Good trip
Pros:

Good location. We had the apartement with jacuzzi, we had a big balcony. The residence is calm. A lot of space. A lot of restaurants nearby.
Beach is also very good.
Very reasonable price for the quality.
A must.

Cons:

A lot of people at the pool in the morning - they reserve their spots. Also using their inflatable toys, taking all the space in the pool, almost impossible to swim there.

Would not return due to location and steps / ramps
Pros:

First time to Stalis and if I had realised the location of these apartments I would not have booked.

Firstly the positives
Florin in cafe, Dave on the bar and Eleni on reception are lovely people.

Now the negatives
Location you cant avoid the main road its on and in order to walk into Stalis you have to negotiate one of the many grim underground passes or take your life in your hands to cross the busy A road.

Check in was stressful after a long journey as it is done by yourself via an app.

Also beware If you have any sort of mobility issues as there are literally steps everywhere lots of them and the ramps are extremely steep not great dragging luggage or coming home after a long walk.

The pool only has metal ladders so no slope or steps to get in.

The balconies are not very private and some have people walking past them or looking into each other.

We booked a superior apartment, it was very disappointing, small, in dire need of an upgrade and dark and old fashioned and very grubby looking not at all like the photos online. It was very basic. We also had to go up steps then down some more steps. There are no lifts here.

The balcony view was overlooking the pool but also over looking other apartments and you could see the sea but through the other buildings opposite and in the very far distance as you are not close to Stalis or the bars and beaches but thats my fault as I should have done more research but as I said, we were first timers to Stalis so didnt know the area.

One major disappoinment and a point of concern was the loss of a ring from the dressing table. I know it was there before we went out and my fault for not putting it in the safe or wearing it but it was of no value just a dress ring i had brought for 2 euros 50 but it looked more expensive so I didnt report it but it made me cautious of security there.

One last thing... if you book through TUI beware as you get dropped off here but on your return journey you have to drag your cases along the road and under the underpass to the Blue hotel up the road on the opposite side in order to get picked up by coach for the airport at the Public bus stop which wouldnt be great in the height of summer in 40 degree heat, it was bad enough for us, a couple in our 60s in October!

So would we return to these apartments? Has to be No from us location, steps, road, pool , quality of accommodation, location, too far out and security.

Would we recommend? No due to above.

Would we return to Stalis? Absolutely its a lovely place but next time we will book somewhere actually in Stalis easy walking to beaches bars and restaurants and with fewer steps and a better pool as we saw lots of choice whilst we were there.

Pros:

It was the perfect place to be in Stalida-just across the road from the tourist area and the beach and with a lovely aspect of the beach from our room and veranda. It also had a swimming pool that was well serviced and had plenty of beach chairs. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Our room also had a safe, making it easy to leave valuable items behind when going for a swim. The staff were lovely.

Cons:

We thought it a little strange that even though there was a kitchen, that a sponge and detergent were not included and that we needed to buy them from the supermarket next door. Tea towels were provided however.

Excellent stay.
Pros:

Very clean / modern & had an excellent stay. Close to the beach & shops. Lovely pool & would recommend.

Cons:

Arrived just after 1pm as that was the booking in time on Booking website. They said Covid times (🤷‍♀️) check in is now 3pm. So had to leave luggage & go for a walk.
Pool steps, only 2 steps & big jump into the pool. Only 2 accessible plugs in whole apartment. One in bedroom & the other kitchen. Another behind settee for TV & hard to get to. Otherwise brilliant stay.

Majutus 2 ööks
Pros:

Asukoht oli suurepärane, ilus liivarand 250m kaugusel.

Cons:

Saabumisel ei saanud me oma tuba kohe kätte ja lahkumisel oleksime pikenduse eest pidanud maksma, kuigi kompensatsioonina oleks paar tundi võinud lubada siiski tasuta kauem olla. Õhtul läks vool ära ühes toas (poole tunniga vool taastati aga lampi enne järgmist päeva kasutada ei tohtinud) sest lambi juhe läks lühisesse.

Puhkus
Pros:

Asukoht. Basseiniala oli ilus. Ja tuba oli avar.

Cons:

Duššikabiini uks paistis õrnalt läbi. 14a laps ei tundnud ennast seal mugavalt pesust tulles, sest toas olijad võisid õrnalt näha läbi ukse. Väga tore oleks, kui nad pakuksid nõudepesuks svammi ja vahendit ka.

Not A Good Start
Pros:

Booked a superior apartment and looking at photos and reviews was expecting a nice modern room. Only thing I asked for when booking was a high floor as with past experience in other hotels you don’t get much privacy in ground floor rooms outside areas. On arrival didn’t expect to have to scan app and do my own check in this did stress me out a bit however did it ok and was shown our allocated apartment 305 ground floor right next to the road of next hotel and a lovely view of the back of the laundrette. I was devastated no way could I stay here for 2wks, furniture was old apartment very dated this was not superior although I was assured it was. Asked to move but was told to check the next day. Following day I must say without any hassle we were moved to apartment 104 it was amazing modern, two balconies one with a sea view. How can two apartments totally different be classed the same ? We had a lovely time, used local buses, beach didn’t use the pool. Would go back but not to any ground floor accommodation you are overlooked with no privacy. Photos of room 305 ground floor would avoid this one if you can.
