Where to stay in Stalis

On the negative: - Standard rooms are a bit too small - Lack of storage space - Insufficient illumination in the bathroom - Several broken sunshades at the east pool - 0.4L beer, 5,5 euros - endurable, but more than twice the price across the street... - Greek coffee is only available at the main bar after 5.30 PM ( I need good coffee in the morning, not at night ! ) - Not enough space for sunbeds...

Fantastic all inclusive holiday! Lovely warm welcome and taken up to our rooms. The staff here are friendly and accommodating and went out of their way to ensure that our large group were always seated together in the dining room. Around the pools and on the beach the staff would come and take drinks orders and deliver them to us. A big shout out to Manwella who was just amazing. Bus stop 29 is a a...

This was my first solo holiday. It didn't disappoint. A single 50 something female, wanting a hotel that was big enough for me to blend, yet small enough for staff to care! I was anxious when I first arrived. I needed of worried. I Resort Beach was perfect! Beautiful Natalia and Pollo looked after me from the minute I arrived. Always available with information and kind smiles. Georgia at the hotel...

Really enjoyed the entertainment team Chloe and Joanna. Warm and Welcoming with excellent activities. Really recommend.

We had a lot of fun here, the food is delicious, the view is fabulous and the cherry on top was the animation with Chloé and Joanna! We had a wonderful stay

Chloé and Joana were wonderful, they make all guests feel confortable and the shows were lot of fun. We hope to see them again next year !

Wacko the entertainment Guy(Crete David ) was our knick name for him worked so hard keeping everyone entertained day and night with different activities.He was so funny along with the...

We stayed at this hotel for the second year in a row. Great good hotel! Very varied food. Clean and quiet hotel, comfortable beds. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops near the hotel. Thanks to Μαρία Κευγά for the good service and Nadia for the help. Thank you to the entire hotel for a great vacation! We really like Crete!

Such a wonderful hotel!! Loved the amazing food choices, grounds, drinks and very friendly staff. Just across a small road from a fab private beach area. Guaco the entertainment guy was brilliant fun with great music quiz nights and karaoke!! All hotel staff were very friendly. Mark Hawkins.

Just come back from 10 days staying here, lovely hotel brilliantly placed facing sea, the food was amazing and catered to all countries, while we was there it was mainly Germans and Latvians but we didn’t have any issues about it, everyone was friendly enough. Some rooms have pools that you pay extra for but please be aware if you pay for 1 the hotel should be opposite way round because the sun hits...

I stayed at Blue Sea Beach with my (new!) fiancé. He proposed to me on the beach with the help of hotel manager Yiannis, who was extremely helpful and kind throughout our stay. Every aspect of our holiday was 5 star, the service from each member of staff was impeccable, our room was modern, spacious and clean, and the food was varied and delicious. A truly lovely place, full of wonderful people.

Firstly myself and my husband went here for our honeymoon Just returned last night!! Couldn’t fault the hotel at all, staff soo friendly, welcoming, nothing is ever too much trouble. The location was fab, loved waking up every morning watching the sunrise and listing to the waves. Staff member Stella (lady) she is such a lovely member of staff, thank you for being you. A la carte restaurant...

Well i'm not impressed from this resort! ,up on arrival was supposed to be picked up from the hotel we needed to get cap from the airport to the hotel at 1 am in the morning….plus the property has no sand beaches only rocks around and swimming pool over crowded we walk a mile to the nice beaches!!! Other than that everything was good plenty of food home made friendly staff easy to communicate!!!

My daughter and I had such a good experience with this hotel. The staff was spot on and the food was wonderful. The view from my balcony was gorgeous. If we ate outside the hotel, The gentleman who worked at the entrance by the gate gave us some good options to choose from. I would def stay again and do recommend it.

