We stayed as a family with 3 children and had a marvelous stay in the hotel which is located in the very calm area of Korakas Beach. Nice beach (mixture of sand and small stones), no real village, just a few houses with apartments, few taverns, a really nice beach bar and the hotel. The perfect place to be abroad of tourism and enjoy the wonderful landscape of Southern Crete. Roads have a lot of serpentines which limits thee distance of your potential day trips. But Plakias, Frangokastello, Preveli and even Phaistos and Rethymnon are in reach. Sunrise is a small hotel with appr. 15 rooms/appartments. The rating of 2.5 stars is absolutely correct, it is not luxurious, but solid quality and very nice, friendly and owners/staff. Lovely pool with wonderful palm trees. We stayed in one of the apartments on the upper floor. The room was spacey, nicely furnished, very clean and equipment working fine. We had a marvelous view on the sea from our roof terrace. Food was local, original Cretan kitchen, many home made products, breakfast included, several days a week BBQ. For the other days, many taverns around as an alternative, going out for dinner is always a good deal in Crete, hard to cook it yourself for the same money. Guest in the hotel a really international mix from Germany, Italy, France, Russia, Serbia, Greece. Very friendly, calm atmosphere. Finally to say, we absolutely recommend this hotel for a family stay.
