4 star hotels in Elounda

View from the room is so beautiful. Rooms are clean with everythinh what You need. People who work here are helpful and always happy. Big cheers for bartenders from main bar Chris and Ilyas - they read in your mind :D One little thing to change IMO is tv in room. Small and Without netflix. But - who thinks about tv on holidays and with this view from the room 🥰

Had a lovely holiday here, there was a small error on arrival where they didn't seem to have the correct details of our party arriving and had mixed my husbands name up with a completely different family altogether. This somehow lead to us being checked into the wrong room and being told we had to move after unpacking and settling in however this was rectified relatively quickly albeit beginning to...

This year marks the 3rd time we came to Elounda residence. Year after year the wonderful people at the hotel make you feel like you're coming home. We got one of the new rooms and it was really nice, it was close to the restaurant/pool and had a beautiful view of the sea. Getting to the restaurant is just a short walk what makes for a pleasant morning stretch. The all-in formula offers a big variety...

We have got amazing new apartments with sea view. We're there with my family and the main point was to rest. Definitely enjoy my time there. We have got the all inclusive I must say the was limited however the food was really good. The animation wasn't the greatest but still fine. Overall I would recommend this hotel to families and couples definitely not a hotel for single people which looking for...

My family and I (17 of us) stayed here from 16th -23rd august and we had the most amazing holiday. We were initially quite nervous to stay after reading some of the reviews, but we had a wonderful stay. All the staff, particular the hotel mangers, reception and bar staff were all so polite and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Especially Paul and nick who were a pleasure to meet...

This Resort is incredible! me and my family visited during August and were really impressed with are accommodation. First of all the staff are extremely friendly my step sister lost her retainer that was in a napkin and they managed to find them instantly! We originally were in a different room which we didn’t order but after 2 nights the staff got it sorted and we got moved to what we payed for. The...

We stayed here again as last year was amazing. It’s bed and breakfast and the breakfasts are excellent. A lot of choice, fruit, cereal, toast, cheese and ham, cakes which are delicious and always something hot like omelettes or bacon. Lots of savoury and sweet pastries. The rooms are lovely and spacious, superior rooms have a much bigger balcony. There is a restaurant in site which is nice and roof...

Great hotel can’t do enough for you, we have just arrived back from this hotel and it is very chilled place just what you want to unwind , the food the town great quiet place. And the views are all spectacular , I suggest hire a quad to see the other towns ,

When we arrived we were shown tp our room which was like a broom cupboard with no view from yhe balcony, but how lucky the had a better room they could.offer us at an additional €40 per night, very convenient. The hotel was spotlessly clean, there was plenty of choice for breakfast, and the staff were all very friendly. It has its own small beach with a limited d number of beds, we're early risers...

We initially thought our sea-view room was pleasant but on the smaller side. However, after being given access to another room on our last day to freshen up before departure, we realised just how fortunate we had been. Housekeeping was excellent, and the hotel was spotless throughout our stay. The private beach is quite small. While sunbeds are complimentary for guests, it’s nearly impossible to...

Hotel is good, breakfast is lovely especially the Greek yoghurt and Greek honey, rooms are okay, balcony is very small. Wardrobe space is okay once you take out the iron and ironing board. Very little drawer space, I knew this before I came so bought a hanging drawer unit which worked well. Fridge, safe, Air Con, Nespresso machine, kettle and tea and coffee. I did take my own tea bags. The hotel...

Spent 2 wonderful nights at this beautiful hotel. The circumstances of our visit were a little unconventional in the sense that we were moved here due to the forest fires that were close to our original hotel. We certainly struck gold. Beautiful room. Very clean with a large comfy bed and powerful AC. The staff were very welcoming and are a credit to the hotels management. The Hotels restaurant is...

Candia park village has always been my favourite place, it's beautiful and feel relaxed this was my 7th time going and some things have changed over the years, the rooms are lovely and have had new bathrooms fitted, I was in room 951 which was at the very top so was a bit of a trek getting up to the room but it had a perfect view and was so quiet up there so was lovely, the 2 cleaners that did our...

We returned to Candia park for a second time after our last trip in August. This time we had my in laws in tow so 6 of us overall, 2 children 6&10. Candia Park is beautiful and the staff are a credit to the hotel. There was a different vibe in June than August as it was not the usual school holidays so the hotel was mainly occupied by families with pre school children this meant our children didn’t...

Had an excellent massage with Maria- i had the Cretan massage and it both relieved a lot of pressure and deeply relaxed me (she had to wake me up at the end). Highly recommend. My kids also had the kids massage and loved it! They had the chocolate and strawberry massages and the spa went out of its way to accomodate my 3 kids to ensure no one was ever alone.

