Elounda Gulf Villas
Rooms and prices
Description
The complex of suites and villas located on the green hill, so that from any point of the hotel offers panoramic views over Mirabello Bay. A large number of climbs and descents will not prevent the rest of the guests, as movement within the territory may be carried out with the help of club car. However, we do not recommend this hotel to guests with reduced mobility. The hotel complex is perfect for a romantic getaway, a honeymoon, a relaxing family vacation and relax in the company of friends.

Reviews
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 grounds thoughtfully arranged and well taken care of.
Everything about the hotel felt welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommended! And hope to be back for a longer stay!
We booked a Junior Suite at the beginning of May and arrived at Elounda Gulf Suites — only to discover we’d been upgraded to a stunning private villa with our own pool!
The resort is beautifully designed to blend with the sea views. There’s a private beach with a shuttle and bar, a gorgeous infinity pool, and a rich, delicious breakfast.
The villa was luxurious and completely private — but the real highlight was the service.
Danny, Konstantin, and George made us feel truly cared for, with warmth and attention to every detail — and the entire staff was just as wonderful.
The village of Elounda is nice but not particularly exciting — luckily, there are charming villages and great tavernas just a short drive away.
Elounda Gulf Suites is a dream getaway.
5 stars just aren’t enough 🙂
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!
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
The parking lot is towards the top of the facilities so every morning going to the car felt like a trekk in the heat as the villas are on a hill. Not a problem if you stay in the resort but we didnt.
Saltwater pool, would have preferred chlorinated. Size was otherwhise great with good views.
Staff meeting where the general manager feed back to staff should really be held somewhere where guests cant hear this. Two consecutive days there were feedback commentary after breakfast at the restaurant and close to where we still sat. Not appropriate for a 5 star.
The bad
Whilst the room were spacious and felt decadent, our room (nemesis) was clearly not well maintained for a 5 star. Lots of paint splashes at the edges of the walk in wardrobe and bathroom made it feel less than fresh. No issues with the bed room or living room but its these details that made it feel less decadent. The whole room also felt like it had a layer of dust when we got in so the slippers helped but again such details shouldnt have been felt. The worse culprit was the middle of the bathroom which had marble tiles that clearly had been worne off, so that the underlying food or flooring was exposed with whatever glue or fixing that were being chipped off everytime we walked over it or even cleaners clean it. Not impressed by that and that room and area really needs to be looked over.
High expectations for a 5 star but some serious letdown of the given room, and some really well executed areas.
