Where to stay in Elounda

Excellent! The hotel is fabulous; staff amazing especially Anna Maria, she is the best , tries so hard to make your holiday the best, we love coming here. Breakfast lovely, fantastic view looking over the sea, so relaxing ! Beach lovely, loads of Fish swimming around your feet! Always lots of sunbeds . Town loads of fabulous restaurants looking over the sea, only 10 mins walk from hotel . Will...

We are very happy here. We have been coming already 40 times. People are very friendly and it is just as coming home. We already booked our holidays for 2026

Friendly, helpful staff, very clean, good breakfast and dinner buffet and comfortable beds. Concierge very helpful. Lovely welcome.

On the plus side having booked a classic sea view room we were upgraded to a deluxe room which was sea facing but not with a good view. Lovely room and balcony with table chairs, and sofas. The service staff were amazing - all credit to our housekeeper Joanna, restaurant staff Evangeline and Maria. And the brilliant pianist Christina. However … the Jet2 description of the amenities are misleading...

Elounda Bay Palace & Hotel Review When you choose a five-star hotel, particularly one that promotes itself as luxurious, expectations are naturally very high. Small details you might happily overlook in a four-star property become far more noticeable when you are paying and expecting a five-star experience. Below is my account of our stay at the Elounda Bay Palace. Arrival & First Impressions We...

I have thought hard about the score to give and I think 4 is the correct level based on balancing the Pros and Cons Pros Fantastic location, beautiful beaches with great views whilst sitting on the beach Beach staff - highly attentive, they greet you as you walk to the beach, find a space, help set up the sunbeds and parasols and conduct running repairs ( see the cons) The food quality was very good...

We enjoyed a perfect holiday at Elounda Beach Hotel. You can completely relax here in the beautiful surroundings and experiences excellent food in the restaurants. Elounda, Agios Nikolaos and Spinalonga island are all easily visited if you can pull yourself away from the lovely beach and clear water. This is a special place

We stayed at this resort for 10 nights in mid September and thoroughly enjoyed it - the setting is glorious , the staff are all fantastic and helpful. The slow pace did take some getting used to - until you realise that you you are, in fact totally and utterly relaxed and the resort has embraced you. If you can afford it , upgrade , but the lower tariff apartments we stayed in were still pretty nice...

We were upgraded to Elounda Beach from Elounda Palace as we were told that the Palace was closing on 23 October & our stay was until 26 October. My room had a fantastic sea view so the upgrade was wonderful as my previous room was a Mountain View. Private beaches and lovely pool. The staff were all exceptional. So helpful friendly. The food in the restaurants was also excellent. Only downside- bad...

Unbelievablly friendly staff who looked after us so well. We were upgraded to a far superior bungalow and all that went with it at no extra cost. The only let down was an unfriendly and unhelpful security guard , who wouldnt let me back into the hotel one afternoon. I had to wait 45 minutes before reception finally rescued me. Perhaps he was confusing my 8 bottles of water with contraband Vodka for...

From arrival to departure the service was of the highest level. Room was spacious. Beach and setting amazing. The water so clear. Cocktail bar wonderful at night.

After a long coaching transfer from the airport, we were really looking forward to relaxing week and had high expectations of this hotel. One of the first 5* luxury resorts in Greece, it certainly lived up to our expectations and did not disappoint in any way. Greeted by staff at the steps of the coach, luggage taken care of and we were gently ushered in to the cool reception area for a welcome glass...

A Truly Amazing Stay – Like Paradise! We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this hotel as a family of four from Scotland, and we’re already missing it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the staff, who couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming. Their kindness made a wonderful first impression and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The hotel...

absolutely phenomenal. if i could live in this hotel I would. the beach is stunning, staff is kind and helpful, and the rooms are spacious and clean. the only downside is the beds are not very comfortable, but besides that everything is lovely.

This was our favorite place to stay on our two week trip around Greece. The hotel itself is beautiful and very clean. The room was amazing also and the bathroom was very nice. We enjoyed sitting at the beach and enjoyed the restaurants at night and the breakfast was really good too!

We recently had our wedding at Elounda Porto/ Peninsula, and from start to finish, the whole experience was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable — nothing was ever too much to ask, and the staff were always so accommodating not only to us but also to our wedding guests. Working in the catering industry myself, I had high expectations, but what we received here was truly...

