Hotels in Elounda

Just back from a few days here, it was a great trip, before we arrived I reached out to the hotel as had a few questions, Matthew kindly answered them and was very helpful. Upon arrival we were shown to our suite, the hotel had gone above and beyond with providing champagne, chocolate cake and towel swans with fresh flowers laid out for us. The suite was stunning with our own private pool which was...

First time visiting Crete and had a wonderful experience not least because of our fantastic stay at the Mirabello Bay Luxury Resort. Starting with the amazing customer care given by everyone right from the reception welcome to housekeeping and the restaurant staff. You truly feel they all aim to create the best guest experience and prioritise taking care of their guests. A special shout out needs to...

Overall a good stay. The only issues I had is that my room was next to the cleaning persons room. So it was very loud in the morning and the doors in the hallways slam shut so that woke me up several times throughout the morning. This is a kid friendly resort so there are a LOT of kids so just be mindful when booking. The beach was dirty more than likely due to the kids. The staff are all very friendly...

I stayed in this hotel for one week with my family and we had a truly enjoyable experience. The Waterpark is fantastic for children, offering lots of fun and activities. The beach is very comfortable and well equipped, perfect for relaxing. Our room was soundproof and had all the amenities we needed to feel at home. The food was excellent, with a good variety and high quality. There is no mini club...

Exceptional stay. The property was amazing with lots to places to chill and relax. The food was absolutely amazing With lots of variety in the buffet including for kids and toddlers. Perfect for a family trip. They had thought of everyway to make our stay comfortable and even gave us an upgrade to all inclusive. Highly recommend and a must visit

The rooms were spacious and clean ! The cleaning ladies and the staff were really helpful and smily. We were amazed by the sea view.

Beautiful grounds. Very quiet and peaceful. Good breakfast and clean rooms. However no atmosphere whatsoever. Evening meal terrible and expensive. No music or entertainment in evening. Says bus stop outside but no buses directly into Agios Nic. Small beach but not nice for swimming. Got the impression hotel was nearer to the town but too far to walk for older people. Most of the staff lovely but some...

We stayed here following a 4 star holiday in Chania last year. Although the communal areas of the hotel are lovely, the pool areas and rooms need updating badly. We were given double rooms in the detached block which were cleaned with fresh towels daily. The storage was poor so we lived out of our cases and were woken through the night by loud air con fans (external not ours) and I heard others complaining...

Great location, clean throughout and staff are friendly. Manager is great. Our room was 206 in the main building. Lovely view and had everything we needed. Quiet location. Ate out every night in different location. 2 lovely beach front restaurants 10 mins away at Amoudi Beach. Town about a further 20 mins. Had a wonderful holiday and would definitely return. So long as it remains adults only...

Rooms were spotless and very comfortable, with a great sea view from the spacious balcony. However, we had to move rooms as our first room (205) was right next to an extremely noisy extractor on the outside wall, which was on throughout the night and prevented us from sleeping. Good choice for breakfast but evening buffet was disappointing. Pool areas were well laid out with comfortable sunbeds. ...

If you’re looking for a friendly quieter hotel but still within easy reach of Agios Nikolaos this is your place. Staff were great and very helpful providing us with food after we arrived late at night and also allowing us the use of rooms and a late check out on the last day.

The food was a let down mostly cold and not to a good standard - husband had food poisoning! Do not recommend eating at this hotel

This resort is absolutely magical! The views! The pools! The stellar service! We stayed in the Grand Animos Villa and it was absolutely perfect. The pool is massive and the privacy and unobstructed views meant that we rarely left the backyard. Plus, we had a private cove that offered direct access into the ocean. Fish were everywhere! The team was so helpful in planning catamaran trips as well as local...

Perfect stay at this hotel! Beautiful two bedroom villa with pool. Exceptional staff and cleaning team. Maria on the restaurant team was wonderful. Relaxed and serene ambiance throughout. We especially enjoyed the sheltered cove for swimming and snorkelling. Children spent all of their time in the sea, rather than the pools as felt so safe in the sea. Loved the jetty bar for an after dinner drink....

