Heliotrope Apartments ★★★

📍 Eleftheriou Venizelou 92, Stalida

"We cannot understand the bad reviews here. Anyone who expects a 5 star hotel for these cheap prices should question themselves. Of course this hotel is not up to date, but you have 2 rooms and either a terrace or 2 cute balconies. In general the furnishings are rather older, old Greek style... For us it had a lot of flair and we would definitely come back. The welcome and care was very warm. Lila, one of the dogs, kept coming by to say hello, which we as animal lovers were very happy about. Since this hotel is on a hill with a view of the sea (from all balconies), there are a few steps. Anyone expecting an elevator should probably book a holiday in the Maldives or something similar. Our rooms were clean. We were always helped with questions. We were even given toothpaste that we ran out of for the last 2 days... We have nothing to complain about."

Iraklis Apartments
7.3 (53 reviews)

Iraklis Apartments ★★★

📍 El. Venizelou 114, Stalida

"Location particularly good, accommodation typical of this class of Greek apartments, air conditioning and safe available in addition to holiday fees. Two pools, one nearer for tourists and one for local trade. Inexpensive coach stops (twenty-nine) to Malia, Heraklion, and the rest of the Island outside. Beach, taverna, restaurant, supermarket, and bars close nearby. The locals are very friendly and helpful. Apartments run by Maria, who has fluent English and Greek. Her husband Stavros has some English. You can still get access to your room if you arrive outside hours, go to the reception door to see your welcome notice. Be aware the road outside compares to a UK double carriageway road, cross with care looking left first"

"These apartments have just been taken over in May this year by the host Eli and her family. Our room was spacious we stayed in room 14 on ground floor. Grounds and pool area kept spotless by hard working staff, we love the beach so did not eat at the apartments but all food cooked by Eli’s dad Alexandra and looked lovely. My wife and I would not hesitate to stay here again. All the best Eli and family for the future."

Malliotakis Beach Hotel

Malliotakis Beach Hotel "by Checkin" ★★★

📍 Agiou Ioanni 11, Stalida

"We had booked into a hotel which didn't suit our taste and location, so having found a room at the Malliotakis hotel we stayed here for 4 nights. Rena welcomed us and showed us the last room which we then booked. The hotel is in a lovely location right on the beachfront with its own pool, which was also lovely and warm. Food at the beach bar was lovely and the breakfast was a buffet style and very good. The location of the hotel was fab and we could just walk out and had lots of restaurants and bars right there. Rooms were spotless and clean towels each day. We really enjoyed our stay. Jiannis, Rena, Maria and Manos made us so welcome."

Zeus Hotels Palm Beach ★★★

📍 Agiou Ioannou 84, Stalida

"Stayed here May 14-23 2025. Booked through easyjet as half board and we cannot fault the hotel or it's wonderful staff. The location is perfect, right on beach, the outside veranda where you can have your morning coffee is perfect. Didn't go in the pool as we was on the beach daily but the hotel was always spotlessly clean. We had side sea view room 306. Despite being opposite lift and top of stairs, we was never disturbed by noise at any point of our stay. Bed comfy, towels super fluffy and even provided beach towels for your stay. Room cleaned most days. Room was basic with lovely balcony and view, shower was great! Staff were lovely, so friendly and helpful. Only ate breakfast as we was out in stalis every night for dinner but breakfast was great, good choice of continental and cooked. Overall, loved the hotel and staff and would choose to stay here again! Highly recommend 👌"

Alai, Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort Hotels in Stalida

Alai, Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort

"Booked a cheap deal on the internet and was not sure what we would get, but needn't have worried. The Zephyros Beach Hotel is fabulous! On arrival, were met with a cool drink while we checked in. Reception area cool, clean and modern. We were escorted to our room which was lovely. Again, very clean, modern and comfortable. Very comfy beds, efficient air con, balcony with view of pool and sea, a fridge and tea and coffee making facilities. The towels and bedding in the room were changed every 2 days and the room was cleaned daily. We stayed on a half board basis. The food was always fresh and constantly being topped up. There was plenty of choice at both breakfast and evening meal. The pool area was very nice, with plenty of sun beds, and pool towels are provided. Just beyond the pool was direct access to the lovely sandy beach, again with sunbeds and umbrellas. Perhaps what made the holiday complete was the staff at The Zephyros. Reception, waiters, cleaners, all unfailingly friendly, helpful and polite. Apparently this is the first year that this hotel has been promoted in the UK. There were many guests from Holland, Germany and Poland and the Ukraine, which made a lovely international mix. We enjoyed not being part of a large British contingency. All in all we had a wonderful holiday and I would not hesitate to recommend the Zephyros Beach Hotel. Just a quick thanks to Broadway travel, who arranged everything for us. Very efficient and helpful."

