I had an incredibly enjoyable stay at Royal Heights Resort. The private villas were perfect for my family, providing ample space and a lovely pool to relax in. The service from Athina and the rest of the staff was genuinely outstanding, making every effort to ensure our needs were met. While the resort is located a bit further from Malia's busyness, that actually added to our peace and quiet. Unfortunately, the children’s play area left much to be desired; it was not in good condition and didn't provide a safe environment, which was disappointing for a family-friendly hotel.