Great view from the room, super friendly staff from reeption through husekeeping till the restaurnt staff everyone was very kind and helpful. The food optios are great and the food is always fresh, the chef is there to assist with allergies or food intolarences. Upon request early breakfast and lunch basket is available. Maybe the pool could be opened earlier than 9am.

Brilliant Absolutely amazing management staff

At the end of August, my wife and I organized a wedding in Crete. We accommodated all our guests in the Horizon hotel, which was a hit. Everyone was very satisfied. The reception staff were very helpful, the cleaning team was thorough. The food was always tasty and fresh. I recommend it wholeheartedly. hearts. Hotel worth the price. Spectacular view.

Just excellent. We went here with our 1 year son, Big Baby. Nice aquapark and good view over sea. Also very nice food.

Good hotel for the adults and for children. Nice rooms and friendly service Staff. The only issue are the beach beds not for free. But the sea is wonderfull. You will surely enjoy your holiday here🙂

Very professional people very professional service and with all inclusive you have food and drinks the whole time till 11 o’clock at night and you have early breakfast also . It starts at 4am, so if you have to travel to visit other places or do some activities you can get breakfast and start your day. So they think about everything. They are very polite very friendly and they care a lot about the...

This was the second time staying in cactus beach and It was as amazing as the first time.Τhe buffet was incredible it had a huge selection with tasty food,very presentable.(Even for the picky ones).The stuff was friendly and helpful.Always smiling and ready to assist you with anything we needed.Their warm hospitality really mad a difference. The resort is ideal for families.The children's facilities...

Paradise for families with kids! Our vacation is still ongoing, probably will complete the review later. Service-best in Creete, really. Clean rooms, decent all inclusive drinks, diverse food with section for toddlers and plastic plates. Beach - great! (Need to pay extra for sun beds, but there is space to just drop towels on the right). Beach towels are free (need to leave the deposit). There are...

Very good quality-price ratio, smiling friendly personel, nice location- lots of small shops and eating places just next door. Coctails are more or less okay.

Really nice hotel and beautiful hotel area! But they still have some unrenovated rooms which we had and they aren't that nice to be honest. Somehow it's a thing that there are many public toilets you can't lock all over Crete and also in the hotel area. Everything else was fine.

Quite a small complex which is nice for meal times and queues at the bars. We arrived at 12.30am, the coach drops you on the main road outside of the hotel, first problem we encountered was no sign to the reception we just followed the road, would have helped for - reception this way. There was a queue for checkin so the receptionist / porter told us to use the restaurant and come back when we had...

We liked the position if the hotel as it was near to the main *****. Our room was fine except that when you had a shower the floor got really wet. The food was ok. I had the freshly made crepes and omelet for breakfast. There was a good continental selection. There was a man making gyros in the restaurant at lunch time. We managed to find sometging to eat even though my husband is a fussy eater. We...

Had a great stay here for a week. The staff are all very nice and efficient. The food was excellent,lots of choice at every meal and very well presented. Had drinks at the main bar which were good. Never had a problem with getting a sun bed and the barmen at both pool bars were very nice and helpful. We had a family room for just 2 people so it was spacious. Cleaner did an excellent job, bedding and...

Katrin hotel bungalows is absolutely outstanding in every way the staff are all friendly, informative and knowledgeable, our room was spotlessly clean and serviced daily, the food was plentiful and delicious

Hotel was nice and super to spend relaxing and chill holiday at. I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Katrin Hotel and Dionissos bar during my all-inclusive holiday! The atmosphere was fantastic, the drinks at the Dionissos bar were top-notch, and everything was always served with a smile. The bartender Dionissis who was there every evening, was simply outstanding – incredibly friendly, professional...

Arrived safe was greeted and welcomed by reception,was a lovely touch having staff show us to our room . We had a room with a plunge pool and it was great ,me and my husband enjoyed every part of our holiday from start to finish every member off staff worked hard and so friendly and attentive to all making u feel special Just want to say we spent a lot of time at the adults pool near the bar...

