Atrion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, great breakfast. I would only say that the bathroom was quite small. We also had a great balcony Quiet area, easy walk to restaurants."

Aquila Atlantis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel and the kind and attentive staff made our stay so wonderful. The approach to service was second to none ( We have travelled a lot), and food was truly outstanding ...the widest choice of high quality and fresh breakfast options and the most amazing dinners...we were so impressed with the standard. The very central location was so useful with easy access on foot to the port, and town centre. Our day trips also just picked us up at the door. The location was also quiet and evenings on the terrace pre dinner were so restful. "

GDM Megaron Historical Monument Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff super friendly, welcoming, helpful, and polite. Breakfast was very good. If I had one suggestion, it would be to reduce the amount of desserts and sweets offered and replace with more hot food options such as waffles/pancakes, omelets to order etc. however, this was low season so I guess there is a concern about wastage "

Enorme Infinity Beach ex Infinity Blue

6/10 Okay

"Let’s start with the many positives of this experience: - location is excellent, a few steps from the beach and with bars and shops on your doorstep - rooms are very big and have a balcony, good air-conditioning and a safe - beds are long - shower pressure is excellent, the olive oil toiletries too - everything feels very clean and tidy - the pool area has many sun-beds - staff is polite and friendly and there is an app to request the time your room is made up - breakfast and dinner buffet offer good variety, were different every night and included meat fish vegetables and local specialities. Items are constantly replenished and overall I think meals are excellent value - overall, it’s a very good experience. The following would require improvement, small adjustments would allow to step up from good to excellent: - when you book a double, as a couple, you expect a double bed or at least not to have single sheets and single mattress toppers, that leave a gap between you and your partner during the night. We basically slept in separate twin beds for a week. The bed itself is ok but I didn’t enjoy the twin bed set-up or find it relaxing when on holiday with my partner! - bathroom towels are small and rather thin - the hotel’s beach has no sun-beds (but the nearby beach does at 7 euros a day) - no private parking…we had no issues street parking in October but I wonder how busy this may get in peak season - the coffee from the machine at breakfast could be better. "

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Stalida cost?

Prices for beach hotels in Stalida vary, but you can find a great deal from £28 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Which area of Stalida is best to stay in for beaches?

The best areas to stay in Stalida for beaches are along the main beach road, particularly the central stretch of Stalida Beach and the quieter eastern end of the resort.

The central part of Stalida Beach is ideal for those who want direct access to the sea and a wide range of amenities. The main beach road, running parallel to the coastline, is lined with beachfront hotels, tavernas, and beach bars. Here, you'll find plenty of sun loungers and parasols available for hire, and the sea is generally calm and shallow, making it suitable for a relaxing swim.

For couples looking for a more tranquil beach experience, the eastern end of Stalida offers a nicer option. This area is slightly away from the main hustle and bustle, providing a more peaceful setting. The beaches here are still sandy and well-maintained, but with fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate seaside escape.

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Stalida?

The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Stalida is during July and August, when the weather is ideal for enjoying the stunning coastline. Temperatures typically range from 25°C to 30°C, creating superb conditions for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. During these months, the beach resorts are bustling with activity, offering a lively option and a full range of amenities and entertainment. This period is particularly attractive for families seeking a vibrant beach holiday, as all beachside facilities are fully operational, and the sea is at its warmest.

For a great alternative, June also offers fantastic beach weather with distinct advantages. You'll find similarly warm temperatures, usually around 24°C to 28°C, which are still excellent for all beach activities. During June, it can be easier to secure reservations at top-tier beach hotels and villas, and you may find better value on flights and accommodation.

How can I save on a beach hotel in Stalida with Expedia?

One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Stalida beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.

What beach activities should we do in Stalida?

The best beach activities to do in Stalida are swimming in the clear, calm waters, relaxing on the sandy beach, and enjoying the selection of watersports available.

Stalida Beach stretches for several kilometres along the coast, offering a mix of organised sections with sun loungers and parasols, and quieter spots for those seeking more peace. The water here is generally shallow and very calm, making it ideal for a relaxing swim. You'll find plenty of beachside tavernas and cafes just a few steps from the sand, great for a refreshing drink or a meal.

For couples looking for a mix of relaxation and activity, the central part of Stalida Beach is a great choice. You can easily spend your mornings sunbathing and swimming, then try out activities like paddleboarding or jet skiing in the afternoon. The beach is well-maintained, and the gentle slope into the sea makes it easy to enter and exit the water.

Families will appreciate the eastern end of Stalida Beach, which tends to be a bit wider and often has dedicated areas for watersports. The calm, shallow sea is particularly welcoming for children, allowing them to play and swim safely under supervision.

Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Stalida as a package?

Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.

Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Stalida for you.
