Location

• You are in Stalis on Crete’s north coast, a chilled seaside resort known for its long sandy beach, shallow clear water and easy-going holiday mood.

• Stalis centre is around 600m away, so tavernas, cafés and little shops are close enough for an easy wander.

• If you fancy mixing quiet beach days with livelier scenes, Malia is about 4km away and Hersonissos is around 3.5km to 4km away.

• There is a bus stop nearby, and Heraklion Airport is around 30km away, so getting here is nice and easy.

• Great for day trips too, with Knossos Palace and Heraklion roughly 33km away, plus excursions like Spinalonga, Jeep Safari and Santorini cruises on the cards.

Rooms

• Room choices cover everything from Superior Rooms and Premium Sea View Rooms to Junior Suites, sea-front bungalows and private pool suites.

• Across the board, rooms come with Wi-Fi, individually controlled air conditioning, a 50 inch Smart TV, mini fridge, tea and coffee facilities, bathrobes, slippers and organic amenities.

• Superior Rooms sleep up to 3 and keep things simple and stylish with calming garden views plus a balcony or terrace.

• Premium Sea View Rooms bring those extra wow-factor views, while Junior Suites give you more space to stretch out in style.

• Sea Front Bungalows put you just steps from the water, which is very main-character of them.

• If you are feeling extra, the private pool room options dial up the luxury with your own splash space and serious bragging rights.

Food & Drink

• There is 1 main restaurant, 2 à la carte restaurants and 3 bars, so safe to say you will not be going hungry or thirsty here.

• Théros, the fully renovated main restaurant, dishes up American-style breakfast with live cooking, Mediterranean lunches and themed international dinners in a bright sea-view setting.

• Meal times are generous too, with breakfast from 07:45 to 11:00, late breakfast until 11:30, lunch from 12:30 to 14:30, dinner from 18:30 to 21:30 and late snacks until 22:45.

• Ammos serves Mediterranean and international dishes by the sea, while Elaía brings Greek flavours with a gorgeous coastal backdrop.

• Staying 7 nights or more means you get one complimentary dinner per stay at one of the à la carte restaurants, which feels like a tasty little bonus.

• For drinks, Gaía Bar covers branded spirits and cocktails, Ammos Bar keeps the poolside sips and snacks coming, and Blue Bar is the go-to for stylish evening drinks.

Sports & Entertainment

• You also get an indoor heated pool in May and October, plus a fitness room if you fancy squeezing in a quick workout between cocktails.

• Free sunbeds and umbrellas are available by the pool and gardens for all guests, while all inclusive guests also get them on the beach.

• There is plenty to keep things moving too, from table tennis and darts to billiards and nearby watersports through an external supplier.

• Aegeo Spa is on hand when you want to swap action for full-on relaxation with massages and beauty treatments.

• Come evening, there is day and night animation, live music, folklore dance shows and themed dinner or BBQ events on selected nights.
