Hotels in Elounda

Misleading Marketing Negatives Marketing and website over sells. It is misleading. It is not a boutique hotel. It has the feel of a large hotel, which after a bit of research was the case. It rebranded and remarketed in 2024. Some parts of the complex feel a bit dated. The rooms have all the amenities but the decor is very early 2000’s and needs a refresh to justify the prices. The pool and surroundings...

My biggest recommendation is not to stay here until construction is complete on their other hotel property. Prior to booking, we reached out with our concerns about construction and were told construction would not take place during the summer season. When we arrived, we were disappointed to see that was not the case. The entire day jack hammering, vehicle noises, etc could be heard. In our original...

We had the most magical stay at Phaea Blue – it truly felt like a dream! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so warmly welcomed, and every detail of the resort was just perfect. 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. Sharing...

We had the absolute pleasure of spending our honeymoon at Phaea Blue Crete, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel special and welcomed. Every single person we interacted with was warm, genuine, and incredibly professional — truly a 10/10 experience. What made it even more memorable was the thoughtful complimentary bottle of...

Five stars - would give 6 if it was an option! The entire experience was fantastic. The service was exceptional and the staff was incredibly attentive. Already planning to come back next summer!

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Great little place,hills and steps to contend with,so bear this in mind if booking,but they do have a golf buggy and are more than happy to assist you up and down driveway as long as you communicate with them,nice breeze around pool which is much needed with the heat,food was amazing,no complaints.

The best hotel we have stayed at. The staff were friendly and courteous, especially Albert, who seemed to be doing a range of roles from helping with baggage on arrival to waiting on food ect, a really helpful member of the team. He also had some great card tricks and helped us out with knowledge of the local area and recommended some places to visit. Gregory the bartender was another notable member...

The hotel was lovely, with an incredible view. However, we paid for a double, and we got a twin. The rooms could do with a bit of an update. The material was broken on the chairs, and the mesh blind. The bedding is old and had dirty patches. Also, I wouldn't advise staying here if you struggle with walking as it's on a very steep hill, that you have to walk up with your luggage. You can get taxis to...

Had a great time here, all the staff (especially the manager who works really hard yet was always upbeat, friendly and helpful) were fantastic and the food was enjoyable. The food was lovely, I found it all to be very tasty and got to try lots of new dishes. I haven't felt that relaxed in a long time. Thank you for a great two week stay!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean and tidy. Greek food in buffet was rather good, the pasta and pizza a bit less impressive. House wines not really great, but good choice of other drinks, both with and without alcohol. A bit too few sun loungers. A bit out of town, something like 30 minutes walk. Absolutely amazing views from pool and dining areas.

Absolutely loved everything about this beautiful hotel. Our room had the most amazing view and was clean and a good size. The bed was a little hard but as soon as we mentioned this to reception, a mattress topper was added to.the bed which made a huge difference. The staff were all wonderful - all reception staff couldn't do enough to help you, Albert was great collecting and taking our luggage, restaurant...

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...

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......

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

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

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. The location couldn’t be anymore central to Elounda for delicious restaurants, shops, bars, cafes etc. Also very close to the excellent bus service to be able to jump on and off buses to explore this BEAUTIFUL...

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

This is not a 4 star hotel - it's 3 at a push. The positive points are that it's extremely well situated in Elounda which is a lovely place for a chilled quiet week in the sun with plenty of bars and restaurants (although absolutely no nightlife if you want to go out for a dance). The staff are helpful and friendly, our room was spacious with a sea view. However my advice is don't go half board here...

We have just returned from a 10 day trip to the Elounda Orama and had a fabulous time. Our room was great, comfortable bed, great shower and very clean. The aircon was perfect after a warm day out and about. The pool does get busy but we were always able to find somewhere to sit. Breakfast had plenty of choices, hot and cold, with a very friendly chef who enjoyed explaining what traditional dishes...

We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at the Elounda Orama. We were greeted with a warm welcome, by the super friendly reception staff. The hotel is divided into 4 blocks, so is a little confusing at the beginning, as you need to go in 3 separate lifts to get to the top block, or climb a lot of steps! We were in block C, room 3303, but were rewarded with amazing views of Mirabello Bay and...

This was our second visit to this hotel, we returned as we loved Elounda last year. This year we decided to upgrade our room to a superior room with a sea view. We finally got to the hotel at 3:30am, only to be told that our room was not ready due to a technical problem. We were given a very nice room but this was our first disappointment. Next morning we had a cold shower as there was no hot water...

The hotel was disappointing, clearly it was not ready for the season.Whilst the staff were positive the general standards let it down. Our first room had no hot water we then moved without any help to another room which had nice terrace and seaview. The loungers unfortunately were broken and took two days to get changed. The breakfast was basic no live cooking and repetitive. Hotel needs a full overhaul...