Very friendly, smiling, positive staff (although sometimes it seemed that they were hardly managing to do all duties, so dear managers and owners - please, value your people, they are great!!!), many options for relaxation for different ages and interests, great beach club for more active leisure (we tried skijets). Also enjoyed very much the massage in local spa (specialist was Maria). Highly recommend...

Just got home from an amazing 10 days at Candia Park Village. I don’t often write reviews but given the excellent time we had I thought I would share our thoughts. Due to TUI changing the time of our flight we arrived at two in the morning after a long journey and transfer which we booked through TUI with two children under seven, we were all exhausted. The transfer took nearly two hours. Upon arrival...

Everything about this hotel was pretty much perfect. The pool is lovely and clean with plenty of sunbeds for everyone (the hotel open the pool and give out fresh towels at 10am - which meant no reserving of sunbeds!). The beach is pretty, and safe for swimming. All staff were welcoming and friendly. Our apartment was very clean, in fact the whole resort is spotless, and incredibly pretty with flowers...

A very nice hotel situated overlooking the bay in agios Nikolaos. Rooms are light and airy with rooms cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels. The staff are amazing and so friendly and the breakfast has a huge choice from fresh meat and cheese to yoghurt cereal and sausages and bacon. To there's also fresh bread and rolls to choose from and a vast array of dried fruit and even cakes and doughnuts...

Cute hotel with great views in the breakfast area, and nice staff. Also, the view of the hill at the semi-private pools is beautiful. The cleaning was done thoroughly daily in our room. As a nice bonus, there is a cute cat that comes to join at breakfast time every other day.

Great location and the view is awesome. Has a lot more potential to be honest. Rooms were very good although some details prove that they could be a lot cleaner and i cannot accept that in the price given the TV is not smart. Personally i hate when showers don’t have a door and the whole bathroom becomes soaking wet. Bathroom in particular needs more attention regarding a customers hygiene. Essence...

We came for 2 nights in couple. It is a nice place, reserved for adults. Swimming pool is confortable and very quite, with some wind and a very beautiful view on the see! Lots of olive trees around the place. The restaurant is good! Breakfast is very nice too.

We stayed here for 5 nights. Hotel was very clean, bright and welcoming. We arrived late and Iwavva (Joanne) welcomed us like family. We loved our room a unit on the top floor with access to a shared pool. The views are amazing. The breakfast was plentiful with many selections. We had dinner there 2 nights and we’re not disappointed, amazing flavours. The staff in the restaurant and bar were great...

We had a great time here in off-season, my rating is based on the price and value you get. We had only Breakfast (Agios Nicolais has a tons of choices for lunch and dinner) that offered all we expected e.g. fresh fruit, eggs, omelette - the only drawback was the coffee and juices are not fresh and came from a kind of “instant” machine, but if you want a good coffee you can order one from the barista...

We booked for 7 nights in this hotel in Agios Nikolaos. The location is perfect by the sea coast, there is lovely blue flag beach right next to the hotel. Breakfast is nice with high variety of food, service excellent and the hotel staff- always kind and helpful. We have double sea view room on the 7-th floor, over the pull and the bar, but it turns out that it can be quite noise at night. If you want...

The hotel is in a good location in Agios Nikolaos. Shopping, restaurants and cafes are all around the corner. A bit tough to get here with a car though, neither Google maps and Waze couldn’t give a good route to the hotel street. We arrived with a different route every day. Parking is also a bit problematic if you arrive after 5 pm. Hotel itself - breakfast was nice with good bacon, eggs and some different...

Located in the heart of Agios Nikolaos town, just next to the beach. Clean place, unbelievable breakfast, gentle personnel. They have made an extreme make over renovation. There is little place to park.

Review wrote by Andrea & Gary from Manchester. Stayed September 20th to 1st October. Massive congratulations to the hotel manager Antonis and all the team for creating a hotel with a fabulous atmosphere, You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Special mention to Koula and Artela for providing us with pool side snacks, drinks and laughs, you are great ladies and i wish you well. To Eleni and all...

Fantastic stay, had planned for over a year to take our two children for a great holiday before exams and university etc so wanted everything to be right. Not disappointed, the Hotel was spacious and Staff were very friendly. Food was out of this world and a great location over looking the Sea and 5 mins walk into Agios Nikolaos. Great Gym and also tried out the Spa. Would definitely recommend and...

The staff as always make this hotel. Thank you to them for the many years of faithful service to the guests and many management operators/owners. The time has come for a complete renovation which is badly needed - but only in the rooms in my opinion. The public areas (reception, bar, pool, restaurant) are superior to a number of hotels passing themselves off as 5* Hotels, and of course the staff are...