Very nice hotel, great location, friendly staff, good rooms, pool, close to the beach, good price. Can recommend :)

We stayed at this hotel for a week and everything was great. The room was cleaned daily, the food was good, and the location was fantastic, right by the sea. We'd like to thank Ariadne for a wonderful week spent on beautiful Crete.

We had a good stay! However, you have to pay for the sun loungers at the pool. The staff is very, very friendly, except for the head waiter. Unfortunately, one waiter (George) is quite unfriendly and does not treat the guests well. The hotel is very clean, and the food is good.

The absolute top thing about this hotel is the beachfront location (deluxe room felt like we're almost on the sea) and the actual area that is taken care off and kept clean exceptionally.

Great place to stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Great choice of food and wine. Just got a couple of negative points: - No music at the bar pool - not expensive but you have to pay the sunbed - we had booked a superior double room, On arrival we were shown the room we had booked (twin bed simple room). We were told for an extra € 14 a day we could up grade (to the room we booked) pity. We did...

Fantastic pool area with very friendly staff and good food. Direct access to the beach from pool area as well. Breakfast was not of similar quality though. Also, the hotel coffee was undrinkable. Still gets 4-stars though 🤙

OK let's get this right the hotel is over 4 buildings. The beach fronted rooms are hard to get and if not book early you are not getting one. Pool bar is great but then you get charge €6 for the sun beds and pay for drinks even if your on all Inc. The pool bar is included. The main hotel as the reception which is over the road from the beach side and there is another hotel block behind this. Rooms...

Best one so far but can't use gym due to covid 19 ok in the pool

Really good modern clean room. Walk straight off patio onto beach with stunning sea views. Cleaned every day. Would of made 5 ster rating if sheets had of been big enough for bed.

This Place is absolutely Amazing..! I found a new place where I will spend my vacation while I’m here in Crete. Let’s Start with the arrival at the Airport. Instead of booking a expensive car you can take the public bus in front of the Airport. The Hotel is just 28 Stations (

Stayed their last year and now iam back well worth a visit

Lovely, intimate self catering holiday accommodation . Ideal location with super friendly efficient staff. Will visit again.

Had a wonderful stay here with friends in September. Weather was fantastic, staff helpful & friendly. Food was excellent and the a la carte restaurants were the best ones we've ever experienced in any all-inclusive hotels we've stayed in. Service was excellent and special mention to Kostas at La Strada and the drinks waitress (sorry I didn't get your name) at The Steak Restaurant. We had a lovely welcome...

Thanks to Anja, I enjoyed a wonderful morning of relaxation and luxury. The lava face treatment left my face feeling very soft and the full body mud mask was very nice as well. I highly recommend this in addition to your stay

I cannot praise this hotel enough, everything is fantastic, the staff are so friendly and nothing is to much trouble, check in was simple, room spotless, food fantastic and the deserts are to die for, pool is great, grounds are beautiful we cannot wait to return

Great hotel and splendid spa, Jessica and Irene gave us a great relaxing treatment. In general highly recommended, super calm

Great treatment with Jessi. Clean spa welcoming and friendly with good choice of services. Will visit again shortly thanks

We had the most wonderful time at Cactus Royal & Spa – a place we truly want to return to. The hotel is beautiful, spotless, and offers a peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and recharge. Luxury and The food was absolutely delicious – always fresh, varied, and beautifully presented. Evening entertainment, such as live concerts, added a special charm to our stay. We spent every evening...

We come here every year we love it feels like second Home fantastic staff al family run . bbq fantastic most comfortable sun beds ever really love this place.

Great hotel . Coming 3 yrs now and would recommend without a doubt. Three brothers Michael , Billy and George are always there to help if you need anything just ask . Excellent staff . Rooms are cleaned daily ,bedding ,towels every 2nd day . Two pools ones for little ones , pool table , creat time had by all . Here now and definitely years to come .

