Bowls and Bao Buns to Sushi, there is something for everyone. You will be welcomed in the lobby with a 24-hour reception; a TV room is also part of the facilities. Wi-Fi is included in all public areas. In the outdoor area, comfortable loungers and gazebos around the pool ensure ample space to relax. The outdoor fitness area invites you to work out. The beach bar serves refreshments and cocktails from 10 AM to 1 AM, and small snacks are available until 5:30 PM. The sushi bar is open from 12 PM to 5:30 PM. There is also a shisha bar.
