Sun Boutique Hotel (Adults Only)

It is always comforting to know that the staff is helpful and that the facilities are made available in a clean and well-maintained manner. The varied and excellent food from the hotel tavern is another important aspect of a successful accommodation experience. Such a quiet and comfortable experience can significantly contribute to the quality of a vacation.

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.

What lovely chilled hotel. Absolutely fell in love with this hotel. Stayed on a bed and breakfast basis. Lovely choice off a typical Greek breakfast. All staff we encountered were ever so friendly and helpful. Pool lovely . All areas were spotless. Beach wonderful. Lovely tavernas in easy walking distance. Our particular favourite the lotus taverna. Planning on returning in may next year for our birthdays.

We had a wonderful two weeks here. The hotel is very clean and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast was continental with plenty of choice available. The bar opened at 1 and prices were very reasonable. We loved it and would be happy to go back again. The only minor criticism would be the lack of storage space in our room.
