Stalida hotels

Pros: Location is great, price is attractive, wonderful breakfast.

Cons: Dinner was a bit boring. But It's a nice little hotel.

Pros: Nice gardens and lovely cats, clean, good food and AI programm.

Cons: If you are over 1.9m, ceiling in shower will be very close to your head. Table tenis is really outdated/worn (especially rackets).

Pros: (all inclusive) The staff at this resort were amazing (with the odd exception). They were attentive in the restaurant, friendly at the bars and generally great. The ambience of the hotel is relaxed, with well-maintained gardens containing a variety of colourful plants. There are plenty of cats, however they mostly keep to themselves and don't hassle guests for food (the hotel has a feeding station if you want to feed them which probably helps this). Our room was one of the beach-front bungalows which had it's own sun loungers and a nice view in the morning of sunrise and the ocean. Despite being by the small road it was quiet. The hotel also offers a menu for pillows, should the ones provided not be hard/soft enough. Coffee/tea facilities were also available in the room, along with a fridge. The food at the main restaurant was great. Every day there was a different variety of food to choose from, with every dish being tasty. Some nights were themed nights (e.g Cretan) and there is always fresh fruit in addition to the hot dishes. Drinks are brought to your table by the staff. Various entertainment was offered both in the main bar and by the pool some evenings. The entire hotel was very clean. Just when you think something could do with cleaning, someone was already there cleaning it. Location was okay, there are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance and you can just about walk to Malia (although Stalis was nicer and livelier in October). I would recommend Rovers Return Inn for regular live music. Along the sea front are sandy beaches with various themed bars and cheap sun loungers (all much nicer than the hotel's own beach). Would we recommend it? Yes.

Cons: There is no pool bar and hasn't been for years. One of the reasons for picking this hotel over others was the prospect of enjoying drinks in the pool. The bar has since been boarded up on one side and converted into a snack bar where you can sit and enjoy your food, however you can't even order the food or drinks directly there, one has to go to the other bar to order. Not only can you no longer get drinks at the pool bar but you get shouted at for taking any drink and sitting in the pool at the snack bar. Instead, the area is filled with children on inflatables. The À la carte restaurant is not available for guests staying less than 7 nights, not that this information is stated anywhere. Even in the room it is stated that the À la carte restaurant is free for all-inclusive guests. When staying 7 nights or more you are given 1 voucher to reserve a table from the main restaurant. Allergy information in the main restaurant was not accurate, however the staff were extremely friendly and helpful with the head chef offering to cook you meals specifically, if you inform them in advance. The beach by the hotel is pretty small and not worth using, there are much nicer areas slightly further up the beach that can be used. No all-inclusive service is offered at the beach. WiFi completely unusable The amount of plastic waste generated by this hotel is shocking. All drinks from the bar nearest the pool come in small disposable-plastic cups which are then thrown away rather than using re-usable more durable plastic cups. Any water used behind the bar comes out of small plastic bottles. There were recycling bins available but hidden behind the snack bar so were never used. The spa facilities at the hotel are poor at best. There are 2 small rooms containing a sauna and a steam room each, of which both were extremely dated and uninviting. The indoor pool connected to the "spa" was cold.

Pros: The beach

Cons: Bruyant proximité de la route And the expected king bed was a too twin beds

Pros: Food is great! Staff is very helpful!

Cons: WiFi - mostly was not working. Have trouble doing any online activity

Pros: Exquisite food, exceptionally professional staff and the beautiful garden.

Cons: Nothing notable

Pros: Very clean. Extremely friendly staff, very kind hospitality, way beyond what is required (examples: early check in and a late breakfast on the morning of our arrival; early breakfast especially for us on the last morning).

Cons: The wifi signal was weak and inconsistent. The resort's layout does not give a real sense of privacy. Not enough parking spots.

Cons: This resort is not for one night in order to really get the most out of it, otherwise seems little value for the money.

Pros: The staff at this hotel are extremely helpful & friendly. It's a very well laid out hotel & we didn't hear any noise from other residents. The food is excellent & they had different theme nights. Would definitely go back.

