Just 200 metres from the centre of this very lively resort, and a 500 metre stroll from the sandy beach, this is the place for those who plan to party. There's a choice of simply furnished rooms or studios - all compact, clean and comfortable, and there's a pool and snack bar on site for lazy days of sun worship. A basic budget-conscious choice, in a good spot for all the resort action

A group of 6 lads decided to go to Malia to see if it was better than our last holiday to Magaluf the year previous. When we arrived at Emerald Studios, we were in stitches at the outside of it! Looks like nothing, and when we went in to get our room,...

It was the first girl holiday we actually had- and we had an amazing time!
it is quite a lively resort and was expecting noise etc the only problem we had with the accomodation was the cleanliness of the rooms- for a weeks stay it was cleaned...

Ok, so I’m now on this website looking into booking the Emerald studios for next year’s holiday so all in all it can’t be as bad as some people make out.
What I liked most is the location, it was close enough to walk to the bars,...

Personally, after stepping off the coach and seeing the Emerald Studios I thought rubbish! But once I had stepped inside the hotel it was awesome. The pool looked fantastic. Lots of people were just sat chilling watching a film.
I stayed at Emeralds two summers ago and we can't wait to go back. We had such a lovely stay last time that we're going again in October this year. It’s in a perfect location, about two minutes from the lively strip but far enough away so that you...

I can’t believe the review I have read below!
EMERALD Studios in my 3 years of repping, a few years ago, in Malia were excellent quality for self catering accommodation in Malia. Good location near to the strip, close to a main road...

Nice short and simple review here because I’ve just sadly read the one below this - which has made me sit and take time out to say PLEASE do not listen to the guy below who clearly chose Malia for peace and quiet! Do you not read holiday brochures...

These apartments are fabulous! Lush pool (although not very big), nice sun garden and the rooms themselves are fine. Doesn't have air conditioning but you can rent fans.
The pool bar has a proper British menu and Nikos serves the best...

No matter what anyone else says, this is probably the best overall hotel in Malia.
Yes the rooms are basic but so are all hotel rooms in a resort like Malia.
Emerald studios are run by a family who live next to the hotel, it...

When you get on your coach from Heraklion Airport, make sure the driver knows where Emerald Studios are! Ours didn't, what should have been a 30 min journey took 2 hours and 15 mins.
It was after 3am before we finally arrived at Emerald...