Lots of things to do. On arrival we were offered one free drink each and we chilled out by the bar. Rooms are very clean,however the showers are not very powerful and there is hardly room to move.when getting there it was extremely hot in the room and we had to get ac. The ac was low standard which is why we decided to bring fans with us. Maids and staff are very friendly. The bar isnt the best for...

My happy place I used to come to is not the same any more all I can say is Michael you need to come back then I will sorry but shocked to see this place so run down and made to feel uncomfortable at times

Very dated hotel, rooms are very basic, no tea making facilities in rooms, beds were a little on the hard side Hotel is about 20 minute walk to the main *****. Food was average nothing special, Breakfast was good, dinner was quite repetitive could be more choice of deserts You have to pay if you want coffee or tea after dinner, even had to pay for a drink of water, I think that's very mean This hotel...

The staff make the stay Friendly and helpful. Love george the Barman he made our honeymoon special. Karina the entertainments lady was brilliant. Funny and made the nights great fun , I even won bingo lol. Thank you To all the staff 3rd visit coming soon x

Friendly clean value for money would ret

Lovely hotel, about 5mins walk to main strip and beach if you know how to get there!! Good food excellent staff 👌

Travelled here during the pandemic of Sept 2021. After a fraught nervous flight (still couldn't believe that we were travelling) this hotel was a pleasant relief. Understandably quiet but full of charecter and charm. Clean and having the friendliest staff group. The food is good and service lovely. The beach is 10 minutes walk away and you can get a bus to Heraklion over the road, wherby the shops...

Great family hotel which is run by a big Greek family. Aristora and her sister Maria were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is spotlessly clean and our room was cleaned and fresh towels every day. We had the Greek breakfast in the hotel for 8 Euro, which consisted of watermelon, breads, eggs, cheese, cereal, meats, cakes, fruit, toast, jams, tea and coffee. The hotel is on the seafront and access...

Aristea and pavlos made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in until departing. The hotel was good , some of the staff were great and it has a lot of amenities. Pool is a good size, a bar and Stalis beach is moments away . If we come back to this part of the island again we would stay again.

Just returned from another fantastic holiday at this amazing hotel. We had a newly renovated family room which was lovely. They have done a brilliant job. The shower is fab. The family that run this hotel are just amazing Maria & Aristea are so lovely, they looked after us so well. I'm so glad we discovered this hotel 9 years ago now. We are so lucky to have met such a wonderful family and we can't...

Thank you, Neon Hotel. Your location was just what we were after, a proper Crete family hotel. The staff are so friendly, nothing too much trouble, we had a sea view room and WOW that view!!, The Bed was large and comfortable, the shower large and plentiful supply of hot water. Spotlessly clean, pool side food spot on. Will defo try and make time for a second visit.

Excellent service and very friendly staff.They even gave us free mosquito repellent. Cleaners came every day with fresh sheets and towels.Sea view was good. Thank you, we will come again.

Perfect location, beach just out the back of the hotel. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Maria and her family were all lovely. Always there to help or share some raki. Will visit again when back in Crete. Thanks very much for a lovely stay and for the olive oil! DJ and Olivia.

Lovely hotel. Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Ideal location, handy for the beach, bars, and restaurants. Lovely pool area. Good breakfast. Another excellent stay. Thanks to all the staff for making it so enjoyable.

We stayed at the hotel for 7 days. The room was clean and the hotel had been renovated. Breakfast was the same every morning, but it offered a variety of options. Dinner was served at a hotel 200m away. We didn't enjoy the dinner due to the uniform taste of the dishes. While the food was filling, it wasn't exceptional. The pool was all right, but unfortunately, there was no poolside bar. Air conditioning...

Great hotel at a good price, everything newly renovated. The manager and all the staff are very friendly. The rooms are very clean, the garden with pool is very well maintained. The breakfast which you can have on the terrace is great. Will book it again next year.

