The resort was clean and the locals very friendly, no holiday makers with football tops on and no rowdies. There were plenty bars and restaurants in Stalis mainly playing local music. The beach was nice and clean with some of the Restaurants sunbeds free of charge if you ate or drank in their premises. I would visit this resort again.

The beautiful Stalis Beach is just maybe 300 metres from the hotel so after such a good food to take a walk a bit was really necessary :) All the more as there are very nice nature. There are many cosy tavernas, coffee-bars and restaurants along the beach, cleanliness and helpfull beach boys everywhere.
I don't know about resort entertainment because all the evenings we spent in Anastasia Hotel with the great shows there so we didn't feel the need to go out somewhere.

There are a few beaches that make up the resort, all are clean sand. The beaches are not very rocky or full of seaweed. As previous posts mention, the beaches are quite full of sunbeds which belong to hotels and bars, so there isn't much space to just put down a towel.
We went in October, therefore the bars were not very busy, which just lacked a bit of an atmosphere. A few were closed down and in need of some repair.
The best thing about going late on was that all the bars had reduced the drinks prices, so made nights out quite reasonable.
There were a number of quad bikes zipping up and down the beach road, which was slightly annoying as no pavements, so be careful. Dread to think what it might be like in high season. There are a number of hire shops for quads, mopeds, cars and cycles.
There are a few agencies selling day trips to various places. We took a trip to Spinalonga, which included time at Agios Nikolaos.
Be warned that the waterparks close earlier than everything else. Hotels were due to close at end of October for the season, but the waterparks closed by 12 October. We were a bit disappointed, but there simply hadn't been enough people going, to make it worth keeping them open longer.

Stalis is kept reasonably clean, especially when you compare it to its near neighbour, Malia. Where your feet stick to the pavement if you stand still too long.
There are bars with live entertainment, a plethora of TV screens, form which you can watch Football, football, football, the X factor or........football.
The beaches are clean and varied.
There are plenty of Tavernas and restuarants which have a good range of cuisine. At least 3 chinese, 1 indian, and plenty of Greek cuisine.
You can if you want have eggs susage and chips.

I was not a big fan of Stalis and found it a little dirty and run down in look, however there were plenty of nice restaurants servings a wide range of international food. The beach was rammed with sun loungers with very little space between them.
We hired cars for the middle three days of the week and found the east of the island (Elounda) to be more picturesque and less touristy. We also drove to the Aqua Park (20 euros each) where there were plenty of slides and rides which were all good fun.
We hired the cars from a company called Caravel on the main street in Stalis. Although they look professional compared with other companies I found their working practices very shady. They told me the insurance they provided gave me a 100% cover and then when I had paid a deposit told me theft cover was not included? They then stated that someone could easily take a wing mirror off the car during the night at the hotel and that I would then have to pay a premium (almost hinting that it would happen if I did not take the cover out).
They then supplied a very tired and worn out Nissan Micra which sounded like a World War II Spitfire! I would avoid this company at all costs.
