Best Hotels in Elounda

First impression was wow ! The lobby is gorgeous and welcome drink is the best I’ve ever had

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

The beach was stunning, the atmosphere relaxing, and the whole experience was perfect from start to finish. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Check in was easy, I didn’t have to leave the couch, the check in lady came to me with an iPad and made the process very comfortable

A special mention to Konstantinos, the hotel manager, who personally checked in on us every single day

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 room wasn't the best

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. I had a bungalow with sea view

Comfortable, well equipped, and perfectly clean. The sea view was fantastic, overlooking the swiming pool and the coast. Our room was in a good state of renovation

I appreciate that a good choice of local greek and crete specialities is available in addition to the usual things one gets everywhere. A range of dishes are freshly cooked all the time, some in live cooking

(Maybe other rooms are not, which may explain the varying comments in that regard. ) Enormous size bed, spacious balcony with comfortable furniture, good Wifi

For example, we found the mattress too hard, this was not a problem, they immediately fitted a topper. On arrival, we were upgraded to a deluxe room with steam room and Jacuzzi bath and more floor space

Luxury accommodation with private pools and a very hood beach. Good service and good environment, but not lively place

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

Food and drinks quality and service excellent as always Just one disappointment this year was the absence of the experienced,friendly and helpful team of Nikos and Panos who had looked after the beach loungers for so many years,hopefully the new team will grow into their role given time and guidance

The hotal has a few shops (including high end jewellery store) and a great range of restaurants, including tradtional Greek style Taverna, Italian and fine dining options. You basically do noy need to leave the resort

So there is no rush to put your towel on a bed, so you can relax during your breakfast. We stayed B&B only, and boy the breakfasts are good. Great selection for all tastes and diets

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

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

Similarly, the hotel staff are polite and approachable, but there’s an underlying sense of dissatisfaction in their working environment that subtly impacts the guest experience, creating a less-than-welcoming atmosphere

The staff as always were superb, with special thank you to the lovely lady who cleaned our room every day Joanna, Maria and George who served us at the Sale Bar, Frangisco our lovely beach man who looked after us so well every day putting our sun beds out, nothing was too much trouble for him and not forgetting Victoria on the Customer Relations desk, what we would have done without her, always so...

Greater thought and effort are needed to elevate the culinary offerings to match the expectations of a luxury stay. At the bar, while there’s a decent cocktail list, the execution is underwhelming

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 breakfast buffet was good and all of the restaurants on property are great as well. The golf course provides a nice relaxing round with constant wonderful views of the bay

Excellent service, excellent accommodation,excellent food. Wonderfull views, spacious room large pool and private beach with all the water sports required

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.

! We enjoyed our stays very much!! We were in the new building!! The rooms were big quited and very comfortable, the water pressure in the overhead shower was weaker than expected

Evening buffet even better, changed everyday with multiple choices plus multiple exceptional a la carte restaurants Italian il Borro, Japanese Sumosan, and the yacht club

No crowds, no queuing, no hassle polite friendly ‘family’ team , no worries only a chilled out paradise

I will mention Maria, the front desk manager, as a person who made this vacation even better. She was super helpful and did her best to accommodate our requests while having a big smile on her face

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

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 to a second home

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 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

Petros from the front desk did an outstanding job of making us feel welcome and comfortable when we checked in. All of the restaurants on the property were outstanding and served the freshest of foods

Great hotel! Aquapark + great views. But you definitely need to rent a car, it's a long way to the sea. All the pools are with sea water, so many people don't go to the sea

View from the room is so beautiful. Rooms are clean with everythinh what You need. People who work here are helpful and always happy

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 of different food and drinks, the soda isn't the best but i don't drink it so i don't mind

Going to the sea is a downhill walk on a road that runs through an olive field, i love it (their can be some garbage by the roadside but that's not the hotels fault)

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

I can not rate this hotel highly enough. The location and view is stunning, the amenities excellent and the staff phenomenal

A Perfect Stay I spent 12 days in a Deluxe room at the Royal Marmin Boutique Hotel and everything was simply flawless