We had a relaxing stay at Port Elounda Resort, a luxuary hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. A special thanks to Anthi at reception, who was incredibly kind, always ready to help with any issue, and did so with a genuine smile. Her assistance made our experience even more enjoyable.

The first day we arrived, we went to the restaurant for lunch. The service was terrible. We waited for over an hour to get our food. Also, I booked two of the same rooms. One room and balcony were much bigger than the other. When I said something to the front desk about it, they just said both rooms were of the same "quality/rank", but that is totally not true. The breakfast could have been...

Location in is amazing set in the hills so the views are incredible, we booked a room with pool, but point to note £60euros per day to heat it, which was a bit disappointing, however the room was large and very comfortable, the bedroom is separated by a partition so there is a lot of lights at night from security lights. The staff are wonderful nothing to much trouble, we stayed half board this...

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...

Great hotel complex. Fabulously clean. Really well maintained with friendly and polite staff. Food areas were immaculate with a good range of food. We were there for the last week of the season so a few amenities were not open. If we had paid full price then we would have been a bit miffed. If you are you going on the water slides use a ring or lilo. The joins on the slides rip you to bits!

What a fabulous week we've had. Just using the free courtesy room to freshen up before the coach trip to the airport then back to the UK. Great food. Great refreshments. Great pools. Amazing staff. I can't fault it.

Amazing hotel and it is very family oriented, the staff were exceptional ( Georgia, Ismail from the hotel , TUI staff ( Louis and Stasha ), plenty of pools and very excellent water slides, the food was delicious and the main restaurant location and view is awesome..

Absolutely beautiful, food is lovely, staff are fabulous. Pools are lovely too.

Excellent staff and great hotel rooms and food but the standard of alcoholic drinks was terrible. Wine was draught and undrinkable and the only red wine was very chilled. Also the spirits were barely alcoholic and the lager tasteless. This is a great shame as the overall standard of hotel and food was excellent. However I don’t expect to buy in my own wine and beer at an all inclusive hotel.

Horsham burdeiny option. A small artificial beach. Sunset in the sea from the pier.

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...

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 are here currently. Celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary. The staff go over and above, always polite and happy. The welcome gift was a pleasant touch and the anniversary cake a nice surprise. We were upgraded on arrival to a sea view room with jacuzzi. Thank you so much. The food is amazing. Can’t wait to try Makris tonight. Perfect in every way!

Superb stay , the staff are hard working and nothing is too much trouble , always pleasant and have time to speak . Rooms are immaculate, well designed and equipped. The grounds are stunning , wonderfully landscaped , with beautiful flowers , herbs and grasses, miles of paths to walk within the site . Beautiful Plaka and Elounda within walking distance . Food is plentiful and offers a wide variety...

This is an amazing hotel with superb staff, food, location and very comfy rooms. Butterfly was our host cleaner. When we arrived late she arranged two swans on the bed made from towels with flower petals across the bed. The kitchen had organised a meal for us with prosecco drinks, chocolates and turkish delight. The staff in the restaurant were so attentive and interesting to talk to. Particularly...

This is an interesting and very popular place, but it's important to understand what it is - and what it isn't. Firstly, the Domes of Elounda is not in Elounda - it's about 3 miles North along the coast from Elounda. An hours walk (tricky after dusk), a 12 euro taxi or a cheap (but irregular) bus ride. It's much nearer Plaka (about a mile away), which we preferred anyway. The footprint of this hotel...

This was our first trip to Greece. We picked Domes because it was very highly rated. It didn't disappoint. To start, the staff gets my highest rating. Extremely friendly and attentive without hovering. Anything we asked for was delivered fast and with a smile. Bravo to the staff! Our room was a free upgrade (we're Titanium). It was a well designed suite with all the amenities. Including a private pool...

Our second time in this amazing resort. I cannot even find the right words to describe the quality standard, the vibes, the hospitality and generosity we had the pleasure to experience here (again!) Besides the whole place being a true luxury oasis the most amazing place the 1 Million stars award goes to the whole team here. We are traveling a lot and no words can do the staffs efforts, their smiles...

Possibly the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in. The facilities and the grounds are exquisite and the staff are above and beyond. The restaurant serves some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten.

The understated elegance that fully takes at advantage of the natural views that come with this location is truly stunning. We truly appreciated the food and the service I this amazing spot. Each experience met every expectation Our room may have been the nicest room we had stayed in as the combination of view and quality of room

This was our first time to this part of Crete and therefore Phaea Blue and we were not disappointed. We were greeted at the door and led into the lobby area where we were checked in and given a complimentary drink before being taken to our room by buggy. We absolutely loved our room (723) from which we could see the island of Spinalonga. The room included a huge bathroom, walk in closet and a good...

