The Coral was the best and most atmospheric hotel we stayed in in Greece. It is ideally l;ocated, spotlessly clean, spacious and the owner and staff are very helpful and friendly.

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.
The hotel Is truly five minutes away from the main beach in Matala, the pool Is wonderful and the rooms are super clean and very comfortable. i travelled with my boyfriend but I would definitely recommend this accomodation for a family with Kids too. The hotel is in surrounded by trees and plants and Is a very relaxing Place. The owner Stelios Is super friendly and very funny. We Hope to get back soon.
Alexandra is extremely welcoming and helpful. We had a room with upstairs balcony. There is a shared kitchen facility which is useful for breakfast and drinks. Room was clean and comfortable. Rooms are on the Matala Old Road (10 minute walk into town) and near to bus stop, great for days out (eg Phaestos) and bus to Kommos Beach.
We had a wonderful time in Matala. The apartment is in a very central position and close to all the services, 30 seconds to the beach. Cozy, clean apartment with a private backyard. The owner is a wonderful person, very kind who gave us a lot of care. Loved the vibes of the place, 100% suggested!! Κάρυστο Βούλα!!
Matala was our second destination on Crete after Heraklion. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The place is touristy but not overcrowded in May. The most beautiful is the 'Red Beach' which, however, had to be reached on foot what is not easy but manageable.
I like most of the things, the host was great, the bed was wonderful, even small things like plates glasses and other things was in the room. The location of staying was perfect, not far away from one of the coolest towns and beaches. Awesome for short term staying
This place is in the middle of everything, and the most important .. in front of the beach!
The place is clean, modern and beautiful. The sunset view from the balcony is breath taking. You can go down the stairs and be straight at the beach, i love it!
Wonderful cozy apartment with kitchen which has a comfortable terrace with amazing beach view! Everything was clean, wifi worked well. It perfectly fits for 1-2 people or a couple with a kid. Manager Eva is very nice and friendly. Thank you!
Fantastic location: 30m from the center but in a street without foot traffic.
Red Sand Beach 10mns away by foot and Matala beach 5mns away by foot.
Super clean.
Fun layout with the bathroom in the cave.
View on the beach and sea.
The location is perfect: just in the center and near by the beach but at the same time in a very quite area. The terrace was very nice and had some shadow, We loved this hotel. Unfortunately we stayed just for one night.
Beautiful property, great location, excellent breakfast included at the nearby hotel. Kids really enjoyed the pool. Loved the eye for design in decor and lighting. Air conditioning in every room, worked beautifully.
located just outside Matala but not so far as to make you think about walking to any of restaurants etc it provided a quiet location without being remote from amenities, beach etc.. Pool and hotel always very clean.
The whole Matala beach is amazing, one of the best in Crete. And with the nice accomodation just a few steps from the beach, tavernas, shops makes the it unforgetable holiday. We miss Matala spirit!
