Sun Boutique Hotel (Adults Only)

What a lovely family run hotel, I was a solo traveller with minor disability needs, and this hotel was perfect for me, and of course many other guests who were perfectly able. TUI arranged with them I have a room on the ground floor which was really great. I had A lovely large comfortable bed, a lovely modern walk in bathroom with shower. The The hotel is adults only, very peaceful and quiet, the hotel restaurant at the front of the building is where B&B guests like myself ate delicious breakfast, and I ate al la carte there most evenings, their food being absolutely delicious. Home cooked fresh food served in an impeccably clean restaurant. The hotel pool is large enough and with plenty of comfortable sun beds annd umbrellas and double cabana style sun beds. Also another very clean area around the pool. For those wanting the beach it’s not far to get to across the road and along a bit, you either turn left or right out of the hotel. I will definitely be returning to this hotel and would love to thank Marina Poppy and Eva and your sister for making my stay at your hotel such a pleasurable one.

Warm welcoming, kind-hearted, caring host, clean, comfortable room at a beautiful location. Thank you! 💜

This hotel is clean and staff really friendly. The room was adequate and serviced regularly. Food, I has breakfast, was plentiful lots of choice and refreshed regularly. Location for travel was excellent with a bus stop outside. Pool was clean. Sunbeds could do with a refresh. A very pleasant stay and would recommend.

Stayed here with a girl friend for 10 days. Mixed review as some things were good and some not quite so great . This was our second visit to Ammoudara as a resort . We had stayed up the other end of the road at a different hotel last year but this was a last minute break and we just wanted a relax and chill with no frills cheaper holiday this time round . We arrived in the early hours . The room was very small, no kettle , teeny bathroom, not good tbh. The next morning we managed to upgrade our room for around 100 Euros to a larger one, they put 2 dressing gowns, slippers and a kettle in with coffee and tea which meant it was now a superior room. Still a basic room though . This was fine for us . The air con was excellent , so were the beds, very comfortable and appeared new . Downside to the room was although it was facing the sea in the distance the hotel is on a very noisy road which constantly had traffic from the early hours to very late at night . Most annoying were the occasional loud motorbikes racing along late at night . Luckily we both had brought earplugs . I’d def recommend rooms at the back or sides of hotel. The small shower cubicle has 3 sides , no curtain so constantly flooded the floor, there was a shower mat replaced every other day but after the first few days they kept forgetting to leave one in the room , along with the towels , also a bit hit and miss as to if we got one each . Sometimes we only got one left and I had to go and ask . They weren’t great, mostly very worn and tatty, I didn’t get a belt with my dressing gown either , my friend did , but hey we were in Greece so went with it , wasn’t a game changer . I’ve seen a few reviews saying the breakfast was good . Maybe we were spoilt at the other hotel last year but this was very basic . Bread was fresh , coffee was great . There was Jam, chocolate spread etc . A few slices of dried up ham and cheese put out with olives . Some fruit and that’s about it . Enough just to tie you over . But don’t come expecting a hearty breakfast . Most of the small hotel has been upgraded , I understand by a few locals that this hotel is one of the oldest in the resort . It shows in places. The pool at the back we used once after being at the beach , It was very tired looking , not modern, beds a bit tatty but fine for a dip . The staff who ran the hotel were lovely , the ladies were very friendly and the little man just went around the hotel working hard , they were all very sweet . We had a small problem with our loo not flushing and it was fixed the same day . Overall the hotel is ok, very clean everywhere, but run on a shoestring I would say , maybe upgrade the breakfast to some authentic Greek yoghurt , fruit yogurts , better quality fruit , larger pastries, fresh croissants , (not the small hard inedible ones that were there) I’m not sure what boutique hotel means to the Greeks , but small and friendly would be a better description . The hotel is situated up the quiet more ru

This is an excellent hotel, situated near the beach and also a good bus service to the centre of Heraklion. The rooms are scrupulously clean, there is good wi-fi and a small pool. I opted for half board which proved very satisfactory, with a choice of main courses for dinner. The staff are very helpful and friendly. I am particularly grateful to Marina for patiently listening to my attempts to speak Greek. One aim of my visit was to visit archaeological sites and the staff helped me to book a taxi to Tylissos (no direct bus service) and advised me about transport in general. For example, a new, direct bus route to Knossos began during my stay. i was told about it and was thus able to travel there and back for 5 Euros and explore the site in my own time without having to bother with an organised trip. There are still places in the vicinity of heraklion that I would like to go to so I hope to return to the hotel one day.