It was our second visit this year, and once again we enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing and peaceful holiday. We were pleasantly surprised that the hotel staff recognized us and made us feel as if we were returning to our second home. The restaurants were excellent, very good quality, offering delicious breakfasts with a small buffet and à la carte options , you must try the poached eggs with avocado and...

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...

Although we had a lovely holiday, Phaea blue was not what we expected when we booked a ‘boutique hotel’. It has the feel of a 200 room hotel and upon further research this was the case up until about 12 months ago when it went through a rebrand. The style of the website and awards for small hotel etc in our opinion are very misleading. In general there are many things on site that feel a bit dated...

We have had a lovely 10 days at the Elounda Orama - all the staff are so helpful and welcoming - our room was lovely and spacious and the bed and pillows were excellent which is always a bonus - we had a large balcony with added sunloungers which were a real treat and a lovely view of the sea and Spinalonga in the distance - the dining area had stunning views of Elounda Bay which were a delight when...

The hotel is in a great location to the town and the staff were very friendly. I would not recommend the standard room as it was extremely small and felt claustrophobic, we did try to upgrade the day we got there but they were unfortunately fully booked, as a couple with two suitcases there was no room whatsoever and very limited hanging space so had to leave the suitcases open on the floor and climb...

This is our 2nd visit to Elounda Orama and we had a superior sea view room with stunning views of Elounda Bay. Room was spacious and clean, staff are friendly and accommodating. We stayed bed and breakfast and it consists of plenty of choice...although fruit juices were not fresh, the view whilst eating breakfast is so beautiful that I didn't mind 😅. The position of the hotel couldn't be better...

10/10 experience! I’m hesitant to leave this review because I don’t want to ruin it with too many people but hands down best hotel in Elounda. Everything from food, drinks, staff, stay, VIEWS, pool and finally distance to everything. You can walk everywhere in Elounda (don’t rent a car and don’t organize through hotel — should be $100 ride from Heraklion port/airport). We rented a bike to go over to...

Parking is an issue. The the evening stroll along the waterfront, literally across the street and a few stairs down is one of the best atmosphere spots in Crete.

Amazing boutique hotel with excellent staff trying their best, so you feel special. Great outdoor pool with beds and umbrellas. Delicious and variety of food for both breakfast and dinner. Lovely views from the rooftop bar and the room. Very good location for beach and local restaurants. Highly recommend this small and cozy hotel. Wish my wife and I could stay longer. Thank you to all the staff of...

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at this beautiful hotel we booked here as attending a family wedding nearby , staff couldn’t do enough for you . Couldn’t fault anything about this hotel . Thank you for making our stay a memorable one .

We had a jet 2 week holiday at this lovely hotel. It really is a great find. We had a superior grove room, which was well equipped and spacious but lacking in a view. I think the main building has the better views, but much smaller rooms. As ever it’s a balance. The new sky deck bar and pool is a great addition, the views are incredible. We had B&B which suited us, as there are many restaurants within...

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely week here. Our room was more than adequate for us. Small balcony with a glimpse of Elounda and the sea. The staff are really nice people and can’t do enough for you. Breakfast was ok with all the usual suspects but lacked fresh fruit other than melon. They were mainly canned. Freshly squeezed orange juice was very good. It is well placed to walk along the promenade into...

The hotel was in a great location, right on the (shingle) beach. Our room was a decent size, however the bathroom was tiny with no fan or window therefore there was always a damp and musty smell in it. Also there was no shower curtain so the water went over the sink area every time it was used. As others have mentioned, there weren't enough beds around the pool or on the beach, however this wasn't...

I have visiting this hotel for many years and have been very happy, the staff are very nice and friendly ( especially Poppy in the Sky Bar) . The main problem over the last few years has been the pool area and the sun bed reservations. This year was particularly bad, there are signs regarding this issue saying if beds had towels on them they would be removed if no one appeared after 30 minutes. There...

Lovely hotel....room we had was fairly spacious ( twin room ) very much lacking drawers / storage space . Cleaning staff amazing 👏 bar staff ( Poppy ) lovely + pleasant . Breakfast is what u would get in most hotels . Beautiful scenic Bay at front of hotel. Only gripe ...and this was the same for lots of people we spoke to was lack of sunbeds. 2 people actually came to pool at 9am and took over 6 beds...

