Dionysos Apartments & Studios

We have just returned from the Dionysys Apartments in Stalis and ask you to look at all of the good posts of this lovely hotel. I needed a holiday where I could relax and enjoy sitting around the lovely clean pool, having a drink and walking only a few minutes to the beach The food was great cooked by Papa playboy and this is exactly what was achieved. It was just a wonderful experience and we will return next year. The apartment and hotel who was very clean with no complaints at all and Rula does a wonderful job keeping that way. The genuine warmth of the staff, Papa Playboy, Efi and Athena, and the stunning natural beauty of the surroundings made for an absolutely unforgettable holiday. We loved our holiday to Stallis and the Dionysos apartment's. Just waiting for June flights to be released and we will be back!!

Hard beds . Air con in lounge but not in bedroom meaning had sleep with windows open. On a main road so 24,/7 noise . No toaster or grill very basic self catering facilities had travel size kettle on top fridge/freezer. Decent bathroom &shower . Nice pool &bar &outside areas . Nice snacks. All ground floor Verandahs didn't seem get any sun . Nice reception if needed leave luggage /wait for transfer but no air-conditioning or fan so very hit. Good selection books in reception to read/borrow.. No one to meet us or tell us where to get key when arrived bar &Reception all shut everywhere in darkness..

We stayed at the Dionysos in July / August 2019. The rooms are basic but very clean. The beds are hard but not unbearable and we had to use a big hair clip to hold the shower head in place. Other than that, we had everything we needed for an enjoyable 2 week stay. Our room was in the main building with the pool. We ended up getting a room on the ground floor, literally next to the swimming pool. There with pro's and con's to this. Although it was very convenient to the pool bar and pool area and meant that we could sit on our patio (as no balcony) in the shade and have our own drinks and not have to buy as many at the pool bar (which did save money), there was no privacy and no sea/mountain views (just the pool, and other people's twoel First of all, as other reviewers have mentioned the staff at the hotel are fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. That goes from the cleaners through to the owners. Alex and Anna deserve a special mention. Our air conditioning broke on the second morning and this was quickly fixed by the hotel, getting an electrician to sort it out. During our stay, a couple of guys came off their quad bike on the road just outside the hotel. Alex was out like a shot and helped them out. Fortunately, they weren't badly hurt. There is a BBQ every Sunday evening at 8pm (15 euros Per Person) which was nice. From looking at some of the photos in the hotel lobby, it looks like there used to be some Greek dancing with the guests afterwards but there was no entertainment on our night, which was a shame. Negatives -------------- A big bug bear of mine is the reserving of sunbeds with towels at 6am in the morning and then not using them until after 12pm. This has gone to another level this summer. Some people were reserving beds for the whole of their holiday!! One family of nine permanently pegged towels on sunbeds for all of their holiday. They never moved day or night which was around a quarter of the available sunbeds. Incredibly selfish and such negative behaviour didn't help with the ambiance / friendliness around the pool. There were only 4 parasols for around 40 sunbeds. The hotel could do with getting a few more. There didn't appear to be any communal shower facilities in the hotel. The ones in the downstairs toilets were out of action. So for those on late flights, I'm not sure where they could get washed. Stalis ------- It's a 15-20 minute walk into Stalis, which has lots of restaurants to choose from. It was a lot quieter than I remember when I last visited. If you have young children, I'd recommend buying a crepe from "Super Mario" who puts on a show which is worth the cost of the crepe itself!