We thank the entire staff of the hotel, especially Mrs. Elena. It was the most beautiful stay, we will definitely not forget how we felt.The hotel is newly renovated.The rooms are modern and clean We hope to see you again soon!

It is a nice hotel near the beach, the staff is really friendly, polite and helpful, the pool is big and amazing and near the hotel there are some shops where you can buy everything you need. It is also pretty calm place. I really enjoyed it there.

Quiet, clean, super helpful, dynamic staff, smiling and attentive, beautiful spacious room well equipped (fridge), excellent bedding, balcony with sea/mountain view, beautiful garden with a beautiful swimming pool Can have a simple buffet lunch, but there is the essential, and for the price frankly, it's very good In short a great stay, I recommend without hesitation

The apartment is very basic, but it’s fine. Very good bathroom, with a good shower! Could be cleaner, but i’ve seen a lot worse. The bed was not very comfortable, but can be much worse. I asked for more pillows, cause they were small, this was no problem, i got them right away. It might be a good idea to bring an extension cord, because there are not much plugs. Also i missed a scissors, and a towel...

The hotel is in a very good area with amazing beach front, near restaurants and shopping area. The food is very basic, not tasty, boring English breakfast… No entertainment, lots of old people. The room is old, rusty but I give 4 🌟 for the pool area and the beach

Brilliant location. apartments very spacious and clean, cleaners every other day . Could have more plugs, no sockets for hairdryer in bedroom and a toaster in kitchen area would be a good addition. Pool great and staff lovely ,Vicky really nice and helpful ,check in fantastic with the greeting from Genxi (also bar man) who just made our holiday the craic was brilliant with his banter and is a great...

We had such a lovely time here at the Zeus Palm Beach. We had no booking at the hotel, but had sunbeds on the beach. We also ate and had some drinks at the bar. Gianis, the bartender is such a great man, very friendly and helpful! He made our stay a memorable one, so we came back at this place the following days too. We enjoyed everything here. He has a golden heart for people, we will come next year...

We had an amazing time. The apartment was clean. A big shout to our cleaner who works so hard. Nanda is a lovely person. Vicky is friendly and helpful. Genxi is a wonderful, funny, helpful and friendly human being. Genxi made our holiday. I can’t thank him enough for being so nice to us. Lovely mix of nationalities. Big hugs to our Irish friends. Can’t praise Genxi enough, what a hard worker he is...

Very nice location, situated on the beach. It has everything you need: bar beach, pool, restaurant with amazing food. Iannis was a great host for our stay, providing everything we needed and also different advices for restaurant, activities, places. Thank you Iannis and thank you to Zeus Palm hotel beach Stalida! See you next year!

The rooms are basic nothing fancy, best rooms are the one bedroom apts. they are large. As for self catering not much for cooking no microwave only 2 ring hot plate frying pan and 2 pots a fridge and some utensils plus an electric kettle. Sunbeds are free large swimming pool, lovely grass areas and easy access to the beach.

Very nice apartments. Great location. Lovely pool area. Karen in the bar in the day is AMAZING, great sevice and she makes great cup of coffee. Churi the cleaner is lovely, she comes in and cleans the rooms every day. Both are very helpful and friendly. The evening staff are also lovley, Pela, Gregory, Antonio and George are great. Love coming here.

This place is amazing. The rooms are lovely and unusual each balcony has a clothes airer to dry washing. The staff and family are all fantastic. Location is fabulous, 1 min walk to beach. And all the restaurants and bars are within an easy walk, though the restaurant adjoining is pretty good.

The place is nice, clean and have friendly staff. The swimming pool area is lovely and is the best thing this hotel has. Food is OK but not that great, however, there are many good restaurants around so it worth to explore. The worst thing in this hotel are beds very uncomfortable since they don't have double beds so if a couple staying there it will be hard to cuddle at night. And the rooms to the...

