Sunrise Hotel & Apartments

Below average Overall not that nice, below average in terms of cleanliness and service. Overpriced for what you get, which is basically nothing, and regreted it even more when I found out much better hotels and apartments in the area at a lower price.

Excellent everyway. We enjoy .!!!

Spent a fantastic 6 nights at Sunrise Apartments in Crete this June. Booked this holiday quite last minute with my partner for a bargain price so wasn't entirely sure what to expect, especially after reading some of these other negative reviews but we have a fab time! We arrived at the hotel very late (2-3am ish??) but were still met by someone in the reception to answer any questions we had and show us to our room. In the morning, we paid the tourist tax (only 3 euros!) and also paid for AC. The staff were very lovely and made us feel very welcome. We paid extra for the breakfast each morning which was lovely with a wide variety of hot food, yogurt, cakes, breads and jams etc and fresh orange juice. Its clearly a family run hotel but that made the experience even more genuine and comfortable having the family eating as well. The pool was nice and big with very few other guests in it most days - we often were the only ones by the pool and in the pool. Our room was also perfectly suitable, maybe slightly dated but very traditional greek looking, clean and had enough space for all our clothes and extras bits. Our balcony had a beautiful view as well, of both the sea and the mountains. The entire hotel was covered in different plants and flowers and overall was very aesthetic looking. The only faults which make us rate this hotel 4 instead of 5 stars was the lack of pool cleaning. Most days, there were lots of dead bugs in the pool which we fished out ourselves as best we could. The pool is surrounded by lots of greenery so it does make sense why there was so many bugs floating about but maybe just needed more attentive netting and cleaning of the pool tiles. Overall, this hotel is fantastic and we would definitely go again. There are some lovely little taverns near by and a pretty beach. There is also a supermarket within walking distance but would HIGHLY recommend also driving because there are so many things to see and do outside of walking distance. Our favourite recommendations for places to visit not too far would be Kalypso beach, Kourtaliotiko gorge and a day out in Plakias. + there were some rams, sheep and goats which would visit the surrounding area of the hotel - very cute!
