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"

"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."

Kapetánissa Concept Studios ★★★

📍 Agiou Ioanni 89, Stalida

"Absolutely fabulous stay! This was our first time staying at these beautiful new concept studios in the heart of Stalis, tucked away behind Faces Bar, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been carefully thought out. The studio is modern, spotlessly clean, stylishly decorated and exceptionally well equipped. It really is a home from home. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, including a toaster, kettle, full-size fridge freezer with complimentary bottled water, a filtered water tap, hob, toastie maker, coffee machine with pods, pots and pans, and thoughtful extras such as tea, olive oil, vinegar, salt and the most delicious local honey I’ve ever tasted. There are plenty of little touches that make all the difference, including an iron and ironing board, making it perfect for both short and longer stays. The bed deserves a special mention. It was incredibly comfortable, and the four luxurious pillows genuinely felt like sleeping on clouds. We both had an amazing night’s sleep every night. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Stalis, with everything you need just a short walk away, yet the studio is peaceful and relaxing. We honestly couldn’t fault our stay. The accommodation exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would not hesitate to return. If you’re looking for high-quality, modern accommodation with exceptional facilities and thoughtful touches, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!"

Zeus Hotels Palm Beach

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 👌"

Dionysos Apartments & Studios ★★★

📍 El. Venizelou 72, Stalida

"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."

Heliotrope Apartments

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."

Golden Bee Lifestyle

Golden Bee Lifestyle ★★★

📍 Agiou Ioanni 199, Stalida

"Quiet and beautiful hotel with very helpful and friendly staff. Whatever we needed, they immediately found solutions and gave us great recommendations for the island as well! The cuisine is fresh and delicious, the cocktails are very good, and thankfully they are generous with the alcohol. We would definitely come back!"

Malliotakis Beach Hotel
8.9 (32 reviews)

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."

Blue View Villas Hotels in Stalida

Blue View Villas

"We recently had the pleasure of staying in a Blue View Villas apartment for our holiday in Crete. The thoughtfully designed apartment block in Crete, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was exceptionally comfortable, with a modern layout and well considered details that reflected both quality and care. The overall design of the building created a calm, welcoming atmosphere that made our stay particularly enjoyable. From the outset, our host, Eva, provided an outstanding level of hospitality. Her warm introduction upon arrival immediately set a positive tone. She invited us to an introductory meeting where she shared valuable insights about the local area and offered a selection of traditional Cretan dishes. This gesture not only showcased the region’s culinary heritage but also made us feel genuinely welcomed. Breakfast on our first morning was another memorable highlight. Eva prepared a selection of homemade and home grown products sourced from her mother, offering an authentic taste of Cretan tradition. The quality and freshness of these items added a personal and meaningful touch to the start of our stay. Overall, the combination of well appointed accommodation and Eva’s exceptional hospitality made this visit truly special. Thank You Eva, looking forward to a return visit to Blue View Villas at a future point. Tony and Catherine"

"This hotel is as close to holiday heaven as you can get. The entertainment keeps everyone smiling, from morning aerobics to tribute shows at night. Our keycard didn’t work properly one evening, but David personally sorted it out, walking us to reception and ensuring we got new cards immediately. The restaurant had plenty of choice each day, and the bar was a fun place to unwind after dinner. David’s presence throughout the stay made us feel well looked after."

Maria Lambis Apartments Hotels in Stalida

Maria Lambis Apartments

"Just returned from these apartments. You couldn't ask for more, so peaceful, a 15 to 20 min walk to bars. A supermarket 2 mins away. There were 3 of us in 1 bedroom apartment, plenty of space for us. Housekeeper was so cheerful singing away, nice girl. Pool area is really nice, help yourself to a sunbed and chill. There's a bookcase there so you can help yourself to books. Girl on bar through the day was lovely and friendly. We had tuna sandwiches one day, very nice. Drinks a decent price. I could come back to these apartments on my own, it's that kind of place. Thank you for a lovely week, I just wish it was longer. There's no lift so if not mobile ask for low floor as a few stairs to go up. There could do with being more plug sockets, especially in kitchen area, we had to boil kettle on the floor."

