Paradise Matala Hotel, hotel in Matala

Located in Matala, a 9-minute walk from Matala beach, Paradise Matala Hotel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

Casa E Mare is a great place to stay. It's a short walk from the main beach road but still has a nice selection of restaurants around it. It appears to be a family run place and I found everyone there to always be friendly and ready to help. The rooms are very large and actually feel pretty luxurious for the very reasonable price being charged. Additionally, they are very thorough in the daily room cleaning which is extremely nice for a beach place since no matter what you do, you will bring sand home with you. Kata Beach is only about a 10 minute walk away but they even offer a shuttle bus that will take you there or to Karon Beach or Kata Noi Beach. They will even pick you up again! The internet is extremely strong.

    Such a beautiful little seaside village that comes to life at night. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the views, vibes and people. Also we found the pricing cheaper for food and drinks. I must stop

    The room was clean and relatively new looking.

    The room was clean and relatively new looking. There is no wifi or tv in room. They have wifi at the bar and should be able to get it to rooms with routers but have not bothered. The bed was a disaster, it was hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. My wife and I both hardly slept and had sore back in the morning. We have been travelling for over 5 weeks had no problem with any other beds.

    There is a great vibe at Matala that differs from the rest of Creta. The hippie feel is true. We caught live music the night we were there and it was the best moment. This along with the red beach - strongly recommend.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot. So a lot of restaurants there, lot of tourist shops with souvenirs and a lot of people. The beach itself is not that big, but it was nice though. I mean it really depends on what you are looking for. I am more fond of less crowded and less touristy places, so perhaps next time I would look for something more matching my preferences. On the other hand there is nothing wrong about Matala at all. All the people there are very friendly. Really it depends on what you prefer...

    Matala is a quiet little town with not a lot of traffic, music or noise. You come here to relax. If you like naturist beaching this place is definitely for you (Red beach and Komos beach). Moreover, Matala can be a good base for visiting the area (you have to rent a car or a bike).

    Beautiful little hippie Place with lots of Restaurants, Bars and Cafés. The beach in matala, the red beach and the caves of matala are a must see. When you are in matala I would recommend the Restaurants Georges Yard, Plaka and Hakuna matata.

    Hotel has very good location, its rooms are well arranged, have spatious bathrooms and functional, efficient HVAC units. The stay was without any problems. Distance to the beach is around 500 m, similar to the main attraction, the old (roman and early Christian) caves delved in the face of the cliff hanging above the beach. Hotel has modest but clean, well maintained pool. Breakfasts, included in the cost of our room, were decent, nothing particularly excellent, but wide variety of dishes and products, organized in convention of Swedish table.

    We truly enjoyed our stay at this place - it was a last minute choice and I'm glad we chose it. The staff is EXCEPTIONAL, the room was immaculate, the pool is great and the vibe is fun and friendly. We had our own room (not a dorm type) with a private bathroom. Our room also had a large balcony and great A/C which we needed. There was always plenty of hot water which I managed to get everywhere (see below). The hotel is located a bit out of the main area which we liked... about a 15 min walk from "downtown" Matala.

    Absolutely AMAZING apartment in SPECTACULAR MATALA. The place is probably the best short term rental we ever stayed, and we do travel quite a lot. Eva, the host was super accommodating... but the place.... the place is just AWESOME... the pictures do not do justice... you're RIGHT ON THE BEACH in Matala, one of the most enchanting towns in Crete (or is it on earth?).

    Absolutely stunning view from the room! I screamed from joy when we entered the room. It was like being in an aquarium :))) Hanging high over the beach, view of the whole village and the bay, sunset, airy, the studio was a very nice size, open space with a living room part and a lovely kitchen, huge fantastic fridge.

    Very warm welcome to the family run hotel. Stelios is an exceptional host with excellent local knowledge and a kind way. Its a couple of minutes walk from the very nice Matala beach but enough away. There are many places to visit in the area so it makes a great base.
