We have just returned from a wonderful week spent at TUI Suneo Chrissi Amoudia. It deserves a very high rating, and I really want to highlight the staff's efforts to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Here are the specific details:
ENTERTAINMENT, ACTIVITIES & FUN: As two parents traveling with an active 10-year-old boy, we were very lucky with the entertainment team, Kristian and Fabian. They played everything imaginable with him and anyone else who wanted to join: football, darts, water polo (highly appreciated and extremely competitive), ping-pong, aqua gym, etc. We truly appreciated their openness, the way they made an effort to remember everyone's names, and the help they offered to the children. In addition to English, one spoke German and the other French. Even I benefited from some short yoga and stretching sessions for beginners.
We also enjoyed the Cretan night (traditional dances with explanations), the quiz nights, the magic show, and the rock concert.
FOOD: Another favorite part of our stay! There were so many options, especially when it came to salads, side dishes, and vegetables in general. For both lunch and dinner, there were always at least three types of meat, which always included fish. Breakfast was also extremely rich; out of dozens of categories, I could barely identify one that was missing: nuts. But you truly had plenty to choose from.
At every meal, there was a very wide selection of fresh fruit—truly fresh and highly appreciated by the guests: kiwi, watermelon, pineapple, oranges, grapefruit, cherries, pears... either peeled and sliced or whole. The fruit stand was superb!
In the morning, at lunch, and in the evening, there was a live cooking station where a chef prepared simple items right in front of us: eggs, steaks, meat for tacos, etc. They were very nice and helpful people, just like the restaurant manager.
They also organized themed Greek, Italian, and Mexican nights. Everything was delicious!
The children had their own kids' corner, which hit the spot with pasta, pizza, french fries and hamburgers.
The All-Inclusive package was very generous in terms of snacks, ice cream, sodas, and drinks. We don't know how the alcoholic drinks tasted, but they seemed to be quite popular. We only tried a bit of beer; it didn't seem very strong, but it was tasty!
ROOM: Decent. We stayed in Bungalow type 1, which was not recently renovated. There was enough space, a small balcony with a good setup for drying clothes, and we had no issues. Admittedly, the floor could have been wiped a bit better around the corners, but we adapted.
SURROUNDINGS & GROUNDS: Most of the resort feels like a large garden, with green spaces full of flowers and many mature trees—this is the silver lining of the resort's age; everything feels exactly as it should.
The pool is quite large and well-maintained. The sun loungers always seemed to be occupied even though there were many, but we didn't use them as we preferred the beach.
The area is fairly isolated, so you need to rent a car to reach other spots. Public transport is rare.
BEACH: About a 12-15 minute walk from the hotel. It has nice sand that doesn't stick to your skin, but there are large rocks in the water. I think water shoes are necessary—though I managed without them. It's a great spot for snorkeling as the water is clean and pleasant.
PROS: almost everything :)
CONS: the hotel is under a flight path