Amazones Villas Apartments Hotels in Stalida

Amazones Villas Apartments

"If your face fits you will fit in well and if also go back year after year you will definatly fit in well in this hotel. The owners don't like you to complian and if you do he gives you a right attitude. The rooms are very dirty and minging and dated. We paid for Bed and Breakfast BREAKFAST Continental haha Greek Yoghurt with honey. Cheese,Tomato,Hard Boiled Egg,Ham,Toast. NO Fruit or any thing else you would expect and if you wanted a cooked breakfast have to pay extra for it. BEDROOM were dusty and never been cleaned all the time we were there the mattress are full of marks. Bedding and towels changed every 3 days. 2 single beds which were bunk beds seperated. KITCHEN was greasy and full of dirt couldn't make anything to eat due to rusty cutlery and the cups had never been washed and the bench was all stained and small. The microwave still worked when you opened the door also the enamel missing from inside. The draw where the pans were which looked like they had seen better days all I can say it looked like mouse dropping inside. No washing up liquid provided so had to buy our own. BATHROOM The toilet was dirty especially around the rim and the toilet seat. The seal around the toilet and shower all full of mould and dirty. The shower tray was full of yellow marks also the sink was full of yellow marks and dirty. The shower leaked all over the floor when used if and if you are tall you can move the shower head also the more water pressure the shower head moved itself. LIVING AREA The room had a door which was a connecting door to next appartments bedroom which we were able to hear everything and mean everything. The settee cover was dirty and dusty and seen better days. There was a broken socket just left open. The curtain on patio doors was full of marks. The tv had 2 english channels bbc news and sky news. If you want a view well this is not the hotel you want as you look at the back of another hotel. POOL AREA was relevantly clean but sunbeds were dirty yes people lie on them all season but nothing a rub down with soapy water from the owners will cure at least once a week. Crazy golf unusable. DON'T WANT OR EXPECT 5☆ LUXURY JUST WANTED TO BE CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE AND BE ABLE TO MAKE A SANDWICH WHEN WE WANTED ONE."

Cactus Royal Spa & Resort Hotels in Stalida

Cactus Royal Spa & Resort

"Just returned from one week’s stay with a friend at The Cactus Royal Hotel & Spa in Stalis. Had a fantastic time from start to finish. The staff could not have been friendlier, food was varied, fresh and delicious. Something for everyone’s taste. The room was clean, bedlinen changed with clean towels every 2 days. Our room was on the second floor, stairs to room, no lift, but was lovely and quiet with a pool view. Beds were super comfortable. Bathroom was modern with fantastic powerful shower, with shower gel and shampoo provided. Plenty of sunbeds every day by the pools and lovely beach only a couple of minutes walk away. (The sunbeds and parasol on the beach were 18 euros!) Hotel in very nice location with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants just outside the hotel - nice for an evening stroll. The only downside was the airport. We arrived at 6.30pm and our luggage arrived on one conveyor belt with luggage from 2 other flights, so chaos with people standing 3 deep around the belt. A bit of a scramble to reach your bag! By the time we left the airport we had waited an hour and a half and then it was another hour and a half transfer to our hotel. The dining room was closed but we were left some salad and a bread roll which we ate on our balcony around 9.45pm,all quite adequate. All in all we would recommend this hotel and would return."

I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa Hotels in Stalida

I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa

"We had a fabulous 8 night stay at IResort in Stalis, Crete. From the start to finish nothing was overlooked. The welcome was lovely. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman who gave us all of the details we needed for our stay. He also ensured we had a snack and the mini bar was full as we arrived at the hotel at 4am due to delays. The bar staff / waiters/ waitresses were so attentive and friendly, always a smile and nothing was too much bother. The views from the outside seating area were absolutely gorgeous, overlooking the beach. We visited the Salty Restauraunt and that experience was lovely too, sat at the side of the sea eating delicious food. The all inclusive food was actually really good. We never went hungry, and you can tell that the chefs take pride in what they are delivering for their guests. The spreads each day looked fresh, appetising and tasted that way too. There was a good selection and there were themed nights for food as well. The entertainment team “Pink Waves” were so welcoming and didn’t apply pressure for involvement. Adrianna and Olivia were fabulous and had such a great time being involved in the hotel entertainment in the evening, and I really enjoyed the water aerobics during the mornings. This hotel has made us love Greece even more and Crete is absolutely beautiful. There is also a wonderful excursion place directly opposite the hotel and the two ladies that run that are just a delight to deal with. Overall from cleaning staff, reception staff, waiting staff, entertainment, literally everyone we came into contact with has been instrumental in making this such a beautiful holiday. The room was always cleaned to a high standard and the beds were super comfy. The amenities in the room were fab - although we did have to ask for an iron and ironing board as this wasn’t standard - there was no extra cost for this and they let us keep hold of them for the entire holiday."

