Lovely little hotel
We’ve just arrived home after 11 nights at this lovely little hotel as a family with two adult daughters. We had a double and a junior suite, and after emailing the hotel in advance, they accommodated our request for the rooms to be close together.
The rooms are modern, clean and have excellent adjustable air con. The junior suite had a huge balcony and is a great size. There is water in the fridge on arrival as well as a fruit bowl and small bottle of wine.
The air con wasn’t too noisy and it did help drown out some of the traffic noise from the nearby main road.
Two pools are both great, one is near the pool bar and has more natural shade and grassed areas. Our favourite was the more modern pool and we always found beds.
We had a few lunches sat in the shade next to the main bar and the portions are huge. The food is tasty and the drinks, while a bit pricey are well prepared.
Anna welcomed us when we arrived and she is always there with a smile and is a great asset to the hotel. As are the dynamic Babis and Babis duo who make great cocktails and have a great nature.
We stayed on a B&B basis and the breakfast selection was perfect. Something to please everybody and a great selection for all nationalities.
We ate one night in the adjacent hotel taverna, food was fine, service was great but it was just too noisy and canteen like for us. We tried a good few local restaurants and also went into Heraklion a few times for a change of scene.
The beach is a 2 min walk away and there’s plenty of options for beach bars/clubs.
We hired a car for a week and went exploring the island which I’d highly recommend.
Supermarket across the road from the taverna does baguettes, sandwiches and huge fresh doughnuts. A couple of places to get crepes and sweet treats from.
The resort would suit people who want the proximity to a big city but also beach options on the door step.
If I could put this hotel and its staff in a quieter location I would but that would be the only thing stopping us returning but given the high level of repeat guests it really appeals.
Thank you for a lovely welcome and a wonderful holiday

If you like the look and sound of this place, don’t hesitate and book!
Booked this hotel as we wanted a smaller, quieter hotel from the previous years holiday. It was exactly as described.
Hotel, room, staff and food amazing in a really relaxing environment…the herb gardens dotted around the pool and bar areas fantastic!
Back to the staff Maria in the wellness suite was amazing, Vangellis life guard and general top bloke really connected with us and the kids, couldn’t do enough for us - Kiki and Voula and both Babis’ and DeSara - made us feel at home…we will miss them! We will return! Thanks
Bonus the restaurant attached to the hotel is next level! Delicious food and great service!

Great Hotel
Returned yesterday from this lovely family run hotel as family of four with a 19 and 23 year old. We had a interconnecting room in the block across the quiet road which suited us, but not sure I would of liked this if not with my family. The rooms were modern, beds and pillows comfortable. Shower always hot. We had half board and the buffet restaurant was lovely and peaceful at both breakfast and evening meal. All the staff we came across were friendly, a special mention to Babis and Katerina who served us during the day at the pool and also in the restaurant at night. Also the two ladies at the pool bar (Kiki and Voila). Thank you to the lady on reception who sorted out our late check out which cost €60 upto 6pm. There was Greek music twice a week which was great. Even the manager has a song or two at the end. Talking of the manager he was very visible and interacted with guests. Sunbeds were no problem getting every day. There were always some free during the day at either pool. The life guard was always visible and helpful, he would even entertain the younger children in the pool by playing ball with them. Would recommend this hotel for a quiet and relaxing break.

Fantastic Family Stay in Amoudara.
We’ve just returned from an 11-night stay at Petousis Hotel and Suites as a family of three (including our 13-year-old), and we had a great holiday.
We stayed in one of the suites, which was spacious, with comfortable beds, two great bathrooms, modern air con, and a private pool that we used every day. The welcome wine and fruit were a nice touch.
Housekeeping visited almost every day, and our housekeeper was excellent. We also made good use of the small air-conditioned gym (it has free weights, exercise bikes, and multi-gym machines) and had massages with Maria which we highly recommend.
The hotel facilities and service were excellent throughout. Breakfast has a wide variety and even though we visited at the height of the season, there was always somewhere to sit and plenty of food available. There are two main pools with enough sunbeds for everyone, plus a separate area for young children. There is a spacious bar where we watched a few World Cup matches and that had live music twice weekly. Most days we ordered drinks and good food poolside from the staff, who work extremely hard, smile, and are always around to help. The hotel manager too, was visible and often stopped for a friendly chat, which sets the tone for the whole team.
The location couldn't be better - a flat, two-minute walk down to the beach, and there are tourist shops, tavernas, and cafes along the strip outside the hotel where there is a supermarket and the busy Petousis restaurant. It’s also easy to take the bus into Heraklion from the stop opposite the hotel (buy tickets for €1.80 at the supermarket).
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Petousis Hotel and Suites.

Such gorgeous staff - they cannot do enough for you 🩷
Had the best time here, the staff are thoughtful and cannot do enough for you, in particular Maria who provided the most relaxing foot and leg massage I have ever had and made me look years younger with a lymphatic drain massage, she’s super professional and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. The life guard was so friendly with the children and accommodating even playing a game of volley ball and providing floaties. We will certainly be returning ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
