The Santo George Beach Resort

Amazing - modern unit, with lights in toilet and bathroom that automatically turn on. Air con automatically goes off if you leave door to deck open. Comfortable bed, quiet area, close to beach, restaurants and shops Shower was amazing and had so many settings. Breakfast was great and breakfast lady - very friendly.

1 min from beach, beautiful grounds full of birdsong, spacious room, large walk in shower, incredible view, sounds of the surf crashing, quiet area, lovely staff, great location, clean air, very comfortable big bed, good quality sheets and towels, bedside and main light switches both sides of the bed. Practical room cleaning indicators to request or refuse service. Sliding door mosquito/bug screen, nice little patio with chairs and table, Stunning view over garden and nearby mountains. Loads of well stocked grocery and gift shops nearby, tons of restaurants and tavernas on the main street and on the beach with sun loungers and umbrella, and a passing masseuse! One night I had dinner, wine and a foot massage on the beach in the sun. Utter bliss! Great location for tour pick ups, access to Heraklion, lots of cheap buses. Close to clean sandy /pebbly beach, watch out for tide/undertow and quite steep drop off! Breakfast lovely and always greeted charmingly with a great selection of freshly baked cakes by Marina, breads, eggs, yoghurt and honey, etc and great coffee. Tonya serviced the room very well, efficient and organised, very much appreciated. I was sad to leave! Ammoudara is a really lovely village, filled with fragrant flowers, olive trees, a small walk to the west takes you to Almyra gorge for a beautiful walk in the foothills with goats and lots of bird species. It's on a lovely long beach that goes for miles, with plenty of eating and drinking options, lots of clothes/beach accessory and local produce shops, and mountain views. There's also a beach shower and changing stall just at the end of the street, with warm water! Great for sloughing off sandy feet, and a wood walkway to the path. If you drive there's several lovely beaches to the west within about 10/20 mins with nice shallow bays, beach restaurants and snorkeling.

Wonderful hotel almost on the beautiful and organized beach. Although we visited the hotel in October, we were impressed by the impeccable organization. Clean sunny rooms, brand new. The price is very low based on what they offer. We will visit the hotel again for summer holidays. Very good buffet breakfast with many products made in their kitchen. Next to the main street with many shops that are open all year round. We were really very pleased!!!

The owners have created a very beautiful space with completely renovated rooms with a view either to the sea or to the garden. There is a free BBQ, and use of a laundry for a fee. Very good breakfast. Right next to a beautiful and organized beach. The main street is very close to the hotel with many restaurants and shops. The city of Heraklion is only half an hour away by bus. Really a very good choice for short or long stay. Thanks for the hospitality, and we will definitely come back!!!!

Despite having many delays, first with our flight, then with our car rental, this accommodation did not disappoint us at all. We called in at 11pm to notify the resort of our huge delay being that we were supposed to check in at 9pm, and they assured us it would not be a problem and that we would find our room key and information at the reception, which we did and were so thrilled to see such a nice atmosphere and modern room awaiting us after a long day❤️ Our room had a lovely view of the pool and garden of the resort, with all room facilities mentioned. The breakfast was very lovely and served different traditional sweets daily as well! Overall, wonderful experience!
