Soleil Rooms and Suites

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."

Alai, Crete, a Tribute Portfolio Resort

"We had the BEST experience at Hotel Alai. The facilities, staff and everything else completely exceeded our expectations, and created the best possible vacation for my family and I. We will most definitely return to this wonderful place."

Cactus Beach Hotel

"Pro: It is a great hotel with very clean and spacious swimming pools . Common areas are well maintained. No need to reserve sunbeds at 6 am because you can always get one. The staff in the restaurant is very well organized and there is always a free table and not very big queues (in June ) . The food was excellent and lots of variety also very tasty . There were 80% german tourists but everyone spoke English. Quite close to the beach and main road of Stalis. Rooms were spacious and quiet even though we stayed quite close to the entertainment amphitheater. Lots of children and babies so maybe not for young people who want to party. Cons: The Coffee should definitely improve, just from the maschine and not good. Also we reserved the Italian restaurant but not very good to be honest ( only salads, pasta and pizza) . Beach chairs are not included and is a little expensive in my option 18 euros/ pair."

Horizon Beach

I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa

"Just back from a lovely week at this hotel wouldn’t say it’s a 5 star though. The food is not very hot and could do with more options. We also didn’t agree with the young girl frying the eggs in the morning and using the same spatula to turn the pancakes just thinking of people with allergies and it’s not very hygienic. Also the floor was being mopped at 7.30 when we were entering for breakfast not good as the floor was slippery. It says there are 4 fancy eateries when in fact one is a snack bar converted to an Al a carte in the evening another is a roof top restaurant what you have to pay for another one was not open as it was to hot in there. The rooms are lovely rooms and are always clean not much storage space but you can manage. The night time entertainment was in the main bar very loud and not very entertaining The staff are very friendly and helpful Have stayed in better 4 star hotels"

Nikos Apartments

"My family and I have been coming to Nikos for 20 years. Recently we thought maybe it was time to try somewhere new. We were filled with disappointment and regret as nothing will ever compare to Nikos. Effie, Van and the family make Nikos apartments extra special for anyone who visits. If you want to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful Stalida then there is no better place than Nikos Apartments. We will be back next year!"

Maria Lambis Apartments

"Lovely little place which was nice and quiet. Staff are great, loved our stay. Thanks for making us feel so welcome. Would love to come back again one day. Location is very good, takes about 15 mins to walk into town which was perfect for us. Beach is a 5 minute walk away"

Eurohotel Katrin Hotel & Bungalows

Amazones Villas Apartments

"Walls were too thin, I could hear every word the neighbours said. The rooms are very dated and a throw back to the 80’s. WiFi dreadful but we were told the rooms were earthquake proof, rubbish, we’re well travelled. The only positive was that Mika was lovely. I’m always skeptical of “cash only” apartments. We won’t be returning."
