Very good value for the money! Highly recommended! Even if it is not very new and some improvements may be necessary, we loved our 10 days stay in Stalis. We loved the pool, it was pretty clean and the water was always warm. The food was pretty decent (we had the breakfast included/free thanks to our Genius level). Not many options but enough to get you going. We ate dinner also at the location once and we payed 20 euro per person. There were enough options to satisfy anyone but not enough vegan or vegetarian options. We found our studio clean. The air conditioning worked just fine and managed to cool the whole house in an hour or two. We didn’t use the kitchenette at its potential, but it had many facilities to cook some basic foods if necessary. All in all we don’t regret our stay and would definitely recommend the location to anyone, even if it’s not recently renovated, it’s position, view and staff makes it worth.

Maybe the breakfast could be with more vegan and vegetarian options and maybe changing the menu daily so you don’t eat each day the same thing. Otherwise we don’t have anything per se to complain about.

The best thing was the view. It was fantastic, it was a pleasure to sit on the terrace in the evening and enjoy the view! The whole town and the see bay from above! Or swim in the pool and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. The beds were comfortable, there was a little lack of chairs in the room, 2 for 3 people... There was also no stove, but for us it was ok because we had booked it with dinner. Breakfast and dinner were fantastic, lots of greens, different dishes every night, also Cretan national, our thanks to the cook!

Everything was mostly nice, sometimes there was no warm water in the shower in the evenings, our terrace was almost next to the neighbor's balcony. If you don't have a car, you have to walk 15 minutes to the bus stop on a steep street, but we didn't have a problem with that! It is also almost 1 km to the beach with sand, but we love walking.

The apartment was spacious with commanding views. The staff were friendly and helpful. They provided a wonderful buffet for breakfast and for dinner.

WONDERFUL MARIA We stayed in Mariamare Apartments for 5 nights, and we must say the service extended to us by the staff was exceptional; unlike any place we have ever stayed in before. Being a Muslim family, we were happy to eat vegetables and fish, and definitely didn't expect any halal meat. On the first night we arrived, however, we found only a couple veg options and were a bit disappointed. The next day, on the other hand, Maria, the owner, approached us and was really making an effort to find out what we eat and what we don't eat, our preferences etc. From then on, the dinner options were truly amazing, with a lot of both meat and veg options, as well as calamari and fish. We also got a taste of some delicious traditional Greek cuisine, with Maria making a separate vegetarian moussaka for us to enjoy, as well as some special pies only made in Crete (apologies, I'm not sure of the name). One of the staff, Ralle (I'm not sure how to spell it, sorry) was also extremely friendly and was charming to talk to. In fact, all of the staff were very sweet and considerate and attended to our every need. The views from our balcony were also outstanding; we were able to see the coastline and the full moon, which rose from behind the mountains! At night, it was wonderful to enjoy a drink whilst admiring the stunning landscape. The pool was also an enjoyable experience, with plenty of sunbeds surrounding it. The rooms were big and clean, and it was a comfortable stay. Overall, this property was truly amazing and we loved our stay here.

Staff fabulous, Alex at the bar during the day is amazing Views amazing. Rooms large.

Up a steep hill, to hotel then steps to apartments. The baby pool was not cleaned once, even after we asked if it could be cleaned. We were not able to use it at all during the whole stay. Dead flies, wasps, and dirt around the edges and bottom. Was told it was due to the location. However, we have stayed in locations like this before and never had

Maria and Larry are very welcoming and make your stay as comfortable as possible

The walk up and down the hill maybe a bit much for some people but the views of Stalis and Malia are amazing.

Staff were very friendly. Pool area clean. Our room was very spacious, clean with a beautiful view over Stalis. About a 15 minute walk into town which meant it was very peaceful

There are a lot of steps. Our room was at the very top which meant a bit of a climb. Difficult when carrying luggage.

Friendly staff, bar open until 1 AM, great views, close to beach, A/C in the room, good water pressure in the shower

Ants everywhere in the apartment, food a bit bland

the owners very friendly. Also the food was really normal. Breakfast same, but the dinner they put 1 or two different dish. And the dinners really werent bad at all.

The booking says that air conditioner is 6 euro, but owner asks this year 8 euro. By the way, air conditioner is in bedroom side, so if you sit in living room and want fresh air, you cant open window or door coz air conditioner will shut down. also if child runs through door, the conditioner keeps shuting down.

Generally We loved everything! The view was just stunning. The owner Maria helpful and so kind to each of guests. The food was so tasty. All the staff members was incredible, from housekeepers to bartender. Thank you for our lovely stay guys! Love you!