Pros: All inclusive, breakfast and dinner buffets were unexpectedly delicious with various themes each day.

Cons: Quite a lot of insects inside the room.

Pros: So nice place for holidays. Excellent service, clean rooms. Owners were careful, lovely and welcoming. They treated us with delicious Crete dishes and drinks, also fresh vegetables, watermelons. A housekeeper Helena is so amazing. She cooked tasty treats, including the Greek tzazaki, Dakos and others, clean every day. So wonderful place, comfortable atmosphere that you want to return here again and again. The apartments is located on the seaside. The closet beaches are sandy. Quite and pleasant place. Good parking on the territory, new modern furniture, soft pillows, good air condition with various modes.

Pros: Everything was excellent

Pros: This is our 5 th stay here and we love the quiet friendly nature of it. The manager is on site every day and will resolve any issues (not that we ever had any) would say it’s not really for teenagers as only has pools on site and we all know how bored kids get.

Pros: Friendly staff providing great customer service. Very good evening meals with a reasonable selection to suit most tastes.

Cons: Limited choice of meats/cheese for continental breakfast.

Pros: Staff, value

Cons: Something they can’t do anything about, but position is not quite ideal

Pros: bed was super comfy !!!!! everything was so clean and spotless. the staff were so welcoming. The food was good to say it was all inclusive and always something for you to eat all times of the day. Little dessert treats round the pool at 16.00 was very nice.

Cons: we had had the all inclusive package so the mini fridge was included in our price. But it wou8ld have been nice to have a kettle or tea making facilities in the room. In each all inclusive hotel ive been in we still had tea making facilties. But it wasn't to much of a problem.

Pros: Very friendly staff and a warm environment, close to the seaside. Pleasant pools, with pool bars open long hours. Well organized entertainment, every evening. The cuisine comprises a wide range of traditional dishes, as well as vegetarian and healthy diet.

Pros: This was my third visit to Kryiakos,I love it. Stalis is a great resort with loads of choices to take day trips and visit the surrounding countryside,as well as a great choice of restaurants and bars in the immediate area.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hosts were very friendly; accommodating; the premises were 5 minutes away from beach which offered some peaceful downtime when back in the hotel. Premises were excellent and the best location for the money. The hosts had a party with excellent food and dancing by the pool. They made us feel very welcome and as if we were family! They would be my choice for staying there if visit the same area.

Cons: All was terrific!

Pros: The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff despite a family loss they still looked after us as usual

Cons: Nothing for us others have mentioned the noise from the road but with doors shut it was ok. It was great fun sat watching the crazy driving.

Pros: The place itself was very clean and was worth the price.

Cons: The location was right on the main road so traffic noise was a nuisance.

Pros: didn't take breakfast.

Cons: bar prices could have been lower

Pros: the rooms were spacious and very clean. The owners were so friendly and helpful We was near everything we needed A brilliant holiday

Cons: Nothing Everything was perfect I thought it a bit unfair that you had to pay for the air conditioning on top of your room, you were only made aware of this on arrival

Pros: Spotlessly clean, run by a very friendly family. Can’t do enough for you.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Family very friendly and made you feel welcome. Nothing was too much. Very Clean, towels, sheets changed regularly and bins, apartment cleaned almost daily with exception of Sunday. Food and drinks all good. Pool small but clean and not too busy being a small complex. Great value for money. Excellent location. Would highly recommend and will be returning next year.

Pros: Clean and hospitable 3 star hotel with direct beach access. Functional rooms and very friendly staff - a family owned and run hotel. Nice pool and poolside bar.

Cons: Breakfast fits the basic needs - it‘s absolutely sufficient but some customers might expect more. We were satisfied!

Pros: The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, the hotel was modern, clean and in a great location close to everything, beach, shops, restaurants. We would highly recommend anybody to stay here!

Pros: Staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was fab!

Pros: Great hotel run by lovely family. Very comfortable beds, great air con fantastic location. Would highly recommend and hope to return sometime.