I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa Hotels in Stalida

I Resort Beach Hotel & Spa

"We have just come back from I Resort Beach hotel where me and my husband stayed with my parents for 10 nights. Overall we had a good experience, the hotel is in a great location going out on to the beach but with shops and a resort centre on the doorstep. The staff are mostly helpful and friendly, with a special thanks to Maria and Stella on the bar, Christina in the restaurant and Alyssa on reception. The food was mainly good, with a selection of fresh food and options at all meal times. Where I found it lacking in comparison to other 5* resorts we have stayed in, in the Greek Islands was that there was no real option of a snack bar where you could get a quick lunch instead of having to go into the restaurant without having to pay extra. We found we could always get a sunbed, either on the beach or by the main pool, little chance by the infinity pool. There was also entertainment each night as well as in the day. Might not be to everyone’s taste but the entertainment team put in a lot of effort There were a couple of areas that could do with some improvement, the lunch snack bar as mentioned, the gym area was also very limited as someone who doesn’t like to use weights and have definitely had better in other hotels. Getting refills of drinks in the main dining room could also be hit and miss depending on who you asked, we sometimes needed to ask 2 or 3 times before this happened. Cleaning of the rooms and refilling of supplies also at times was hit and miss with us often needing to ask for additional shower gels, soaps, toilet rolls and the included mini fridge was never restocked for us yet it was for my parents and we were on the same board basis. We enjoyed our stay but I would say that there could definitely be some tweaks that would make it even better."

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."

"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."

"I immediately felt at home here; the place is run by a friendly mother-son team. The rooms are simple and clean, with a large refrigerator and cooking facilities. I had a large terrace at the back. The room was quiet. There's good parking in front of the building. It's a short walk to the beach and the nearest restaurants. Anyone looking for good budget accommodation will be well served here."

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."

Golden Bee Lifestyle ★★★
"First things first, stay was very good. We had swim up room. Room and whole hotel was very clean, beds comfy and bathroom spacious (I think even to big and therefore we were missing a little bit of storing space). Room service, bar and restaurant staff was professional and friendly. Main pool was with a sea view, so it was a plus. AC is also very efficient and quiet and in same time not making you having a sore throat, which is a case in some hotels using different types of AC. Food, especially lunches and dinners were good and differential Also for us location was perfect, very close to bus stop, shops (first was less than 30 m) and bars and restaurants, while not being in crowded and loud center, so you can relax in peace and quiet. So what could be improved? - storage, i.e. we were missing towel hangers, there was only one hanger in bathroom (one hook and small bar), for sure not enough for couple with bathroom, beach and hand towels - change of policy related to drinks and food near pool. You are not allowed to bring any food to the pool, even a biscuit, while in same time you can bring all drinks including coffee that then if spilled leaves and marks on sunbeds - so I don't understand logic here - change in policy related to glass. You are not allowed to take drink from a bar to private pool (swim up) because of risk of debris, but in same time you have glasses in room and you are allowed to bring drinks from outside and risk of debris is same - so again lack of consistency in approach - check door soundproofing, our door were not like 100% fit to door frame so there were some section with "holes" which was making noise from outside more heard in the room (but in general hotel is very quiet and noisy quest are not allowed - which is a big plus) - more variants of breakfast, especially thinks like omelets or sunny side up eggs were missing for me - maybe adding some basic cocktails (in limited amount) to all inclusive offer - I was personally missing gin cocktails which were only available for extra money But long story short: hotel was hotel, very clean and tidy, location also very good, so it's worth giving a shot especially if this small changes will be implemented "

"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."

"We had a wonderful stay at this Katrin suites. The atmosphere was peaceful with beautiful surroundings and a very relaxed feel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well cared for, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived. Especially George, Maria and Eirine who where exceptionally professional and friendly and made us feel at ease. Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious. The location was perfect for exploring nearby beaches and villages while still feeling quiet and away from the crowds. What really made the stay special was the personal touch — it felt much more warm and friendly than a large resort hotel. We would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming and relaxing place to stay in Crete."
