This was our first trip to Crete and it turned out to be better than we have expected. After careful consideration we've choose the Filia Hotel in Stalis and now we know that we couldn't do any better! We have only stayed for 5 days but enjoyed every second of it. Hotel is run by three Greek brothers Michael, Vasili... more

Dont panic when you get off the coach (you think you have been left in the middle of nowhere but you are literally less than five minutes away from the main strip. Hotel rooms were basic and the maid service wasn't very reliable but if you needed anything Billy the bar man was always on hand. Billy made our holiday... more

I went to stay in Stalis with a friend of mine and we stayed at the Filia. It was perfect for what we wanted (not to be in Malia but not too far either) although a bit too quiet but we saw that the week we were leaving a huge amount of people were due to arrive. Typical! Location: 5... more

Could not fault this hotel one bit. Rooms were basic but clean and tidy, fantastic pool area serving drinks and lovely food throughout the day and night. The staff especially Billy were brilliant, they made us feel welcome and always service with a smile. Great location just minutes from the shops and beach. more

The pool is adequate... more

Stayed for 2 weeks with Billy & Co at the Filia. Booked through Kosmar and took along the parents, both in their 70's too !! Can empathise somewhat with previous reviews but I have to say all 5 of us enjoyed our stay. Billy certainly is the life and soul of the complex. Looking like a short Eric Cantona, theres... more

Just returned from staying at Filia appts for 2 weeks. If you want a nice restfull holiday hard luck Billy plays crap music / rave very loud from 3pm - 3am so you have no chance of a siesta or a nights sleep. All the appts are very close to the bar so there is no escape. He thinks he... more