Pros: The fabulous location on the beach and the family who own and run it were so friendly and determined to ensure each guest had the best possible experience. I loved everything out our stay there and will return in the future.

Cons: I loved everything about this hotel - nothing negative.

Pros: The breakfast was great. The room was smaller than expected, but it was still suitable. Staff were very helpful and friendly - they went the extra mile.

Cons: On night 2 there were people swimming at early hours of the morning which kept us up - usually there is a time that the pool should be closed/ no swimming allowed after a certain hour at night. We were charged a fee by the hotel to use the beach day beds, which we were very disappointed about as we were staying at the hotel. If it was a third party we would understand, but it was the hotel that charged the cash fee.

Pros: Staff are very friendly, location is superb, the rooms are kept very clean

Cons: Would prefer options for breakfast, it's too basic. No kettles in rooms, no room service. Bar area is noisy, please keep it down after 11pm. A man and a woman were also "enjoying themselves" in the early hours of Sunday morning for the entire hotel to hear..

Cons: Room view on a road, so I slept with a closed window. It was really noisy.

Pros: The location, the staff, the pool, the beach- no complaints whatsoever!

Cons: Everything was perfect.. ☺️ If I was to be very very picky, we would have liked different options for breakfast, but still can't fault the hotel.,

Pros: We love everything about Latania,

Cons: Nothing to dislike except having to go home

Pros: Comfortable, well appointed, clean apartment in good central location. Friendly helpful staff

Cons: The electric magnet being attached to the room key.

Pros: manos and staff are great very friendly and very clean the cleaners do a excellent job it's in a great location cant wait to go back again

Pros: Beautiful spacious apartments. Perfect location for the beach and numerous bars & restaurants. The staff are so kind & friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The gardens & flowers are stunning & a big big thank you to Manos & Kostas from the Bar who work very hard to ensure you have the best holiday .

Pros: Fantastic location just off main road, 30m from beach, maid came every day, friendly staff, good snack bar and cocktail menu

Cons: Maid didn’t sweep floors so there was constantly hair everywhere, (I wouldn’t have minded cleaning myself but no broom available) place felt very ‘cliquey’ with regulars, sun loungers not too comfy and pool area very small but lovely. A few very rowdy lower class people swearing on their phones and kids running riot with no control. Not the hotels fault! Best for people who want a cheap room and spend most time out and about!

Pros: The staff were really friendly and dedicated to make our stay as pleasurable as possible. The rooms were a really good size with plenty of room for storage and were cleaned daily. The location was really good, quiet at night and close to the main strip. The resort was lovely, there was a good mix of bars and restaurants mainly greek.

Cons: Nothing, it was a really great value for money hotel. Manos and his team were all really friendly and helpful. The hotel was set back from the strip which made it really quiet, but 30 seconds to get onto the main strip.

Pros: The staff, the location, the pool all of it was amazing

Cons: That it rained one day

Pros: Absolutely beautiful!!!

Cons: Pool area is too small!!!! should be made bigger

Pros: We like the cheerful attitude of all the staff. Nothing too much for them

Cons: poor choice of non alcoholic drink with evening meal. The only English speaking TV channel was BBC World News Channel. The safe is expensive to use.

Pros: Everything was perfect

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: It's cosy and clean. staff friendly and most of the time very helpful :)

Cons: Not front beach. But otherwise all really ok.

Pros: The out side at the front of the apartment where the bar is looked nice at night time. It was nice to receive bottles of water when first arrived. Also the rooms were clean.

Cons: The pool wasn’t very clean, It looked bigger on the pictures and didn’t like the location as it was a bit to far for me and my family to walk all the way into Stalis. The rooms were a bit to compacted for my liking.

Pros: Location. Cleanliness. Value for money. Pool

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Rooms big

Cons: No music at pool,bar area at pool never staffed,had to use other bar at front of hotel.Poor bbq night

Pros: The location was good albeit that its not next to the beech which the photos imply. The rooms were a comfortable size and the bar had a nice atmosphere. The rooms are not as attractive as they look on the photos though.