Frendly staff, helpfull all the times.. The breakfast was assome with the view marvellous. Eggs was perfect. We have had a nice and clear room. Not so big but enough. Parking up a little bit have and i think a bit small. But its ok. Wich is important was really good.

Yet again a fantastic stay and wouldn't stay anywhere else in that part of Crete as it wouldn't be the same. Location - fantastic. Panoramic views of the gulf and across to Spinalonga, mountains behind. Short walk into Elounda town itself. Plenty of hikes and other options but also an easy drive to elsewhere such as Agios or further afield. Food - exceptional. Breakfasts are varied, a large number...

We recently stayed at Elounda Heights for a couple of nights. These nights were the highlight of our 10-day trip to Crete. Everything was wonderful, the room, the pool and pool bar, the restaurant, the grounds, and the staff. Ritsa warmly greeted us and showed us around the beautiful resort. We spent a lot of time around the pool. The view is incredible, overlooking Mirabella Bay. And the pool bar...

We stayed at Elounda Heights in July this year for the umpteenth time. We had the usual wonderful welcome from the staff and spent a fabulous two weeks in their company. We usually stay in one of the studios. They are spacious, well-equipped, comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. The views over the bay are breathtaking and there are places to sit where you can enjoy these in peace. The meals are...

We arrived in July and stayed through to August for 14 nights. This is our 3rd visit to Elounda and the heights in as many years. It is situated in a beautiful location overlooking Elounda and the bay. The hill is steep but after all the amazing food and drink its good to balance things out. The rooms are spacious, clean and welcoming. Cleaned to a high standard every day bu Christina . We stayed as...

Another fantastic holiday at Elounda Heights. You only have to read the reviews! What really makes this place special is the family and staff

We visited Elounda Heights for the first time in 2024 and have just returned from another week in this delightful family run hotel. Their warm welcome, high standards of service and attention to detail are exceptional and its impossible not to relax from the moment you arrive. The views of the bay and Elounda town are beautiful and make sunrise spectacular for those that rise early. Freshly cooked...

The hotel staff were great the room really clean. Unfortunately we were in rooms near the reception area next to the cleaning supply cupboard. The cleaning ladies woke us every morning at 7am getting supplies out. The bed in one room was really good the other room they were rather hard and you could feel the springs. The Air conditioning was very noisy but works well. Had our rooms been located somewhere...

Perfect getaway. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The pool was clean and there were plenty of loungers for all. A few minutes walk into Elounda the location was great Rooms had a mini fridge and the beds were comfortable. Would / will be back.

Not quite sure where to start with this hotel, but I will start by saying it is a 3 star hotel at a push. The rooms are very run down, the showers are lukewarm at best (we had 2 warm showers throughout our entire 7 day stay), and the daily 'clean' of the room was laughable. Whilst we got fresh towels every couple of days, our sheets were never changed, our bed was either not made at all, or made very...

Superb views, great standards of cleanliness, rooms absolutely everything you'd expect or more for a hotel in this range. Ideally located both for Elounda itself and the peninsula where you have some wonderful wilder beaches. Didn't eat in the hotel much but had breakfast once and dinner once, both of which were excellent value. No hidden charges. This is our second time in Elounda and our first stay...

Great people, great atmosphere, delicious food , quiet, very clean, very nice view from the balcony, sea and mountains ! Amazing experience, very close to the beach, very close to Elounda Center and Kolokita Beach. Stuff is very friendly, rooms are very clean.

Clean, quiet and comfortable. On outskirts of town but easy 10 minite walk to centre along restaurant *****. Seems to have been spruced up and looks nice and fresh and clean. Rooms are basic but perfectly adequate. Helpful staff. In house breakfast and dinner is limited but reasonable and good value if you want to avoid more expensive restaurants. Pool area was clean and quiet. Pool itself often had...

Beautiful property and very relaxing! Good food also for the buffet!

Our stay was amazing, highly recommend for families too. The room was great, modern and clean, the facilities are great, the swimming pool it’s very nice. The staff is nice and always available and helpful. Location is also good.

Beautiful hotel set in beautiful grounds. Relaxing environment, room size excellent. Fabulous breakfast included in the stay. All food was excellent and good value. Highly recommend

The amount of palm was like an oasis after being in busy Istanbul. The food and dining there is phenomenal. There is a lovely pool and comfortable pool chairs to relax in. They have a great bar and the hotel itself is very well kept.

Nice hotel and good customer service. Great breakfast selection but bit of a walk to local restaurants

Staff were very friendly and helpful - couldn’t have asked for more. The actual hotel is very clean and well kept. However, it is almost split in half in terms of renovation / comfort - both for the rooms and communal areas. Overall comfortable and nice, but could be better for the price point. The half board buffet was a little disappointing in terms of range / quality, but the restaurant staff were...

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...

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...

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.