Well located not far from the marina and the city center, this hotel seems to be surviving. The rooms are clean and the bedding is comfortable. In the bathroom, a tiny bathtub doubles as a shower. Using the shower inevitably floods the area around the bathtub. The plumber clearly has shares in a silicone factory, given the quantity used in this small room. To secure your valuables in the room, you...

The hotel is in a perfect location, within walking distance to the city of Agios Nikolaos and a number of beaches. It is situated in a quiet location but also very central. There is a municipal parking 1 min from the hotel with reasonable prices. I really enjoyed the buffet breakfast with very big variety and good quality of products.

Our room wasn't ready (for two people they had given us a room with 5 beds!). They gave us another room number 311. A real scandal, impossible to take a shower, the shower head is in the bathtub and the bathtub is very small. I am 1.53m tall and weigh 65kg, impossible to turn around without flooding everything. Also hello hygiene!!!! The pool closes at 5pm and the water is 19 degrees. Not at all

excellent service, professional attitude, especially S. Xarouli was the best co ordinator in order to satisfy all our needs! all the guests were extremely satisfied! a place to visit in the centre of Agios Nikolaos! do not miss it! many thanks for everything, especially for your smile and for your positive attitude! S. Xarouli i am looking forword to work with you soon!!! all the best for the upcoming...

Comfortable and clean rooms, friendly staff and great location. My friend and I stayed for a week, and enjoyed our stay. The only thing we missed was better choices of non-diary/gluten-free breakfast breakfast and better coffee. My friend is allergic and I need good coffee to awaken my soul in the morning. Or else great stay!

Stayed for a week and I enjoyed location and atmosphere a lot. This is a family run hotel, so it definitely feels different. Staff is very helpful and polite, I can definitely recommend. Town center, seafront walk and the beach is at your doorstep !

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel on the beach and within easy walking distance from the centre of Agios Nikolaos. The hotel is delightfully set with modern stone built bedroom units clustered on each side of a small valley leading down to the sea. There are two large pools (and a smaller one) with plenty of sunbeds and parasols; also nice shady areas for those wishing to avoid the sun...

Was great. nothing more to say. George did a great job. We were there for holidays. The hotel is super. Everyone is nice. We enjoyed.

Beautiful location, excellent hospitality and wonderful people, especially in the restaurant, the service is amazing! Special thanks to Mrs. Thalia for the excellent hospitality she offered us all the days we visited the restaurant!! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a unique vacation alone or with their family!

Very nice hotel! The food is delicious but a little salty! The breakfast that Mrs. Thalia made us was excellent! The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff is very helpful. I am very happy. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back again.

Hotel is perfectly located on the beach and 10 minute walk to town. Room was very comfortable with great views. Had half board and food was very good. Plenty to choose from good variety. All staff were very friendly and helpful particularly Eleni and Georgios in the restaurant. The reception staff were very helpful and were able to arrange a late checkout despite being fully booked. Will definitely...

This hotel is well situated for a ten minute walk into Agios Nikaloas yet quieter than the town. The hotel architecture is lovely as the bungalows are built into the landscape. Our rooms had a side sea view which afforded a good view of the sea and mountains. The staff were friendly and helpful. Spyrios in the restaurant gets a particular mention! The bungalows are good sized. The twin beds don’t make...

Cannot complain about the location, really beautiful place. Staff were mostly fantastic. Room was tired and needs updating. No water left in room, all bars closed upon arrival and therefore nothing to eat or drink upon arrival. Food was fine. Not a good selection at all, very small offering. I survived on greek salad and grilled fish. Baklava excellent! Lots of weird rules around the All Inc. Several...

We have just spent a week at Miramare , absolutely loved it , the staff were great always happy to help and chat , every where was spotless and the food was lovely always a good selection , just a short walk to a gorgeous sandy beach , 15 minutes into Agios Nicolas , it is very steep in places around the hotel is if you have Mobility issues but there were buggies we saw taking people around , a shout...

The hotel itself is good. The food and service are good. The massage, on the other hand, was very disappointing. Instead of a deep-tissue sports massage, we were only lightly stroked, despite repeated requests to apply more pressure. The reason given was that the masseuse was pregnant, which unfortunately is not my problem a deep tissue massage being some lightly strokes. They could‘ve told us in the...

Bed and breakfast only. Fantastic seaview room - we were upgraded free and I'm glad as our room was really spacious. Exceptionally clean everywhere. Pool areas lovely and we always found a bed. Gym - some equipment older but new stuff was being delivered whilst we were there. Breakfast was very good, lots of choice. As others have said lots of steps and hilly which was fine for us but not sure...

Great views and beautiful outdoor areas. The standard of the rooms varies significantly and it is random what kind of room you will get. The room was clean but worn and the view was limited. Pool areas are clean and beautiful. Food is ok but made for a large crowd. Snacks in the pool areas are poor: only donats, small pies and some times watermelon. All inclusive is not worth of the price.