Cons: The toilet leaked and there was an uncomfortable smell (sewage) in the apartment (they were clearly aware of this as the cleaner always left the windows open). The beds were not comfortable and (they are very hard and in need to a mattress topper. They also have a plastic ish sheet on them which is great for hygiene but very comfortable to sleep on). The owner / manager was categorically abrupt and seemed very stressed. The WiFi didn't work.

Pros: Location was just perfect . Few steps from our room and we were on the beautiful beach in Stalis . Gorgeous breakfast every morning sitting out looking at the blue sea . Our room was really lovely and although it was a garden view room it was still facing the sea front . We were close to all the fab bars and restaurants of Stalis too . We will 100% be back !

Pros: Location was perfect and the staff are so kind they make you feel at home.

Pros: When writing a review for Talgo Suites we literally don't know where to begin with the praise. The owners Peter & Marianna are extremely welcoming and friendly and so is the rest of the staff. You will feel the good atmosphere the moment you enter the building. Of course we were also wondering whether everything is as nice as on the pictures - and all we can say is: It is even prettier when you're there than the already amazing pictures suggested. An absolute highlight is also the food in the own hotel bar that is open around lunch time until early evening. No matter what dish we ordered, we received it with an outstanding quality that left us wanting more. Same goes for the drinks - all cocktails and wines we tried where good quality and Pavlos our waiter a great host as well. You can clearly tell Talgo Suites is run by people who have passion about making their guests have the best possible time. And this review did not mention yet the outstanding location at the sandy beach, the ocean waves you'll hear when sleeping with open window or the terrace where you can watch sunset and sun rise. Neither did we mention all the little details like a surprise drink we got for my wife's birthday or a small breakfast "to go" as we had to leave very early due to a flight schedule change. We can only recommend it to everybody - and we will definitely be back next year.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: We've chosen Talgo Suites for our Honeymoon travel. And I would say it was very very good choise! Marianna and Peter (owners) were so friendly! Place is lovely and comfortable, very quiet, relaxing and beautiful. The beach is very clear and really near to the Talgo Suites. All staff were perfectly good and well qualified. This is pure 10/10! We recommend this place for everyone who wants a "real vacation" and to relax, enjoy the beautiful view and lovely ambiance.

Pros: Everything. The room is beutifly designed and very clean, the terrace outside were you eat is lovely. The food was fresh and tasty. And the most wonderful thing is the staff- always with a smile and ready to help. Peter and Marianna the owners were soooo nice!

Cons: The Hotel is perfect. What I didn't like was the narrow beach and the winds on this side of the island. The coastline is full of sunbeds.. If you're looking for isolated place- Stalis is not the place. But if you d'ont mind and you want a lot of restaurants and giftshops only 30 min. from Heraklion then this Hotel is the best.

Pros: Absolutely lovely hotel with best location right on the sand beach, we fell in love immediately, Pavlos and Peter were really kind and serve us really good. Really good breakfast also. Great for families and couples.

Pros: We felt happiness and relax during our 2 weeks of stay. This is not only because of clean, cosy and lovely apartments in a white Greek style , and a wonderful sea view from our terrace , or the excellent location - the beach is just in 30 meters from the apartments , it is sandy and has very good entrance to the sea, but mainly because of owners and warm friendly atmosphere which Peter and Marianna has arranged there. They were ready to help in every question . We became friends and surely will warm remember our unforgettable moments in Creta . Thank you , Peter and Marianna!

Cons: It was not critical for us , if just something to improve, is Wi-Fi connection. All the rest is wonderful and highly advised to stay here!

Pros: Situated near the beach of Stalis and not far from Malia clubs.

Cons: It suits more or less package tourism followers.

Pros: Friendly staff, clean and very close to the beach. We felt safe and very welcome. Spacious apartments surrounded by nice, green gardens. We highly recommend it to anyone. We will be back one day soon.

Pros: Awesome location!!! Great staff and rooms. Pool, breakfast, everything was really great. 5 minutes walking to the sea
