We had the best stay at the Eliros Mare. All of the staff were so nice and accommodating. Even though almost all the other guests were German or European, we never felt left out or that our needs couldn’t be met. The rooms are so eco-friendly that the electricity shuts off if you’re not there and/or not moving (great, but not helpful for some medical conditions), but the staff helped us find a workaround. We could hear some footsteps from the rooms above us, but overall a quiet and relaxing resort. Everything was SUPER clean, too. When it comes to food, everything is buffet style- including the dinner at the beach bar you have to book ahead, so just know that for eating if you’re in the all-inclusive. Lots of variety in the food, there will be something for everyone. Nothing beats their beach - surrounded by mountains, super clear water, and the amenities made it so easy to spend almost all our time enjoying it. They really do make sure no one reserves the beach and/or pool chairs, which is so nice. We also had a fantastic day trip to Elafonissi which was easy to arrange through the hotel— totally worth it. The staff also helped us with our airport private transfer to the hotel, and helped us get the bus to our next destination. Thanks for making our first visit to Crete unforgettable!