Mixed Experience – Stunning Views but Lacking in Key Areas The hotel offers incredible views and plenty of clean, spacious pools, which were highlights of our stay. Staff were friendly, our room was large with a great balcony, and housekeeping was consistent. The caddy service was useful when available. However, several aspects fell short. The food lacked variety, especially for vegetarians – mostly...

We had the most wonderful stay at Phaea Blue ,a truly beautiful hotel, impressive in every way, and absolutely spotless. What really made our trip special was the people. Every single member of the team went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and welcome. We visited with our 5-month-old baby, and everyone was so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. A special mention to Konstantinos...

It is amongst my personal top 10 hotels I have stayed at. Decor was amazing and the setting was beautiful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and were kept clean with towels that were expected of a five star hotel. All the staff went the extra mile and management were present and available. Breakfast was truly a wonderful experience as was lunch and dinner. Only thing I would criticize is the...

My daughter and I have enjoyed a wonderful week at the Phaea Blue. The staff as others have said are all warm, friendly and very helpful; the food is outstanding, rooms serene and views beautiful. We particularly loved the idyllic Blue Door restaurant where the food and views are delicious. We really enjoyed our evening at the Farmer’s Feast communal dinner in the vegetable gardens and broke bread...

This is hands down one of my favorite hotels. From the moment we arrived - everything was total perfection. The welcome greeting to the amenities, to the activities to the accommodations. The food was as extraordinary as the service - we came away feeling like everyone we encountered there is now a good friend! Highly recommend the traditional “pop up” dinner - which was absolutely spectacular....

The way you are pampered makes you feel home. The kindness and professionalism of the staff is something absolutely worth. Always available and attentive. The restaurant on the seaside, Blue Door, is a place with an idyllic view, you forget you are in a hotel, you feel like being at lunch or dinner with friends. Here too, impeccable service and excellent cuisine. Breakfast is truly unique, quality...

The friendliness, professionalism and efficiency of the staff is what really makes this hotel. Firstly I'd like to thank Maria and her team each morning at breakfast and also Tasos who we got to know through many of our buggy trips. There is no mention of the building work next door on the hotel website which I think is an error and a little unfair. I'd seen mention of it on previous reviews so my...

Comfortable, spacious, quiet, pretty garden, nice landscape, everything clean, delicious and varied food, very friendly and helpful staff, good Wifi, wide choice of TV channels. The (artificial) sand beach is quite small, but was enough for the number of guests at the time. Terraces with comfortable sun loungers next to the beach. Wide choice of rooms types. I had a bungalow with sea view. Comfortable...

To be honest, this hotel has a room for improvement. I will rate it 4 with a half stars. But our stay was a good one: good variety of food, including fish for dinners within half board stay, cava for a breakfast. Always clean everywhere, possibly to use tennis wand equipment for free of charge, parking. Hotel doesn’t provide water within the stay (only one welcome bottle), so you need to pay for drinks...

I had a wonderful stay at Tui Blue Elounda Village Resort & Spa by AQUILA. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The beach access and pool area were fantastic, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway!

Absolutely fantastic stay! The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the rooms were immaculate with stunning views. The amenities were top-notch, especially the pool and spa. Every detail, from the delicious breakfast to the personalized service, made our experience unforgettable. We can’t wait to return—highly recommend!

If you want a holiday that is completely relaxing then this is the spot for you. This all inclusive adult only resort has an amazing team who work tirelessly to make sure your stay is amazing. The Tui reps work with such enthusiasm to ensure you have a wonderful break. For those of you wanting to take part in activities there is a wide range from darts, quizzes to exercise classes. The gardening team...

Booked last minute ,full board weeks' stay.Statement not criticism,there are steps n slopes everywhere some very steep to pools n beach. Can only highly recommend location accommodation,food n service. Only slight criticisms there are quite a few add-ons ,paying for water with evening meals ,90 Euros for late check out for four hours or 30 minute slot for three adults for a complimentary shower...

I've travelled to some incredible places in my life, but very few have come close to my recent trip and stay at this beautiful hotel in Elounda. I could write a book not a review. The staff were amazing, incredibly attentive, polite, helpful and professional. From the moment we arrived they could not do enought for us. For example, we found the mattress too hard, this was not a problem, they immediately...

As returning guests of many years Elounda Beach never fails to impress us.There are too many wonderful staff members to mention by name they anticipate our every need, nothing is too much trouble. We are on holiday from the minute we arrive in the tranquil setting thank you to everyone for making a much needed holiday so special. Food and drinks quality and service excellent as always Just one disappointment...

