Domes Aulus Elounda Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel in Elounda

My daughter and I visit Greece every year for a week in the sun and complete relaxation. We really did strike lucky this year! The hotel was exceptional and the service outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. For the first time also we enjoyed the all inclusive food and the a la carte restaurants were also very good. I would recommend splashing out and staying in the Cool Living area. We were in block 800 and the views were amazing. The only small moan would be that sunbed wars were in full force and no matter how early we got up, the beds in the Cool Living area in the sun were already reserved. Luckily we loved the beach and so spent most of our time there. Also a shout out for the spa staff. Fantastic facial and massage. Elounda centre is an easy scenic walk but not a lot there except for food and souvenir shops but worth a look. We didn’t take the Spinalonga boat trip but you can just turn up in town and buy a ticket. The boats run every 30mins or so. You do have to pay €20 per person to actually explore the island. We would return to the Domes Aulus in a heartbeat.

Amazing holiday! We are so satisfied with our stay at Domes Aulus! It was an unforgettable holiday with warm people and the best Greek hospitality! We will be back! Thank you! It was the best honeymoon ever!!!!

I recently stayed at Domes Aulus Elounda and had a wonderful experience. The view from the resort is absolutely breathtaking waking up every morning to that scenery was unforgettable. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and always willing to help with a smile. Their warm hospitality truly made our stay special. Overall, a fantastic place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Crete. Highly recommended!

Just came back from Domes Aulus Elounda and had a fantastic time. The cocktails were excellent – special mention to Alexandros, whose drinks stood out every time. You could tell he put extra care and effort into each cocktail, and the quality was easily on par with top London bars. My favourite was definitely the Negroni – perfectly balanced and beautifully made. The food was also very impressive, even at the buffet, which maintained a consistently high standard throughout our stay. We had access to Cool Living, which offered stunning views and an elevated experience. That said, the standard areas were also great and more than enjoyable. Overall, a brilliant trip with exceptional service, high-quality food and drinks, and an amazing setting. Would definitely recommend and return!

We upgraded to Cool Living Zen Suite with private outdoor jacuzzi Room was beautiful with the most stunning view. No warm water for jacuzzi but in all honesty if using in the day you won’t want extra heat anyway! I would have liked the option of room service and free mini bar refills given 5 star, but it certainly wouldn’t deter me from booking The rooftop cool living pool, bar and restaurant is 100% worth the upgrade and feels night and day from the standard pool area. I do have one BIG criticism. They do not police the guests attending the area AT ALL! We paid extra to access this area, yet getting beds was so difficult because they allowed all hotel guests to use it. They really really need to fix this. There is a lifeguard on duty who has very little to do, seems to me they could get this person to ask for room numbers or to see key (as cool living have different key) at no extra staffing cost. So easy to fix and all cool living guests complained of this. Food was good. Not ‘blow me away’ good but good enough and met my expectations. We had a big birthday whilst there and they were brilliant and making it special. We had a personalised birthday cake, a great table and the band sang happy birthday. We booked a half day semi private catamaran through the concierge and it was absolutely fantastic. The concierge are great and arranged all our restaurants too. The location was amazing! Highly recommend visiting Plaka, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. A trip to Spinalonga is a must. Also, do take advantage of the hotels free shuttle to Agios! Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. I just think they need to fix the issue with allowing none paying guests in the cool living area.

Amazing hotel with the most wonderfull views. The staff couldnt be more friendly anything you asked for they did their best to sort it for you. They even went the extra mile when our transfer refused to wait when the could t come up to reception to collect us and left us in the lurch (boy thats going to be a different review) they arranged and paid for a taxi to take us the 75km or so to the airport at no expense to ourselves. Rooms were neat and tidy transport up and down the hill was regular and easy and the food was all nice. Cannot praise this hotel enough and we look forward to coming back

We arrived 17/06/2025 to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary. We had been speaking on email with Elini who was very helpful and reassuring. I was very anxious after reading dome reviews but we didn't have to worry. Upon arrival we were given welcome drinks and told to take a seat. Check in was very quick. We were given a complimentary room upgrade. Our whole trip was fabulous. From the amazing food, the delicious cocktails, the attentive staff, we had the best time. We never had an issue getting a sunbed. We were in block 7 so did have the benefit of cool living which was worth it in my opinion. The buffet lunch in cool living was superb. We would like to mention George the hotel manager who was welcoming and so hospitable he even had champagne dropped to our room. George who drives the golf buggies and vehicles was our absolute favourite, so kind and happy all the time. I do understand some peoples concerns regarding the steep hills to the rooms but we always called reception and got picked up within a few minutes, its so well organised so don't let that put you off! Plus you will get to meet George! We will be back next year! Well done to all the staff!

A wonderful stay in a cascading hotel for adults only. Varied meals in several restaurants will certainly satisfy the most demanding palates. The view from the window to the sea gives peace and relaxation. I definitely recommend this hotel, the staff knows what it takes to ensure peace. The rooms are well-equipped and cleaned daily. I will gladly return here someday.

We spent our honeymoon at Domes Aulus Elounda and absolutely loved it. Huge thanks to George, the Operations Manager. Back in January, when we made our booking, we sent a bunch of questions and George personally replied to every email, patiently guiding us through everything and helping us feel confident about our choice. When we finally arrived, he welcomed us in person, remembered our conversation, and made us feel instantly recognized as Hilton members. The room upgrade was a wonderful surprise, and his warm, personal approach made all the difference. The view from our room was stunning, and the food at Greko Levante and Vatanne was honestly some of the best we had in Greece. This place has heart not just beautiful views and great food, but real people who make you feel at home. We’ll definitely be back!
