Sunrise Village Hotel - All Inclusive

The hotel is OK, not what I was expecting for a 4 star, but clean, great food and the staff very helpful and nice. The room booked was one with a pool view, but I was allocated one that was right in front of the restaurant... A bit noisy, and lacking in privacy. Also the toilet in need of a refurbishment. But overall a good experience...

We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment which was very spacious and had a big balcony which we could access from both rooms, air con in both rooms was really good, all the beds are really comfy, lots of power points in both rooms. Struggled a little for clothes storage as there was only 1 wardrobe and 4 of us. I read reviews mentioning the size of the bathrooms were quite small but we thought they were a good size. The hotel is short walk from the main road where a lot of the bars, restaurants & shops are. Which ever way you walk to the main road it’s a steep walk back up to the hotel, we found one road was ALOT steeper than the others but we came home fitter. We went to the beach a few times, a lot of the bars and restaurants have their own sun loungers & parasols that you can pay to use for the day, 2 beds & 1 parasol costs around €10 to use for the day. You get a lot of people coming to sell you things like sunglasses, bracelets & food and some people offering massage services at their shops, some of them were quite pushy so just watch out for this if you go to the beach. The hotel is on the small side, quiet & very clean, all the staff we met were very friendly. The food was really good, there was always something that our fussy kids would eat which was a big plus, 4 nights a week they had themed nights in the restaurant, sushi, Italian, Mexican & BBQ. Pool bar also had snacks in between meal times as well as ice cream. The pool was a good size but is on the cooler side but once you’re in and moving it’s fine this was probably down to the time of year. There are plenty of sun loungers and because of where the pool is located we could always make sure the baby was in the shade when not in the pool. The hotel is on a hill, the reception is on the same level as the road then you either go down quite a few stairs or down a hill to get to the pool, restaurant and rooms. We visited Chania harbour by catching the bus from the main road, this was only €2 each which is a lot cheaper than getting a taxi and really easy to do. We visited a water park while in Crete and got there on the fun train which the kids loved. The bus & the train stops are only a 5 minute walk from the hotel.

Such a lovely hotel! Amazing staff, the food was lovely everyday, I couldn’t fault it at all we really enjoyed our stay. It was very very clean, I literally can’t fault a thing the stay was perfect! Thank you for having us and we hope to one day come back!
