Sun Boutique Hotel - Adults Only

Stayed at this hotel from 15th to 29th September 2025 with my sister. From beginning to end it was a fabulous time at this hotel. We was made Very welcome on arrival. The room was quite small but we managed ok, we had a room at the front of the hotel over looking the sea & mountains. The breakfast was good plenty of choice but would have been nice to offer a choice of cooked eggs. They also served food daily if you needed it. The hotel was spotless always cleaning and plenty of bed change throughout our stay. Poppy & Marina 2 Sisters also poppy on reception was all adorable. All the staff was so friendly and nothing was too much trouble at anytime for them always happy to help that's what you get with a small family run hotel. The one thing missing was they had no entertainment the whole 2 weeks so had to go to other hotels for this. The pool was so lovely always plenty of beds, great for swimming or just cooling off. If I was in this area again I would stay at this hotel. Thank you sun hotel family and staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

Pool & easy beach access

Myself and my daughter have just spent a fantastic week at the Sun Boutique Hotel.
Everything was spot on from the lovely warm welcome to the little keepsake we were given when we left, if only all modestly hotels we like this!
Our twin room was large and airy with plenty of storage and sockets to charge phones etc. A hairdryer was provided.
The en suite shower room was plenty big enough and I must say the whole hotel was incredibly clean.
The pool area was a great suntrap and there were always plenty of sunbeds available if you didn't fancy a few minutes walk to the beach.(Where if you head to Frank's Beach Bar you don't need to pay for sunbeds/umbrella's as long as you have a few drinks and or food during the day!)
The breakfast had a lovely choice and the fresh bread was delicious.
All the staff were welcoming and always happy to help with any queries, as we had a 2am return flight we were even able to extend our checkout to midnight from 11am giving us a full day at the beach, I'm sure this isn't always available especially in high season but it really was appreciated and for only a small fee.
I can't recommend this hotel enough, everything was fantastic - if you are looking for a 5 star luxury full service hotel this isn't for you, if you want a clean welcoming family run hotel at a great price in a great location you can't go wrong here. Thank you at you all who made our holiday so special.

Hotel itself is great along with the food and we were half board. The beach is a 10 minute walk away and it’s beautiful, we sat all week at Blanco’s they charge €12 for two beds and a parasol.
Found the hotel pool the most quietest and soulless pool I have ever sat around, but nice for a quick dip after the beach.
The owners are very helpful but wish the two young girls who work at the bar and restaurant would smile and converse with you as they seemed quite miserable.
Found a lovely cocktail bar called the wild rose not far from the beach, the owner is a lovely man and the best cocktails.
There are only a handful of bars but please AVOID Alex bar and cafe as the rip you off.
This was a bargain last minute holiday and worth every penny but would not return.
The airport is really close so great for a quick transfer

Have just spent a lovely week staying at this little hotel with my bestie . We were looking for a last minute deal & The Sun Hotel came up at a very good price , the reviews were excellent ,so we booked . This 2 star hotel is excellent , it is family run , predominantly by two lovely sisters , the rooms are fresh , cool & clean , we were lucky to have a sea view at front of hotel .. The food was lovely , some of the fruit & veggies coming from the family farm , super fresh. Close to the fabulous beach , bars & tavernas & a bus stop close by to visit Heraklion , which is a lovely bustling port . A great holiday , thank you 🙏 😊

Very cocky personell but all-around Greece they are sturdy and cocky. Here they are rude and throws eyes. You don't feel welcome.

Hotel is livable but i wouldnt pay more than 30 euro per night .

Great hotel, staff are very helpful, polite and smiling. Rooms are perfect, always cleaned very well. We booked breakfast and dinner and food was very good, in restaurant everything was organized well. Location is also good, very close to beach. Please note there are no sunbeds on the beach and it is very hot and no shade, bring sunscreen and some towels or blankets to sit/lay on.

Das Hotel ist sehr nah an der Hauptstraße und ist trotzdem sehr ruhig zum schlafen - man hört nichts davon. Bushaltestelle ist direkt vor der Tür und bringt dich überall hin.
Das Konzept ist gut und das Essen wird mit Liebe zubereitet. Aktueller Nachteil: Die Gäste sind anfangs sehr schnell und so haben die späteren Gäste keinen Salat bzw. keine Auswahl mehr. Das Abendessen könnte etwas abwechslungsreicher und griechischer sein. Es ist aber sehr lecker!
Pool ist ausreichend, da der Strand schnell zu erreichen ist.
Für Paare und Freunde ist das Hotel perfekt!

Just come back from a fabulous week at the Sun Boutique Hotel, Crete.

We stayed on a B&B basis, the breakfast was great, loads of choice of food to eat.

We also eat in in the evenings and paid for the buffet 3 course meal which was fantastic, compliments to the chefs, great value for money. Drinks were also reasonably priced.

The hotel itself was very clean, bedrooms lovely and aircon, pool area great and always a free deck chair to seat on.

The staff and owners, Poppy and Marina (the 2 sisters) and Poppy at reception were so welcoming to us, we cannot thank them enough. A big shout out to the waitresses and the night porter - they were lovely and very helpful.

This hotel is a 10/10 hotel and we will definitely be coming again. Thank for a lovely week in Crete. See you soon.