I have just returned from a 7 day stay in the Krini hotel. This is a small family run hotel. The rooms are modestly appointed yet well-maintained, featuring a pleasant outdoor area suitable for enjoying refreshments or light snacks. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your needs. I booked half-board , which I would not recommend. The food is basic, but as I later discovered...

3 stars for the friendly staff and the breakfast which is the only meal we had at the hotel. Got to agree with most people. The room/ hotel is tired and dated. It really is in need of a refurbishment. You managed with our week, Always ask yourself would you go back and the answer would be a NO.

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.

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...

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...

From the incredibly warm welcome on arrival to the pristine accommodation, excellent food and stunning views, Elounda Heights always delivers an amazing, relaxing holiday. Natalia, Kostas and all the staff go out of their way to ensure that every guest has a wonderful experience. For us, it is always a perfect holiday and we will be returning yet again in 2026.

I have reviewed Elounda Heights before but felt it worthy of another. It is a very special place with a unique atmosphere run by a small but tight team of 10 people who are all super friendly. You are well looked after, from the moment you arrive, to the time you leave. All the rooms, either studios or apartments, are immaculate with either a terrace or balcony offering uninterrupted views over the...

It's difficult to know where to start with a review when everything is so perfect. This was our 12th visit to Elounda Heights since our first visit in 2017. It is like a second home to us and the owners (Natalia and Kostas) and every single member of staff are like an extended family. The location is perfect with the most stunning views over the bay and of Spinalonga and if you're up early enough...

Elounda Heights ticks all the boxes for us as a couple, a place to relax & chill, set on top of a hill with wonderful views of Elounda bay, Spinalonga is visible at the end of the bay. We stayed in a Studio which was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed for our ten day stay, breakfast was a sheer delight, home made treats, jams and a full menu to choose from to start your day...

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...

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...

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...

Spent two glorious weeks here in October 2025. The hotel is spread across the hillside with inter-connecting walkways. There’s golf buggies that can be summoned via the phone to pick you up and take you to other areas. The staff are all super friendly, and do all they can to make your stay memorable. We stayed half board in a room with a private pool and terrace. I loved the interaction with staff...

I had to write a review for this amazing hotel! I had 5 days here with my grown up daughter. Everything was amazing! If you can, book the pool rooms…what a treat! The gym was well kitted out and not too busy. Breakfast was what you’d expect in an amazing hotel. The staff were all very attentive and looked after our every need and more. We loved walking to plaka and elounda. There are some amazing...

We recently stayed at this hotel as part of a family holiday, in which we shared many of the same observations as others, but our main call out is that our overall impression was hindered, and this very much came down to the moment we checked out. Positives: The views are truly exceptional — among the best we’ve experienced anywhere. Every angle offers a photo-worthy moment, and the hotel’s design...

As soon as we stepped into the hotel, we were swept away by its sophisticated charm. The place feels like a perfect blend of classic luxury and personal touches that make you feel instantly at home. The Versace-inspired interiors are jaw-dropping—every corner is a work of art, from the intricate details to the elegant finishes. And the location? Absolutely unreal. It’s right on Mirabello Bay, first...

Spent a lovely week at the hotel for my birthday. We had a great room with a private pool which was wonderful - the only downside was it was just above the main hotel restaurant which meant there was often cooking smells wafting sound when you were in the pool (mornings). Room was super clean. The staff we so helpful nothing was too much trouble, pretty much every answer started with yes, of course...

Truly a 5 star feel! My wife and I came here on our honeymoon and loved every bit of the hotel. From the accommodating staff, to the relaxing spa, to the fantastic buffet breakfast - it's a must stay for the Elounda/Plaka area. The private beach is truly icing on the cake. Quiet beach with loungers (you can be in the shade if you wish) and super calm/warm waters. I cannot thank Royal Marmin Bay enough...

We had a lovely holiday here in a resort that is small enough to feel that you get to experience the real Greece. The water park keeps the kids happy and happy kids means happy parents! It was a well kept hotel with all the amenities that we needed, we also felt welcomed and looked after throughout our stay. I would recommend this to others.

We had a really great stay at this hotel in Crete. The location is perfect, set in a beautiful area and still close to everything you need. The town is just a short walk away, which made it super easy to wander around, grab dinner, or enjoy a drink without having to think about transport. If you want to explore more of the island, you can also hire a car directly through the hotel. It’s very convenient...

