Dias Hotel & Apts

Absolutely fantastic great place absolutely loved our stay here the place was clean and tidy the pool are was beautiful the seating area everything we loved it not a far walk to the town and the beach we will be back

Just returned from a week at this lovely complex,room was very spacious, food excellent staff couldn't be more welcoming george on bar in the evening was great guy as was staff during daytime, ten minutes to stalis centre, plenty of beds round the pool, looking forward to returning there in the coming years

Fantastic, basic but absolutely spotless, great breakfast. Staff great. Pool great. The only thing not so good was the sun was gone over the pool around 2.30pm but that’s not the fault of the hotel. Booked to go back.

Had a lovely stay at the Dias. Our room was lovely and big with a separate bedroom and with a view to the sea and a glimpse of the swimming pool. The staff were very friendly and the cleaner works exceptionally hard. Special thanks go to Maria who served our breakfast and looked after us. This place is about a 5 - 10 minute walk to all the main shops and restaurants so was really quiet. Certainly would not hesitate to go back here!!!

It's with a degree of sadness that I have to say that we were quite disappointed with our stay at this establishment and we won't be going back. We have stayed on numerous Greek Islands and stayed at numerous Greek hotels, apartments and studios over the years. We love Greece and we know what to expect. We know that Greek 3, 4, or 5 star ratings might not always match up with standard expectations of 3, 4 or 5 star ratings but this particular establishment is vastly over-rated, both by the establishment and by Jet2. We went with Jet2 on a package holiday and we felt on arrival that the photographs and the information on the Jet2 web site relating to this establishment were very misleading. These are not 'Luxury' studios or apartments by any stretch of the imagination ( or, at least, ours wasn't.. !! ) We were 'self-catering'.. The apartment offered a toaster and a toasted sandwich-maker. We were expecting a small 'Baby Belling' style cooker.. two hot plates with a small oven.. as we had used in many other apartments and studios.. We asked for a cooker at reception, thinking one may have been removed for repair/replacement. Again, our expectations were a little optimistic.. we were left a single hot plate ( at the expense of the toasted sandwich maker.. which was removed from the apartment.) So, as even Jamie Oliver would have struggled to make a one pan wonder on what was barely a camping hot plate, we decided to try the food at the bar. The bar, we found out, stops serving food at 17.00. Barely lunchtime by Greek standards.. so you are left with very limited options if you actually want to 'self-cater' .. Fortunately there are a number of Tavernas and restaurants in Stalis and nearby Malia who offer a delivery option. The swimming pool is very small and the limited supply of sun beds are all very close together and 'sardined' in around the pool. Hotel rules clearly state that sunbeds shouldn't be 'reserved' by putting towels out on them but in reality this happened every day.. a family of 4 adults managed to 'reserve' up to 8 beds for themselves at one point .. who knew that books, extra towels, water bottles etc actually need a sunbed all to themselves.. !! As is often the case these 'reserved beds' spent more time unoccupied than they did with their 'owners' in situ leaving very few 'beds' available for the other guests at the establishment who might have occasionally liked to enjoy some quiet time around the pool.. Nothing was said by the staff about this ignorant and selfish practice and having read other reviews from busier periods it would appear that this behaviour is allowed to occur on a daily basis. The glass panel between the large pool and the children's pool was filthy and needed a good clean. Our room was huge.. with very little in it.. a comfy chair would have been welcome. The shower cubicle in the bathroom was tiny, suitable only for those with advanced yoga experience or 'double-joints'.. and the drain overflowed onto the

A good hotel. Staff are extremely helpful and attentive. Maria worked hard to make sure everyone was happy and enjoyed the food on offer. Rooms were spacious and clean. Would not hesitate in recommending or visiting again. Many thanks.

Stayed at Dias with my partner for 10 days in September and I'm booking again for next September too! Wonderful and friendly hotel. The staff were all excellent. Especially George the barman who is such a laugh. Beautiful location. Views from the room were amazing. Food and drinks were good. Rooms are HUGE!!!! Some other guests did leave towels on the sunbeds but there was always some available in the afternoon so not really a problem. 100% recommended anyone to stay here

We stayed here for 10 nights at the beginning of September, we had a maisonette with a sea view, the views are stunning and the hotel is in a quiet location, we paid for the air conditioning and this was definitely needed. Out of the 10 nights we only managed to get round the pool on 1 day as people were putting towels on the sun beds in the early hours when coming back from their night out so when we got up there were no beds available! We spent everyday on the beach so never used the facilities at the hotel bar. These are definitely not “luxury” as advertised and would say they make a nice base but if you like to relax round the pool I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

My husband and I spent a week in a maisonette apartment, the apartment was very roomy , lovely and clean , and best of all a stunning view from our balcony, all staff very nice , we are off to book again for next year , well done to them all 😍
