What guests say
Reviews from Google“This is our second trip and Michael with his incredible team always go above and beyond with ensuring our stay was perfect. He remembered our faces from last time, his staff are super polite. The food is just incredible. It's not tacky buffet food but well thought out theme of the day food with always accessible local Cretan/Greek food available. The Bikini Bar food is also outstanding. The food isn't there for the sake of it, no it's well thought out with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. My god it's exactly the place you want to go to if you enjoy music and want to unwind and enjoy quality. Plenty of sunbeds around without the need to fight over them (we went second week of June) The bar staff were incredible as well, always nice chats, drinks served to your sunbed. Portions were amazing! The sea is clear blue waters, swimmable knee high for about 10 meters out before it comes chest level which is perfect to relax in. They had morning yoga sessions which was free. Everyone is so nice and the people who come here have a nice vibe too. We'll be back again!”
“Absolutely stunning!!!!! We have travelled to more than 40 countries, and we work in hospitality, so we know what it takes to maintain such level of service; and that it’s very rare. We stayed 1 week end of May. Not only service is excellent, food and drinks; but the staff is amazing. Panos at the bar he is the best bartender EVER! Christos took the time to discuss about Freddo cappuccino; Manos is good with wine and gave us great recommendations at evening dinners. À gentleman helped us with the shisha every day as well, sincere recommendations that happened to be spot on! All rest of the staff from the reception (very smooth arrival, super sweet) to the manager; they are happy to work, happy at work! Keep going!!! We have never returned twice to the same place but at Ammos, we may come back 🤩”
“We stayed at the hotel in June 2026, and our stay was wonderful. The staff was very pleasant and always ready to help. The grounds and rooms are clean and modern. The food was delicious and varied. Overall, we are very satisfied with our choice of hotel and would definitely come back!”
“Staff on front desk were pleasant however, outside staff, specifically for the catering, showed great prejudice and argumentative tones for me and my 3 friends. Multiple times we noticeably was ignored for table service, servers were actively unhappy and rude to us, and the lead buffet worker was extremely explosive, argumentative and outright disgraceful for no apparent reason. Im unsure if it was because we are women, English or young adults, but this one worker (bald and lead buffet worker) was incredibly aggressive. We have been extremely upset and appalled by this mans behaviour as he actively tried to belittle, intimidate and argue with us for asking if we could enter the buffet after checking out, willing to pay, and being polite. This behaviour demonstrated from him was uncalled for and honestly we are all disgusted someone so blatantly rude and explosive works here. Other than that all was good.”
“The hotel is nice and quiet. The cons are the rooms are small, swimming pool is limited for few people and there are a limited number of seats. Food is okay at best nothing special. There is no gym. Don't be misguided by the photos you see on booking.”
