Enorme Ammos Beach

One of the best choice in Malia, Crete. The Ammos Beach Hotel is wonderful located right on beach with fine sands. We appreciated that was very clean everywhere, the food was delicious and the staff super friendly. Bed was comfy and the sea view make us a perfect holiday. Perfect place for relaxation.

very clean all around with professional staff from top to bottom... food was good breakfast and dinner with a different menu for dinnier every night ( stayed 5 nights). overlooking the beach and one minute walk from a local sandy beach that is well serviced good for long walks . you have access to next door beach resturant which had a nice collection of greek dishes and less costly drinks than that provided by hotel . The only annoying think was the guys handling the sunbeds on the beach as they were more interested to rent out the beds to non resident hotel visitors ( as we are offered free sunbeds by hotel ) . So beach was over crowded on certain days . Hotel offers free daily yoga classes and a complimentary 15 minute massage session at their spa.

Cozy, clean rooms and beautiful environment just as in pictures. Hospital maids and receptionists, that surprised us with better room than the one ordered + a room booking for 1 hour after check out to be able to take a shower before the flight. Tasty food (but overuse of oil is evident). However, during our one week stay the breakfast staff showed no interest to provide a good service: we were not informed about freshly made omlete nor about the possibility to order some other coffee than jug of black coffee which is given by default. Coffee is provided in small cups and the ask for a refill results in obvious irritation and up to 30 minute delay. We also were not informed that booking an evening at the restaurant will leave us without buffet dinner given by default and after neither filling nor delicious restaurant food we were told to leave filled buffet plates at the waiter and forced out hungry. Nice place to stay, but multiple mornings ruined show that it is not a 5 star hotel.

The pool area and rooms looks beautiful, everything is clean and pleasant, however the experience was strogly worsened by rude staff, completely uninterested to give good quality service. Breakfast ladies didn't bother to inform about coffee options, only on third day we reasized we can make orders. A simple latte order took up to 30 minutes. Staff also doesn't speak english which makes very hard to comunicate special needs. Furthemore we weren't informed that having dinner in restaurant would exclude us from dinner buffet. The food in restaurant was of surprisingly bad quality, so we left the food uneaten with hope to fill our stomaches in buffet. However there we were forced out with no possibility to even finish our plates, the manager didn't show any hospitality or understanding of the situation. Food in general is delicious, but overly oily so much that I got digestion issues. I liked my holidays, however the experience was no way near 5 stars.

Rooms and pool area looks beautiful however the staff is the worst I have ever experienced. Breakfast ladies don't even bother to inform about coffee options, on a third day we realised it is not only black coffee available. The omlet was cooked the same each time regardless of what you order. There was no informing about what is included in our package, for example rules for the dinner. On the last day we were asked out in the middle of dinner with no possibility to even finish our plates. Food is floaded with oil and feels heavy, I guess it is cheaper for the hotel. We went to 5 star hotel, but never felt any hospitality neither good service. Don't be fooled by the photos, the area is very small and beach is crowded as well.

Recently had the pleasure of visiting the Enorme Ammos Hotel, and I must say, the spa experience was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I walked in, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and luxury that set the tone for an unforgettable visit.

It is seldom to have such a good service quality in a holidays hotel. We had a great time in this real 5 stars hotel : nice and modern decorated, clean and large rooms + balcony, direct view on the sea ; very pleasant, caring and efficient service people, nice restaurant on the beach with varied food every day. It’s reasonable size (80 rooms) and adult only feature makes you have a real relaxing time. All these positive points are probably due to his efficient and nice Manager, always present and taking care of his customers from 8 am till 22pm and making you feel being unique. For the first time, I can say I would be happy to come back to a holidays hotel. To give more credibility to my comments, I need to point out at least one negative point : the hotel misses a gym, but I understand it will be built for 2024 season. Thank you to the Ammos team for this wonderful time we had there !

Very clean, modern rooms with good confortable bed but small (wouldnt stay there more than 3 nites given size). Breakfast was good and the reception staff are very kind. Cleaning was good too, towels soft. No gym (was clear but a 5 star would suggest it is common to have one). We were able to find a parking spot but in the high season I wonder how that works. The beach bar is super slow, imagine if it is high season… The pool sitting is relwtively small and the beach personnel was not very interested to inquire if we wanted drinks. All in all, would recommend for a short stay on the island of up to 3 nights not in the high season.

The hotel staff are all lovely. Attentive, polite, helpful etc. The hotel itself is clean and well cared for. It has a modern, minimalist feel. For a 4 star plus rating the room we had was very disappointing though. We booked a standard double room. It’s very small. It looks out on to 10ft stone wall that’s literally right in front of you. The bathroom is minuscule and is constantly like a paddling pool because the shower tray in nowhere near deep enough. There is no extractor fan or window in there. Somewhere to dry wet swimsuits etc is a standard item that’s been overlooked. On the plus side, the bed is comfortable and the air con is quiet and effective. The food is pretty good and the eating area is clean and comfortable if a little cramped. The pool is small but pleasant. Sun beds are covered in towels by the early risers 😲 as half of them are in shadow by lunchtime. Overall, disappointing for the price and the star rating.