This is a fabulous hotel in a stunning location. We are a family of 4 with grown up kids (aged 20 & 16) so took a bit of time selecting a hotel that would suit us all and this hotel did not disappoint. We booked one of the villas with a private pool overlooking the sea which was absolutely stunning. The hotel is immaculate, the beach and swimming areas never crowded and the food consistently of a...

Great location, great service, great food. We were in this hotel to visit the Eastern part of Crete and it was fabulous. The arrival with personal greeting, a tour of the property and other nice small attentions. The swimming pools are also great, with one for sportive people different from the one for sun bathing people and some rooms with personal small pools. The half pension was great with good...

An extremely pleasant stay - great rooms, good food, very good service, lovely pools. Recent expansion has been very well done, and there was no sense that the hotel was "stretched" at all. I wanted to write because this is a repeat visit for us, and the management have obviously responded to some of the comments that have been made here and also on the hotel's own feedback. It is worth leaving a...

We had a wonderful stay earlier this month at this beautiful hotel. On arrival, we were delighted to find our suite was larger than expected, with a lovely view out to sea and great amenities. The layout of this hotel, with the infinity pool overlooking the private beach and sunbathing areas make it really special, and very easy to make the most of all options! The sunbeds are really comfortable and...

Hotel Eliza is a wonderful find located on the edge of Agios Nicholaos. Small, but tidy and clean, beautiful garden, and quiet location offering a break from the hectic tourist world. Eliza and her father George made us so welcome that it was like staying at a private home. The rooms include a small kitchen well supplied to make a simple meal. The town center is a short walk, and a local bus is available...

Eliza Hotel, a wonderful setting for an authentic stay! We spent an unforgettable week at Hotel Eliza! Surrounded by a flowery and shady garden, of great beauty, each of the accommodations has its own terrace, privacy, seating and shade. The hotel has a very clean swimming pool, available throughout the day. We occupied an apartment similar to a typical authentic Cretan maisonette, one that goes off...

Great place. Lovely pool. Wonderful views. Welcoming hosts.

Welcoming hosts, comfortable accommodation, very clean, home from home, lovely cold coffees every morning, pool area great for relaxing and cooling off

Very pretty traditional Greek taverns food was very good and good friendly service

Very friendly and helpful hosts

First the staff they were amazing friendly and very helpful, especial thanks to Marina, Mariana and Sofia and all reception staff

The hotel is very suitable for couples, clean and quiet. The only drawbacks are 2: 1. The rooms are old. 2. The hotel charges a fee for using the sauna.

Room for improvement Beautiful hotel, especially the main pool, the beach with the different plateaus for sun bathing and the walking path along the cliff. I loved our room and our shared pool, however our room was left to the reception area and the pool bar- some nights music was extremely loud and guest were extremely loud (if I wanted party vacation I would go to Mallorca/Ibiza) A door that keeps...

We’ve spent our honeymoon in Minos. We had junior suite with private pool, waking up every morning to a sunrise😍 hotel has impressive views from basically anywhere you stand. Few highlights- Yoga classes at sunset, breakfast with sea view, plenty semi-private spaces with deckchairs overlooking the sea, herb gardens, amazing sunrises and sunsets. Only good things to say, thank you, especially for our...

Minos palace is a little paradise. It is my second time here and I will definitely come back. The views from the hotel are stunning. The renovated rooms are fabulous (be sure to book a renovated one, because the old ones are not nice. I was told that they will renovate all rooms in the future). I love the little beach. The size of the hotel is perfect, not so many people and you feel that you have...

Amazing hotel if you want to feel in paradise! We stayed at one of the infinity blue rooms.. and the views were perfect! The staff at the hotel was very kind and I want to mention especially Marina from the guest relations team, as she helped to organise a wedding proposal in the best spot of the hotel with views to the Mirabello bay! She also helped getting a photographer to record thus memorable...

Amazingly friendly hotel, Great food, Jeanette's cooking is superb & her chips are the best I've ever eaten. Sally's toasties we also extreamlly yummy! Very disappointed when another patron kindly left me a bag of left over high factor suncreams for the child I had with me as he was getting bad sunburn. I was told bag of 7 or 8 bottles were left in a bag behind the bar for me to collect. Yet when...