Friendly personal. Good food, good prices. But a little too large in size, and volume. (Our family can eat a lot, but we often waste food, because we're full.) Pool is nice. Beach is just a few steps away. Shops are also close by. Large rooms, with standard service. Overal 4/5 stars. Very good hotel.

Hôtel familial bien situé, chambres spacieuses,personnel sympathique

Very nice hosts. The breakfast is OK, the content changes a bit day by day so there is something new to eat every morning. The rooms are spatious and clean, the hosts do a tidy-up every day. Beach is nearby, 5 min. walk but the hotel a pool with sunbeds which is a huge advantage. For example when the wind is strong and the waves arev so huge that lifeguards don't allow people to go into the sea...

I score with 5 stars without a second thought. The hosts are amazing guys with incredible humor. and all the food is delicious

Nice clean place....nice food nice people!!!!

Nice ans quiet place, the owner family is very kind.Bravo

Cosy place with average service. The rooms were clean and nicely arranged. Food is average too. Recommended if you don't have high expectations or necessities. The beach is 10 -15 minutes walk though.

Stayed here for the first time after family members recommended it!. WOW is all I can say, the hotel is in the perfect spot, the hotel itself is beautiful and very clean and the family that own it are out of this world. I will 100% be coming back here and would definitely recommend.

Wondeful family run hotel. All you need. Beachside location

Great view and lovely family hotel. All that you need for your summer vacation in a walking distance.

Lovely hotel. Clean and spacious rooms with decent bed (not the most comfy lounges for those with kids needing to sleep there but ok). The staff are lovely and hospitable, the restaurant staff in particular are friendly and welcoming. Great pool and beach too. Lots of parking so easy with a rental.

We spent a relaxed and enjoyable week at golden bay hotel . We you want a relaxing break we recommend it . We will be back !!!

The golden bay hotel in Malia is the perfect place for summer holiday. The area is very calm even though you are just minutes of walking away from the center of Malia and the views from the balcony and the pool are stunning, overlooking the hills of Crete. The walk to the beach is also something to be happy about, because is just few minutes away and the beach is clean with beautiful sea. The rooms...

First time staying at Golden Bay, but me and my partner could not be happier. Great location very close to beaches and Malia *****, but also in a quiet area, so you can properly rest! Lovely room with sea view, which was big and had all we needed! House keeping was literally everyday! The host, Akis was really helpful and friendly! We would love to come back!

Several of us attending a conference nearby at the Cretaquarium stayed here for several nights. What struck me first was the view. It was pretty cool to step outside of my room, either through my front door, or from the corner of my deck, and see the Mediterranean Sea. The deck also faced inward toward the rest of the layout, so I really got a good look at all of the hotel. As others have noted,...

Beautiful hotel Didn't realize it was a 4* as we got a good deal.my word we were so surprised by the attentiveness of the staff in each area.The cleaners were second to none and worked long hours and came in everyday. Bar staff were so happy and really went out of their way to make your stay a lovely one. Also Penelope and Maria in the tarverna were beautiful girls and nothing was too much trouble...

Great hotel, perfect location in the center of Stalida, across the street a good tent on the beach with good service on the sunbeds that are also well located. Hotel owner good man who wants to help with everything, only noisy in the morning

Good place for a couple of days or a week. Decent accomodation. If you choose breakfast you get a decent meal în the morning. The owner of the hotel is nice and can give you advices. However there is room for improvement which would definitely help. Things to improve: insect net in room window against mosquitos and better internet infrastructure.

During my stay there I liked that all the basic needs were covered and it still was great. The hotel was very near the beach, you had to walk like 20-30m and you were there! :)) The owner was very friendly and offered great advice about where to eat or where to buy things if necessary. The only things that I did not like were the fact the the hotel or at least the room we stayed did not have a mosquito...

We went there in June and we enjoyed it very much. Also against the owner we can not say anything bad was very friendly towards us. Will go back next year