Just home from an unforgettable week at Elounda Beach Hotel - honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Breakfast was unreal - we were excited for it every morning. The rooms had everything you’d need and the views over Elounda Bay were absolutely stunning. There are four different restaurants at the hotel so we had something new every night - loads of variety and everything we tried was...

Absolutely amazing stay at Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas! The spacious villas with private pools are a dream come true – modern luxury meets natural beauty. We also loved the endless options for activities and relaxation: from water sports to spa treatments, there’s something for everyone. A big thank you to the fantastic team who made our stay so memorable.

From the moment we arrived, we were genuinely impressed by the outstanding service and warmth of everyone at the hotel. The entire team — from the friendly reception staff to the attentive restaurant crew and housekeeping — made us feel not only welcome but truly cared for throughout our stay. What stood out most was the proactive attitude of the staff. They didn’t just wait for guests to ask for something...

Just returned from a week at Elounda Beach, and from arrival to departure the staff at the hotel can not do enough for you. Our room, in the spa building had a lovely view over the bay, was always spotless and the evening turn down service was a lovely extra. We used the private beach a few times and the beach staff were very attentive always there to set up your beds and umbrella. When you first...

As outlined in other reviews there are undoubtedly areas of the hotel which could be improved to make it perfect but our overall experience was very good. The location is idyllic. Also all the staff in every area of the hotel and in particular Nikos who arranged a room change for us and Kostas in the restaurant made a difference with their friendly helpful customer orientated service. Thank you.

Review of Elounda Bay Hotel, Crete Nestled in an idyllic setting, Elounda Bay Hotel boasts stunning, calm beaches perfect for swimming and a selection of inviting pools. The natural beauty of the location is undoubtedly a highlight, offering guests a serene backdrop for relaxation. However, while the hotel markets itself as a 5-star establishment, several aspects fall short of the expected standard...

We have just returned from our holiday at Elounda Bay Hotel, we had a lovely De luxe Sea View room, with fantastic views. This is our third time at this Hotel, I have to say that last year the food was not that great, but this year with a new chef the food was so much better, and there was a good choice of food as well. I don’t eat Pork or red meat, so last year this was a problem for me, so we had...

We just wrapped up an important business meeting and event at the Elounda Bay Palace resort in Crete, and it was a huge success! The team was amazing! Super responsive and professional. From planning to execution, everything was seamless. The staff was dedicated to delivering exceptional service and really knew what they were doing. Our guests loved the resort's stunning setting and the warm hospitality...

First hotel we have revisited in 44 years of marriage! And it didn’t disappoint. Friendly welcome from the reception team on arrival. Great selection of food in the restaurant - it was a case of what don’t you have as there were so many things I wanted!. Peaceful location and stunning beach.

Fabulous stay! The service is impeccable and flawless. Arrived at 1am and greeted by both a receptionist and a porter to take bags to our room. The location is superb. Elounda is only a 15 minute walk away with plenty of drinking and eating options right on the water. The hotel has two glorious private sandy beaches plus two pools. Don't forget to visit Spinalonga too. We've stayed in many hotels on...

Excellent service, excellent accommodation,excellent food. Wonderfull views, spacious room large pool and private beach with all the water sports required. Full English breakfast, continental, fruits and cheese and meats, not forgetting pastries. Evening buffet even better, changed everyday with multiple choices plus multiple exceptional a la carte restaurants Italian il Borro, Japanese Sumosan, and...

Absolutely the most wonderful property- beautiful beach, well-maintained and beautifully renovated rooms, excellent food and excellent, personal service. I’ve returned multiple times and will keep going back.

The Porto Elounda is part of the Elounda Collection, which consists of three hotels (the others are Elounda Mare and Elounda Peninsula) and the hotels share some facilities as well as the restaurants. We stayed here with two little kids (2.5 years old) in a Junior Suite with half board. The Good: - The private beach has crystal-clear water and because of the location being in a bay, despite wind...

While we normally book boutique style hotels, we were pleasantly surprised with this resort. It did take more than a day to figure out where our room was. Our room was a nice size, with a private pool on our balcony, which overlooked the golf course and beautiful Mirabella Bay. It was lovely. Services were excellent, from housekeeping, front desk, dining room and room service. We had complimentary...

Couldn't find many recent reviews on Porto Elounda so I thought I'd try and help out a little. It seems as though the hotel has increased listings with major UK tour operators for the 2025 season so the May half term has seen an increase in British guests. The setting is beautiful on Mirabello Bay and the restaurants all look out onto the shimmering expanse of blue. The hotel is positioned on a...

5 star hote! Private beach with 5 min walking (transfer can be arranged) Helpful staff Many sport and spa activities (highly priced) Car is necessary due to its distance from closest towns (15min to Agios and 5 to Elounda) Walking to Elounda about 30min Good restaurant and bar but very expensive.

