Erg mooi appartement met goede voorzieningen, een prachtig zwembad en heel vriendelijke mensen
Pros:

De kamer was echt heel mooi en wij hadden echt een geweldig uitzicht over zee. Ons appartement had een heel groot dakterras met een jacuzzi met mooie ligbedden en een tuin-set waar je lekker kon ontbijten. Het complex zelf is erg mooi aangelegd en en je zit op minder dan 5 minuten lopen van het strand. En wat ook fijn is dat er een supermarkt(je) direct naast het appartementen complex zit, en dat is erg handig als je iets nodig hebt of een ontbijt wil kopen in de ochtend.

Cons:

Het geluid van het verkeer over de weg die voor het appartementen complex loopt is jammer. De straat was best druk en dan hoor je best wat verkeersgeluid. Binnen in het appartement had je er gelukkig geen last van, maar eigenlijk alleen als je buiten zit op het dakterras zat. Maar dat is wel de plek waar je bij dit appartement je tijd het meest wil doorbrengen.

Beautiful Rainbow
Pros:

We were met with a super warm welcome and helpful guidance about the hotel and the area.
Our room, the Superior Double, was immaculate, very comfortable and spacious, and the two balconies, furnished and with a view were a real bonus.
We enjoyed the modern, stylish facilities very much.
We would not hesitate to stay here again next time we pass through Stalida - it is a great resting point when travelling between the West, the East and the South of the island.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like!

Perfect location! Awesome staff! Amazing apartment!
Pros:

Amazing stay from start to finish! Clean, large apartment with everything you need for self catering. Comfy beds, lush toiletries and plenty of hot water. Food and drinks from the pool bar were great, as was David the barman! Plenty of sunbeds around the pool (although too cold to swim in April!). 5 minute walk to beach, shops and restaurants.

Cons:

Nothing negative to say at all - I will be coming back x

We LOVE IT❤️❤️❤️😊😊
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Our stay at Rainbow Apartments in Stalida was nothing short of exceptional — truly a 10-star experience! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed, comfortable, and completely taken care of. The wonder , and perfectly located, making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment.

What truly sets this place apart is the incredible hospitality. A very special thank you to Maria 1 and Maria 2 — both of them went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care created such a warm, family-like atmosphere that you simply can’t find everywhere.

We would like to offer our sincere gratitude and thanks for everything. It’s rare to find a place that makes you feel so at home while on vacation.

If you’re visiting Stalida, look no further — this is the place to stay. We will absolutely be coming back!

Pros:

We had an exceptional stay! If only we could have stayed longer! The staff was friendly and helped us figure out the best things to see nearby. My kids loved the playground and ordering treats from the cafe by the pool. I hope we can come back! Excellent value.

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.
