Dionysos Apartments & Studios

We have been going to Stalis for a few years and do not book or look at other properties. Absolutely love this property meets all our requirements. Great hosts, rooms perfect, lovely food ,10 minute walk to beach and bars and restaurants

Nothing to dislike

Our apartment was right beside the pool, with our own seating area a few steps from the beautiful large well kept pool! The apartments are run by a lovely greek family who will go out of their way to help any problem or query you may have. We feel really comfortable here and the family all speak very good English!

Having to leave!

I stayed at Dionysos as I moved from Rethymnon to Stalis as a last minute decision. I have stayed previously 3 years ago so knew what to expect. The rooms are very basic and dated compared to the nice pool area. If you want cheap and cheerful its ok and its a nice stroll into Stalis centre. I think it was the owners daughter who checked me in, she was friendly. I did see people eating and the food looked good.

I have stayed twice and the guy behind the bar at night who I presume is the owner doesn't seem very welcoming. I walked past him every night and he didnt acknowledge me at all. Didnt make me feel I wanted to sit at the bar and have food.

we tried to order breakfast at 10.55 one day and was told breakfast finnishes at 11.00 so no breakfast there was no one else at the pool bar for food so why couldnt do breakfast was a bit strange. The owner Alex was nice and friendly and his oldest daughter Effi very nice people the other daughter was very abrupt. All in all we enjoyed our stay but got the feeling everything was about money to them as we paid for air conditioning when we arrived it didnt work so we asked if they could look at it for us they came but still did not work kept saying an engineer will come on the third day we said no point having the air con could we have our money back to which they replied we would get a refund on 30 euros which we paid 130 euros for we stated we had not been able to use the aircon as we had to keep restarting it every half hour we eventually got 45 euros in total couldnt be bothered arguing any more. poor management skills in my opinion as we wont be going back again after the experiences and we travel to Stalis at least twice a year also on the weekends the owners family and friends come over with all thier kids and take over the pool and pool area which in my opinion is bad manners its not the kids but the pool was overcrowded and the pool area so felt very uncomfortable when we had paid for a relaxing holiday.

WE arrived Saturday afternoon pool was very quiet and comfortable Sunday came and the owners family arrived at the pool we were not to bothered at this as this is Greek way but the next Saturday and Sunday the pool area was full of the owners family and friends and nowhere for the guests to sit comfortabily the pool was full of thier kids shouting and as paying guests we foud this rude and unacceptable. We were put in a very dinghy room not much daylight and overlooking a dirt track road we asked if we could upgrade to be told no they were fully booked and this room was allocted to the operator we had booked with so nothing could be done
