Wonderful stay, great location, with welcoming and helpful hosts. I booked one night for my family, and stayed a couple of nights as a solo traveler, and it was ideal. Great private beach, comfortable and clean rooms, delicious breakfast and tiropitas, bar access for the pool or the beach. Great place to hang out, also close to the airport, Knossos, and the old city. Would highly recommend.

The staff, location and beach were all so nice we decided to extend our stay an extra day. The Manager once again was able to make arrangements for us to stay in our same room. Will definitely stay here again if we make it back to this Beautiful location.

Our stay at the hotel was excellent. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and very clean. Breakfast is buffet-style with a wide variety and constant replenishment. There are never delays or waiting due to lack of products. A big plus of the hotel is its direct access to the beach, with sunbeds and umbrellas included. If you get tired of the sand, there is also a beautiful deck with a pool, sunbeds, and tables. Whether on the beach or by the pool, there is permanent bar service. But the real golden touch comes from George and his parents. They welcome all guests with warmth and kindness, always attentive to every detail. In case of any unforeseen event, they show great willingness and professional experience in solving problems. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return. Thank you for such wonderful hospitality!

If you are looking for a good budget option not too far from Heraklion this could suit you well. The place has direct access to a sandy beach and a pool area. A simple breakfast was included in our package. The rooms are a decent size and they were clean. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep. Giorgos was very kind and helpful. He pointed us to some very good dining options in the area and his advice was thorough and accurate. Ammoudara reminds me of a budget Florida beach town: a little crowded, a little disappointing. When booking, I wasn’t aware there would be smokestacks from a coal-fired power plant 3km to the west. To be clear, I never smelled anything, nor did I see them smoking but they were there, and I wish I had known that before I booked. The price is good and place is reasonably close to Heraklion and Knossos, and there are easy transit options into the old town if you prefer to not drive.

Scarlet

An interesting stay, staff seem to be quite intrusive and watch over us as we went about our day. Some confusion was caused as we were frequently asked to pay later for any food/drink items we bought at the hotel, despite asking to pay in the moment to make it easier for our group to determine who payed for what. We found the quiet hours timing to be quite awkward and unreasonable as it restricted our time to talk and enjoy time together in our own room. Other guests seem to enforce this in an aggressive way - even when talking very quietly amongst ourselves at 11pm we would receive knocks and bangs on the door to usher us to be completely silent. Following this, the breakfast hours finished very early so this was difficult for us to make it in time, and it was disappointing that the pool closed so early! I think overall the staff did have good intentions however it did come across as quite micro managey. If you have a young family this place would be great however for a younger group such as ourselves it is not suitable.
