We stayed here for a few nights and had a wonderful time! The hotel is very nice and the beach was amazing. The owner, George, is very warm and inviting. The whole team at Emi Seaside is kind and take great care to ensure the hotel is pristine- and George himself makes the best strawberry daiquiris we have had!

Staff provided excellent experience and were very helpful during our entire stay. Free onsite parking was actually in an adjacent parking lot that the hotel owns. I recommend going directly to the hotel check-in desk first. After check-in you can turn around at the end of their driveway to exit and move to designated spot next to hotel. Staff provided 5-star service.

Wonderful stay, great location, with welcoming and helpful hosts. I booked one night for my family, and stayed a couple of nights as a solo traveler, and it was ideal. Great private beach, comfortable and clean rooms, delicious breakfast and tiropitas, bar access for the pool or the beach. Great place to hang out, also close to the airport, Knossos, and the old city. Would highly recommend.

If you are looking for a good budget option not too far from Heraklion this could suit you well. The place has direct access to a sandy beach and a pool area. A simple breakfast was included in our package. The rooms are a decent size and they were clean. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to have blackout curtains for a good night’s sleep. Giorgos was very kind and helpful. He pointed us to some very good dining options in the area and his advice was thorough and accurate.

Ammoudara reminds me of a budget Florida beach town: a little crowded, a little disappointing. When booking, I wasn’t aware there would be smokestacks from a coal-fired power plant 3km to the west. To be clear, I never smelled anything, nor did I see them smoking but they were there, and I wish I had known that before I booked.

The price is good and place is reasonably close to Heraklion and Knossos, and there are easy transit options into the old town if you prefer to not drive.

Our stay at Emi Seaside Resort was absolutely wonderful – everything was great, but the true highlight were the owners, who are simply the best! We really regret that we found this hotel only for our last night, as we would have loved to stay longer. This place definitely deserves more stars!

An interesting stay, staff seem to be quite intrusive and watch over us as we went about our day. Some confusion was caused as we were frequently asked to pay later for any food/drink items we bought at the hotel, despite asking to pay in the moment to make it easier for our group to determine who payed for what. We found the quiet hours timing to be quite awkward and unreasonable as it restricted our time to talk and enjoy time together in our own room. Other guests seem to enforce this in an aggressive way - even when talking very quietly amongst ourselves at 11pm we would receive knocks and bangs on the door to usher us to be completely silent. Following this, the breakfast hours finished very early so this was difficult for us to make it in time, and it was disappointing that the pool closed so early!

I think overall the staff did have good intentions however it did come across as quite micro managey.

If you have a young family this place would be great however for a younger group such as ourselves it is not suitable.

The Manager was top notch, we booked last min and was greeted with a drink and asked to wait one moment while the finished getting the room available. Within 5 min we were taken to our room. The staff, location and beach were all so nice we decided to extend our stay an extra day. The Manager once again was able to make arrangements for us to stay in our same room. Will definitely stay here again if we make it back to this Beautiful location.