If you want traditional Greece this is it. Functional not flash. Met so many people who have been coming here for years. Small pool and bar which was perfect for the small family run hotel. Paid extra for air-conditioning but worth it as so hot this week.

This was my second year at the Lato Hotel Arriving in the early hours of the morning, the night manager hugged me. It really did feel as if I had never left. I cannot add much more to last year's review really. As a female solo traveller, it is essential to feel safe and I do at the Lato! Thank you to all the staff there who work so hard (especially the chambermaids) for another work so hard!

The staff are very friendly and helpful. We got a room with a lovely view. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. Breakfast is great too. Walking distance to everywhere in town and overall a great relaxing stay. There is a roof terrace that perhaps needs a bar but am not complaining. Would stay again for sure.

Very nice family hotel. Very, very clean and lovely people. Close to the beach and only 15 minutes walk to the center. Have visit lot of hotels in this place, but this one is tehe best. For sure we will come back. Breakfast is very nice, not to much.

What not to say about this little Gem of a hotel. Family run, quaint place to relax and unwind. Breakfast only, but wow those lovely ladies make the best jams, honey, and cakes. Beautiful selection of fresh meat n fruits, choice of eggs. All to eat on the Beautiful patios. Rooms are very nice and clean. And serviced every day. Pool is small, but very adequate and you're never without a sun lounger...

Beautiful and unique hotel. Quiet atmosphere with the feeling of mindfulness. Lovely and attentive staff with a special touch. Very good service in every way. Good location with a short walk to the town which has nice restaurants. Our dream vacation.

My therapist was amalia and she was 1st class!. The difference from entering the spa to departing was a feeling of great relief. The entire experience was amazing

Simply beautiful. Just don’t want to leave just stay a place where all today’s troubles seem a million miles away . What do am I loving about this property… It’s simple elegance clean crisp yet set more like a traditional village than a hotel. The space beautiful grounds established shrubs so well kept. The sea crystal clear fresh so much space when you look out you feel you are on a private island...

We had lovely time we love the architecture the design of the room 25.we just would like to mention that there is no space to hang out clothes.and a more comfortable chair will be nice.overall the staff is perfect,smiling all the time giving their best.the art pieces are also interesting.

We’ve just got back from a family holiday here. I took my parents, my wife and our 8 month old son and the hotel is simply amazing. The grounds are superb and so picturesque! To walk around, it’s one of the best I’ve seen. We had a few issues with our rooms at check but Maria sorted this within minutes and did it all with a smile and made us feel at home straight away. We would absolutely come back...

We are luxury world travelers with top hotel status in Marriott and other luxury hotel chains. This hotel stands above the rest. From the friendly service. Atmosphere, rooms, delicious food etc. This resort has it all . Can simply stay inside the resort as a quiet waterfront destination or there is a wonderful town a short walk away.

Very nice hotel with good service and friendly people

Very good!! Great location, perfect hostess !!!

Friendly, cozy, homey environment, with professional care and service, overviewing the bay, and close to the center, via a picturesque walk by the harbor. Facilities to prepare your own breakfast, provided in every apartment. Genuine Cretan hospitality!

Very friendly and nice place; the room was cozy and very clean. Location was close to the center which was convenient as well

I definitely can recommend this hotel! Warm welcome and care during all our holiday! Special thanks to Stavros, he is on duty 24/7 and always ready to help!

Delighted to return to the Victoria, a really super holiday made special by Stavros & Victoria.

We have been coming to the Victoria for years . Stavros and Victoria are really lovely people the hotel is spotless the view from the balcony is spectacular.We have missed the oadt two years and are very much looking forward to being back in our second home

Great hotel! If you're not too pretentious, the value is exceptional. The hosts are friendly and the cleaning standards are high (daily cleaning). This was very important for us (especially during this times). 5/5, will come again.

Beautiful hotel, rooms are cleaned every day, very nice and comfortable place to stay for holidays. Beach is close as well as the center of the town (10min. walk).Beautiful experience, i recommend it.

Highly recommend this hotel in Agios Nikolaos. Very close to a beach, but away from the hustle and bustle. Really helpful and friendly service from the staff too!

Thank you Yannis, really enjoyed my stay here. A great cheap option in Agios Nikolaos. Good location with sea views and just a short walk to the centre.

