Village Oasis Studios and Apartments

I would not recommend staying here to anyone the apartments are very basic which i expected but they did not supply you with towels in the shower which normally self catering do the room was dirty when we first arrived, our view from the balcony was of a roof top that was full of bird poo and rubbish also the maids came in once and emptied our bins and didnt even change the bed sheets.
On my second night we got our door kicked in from the security guard as we had our music on and it hadnt even hit 11pm yet, the security guards also kept turning the fuse box off and shouting at everyone telling them to shut up if there was music on at or if anyone was making to much noise this happened every night. I also got threatened by one of the bar staff that drove past on his moped at 7am as i was on the balcony smoking. I actually felt like a was in a boot camp at times when we were getting told what to do and when to do it.
Once we had handed our keys in they kept my passport back as they were trying to charge us for a glass that they said was missing, but we had handed it into reception as it was in our friends room.
The holiday was great but i would have enjoyed it a lot more if i was not staying in these apartments.

The holiday as a whole was amazing!!! Malia is lovely; I was down the strip every night, round the pool everyday and met some really great people.
The hotel however wasn’t so great, on first views of the hotel it looked nice and even newly built, but this all changed when we were lead to our rooms. We were lead along a dark street, away from the hotel and the pool to a separate section where our room was. We happened to be on the top floor so had to carry our heavy suitcases up 4 flights of windy stairs with no help from any of the reps, when we reached our hotel room there was no light to see how to open the door, so we struggled with it for a good 5 minutes. It got no better as we entered the room, it was very, very basic... the room was small with the kitchen area in the same space, and the bathroom was tiny, we had no balcony other than the space outside our door and the room wasn’t even clean!!
On the other hand, the staff and bar area were really nice, the staff made you feel like part of the family and weren’t stingy about giving some free drink away. We went down there every night before heading to the strip; we played games and chatted for hours with the staff. The pool area was also really nice; it was kept clean and tidy by this one member of staff who was lovely and you never had to fight for a sun bed!
The reps that were in our hotel were useless! One of them was really rude and even told us to ‘f’ off when we wouldn’t sit in our room in the middle of the day so he could try and sell us something! He even refused to give me a questionnaire at the end of the holiday.... I think he was scared of the review he might get!!!!
So it’s hard to rate the hotel, some aspects of the hotel were amazing, but the room, and the reps really let it down! Overall I had an amazing holiday, just probably wouldn’t go back to that hotel, unless I was promised a room in the main hotel... because the rooms in there were far, far better... they had microwaves and TV’s... enough said!!! :)

Absolute awful holiday!!!! only enjoyed it when we were away from the hotel. The manager is a absolute violent piece of work who accussed me and my mates of swearing at him and said that he was ringing the police and that we had to pay 2000euros each!!!! this absolutely spoilt our holiday! would never ever go back to this hotel again..but would go back to malia! all had in our room was ants..the shower was horrible!! the pool was dirty! the drinks were expensive!! while we were sleeping a few times the owners opened our doors!! its a terrible hotel and i reccomend u do not stay here..would recommend thomas cook to take this hotel off there system..was very disappointed in this holiday!!

we had an amazing holiday in malia but the hotel was dreadful! the rooms are basic and the air conditioning stops working all the time andthere was no light in the toilet. The worst part is the hotel staff who are rude and do nothing to help you with any complaints. We ask them to fix our light and air conditioning numerous times but they did nothing. we went on an 18-30 holiday so you expect to be able to have abit of a laugh but on the third night the hotel security guard threatened to throw us out and call police for playing music loud in early hours of morning unless we paid him 200 euros. Then on the following nights the same guard made us leave our rooms early and said we had to go out at 11 because we were to loud. On checking out the staff made up that we had lost bed sheets, pillows and chairs which we knew we hadnt as we had checked before we left and they charged us for these. They said if we didnt pay we wouldn't get our passports back so we were forced to pay. (30 euro for a bed sheet)
I would recommend thomas cook but not this hotel it was just hassle we didnt need.
honestly do not stay here!!!!!!

The Hotel is basic, for the time you sleep and shower it does the job. Lack of toilet rolls and towels is the only gripe, I did bring some though. The balcony view was brilliant and there was a nice breeze. Our mates room downstairs felt warmer and had alot of ants.
For a Safe it cost 30 euros for the week, there was four of us and two rooms, so one safe for all four done us fine. Air Con was 80 euros a week for one room. We decided to leave the balcony doors open when we slept. wasn't too bad.
Village Oasis staff are all friendly, Zac the Bar manager and Nico the overnight barman were brilliant!
The night life is amazing, PR's at each pub/club can get slightly annoying but if you haggle with them, usually you get a better deal!
Meals are value for money too, there is British channels and sport on the TV's.
Superb overall.

i have been to these apartments the last 2 years in a row both times in the month of august .i went with my 2 girl mates.
The rooms are preety poor the shower u have to hold when tryin to wash yourself and they do not give u any towels so defo take a gd few towels with you also they do not provide toilet paper !
The pool is great a good size and there is plenty of sun beds for everyone to have .
The food at the apartment is really nice and a good price but the drinks are pretty expensive and you cant take your own drink by the pool !
Some of the staff are nice but if you get on their bad side its not good !
The first year we went one of the friends we made did get tasered for being too loud ! I have read reviews that say they dont do this but i can assure u they do !
also i was sleepin one nyt and i got woke up by a group of guys coming home they wer pretty loud and the security guy and bar guy was up at our floor trying to sort it out ! the boy got told to go to his room but didnt want to so the security guy told him he wud regret this ..... the following nyt around 6am i was sittin on my balcony and seen this boy coming home himself ! the security guy and owner of the hotel punched him and he ran away . They chased him down the street out of sight and 5 mins later they two returned without the boy ! was horrible to see ! the boy did have a black eye when i seen him again !
The excursions tht the reps offer are mostly a waste of money ! the silent disco was a gd laugh and the neon nyt was great too tho !
I met great friends over there that i again met up with the following year ! if i hadnt met this group of boys then i wud have been terrified !
Malia itself is amazin the clubs and pubs will not dissappoint !
The Loft is the best pub u will not miss this it is at the very start of the strip and does 5 drink for 5 euros ! awesome !
the clubs i went to most are candy appollo and club uk !
I know you have probs read most reviews and they are mixed but mines is the nothing but the truth !
enjoy your holiday :)

Reading many of these reviews after booking your holiday would put you off before even getting there, well we thought the same.
There was 3 young ladies including myself dreading what we were going to see, but it was a fab holiday and not one person we spoke to on our holiday didnt enjoy it.
The hotel room was a basic room as are all hotels in Greece, what more can you expect for a 18-30 holiday! It had a bed and shower what more do you want.
The pool area was well kept and the food was lovely, the strip is around a 5 minute walk but nothing really when your drunk or chatting.
As for Zak and the security guards they were all lovely - you have to give respect to gain respect and thats all they asked for, we had partys with loud music and only once did we get told to turn it down apart from that i couldnt knock them.
Overall this holiday was amazing i even shead a tear when i had to leave the place!! Sad i know!! Well worth it.