Fantastic resort in the Olive groves, with spectacular views on to Spinalonga island! Exceptional service at all the restaurants. Really warm and helpful staff at the Haute Living, especially Lily & Eleni. The house-keeping staff were lovely. Highlight for us was the kids club, led by Eleni and her wonderful team! Our daughter ran in every day-the absolute best we’ve ever experienced!

If you visit Crete, Domes of Elounda is a “must stay”! From arrival to departure we were so impressed with this resort. The facility is beautiful and the accommodations were spacious and welcoming. We especially appreciated our private pool! Food served at both the breakfast and dinner buffets were absolutely delicious. But what really makes this resort a five star experience is the professional and...

If you are searching for the perfect balance between five-star luxury and genuine family-friendly hospitality, then look no further than the Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection, nestled on the picturesque coast of Crete, Greece. This resort offers more than just a holiday—it offers an experience that imprints on your heart, a destination so remarkable that leaving feels more like saying goodbye...

Large resort hotel for couples and families, set in a beautiful location between Elounda and Plaka, overlooked by the fortress island of Spinalonga. There is a spa, great selection of restaurants, choice of pools and chauffeured golf carts to move around the resort. There are various room choices, the pool villas being superb with an array of personal facilities including a washing machine. There...

I am a global traveler being fortunate to have stayed in many amazing resorts. This place is amazing! All the details are considered. If you’re debating on coming here, just come and enjoy you won’t regret it. Beach, food, pool, service, service, facilities all best-in-class!

We were blown away by our first visit to the Domes of Elounda! Gorgeous property with breathtaking views and lots of amenities and small touches to elevate the experience for families with young kids. The Kids Club is amazing and staffed by exceptional women (Eleni, Connie and Debbie)! The concierge team were also very helpful with volunteering information and suggestions (esp Harry, Rena and Marina...

A Perfect Stay I spent 12 days in a Deluxe room at the Royal Marmin Boutique Hotel and everything was simply flawless. From cleanliness to service quality, from attention to detail to the elegance of the property, every aspect exceeded my expectations. The staff were exceptionally kind and attentive, making me feel like a truly valued guest from the very first moment. The atmosphere is relaxing and...

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The views are breathtaking, the atmosphere is peaceful, and we enjoyed the spa and the private beach. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff were always kind and very helpful. A few small disappointments: the welcome drink was just water, the internal shuttle service was slow, and coffee capsules in the room came with an extra charge — which felt unnecessary for...

The welcome, information, and check-in process were all very professional and friendly. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel is situated on a steep hill, but buggies and elevators make access easy. This was the third and final stop of our Crete trip. Based on this, I can't say the value for money was good. Paying 1.5 euros for a coffee capsule in the room is insignificant for those...

This hotel was labeled as a “five star” but I would leave it as a very bare minimum three star. The facilities seem to not have been updated since the 80s - nor has the accommodations been deep cleaned / upholstered / upgraded since then. From the sunbeds, dining chairs, bedroom furniture and cabinets - everything is stained, faded or majorly chipped. The “private beach” is a piece of concrete with...

We had the most amazing stay! We booked a room with a private jacuzzi and sea view – and it was absolutely worth it. Waking up to that breathtaking view every morning was a dream. The location of the room was perfect – on the upper side of the hotel but also on the same level as the breakfast area and the pool, which made it super convenient. There are elevators that take you directly from the rooms...

The hotel is very beautiful, the hotel has its own swimming pool. And some rooms have their own private swimming pool. From room you can have a beautiful view of the sea, you can see the sunrise, you can see the mountains. Room setting is also very cute, daily cleaning. The workers are also very nice and friendly.

29 years ago we honeymooned here. Time passed and we finally found our way back. It has only become better one better. Our room had a private pool with stunning views. The food was outrageous. And the service, from welcome, to servers to cleaning staff were courteous, helpful and friendly. Truly an amazing experience at every step and at every moment. And the facilities and grounds are impeccable...

I can not say enough good things about this hotel. The hospitality was amazing! The staff was exceptional. Joanna was lovely, fun and friendly… she gave us the best advice on what to do. Don’t skip the spa!!!!! Thank you Elounda Mare!

My wife and I stayed here as part of our 25 anniversary and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. It starts at check in, where the staff went above and beyond, they welcomed us with a glass of champagne and then we were escorted to our room by IoAnna, who is an absolute delight. She accommodated any requests with a genuine caring attitude. Hotel has several restaurant options if you don’t want...

This is one of the very first 5-star hotels built in the area, and the clear foresight of its creator must be acknowledged. It is beautifully blended into nature, and its buildings are spread over a huge surface in such a way that – unlike other facilities – they are by no means disturbing. The location, while not offering the very best view of Mirabello Bay and Spinalonga Island – which lies further...