Had a really nice two weeks here. The groundskeeper Yiannis is a really sweet guy also.

Nice low budget basic hotel, 5' walk from downtown. Host was super friendly, Wi-Fi worked well although premises would require renovation. Only downside the extra charge of €7/night for using A/C, which was not included on booking platforms. Good value for money overall (paid 30e/night)

Amazing room comfy bed and pillow, beautiful view from our balcony. We were given mugs, cutlery, coffee filters everything we needed. The pool was green and you was not able to swim in it. One cat and one dog!

Simple, clean accomodation, very reasonably priced. Nice little plunge pool is a bonus when hot. Good location for Amoudra Beach and the friendly owners also have an excellent taverna fairly nearby. It is a 10 minute steep walk downhill into town (which if you have mobility issues could be a problem). The beach is also down very steep steps. Not a problem if you're fit but be aware. We had a double...

Well appointed apartment very close to the beach and fantastic eateries.Perfect for couples and older families.Small pool that didn't get too crowded or loud.The room was cleaned most days fresh bedding and linen every few days.We would highly recommend the accomodation.The hostess even left us a lovely message and small gift as we checked out perfect holiday.Onle small issue was that the shower had...

We found parking easily on the street outside the apartment building. Fotini answered the buzzer herself and showed us to our apartment. It was spotlessly clean and newly renovated. The kitchen was equipped with a 2 x ring hob, mini oven, pots and pans, fridge, etc. The washing machine and clothes drying rack were especially welcome. Fotini had very generously left basic kitchen supplies for us...

Lovely hotel, super location on the beach short walk to centre (lake) 5 mins only, supermaket outside, reasonable spa, lovely room nice decor, amazing amaneiteis - Cool Clarins bottle red color, breakfast restaruarant on 5/F overlooking the sea, infinty pool all great

Nice hotel. Very odd for 5* place to have to pay a deposit! Don't they trust their guests? Excellent breakfast.

I’m not your normal busybody who leaves reviews for anything I am however exceptionally fussy and this by far is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in having visited many hundreds of hotels over the last 40 years the room the staff the food everything was superb and the location is fantastic

It was a wonderful place with sea view all the time! The breakfast and the dinner were great!

Lovely location, just minutes walk from the centre, where lovely restaurants and bars.

Wonderful stay! Not far from the city center, the pools are nice and the staffs are friendly. Breakfast was so good and they even have live musician playing for dinner. Amazing, would definitely recommend to others! Bus station is just ten minutes away from the hotel. Very easy to get here from Agios Nikolaos station. The bus costs only 7.8€ from Héraklion city. Loved every single second of my stay

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...

Nice location near old town 5 min walk, great view , and a fin spot to start your walk thru Kom Kapi headed for old Chania

Clean , close to the port, amazing view and worth the money. The staff are great!

It was perfect for the one night that I stayed. Everything was super clean and the staff was really nice, plus the location was ideal. The view was amazing, I spent hours just sitting at the balcony looking at the sea. It's a great option especially if you're low in budget, you won't be disappointed. Big vfm.

We stayed as a family of 4 excelent location family business if you make an effort they will make it worth it, clean tidy room every day we stayed twice in a month of traveling around island walking distance to dinner many choices, yes parking is a challenge but that is the case in most of these types of towns in the greek islands, its part of the deal, 🍻

It is okay if you only need a place to sleep. The location is really good, except that it is difficult to find a parking spot. Also you have to go up some stairs to get to the hotel and then again to get to your room. The hotel is run from a supermarket downstairs and there is no real reception. The supermarket itself is quite big, but prices are a bit high. The double room we got was basic and...

We had a great stay at Mistral Bay Hotel. The hotel is very clean, the beach is just a few steps away, and the food is really delicious. The location is perfect for exploring Agios Nikolaos. The staff is kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. It was especially touching to feel their support for Ukrainians during these difficult times. Highly recommended!

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is excellent — close to everything you need. The food was delicious with lots of great options. I’m sure anyone who stays here will have an amazing experience! Our stay at Mistral Bay was fantastic, and we are especially grateful for the kindness and support we felt as Ukrainians. The administrator and the entire team made us feel truly welcome...