"Toni and his mum are both exceptional, from the breakfast to their local knowledge. The room was spotless, close enough to enjoy the town far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet. You will not be disappointed if you book here."

Smaragdine Beach Hotel Hotels in Stalida

Smaragdine Beach Hotel

"SUPER location! Friendly owner, clean, quiet. Family-run. Pleasant rooms with a side balcony. Bathroom with a window and a decent size. Includes a refrigerator and free Wi-Fi. The Wi-Fi was switched off in the evening. Fresh hand and bath towels three times in just eight nights! Breakfast included fruit, cold cuts, yogurt, two types of bread, jam, honey, olives, and delicious pears and cocktail tomatoes. The coffee was a bit weak for our taste. We weren't expecting much from a two-star hotel, but we were pleasantly surprised. No frills, ideal for relaxation, just lounging on the beach and reading. We are 100% beachgoers!"

Rainbow Apartments Hotels in Stalida

Rainbow Apartments

"On our third day our room was infested with ants. They were in the bathroom and bedroom, even on the bed. We had left the room clean. We asked to be moved but the receptionist (who was lovely) spoke to her manager who insisted they had no rooms free. The manager herself came, and was extremely rude, not even introducing herself, just bursting into our room to see ‘what the problem was’, refusing to reimburse us if we had to find another hotel. They offered to clean the room but had no solution if the ants came back!"

Sunshine Studios & Apartments Hotels in Stalida

Sunshine Studios & Apartments

"Just left the Sunshine studios after 10 nights bed and breakfast and had an excellent time. All the staff are friendly and helpful and always have time for a conversation. The rooms and grounds are kept clean and tidy. The only down point was going home .A big thank you to Kostas and his crew."

Heliotrope Apartments ★★★
"We stayed at Heliotrope Apartments in July 2025 and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The accommodation was extremely dirty – cockroaches were present in several areas of the apartment. Despite an immediate complaint on site, nothing was done, neither cleaning nor a room change. The staff showed absolutely no interest. The incident was also reported multiple times via the booking platform Agoda, including photographic evidence. Nevertheless, we were only offered a very small compensation, which in no way reflects reality. The apartment was unacceptable in this condition, and the provider's response was disappointing. I cannot recommend this accommodation and strongly advise caution when booking it."

Malliotakis Beach Hotel "by Checkin" ★★★
"Friendly staff, prices up comparing to other beaches (15€ two sunbeds and one umbrella) but there's distance between sunbeds and you can breathe the breeze not the others feet. You can use also the pool of the hotel. Food is good, tasty, the service is a little slow but ok."

Eleni Beach Hotel ★★★
"Just returned from a week at Stalis Eleni Beach Hotel Apartments. Positives Room was lovely, newly refurbished and the front sea view was amazing. Free air conditioning Negatives No security or discipline whatsoever. No lift so 36 steps to the 1st floor. Walls are so thin and you can hear everything in the next room/corridor. Unmanned reception. Even when you arrive you have to go to the other hotel to check in etc. Like a club 18/30 in the night. People in the pool till 2am in the morning. Had to contact the other hotel reception to get the people out of the pool. People on balconies,talking, shouting with music playing till all hours. Dirty pool area with green algae and empty bottles left around. Glass balustrade around pool area filthy. Cockroaches and rubbish on the approach area to reception, after 2 days has to ask for it to be cleaned up. Noisy pool area, adults left their children alone there, bombing and really noisy, shouting and screaming. Towels on beds every day, reserving beds. Not once did we use the pool. If you want a peaceful balcony to sit on in the evening this is not the hotel for you as the balcony overlooks the pool. People in there till late in the evening, even though the pool closes at 7pm. We are a couple in our 50's who wanted a chilled, quiet, relaxing break. We didn't get it. I would definitely not stay here again."
