Best Hotels in Elounda

The unkempt children’s playground with weeds growing don’t really fit the boutique hotel claim. Positives The restaurant is high quality. The staff and customer service were the best thing about our stay

Very professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here but didn’t feel the price matched the offering. We specifically look for small hotels with a boutique authentic feel

I have seen this at Four Points hotels, but this should not be openly visible at a luxury property. At another price point I would be happy to stay again. For what I paid, I don't find this hotel to be good value

Misleading Marketing Negatives Marketing and website over sells. It has the feel of a large hotel, which after a bit of research was the case. It rebranded and remarketed in 2024

The hotel was beautiful, staff helpful, and food delicious (we ate at the farmers feast and blue door). We also had an excellent massage at the spa

The atmosphere is calm and elegant, with breathtaking views that instantly put you into vacation mode. One of the absolute highlights was the Phāea Farmers Feast – such a unique and beautiful experience

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

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

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

What makes this place the best, was the staff. They made us feel like a part of the family. And if you are getting married anytime soon, there will be no one more excited to welcome you than Elounda Mare

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

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

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)

The beach is quite small and the shade of the umbrellas may be insufficient at times, but there is an area under the olive trees that I particularly loved. A few spots on the cliffs are simply spectacular

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

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 ☺️

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

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

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

The private beaches are probably the best on the island, with soft sand and wave breakers that keep the water calm and peaceful. It made for the most relaxing days by the sea

The setting, service, and attention to detail made it one of the best hotels we’ve ever visited

The photos were quite limited, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect, but the space and layout were far beyond what we imagined. We arrived late, and the staff were kind, patient, and incredibly accommodating

The children’s pool is gently heated and perfect for little ones, and there was plenty to do around the grounds. We didn’t end up using the creche much because we were happy just spending time together on site

It really stood out how every staff member was willing to help, not just the one assigned to our table. They were also so lovely to our son, which made mornings even better. The resort is very family friendly

The view from our room was amazing too, and waking up to the sound of the water was unforgettable. Breakfast was a highlight every morning. The team there deserves a special mention

NICE, CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE ROOM, PANORAMIC VIEW TO THE SPINALONGA ISLAND, EXCELLENT BREAKFAST. YOU WOULDN'T ASK FOR MORE... DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

Our room was a small suite and had 3 balconies. We made reservations on short notice. Breakfast was nice and the views were good

Food is oke, it's peacefull and the place is so amazing! People are kind and friendly. Best place i have ever been!

Hotel has two decent pools Rooms a little outdated. No bug mesh on any of the windows so had a a couple of bugs in the room. Needs some small improvements but good for a couple of nights

Good hotel with nice views of the ocean. Hotel is in a quiet location between Elounda and Plaka. Good shower with lots of pressure. Breakfast was nice with lots of options

great location, fantastic views, friendly staff and food and drinks were excellent