Absolutely beautiful, stunning views of the bay, amazing facilities, and so many great dining options here and at the sister resorts nearby. Quick buggy ride or boat between them. Our honeymoon here was the stuff of dreams; an upgrade to a lovely and luxurious bungalow, the most hospitable and welcoming staff, and so many activities on offer. The jet skis and paddle boarding was loads of fun, and...

We stayed as a family in August and the stay was the highlight of the holiday for all the family. From the furniture of the living rooms, to the gardens and small beach everything is perfect. We had 2 sea facing rooms the view is breathtaking both at sunrise and sunset. The staff is kind and go out of their way to be helpful and do so always with a smile on their face. We also took a boat trip to Spinalonga...

Cayo was just perfect. The staff so friendly and welcoming and not intrusive. Our room was amazing and watching sunrise was incredible. I had the BEST head, neck, shoulder and back massage with Eleni, she has magical fingers!!! Thank you ☺️

Well, what can I say about this beautiful hotel. It's my 2nd time to visit this year, first time with my husband and kids and second time with my mum and we were welcomed back like family. The views from this beautiful hotel are only matched by the warmth of the staff. Don't be fooled by the calm, laid-back atmosphere. This hotel runs like clockwork. Breakfast is a highlight with beautiful food and...

This is a stunning destination with incredible views. The overall design of the hotel is beautifully done – classy, modern furnishings and attention to detail throughout, from bedrooms to poolside bars, restaurants, gym and yoga suite. The yoga studio’s outdoor deck is especially impressive. Staff & Service The staff were superb – genuinely warm, friendly and helpful almost without exception. Special...

This was our second visit and we were glad we made the decision to return. We stayed in an executive room which was spotlessly clean. The room was very comfortable, with plenty of space. Apart from sleeping, we spent most of the time outside on our balcony/patio area and making use of the brilliant infinity pool. The views from the rooms and from the hotel in general are incredible, and if you are...

We had two wonderful weeks in this amazing place . If you are seeking tranquility, peace , luxury , excellent service , very good food. fabulous views , wonderful staff across the board , private pool rooms then Cayo is the place to be . We cannot praise this wonderful hotel enough ! Having stayed in several hotels in the area with private pool rooms and 5 stars we can say the staff at Cayo resort...

Modern , beautiful hotel in the hills of Plaka. Hotel and rooms , spotlessly clean. Lovely rooms , I think all with a pool . Beautiful bedding , changed regularly and towels changed twice a day . I really enjoyed the buffet food. A different menu every night . The only fault I can find is that the food could have been hotter. But I have found this in many European restaurants. All the staff were...

Incredible experience! This was an amazing property and the service, along with the amenities were great from start to finish! My husband and I went to Elounda on the third leg of our island hopping honeymoon and we most definitely saved the best for last! We were warmly greeted with drinks and snacks upon arrival as well as a bottle of champagne in our room (as well as the traditional honey and nuts...

A superb hotel, from the Elounda collection of Maré, Porto and Peninsula. Manolis, the manager and his super friendly team always make us feel great, on arrival and while we stay. The beach area, the restaurants, the attention to all details, are all first class! A unique experience, from first to last minute.

Fabulous hotel, service first class, staff very accommodating, all in all hard to fault. Giorgios, Panos, Natalie, stavlous excellent, tbf staff that went above and beyond too many to name. Will return again for sure.

Stayed in the Presidential 1 bedroom villa for 3 nights ! Amazing time .. we took a helicopter from Mykonos so we were able to land right at the resorts helipad . They left us a bunch of wine , fruits , cakes and food in our villa waiting for us ! The hidden gem of this suite was the walkway down to a private jetty right on the sea ! Amazing little spot ! We also took out the resorts yacht for a day...

We were most disappointed in our first three days' stay. 1. They had a large wedding the day we checked in, the music -was very loud and lasted until 12:10 am the party lasted until well after 1: 30 am. Our ~$1,000 plus a night presidential suite, room #3050 was close to the wedding so no sleep. I called and they said the music was to stop at midnight, the party yelling/screaming lasted past 1:...

It is definitely one of the most beautiful hotel in the entire world. The view is just amazing and the hotel is superb. The spa is great and you have and exceptional view of the sea from the restaurant . There is also a huge golf course and a lot of activities like jet ski and boat trip. All the staff are extremely kind and respond to any request immediately. I highly recommend and I hope to be back...

I had a wonderful stay at Elounda Gulf Villas. The service was excellent – especially at the reception (thank you, Despina!), in the restaurant, and by George at the beach, who made our experience extra special. The breakfast was very good, and I especially loved the idea of making fresh orange juice myself – such a refreshing touch! Cleanliness and attention to detail were also outstanding. The...

