Just come back from a five night stay and would have liked to stay longer if it would have been possible for us. Went as a family of 4 with two teenage girls. First of all I'd like to thank all the staff members as they try their best to help you throughout your stay, always making sure you are ok and are all very polite. We stayed in a suite which had really comfy beds ( even the sofa beds ) , a fridge, 2 TVs, a safe and a large shower which was nice and powerful, also had a big balcony with table and chairs. We stayed on a half board basis and the breakfast and evening meal were very nice and we always found things that we liked. Plenty of healthy options and full breakfast options. Only negatives about the breakfast was the sausages and the coffee machine but everything else was really good. The drinks from the two bars were good, think I was paying about €6 a pint. The two pools were also good, on arrival you are given little cards which allows you to get clean towels every day and then you get them back when you hand the dirty towels back, we never struggled to get sunbeds which is a big plus for us. The hotel is a short walk ( 2-3 mins ) to the beach where you will find an excellent bar/restaurant called Heaven, the food, drinks and the atmosphere here were fantastic, was paying €5 for a pint of Fix beer which is so nice. Also do the usual Mythos etc. There are also a few little supermarkets across the road which are very good for prices and are open very late. The waterpark transfer picked us up directly across the road from a little bus stop. The area itself felt really safe with a happy vibe. On our last day we were able to put our cases in the luggage room as we weren't flying til around midnight and had access to showers which were next to the little gym so spent the whole day around the pool. If you want a nice chilled relaxing holiday with friendly people around then definitely come here. We look forward to returning in the future. Thanks again to all the staff at petousis.

We have just returned from this hotel. Hotel has a welcoming feel, towels changes daily and rooms kept cool and clean. Staff are without exception so friendly and professional and a special shout out to the lifeguard at the pool who took great care to look after everyone. Ideally situated with the beach a straight, flat 5 minutes walk with plenty of sun beds to hire at a reasonable price . good choice of restaurants within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed the Petousis restaurant, always busy, great vibes and food excellent. We only stayed for a week and didn’t do a huge amount of exploring past the pool and beach as that was what we needed for the week but I know there would be plenty to visit if you fancied trips out. Would definitely stay again 🩷

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

“Mixed feelings”

We liked the hotel overall but had a couple of issues. This was a birthday trip and the hotel charged €25 for room decorations, when we arrived this was one happy birthday banner and a handful of small balloons on the bed, which was very disappointing for the price, however they did agree to lower the fee to €15. There were also some minor issues with our room such as a broken bin and a hornets nest on our balcony. The final issue was unfortunately with a member of staff - my partner has eczema and a staff member pointed this out by saying “What’s wrong with your face?” (completely out of the blue given we were at the bar ordering a drink) which caused unnecessary upset.
