Petousis Hotel & Suites

On Crete’s Ammoudara beachfront, minutes from a long sandy shore and lively seafront cafés. The hotel sits about 0.6 mi (1 km) from Ammoudara Beach, roughly a 10-minute drive to Heraklion Port and the Archaeological Museum, and about 11.4 km (7.1 mi) from the Palace of Knossos; Nikos Kazantzakis Airport (HER) is ~15 km (9.3 mi) away. Family-friendly and beach-focused, it’s a smart base for city sights and sea days.

Fully renovated in 2024, the architecturally distinctive complex blends wood and stone accents with traditional décor for a warm, modern-Cretan vibe. Ninety-nine air-conditioned rooms offer minibars, flat-screen TVs and private furnished balconies or patios; bathrooms feature rainfall showers and hair dryers. The atmosphere is relaxed and home-like—good for couples, families and solo travelers.

Two outdoor swimming pools (plus an integrated children’s pool), a health club and a massage/spa area invite downtime and recovery. Bars include a poolside bar and a beach bar, and there’s a cafe and lounge for light bites. Expect easy beach access, pool sunbeds and a play area for kids—wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and unwind by sunset.

A business center and conference spaces (up to ~861 sq ft / 80 m² and a 65-seat room) support meetings and events. Complimentary Wi‑Fi/high-speed internet, express check-out, dry cleaning and free on-site self parking keep work simple; airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Two on-site restaurants (including PETOUSIS), a poolside bar and a beach bar serve buffet breakfast daily (typically 07:30–10:00) and dinner service for half-board guests. Menus lean island-inspired with Cretan flavors and fresh local ingredients—perfect for tasting the region without leaving the hotel.