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was cozy. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly. The food was delicious.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, always making sure we felt comfortable. The beach is very close, just a short walk away, which made everything even more relaxing. The rooms were clean, cozy, and well-maintained. I truly enjoyed every moment and I highly recommend this hotel to everyone looking for a great vacation!

The staff were remarkably pleasant. There were always delicious food and fresh-clean room. I’m really excited of this experience!

The pool area was just perfect! Whether we wanted to take a refreshing swim or lounge with a cocktail in hand, it offered the ideal balance of relaxation and fun. The staff at the poolside bar made the experience even better with their great drinks and friendly service!

I love this hotel. Easy to check in and out. Nice staff. We stayed once in a simple room and once in a studio. Both were great. The studio is great for a longer stay. Feels like an apartment with lots of storage, desks, table, big kitchen. Clean and close to the city centre, just a walk away. Will go there again.

Good location, close enough to the bus station and to the port. Beaches/swimming spots were located 5 min walk away. Room was clean and good enough for two nights. Bed was slightly uncomfortable, but it was a good budget option.

Very pleasant place for our 3-week stay (two years ago it was 2 weeks). Above all, very friendly family running a cozy hotel very near the lake in the center of A. Nikolaos. We hope to come again! 🌞

The hotel has a lovely bar with great service. From the minute I arrived they really took care of me - bar lady bringing me a drink upstairs as she noticed I was hot and bothered. Nice touch! Receptionist lent me a charger for my phone overnight. Other bar lady got me towel for the beach. Chamber maid got me more milk. Nothing was too much trouble at all. Highly recommend. Staff are an asset to the...

Casa Porto is a must. Having been travelling to Agios for over 30 years it was the perfect place to stay as a couple. We had a room with a balcony and sea view which was ideal to wake up to and also to have a coffee in the evening with the sunset before heading out into town. Location is ideal as you are within walking distance to all beaches, shops and restaurants. We opted to have breakfast included...

We stayed in this Hotel for two weeks, from the moment we arrived the staff could not be more helpful and kind. For me they make this Hotel what it is....a real gem! The hotel is stylish, clean, comfortable, the breakfast is amazing and real value for money. You couldn't get a better location, and the views are amazing. Give this place a try you won't be disappointed. Thank you for making our holiday...

Excellent hotel. Breakfasts are good. The views are super. The only thing is that there is no parking. But there is a free one nearby on the mountain or near the port.

Wonderful hotel Excellent service and well maintained hotel. Spacious room with all amenities needed. We can totally recommend staying here.

Great little boutique hotel in a prime location. Everything on your doorstep, shops, restaurants and beaches. Smooth and easy welcoming check-in. Wonderful top floor room with stunning views. All staff very friendly and helpful, couldn't fault anything. Would recommend

The hotel was just as on website, our room was very tastefully decorated and we had a spacious balcony with an amazing view of the sea. Location was ideal and staff were super helpful and friendly.

Room exceeded my expectations, the view was stunning. The staff were amazing and being a single traveller they made me feel at ease and extremely comfortable. It was the best holiday I had ever had.

Charming hotel, super helpful owner and staff, a great stay. Had the best night sleep away from my husband and kids in the honeymoon suite! Local food recommendations were great and the location is perfect for walking around to everything in the area.

We stayed in this lovely independent hotel for 10 night in September. The town is beautiful, and the hotel had a comfortable suite with good facilities and was perfectly located by the lake. It is a fairly basic hotel in that it has no restaurant and the rooms are also quite basic, but the staff were lovely and we wanted for nothing. A special mention for the concierge, Angel, who went out of his...

I stayed at this wonderful hotel for 7 nights. the cleanliness was perfect and the staff very friendly. the position of the hotel is perfect, you can see the harbor from the hotel room. although I had emotions with the noise, the windows insulate well and nothing can be heard from outside.

Super location right on the water, and right near shopping, and the men at reception were both helpful and kind… However, our room had no view of ANYTHING even though we were right next to the water.💧 The room had a few problems: as a three-person suite it was just a regular room with a cot added. It was very tight for the three of us, The toilet 🚽 never worked properly throughout our stay. We had...