Summer 2025. Was a lovely summer. Our memories are HAPPY memories together with Elounda residence Hotel. The Greek night, karaoke night, disco night… everything for everyone! The food was very good and fresh. You can choose whatever you like , a lot of salads, hot buffet, sweets…. Every evening you can choose to eat at the main restaurant, taverna or to water park. Everything what we need it you can...

We stayed at Elounda Residence Water Park Hotel during October half term and had a great family holiday. The water park was a big hit with the kids and kept them entertained every day. The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable, and the staff were really friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Food had plenty of choice and worked well for both adults and children. October was a perfect time...

I booked this place for the view. When I got there my room had no view. They apologised and upgraded me to a duplex with 2 balconies and 2 amazing views.

We had a brilliant stay here the food was brilliant with a different theme every night the pool was lovely and was always easy to get sunbeds my kids enjoyed the water slides ,mini golf along with the football basketball volleyball and table tennis. Only downside to the pool was the saltwater but we eventually got used to it. The bus to the town was great although the town is within walking distance...

We stayed at Elounda Peninsula in October as a family of three in room 3159, which had a private pool and split level. When we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised because the room was much better in person than in the photos on the hotel’s website. 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,...

Just had a five day stay - truly magical. Hotel is on a secluded cove with private beach, sea view rooms and very short drive to Agios Nikolaos or Elounda towns. It is Greek owned so not a big nameless chain, yet very luxurious with a six senses spa. The staff are friendly and attentive, they helped us celebrate a very special moment with all these sweet touches, and there are numerous food options...

Top-notch hotel. Breakfast restaurant cleverly situated to be out of the wind but have a fantastic sunrise view. Rooms excellent. Pools are luxurious but all salt water so doesn't feel so impactful on the environment. Really nice to float tbh!

We had a wonderful stay and would happily recommend this hotel. The beach was absolutely perfect—calm, relaxing, and picturesque, with soft sand in and out of the water. It was great for both kids and adults, and access to boating activities could not have been easier. Truly the highlight of our trip. The breakfast was excellent, both in quality and presentation, with beautiful views to start the...

We had an amazing stay at Elounda Peninsula this past week! The hotel is in a really gorgeous area that feels set up like a small village. The rooms are so spacious and it had a fantastic view of the water. There's a ton of activities to do both at the hotel and nearby, and so many options for dining (we loved Sumosan, Old Mill, and Greek Opa night). Even the room service was consistently very good...

Incredible experience! This was an amazing property and the service, along with the amenities were great from start to finish! My husband and I went to Elounda on the third leg of our island hopping honeymoon and we most definitely saved the best for last! We were warmly greeted with drinks and snacks upon arrival as well as a bottle of champagne in our room (as well as the traditional honey and nuts...

The rooms here are clean and comfortable, and there is always plenty of room hot water for the shower. We had a sea view room just a few metres from the sea, maybe 12/15m. There are sun loungers if that is your thing, a pool and a gym. The staff are all so helpful and friendly, but special mention about Nikos, he always seems to be delighted by everything! Also the Ginger cat is a lovely little chap...

Elounda Alikes is on the water in the beautiful and quaint town of Elounda. The rooms are above average size with a decent balcony for 2 people. The AC was great as well as the bed. The full bar and restaurant on the property are great and available most of the day and night with friendly and helpful staff. The pool and loungers are comfortable and enjoyable. There are a few restaurants in the same...

This was an amazing holiday and we were made to feel welcome from the day we arrived. The apartment was great and cleaned every day and the location was fantastic. The local restaurants were amazing along with all the local people. Such a peaceful fortnight. It was that good we have booked again for next year.

The views from the apartment are fantastic, the night life is good, plenty of places to eat and have a drink. If you don't want a big meal you can just have a snack at the bar in the hotel complex. The breakfast is very good, scrambled eggs just how I like them

The place gets better every year I come, only downside this year is Olga wasn't here. I had an apartment all to myself I felt like royalty, I know all the staff but it changes each season but some are here year in year out, which I good to see. As I won't be here for a while now, due to family commitments, I'm making the most of the beautiful scenery and the sea

An amazing and relaxing weekend . As me and my wife we make a tour of the east Crete we visited elounda . The hotel is beautiful, large room , fantastic sea view and amazing host . Fantastic pool bar with good cocktails and friendly staff . Thank you alikes . You made our stay a dream .