The views are amazing just like on the website. The resort amenities are great. The main pool area is spacious and next to the restaurant so you can eat and swim. The resort had a separate beach which is a 10 min ride. The resort has transfer service all day to its beach. The staff at the beach is great and always responsive. A thank you to the front desk staff who made our stay all the more enjoyable

Rooms looked great in the photos but in real life they are a bit dated. We got "upgraded" to a villa that didn't have any views or charm. In general - suites and the villas are wildly overpriced 30-50% off they would be at a fair value.

This very special villa/suite hotel is like a corner of paradise. We had a villa with its own infinity pool, it was luxurious and very private. The facilities are great, with a main pool and comfortable sun beds. Everything is provided for the comfort of guests. The views are spectacular and the grounds well kept and attractive. Don’t worry about the hill, golf buggies are on hand to run you around...

Everything was perfect! We had a wonderful stay at Elounda Gulf Villas. The suite was luxurious, clean, and beautifully maintained. A special mention to the guys at the bar — their service was exceptional and truly made our experience unforgettable. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

The good Staff were all super friendly, breakfast was great with good variety and I always appreciate a breakfast with smoked/cured salmon and option to order a double espresso to start the morning. I felt that all the public areas felt fresh and it looked very sleek. Helpful with the luggages being golf cart driven at check in and check out, although needed for the hillside villa layout. The poor...

Honest Review of the hotel. Got back from 9 days at this hotel a week ago, we booked a private double room with pool and were given room 3056 which was a perfect location and close to everything, pool was cold but once in the body adjusted and we got sun pretty much till 3pm, weather was lovely hot days and not cold at night apart from the last day as it was windy and some rain. Buffet food was...

Lovely hotel. Very good value for money. Only two main drawbacks for our family: pools were extremely cold. We are not fussy about cold water but they were even too cold for us. Maybe it is better earlier in the season when it is hotter. Made the upgrade to a private shared pool a waste of money. My husband and daughter attempted it once but it was far too cold. We found the food very plentiful and...

Spent a week here coming back last weekend. Had a lovely time, hotel good. I think some people do leave very harsh reviews but some points are very true. Went to reception four times about our very cool shower, think someone did come to look but it never got better so had to put up with it. The entertainment wasn't bad at all really, somewhere to go after dinner but oh my goodness sitting in a...

We have just returned after a week holiday from this resort. We are a family of one adult and 3 children age 12, 13 & 16. We paid for an upgrade to a private pool, this was perfect for us as my children did not want to use any of the kids clubs and meant I could sunbathe whilst they enjoyed the pool. This for us was well worth the upgrade price and I wouldn’t stay here again without having a private...

I chose this hotel based on the facilities and price, as this was the first time taking my 8yr old away on my own, I wanted somewhere he would enjoy that also fitted my single parent budget. Yes we have stayed at much better hotels but also paid triple the price so my expectations were not high. We arrived at 2am after a very long transfer, our room was very basic with only 1 window which we were...

Wonderful family holiday. The resort is clean the staff are very friendly and helpful. The highlights for me are the incredible beach and bar (Thank you to the amazing Christina) and the top cocktail bar with stunning views to Elounda and Spinalonga). We will definitely return......

From the moment we arrived we felt the 'WOW' factor. The welcome drink with that incredible view was wonderful. We were then swiftly taken to our villa by golf buggy and met with two wonderful ladies who showed us around. We stayed in a 2 Bedroom Luxury Residence and I think I can safely say, with working in travel for 20+ years, this was the best 'room' I've ever stayed in. Everything about it oozed...

A unforgettable experience. Thanks everyone for taking care of us. Me and John will make sure to return. Seamless check in from the front office team, impeccable service in the restaurants and an amazing location to be staying.

This was our second visit to the hotel since 2009 when it first opened. We were the first two guests on our honeymoon and stayed in one of the Owner's Villas, with private pool and tennis court. The Domes of Elounda hotel is a suite-only basis so the tranquillity and privacy are perfect for our nostalgic holiday. From the warm greeting at check in with refreshing herbal drink to being whisked away...

After a memorable stay in Khersonisos last year, we sought a change of pace and discovered the enchanting haven that is the Domes of Elounda. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality Cretan spirit. The staff, with their attentive care and friendly demeanor, made us feel truly welcomed, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. The location of the Domes...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exquisite hotel, and I must say, it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The service, luxurious amenities, and views made for an unforgettable experience. I was particularly impressed by the exceptional staff, including Nikoleta from Tholos, Eleni from F&B, Buterfly from housekeeping, Dimitris and Haris from concierge, and Jenny from Haute Living...