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 a hotel of this standard

I have absolutely nothing to complain about, this was a perfect stay, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking top-level comfort, beauty, and hospitality

During my stay, I also used the spacious and well-equipped gym, which was a great bonus and added to the overall comfort of the experience

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

The location, while not offering the very best view of Mirabello Bay and Spinalonga Island – which lies further north – is still breathtaking and its most fascinating feature in my opinion is the secluded, elegant, cozy, reserved, and quiet atmosphere

Breakfast was gorgeous, with every kind of excellent food and, though I do not usually indulge in sweets, I could not refrain from noticing eleven different types of cakes (a few of which I guiltily, but more than satisfactorily, tried)

She accommodated any requests with a genuine caring attitude. Hotel has several restaurant options if you don’t want to leave and explore the island. Highly recommend the Italian a Japanese restaurants

This was our final island on our trip so we were content to stay on the resort and not explore the island. If you want to see more of Crete, definitely rent a car bc the island is huge

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

Breakfast was largely brilliant – fresh fruit, yoghurt, and good pastries. Omelettes were fine, but the Eggs Benedict were disappointing. The hot buffet didn’t tempt us, so can’t comment there

The quality of the food is excellent at Sage and Thyme, but the restaurants in Plaka are a good alternative if you're looking to get out of the hotel for an hour

Special mention to the bartender at Avra, who made excellent cocktails and clearly knew her craft

Food & Drink Cocktails and local wine were excellent, but a word of caution: “Happy Hour” timings are unclear, and at €14 a cocktail it’s worth double-checking

Kelari, the à la carte restaurant, was by far the best dining experience – superb food, though the €20 half-board allowance doesn’t go far. The evening buffet was €45 per person, per night if we hadn’t booked half board

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 ☺️

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

We had a private pool and beach access which was WONDERFUL! The view of the sunrise was unforgettable! We also went to the spa and experienced the pool, saunas and steam room (A+ experience)

Every little detail was thought of, down to a heart shaped door mat in front of our room. They also had a private breakfast delivered for us in our room the first morning

Excellent service, unique location. This is the utmost quiet place for those who need privacy. You get genuine attention from the hotel personnel. The lagune and the sea floor are excellent too

We ate at two of the restaurants (Il borro and Yacht Club) and had room service during our stay. The options were unlimited, but our favorite was Il Boro

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.

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

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

The beach club is perfect with a minibus on hand to take you to and from the hotel. However, what really makes this place special is the staff. They cannot do enough for you and are exceptional

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

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

Also very close to the excellent bus service to be able to jump on and off buses to explore this BEAUTIFUL island!!! I cannot wait to go back!!!!!! Thank you for a fantastic stay, see you VERY soon!!!!

My Mother and I had a REALLY REALLY wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were soooo friendly and EXTREMELY kind. It is a family run hotel which has absolutely breathtaking stunning sea views

Perfect spot!!! Nice, tidy and clean rooms!!! Staff is also really friendly!! We are definitely coming again!!! Highly recommended!!

The location couldn’t be anymore central to Elounda for delicious restaurants, shops, bars, cafes etc

Centrally located in Elounda on the waters edge. Peaceful and my balcony overlooked Spinalonga. Clean and staff very friendly and welcoming

Very basic hotel . Breakfast limited. The location is great.. it's value for money and clean

HOTEL There was good WIFI EVERYWHERE! The WIFI was great in our room, by the pool and even on the beach! The staff were so lovely and helpful and we had NO ISSUES throughout our stay

We stayed here again as last year was amazing. It’s bed and breakfast and the breakfasts are excellent

Housekeeping was excellent, and the hotel was spotless throughout our stay. The private beach is quite small

The rooms are lovely and spacious, superior rooms have a much bigger balcony. There is a restaurant in site which is nice and roof top cocktail bar is superb. Spiros the bar tender is such a pro

He makes the best cocktails and is so helpful, he runs the bar so well and is chatty and friendly

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