Veldig hyggelig personal
Vi fikk Mie for penger😃

Marina and Poppy who own the hotel are very friendly. The food is delicious. We were B&B but also ate dinner in the evening some nights and it was all locally grown and home made food which was all delicious. Pool lovely. Close to beach maybe 6 minute walk.
Would definitely recommend and stay they're again. Close to Heraklion airport. Very clean hotel.

Brilliant location, close to the beach with shops and nice restaurants near. The food and drinks in the hotel are lovely and at a good price. Very friendly family owned hotel with nice rooms and a great pool area. Would 100% come again.

The hotel is a lovely family run hotel. The food is all freshly made often using their own home grown produce. We were b and b
Bed's Very comfy and breakfast had lots of choice and delicious. Would highly recommend as the team (family) are very friendly. Everywhere is spotless. The hotel is @5-8 mins from a beautiful beach..

What a lovely place, they could not have been friendlier. This small hotel was perfect for my first time ever travelling abroad alone. It felt safe, Maria helped me when I tried to speak Greek, she attempted to speak various languages with the different guests. All the staff I met spoke some English.
My simple room was clean and the bed was made daily, bins emptied daily too, towels and bedding were changed during my 7 night stay, not sure how many times and I put up the do not disturb sign twice so was left on those days.
I had a single bed, took a bit of getting used to, it was firm, I had 2 pillows a sheet and a throw, the sheet was enough.
There were complimentary soap, shampoo and shower gel, sewing kit, shoeshine and tea/coffee facilities in my room, a dressing table, stool, wardrobe and suitcase stand. The wet room was fine with a wash basin and towel rails, if you are obese then it would be small and awkward using the toilet as it’s close to the wall and the shower cubicle is not large. There was no where to put soap and shampoo on the shower cubicle which was awkward. The shower doesn’t have a door so the rest of the floor can get wet but does have a drain hole.
There was a fridge in the bed room too.
The aircon was lovely to have. Tv wasn’t used as I don’t understand Greek. Sliding French doors onto a tiny balcony, with 2 plastic chairs and a table, I couldn’t use as I have vertigo and it was very narrow the side I was on. My view over the tops of the surrounding buildings was the beautiful mountains and the sea, with amazing sunsets and sparkly lights at night in the distance. I sat by the doors just inside the room and enjoy the breeze and views.
The pool was perfect, I swam and spent a few hours on the loungers everyday.
The lift is tiny, room enough for 2 people and 2 suitcases if you aren’t obese, but claustrophobic for most people I would think.
There are some lips between doors and a couple of steps directly from the reception to the restaurant but sloped access if you need it, outside and round to the front.
Smoking is allowed in and around the hotel.
The beach is a 20 minute flat walk away, the beds can be hired from various cafes but there’s plenty of space to just lay on the sand. The beach was reasonably clean, I did see cigarette butts and some dog poo. The sea was beautiful, a bit of a slope into it, people seemed to walk out quite far and it stayed at chest height, the slope was a bit of a challenge when coming out but manageable by most.
The location is great, bus stops, shops, restaurants, cafes all within half an hour walk, all on the flat. The trees are low on the pavements so a bit awkward if you are over 5’ tall, the pavements are not wide and the kerbs very high. Kerbs and dropped kerbs are painted bright yellow and easily visible.
The road outside is very busy and the noise of traffic is heard all the time, it’s not the easiest to cross but it is possible to cross, you just have to wait sometimes.
The hotel breakfast had a wide variety it was the same every day. I only ate 2 dinners there and a lunch and was disappointed- the swordfish tasted muddy, the beautiful looking shrimps (huge ones) had not been deveined and both these meals came with a jacket potato which was fine and raw carrot slices with green pepper and a balsamic dressing. The mushroom soup tasted ok but didn’t come with any bread or anything. The traditional Greek donut dessert had very well cooked centres on some and runny raw centres on others. The chef was not friendly and never smiled or spoke, even when I tried to acknowledge him.
They make fresh orange juice here €4 from their oranges.
It had a real family vibe, I felt like they valued and appreciated all of us guests. It was a child free hotel.
I would be happy to stay here again.

Gute Lage und nette Mitarbeiter. Das Essen ist lecker. Es könnte jedoch passieren, dass man eine Kakerlake auf seinem Zimmer hat wenn man das Fenster offen lässt und die Klimaanlagen riechen teilweise ungereinigt.

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.

I totally recommend the Sun Boutique Hotel because is 5-10 min walking distance from - Ammoudara beach,
- Bravo Water Park
- and little supermarkets, pubs, car rental agencies, ATMs.
Marina, her sister and the staff are nice, lovely and helpful. Their breakfast buffet is sumptuous and delicious. There is also the restaurants where the chef cooks wonderful greek dishes. The rooms are clean and beautiful, with air con, tv, fridge and hairdryer. They have a nice pool with very cool beds, long chairs and a pingo pong table.

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.

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

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel under any circumstances. We upgraded to the so called “superior room” when we booked with TUI
Upon arrival the hotel looked pretty crappy, down a dirt track
The lift was about 100 years old and barely fitted my wife and I plus 2 suitcases
Room was tiny, and I mean tiny
Bathroom even smaller
Beach is NOT 5 minutes walk away, more like 20 minutes
Pool area small and unwelcoming
We lasted 3 hours before ordering a taxi and leaving for Stalis which is around 20 minutes away
Managed to get a room at La Luna apartments, a million times better
Cost an extra £415 but couldn’t stay at this hotel one minute longer
