★★★★★ 9.3 (68 reviews)

"About a week ago we stayed at your hotel at Villa Andros, and the experience was simply wonderful in every aspect! The villa itself was wonderful with a stunning view, the service was exceptional, in short, we already want to go back... A special thank you to the amazing Despina from the reception desk who does everything to help, to the charming Isidor who will always take you to the villa with a smile, to the wonderful George who is in charge of the private beach, and of course to the charming hotel manager Danny who we got to know, and to all the other hotel staff whose names we simply can't remember, thank you all so much for a wonderful vacation"

★★★★ 8.9 (45 reviews)

"From the moment we arrived, (late at night !) to the moment we left, we were made to feel welcome and at home. We has an apartment on the second floor with a view over the sea which was gorgeous. The apartment itself was simple but incredibly clean and well equipped, with the cleaners coming daily. Nikos is a wonderful host, and was always happy to give us recommendations and advice. The apartments are a lovely 5 minute walk into the town which is full of great cafes and restaurants, and a 5 minute drive to Kolakitha Beach - a beautiful gem of a beach (although not on a Sunday when all the locals go and it becomes very crowded.) The bar in the hotel is calm and tranquil and all the staff go out of their way to look after you. We were only there for a week, but I would happily return and really hope that we will. "

"Just when you think Elounda Heights cannot possibly get any better - in 2026 it does just that! The same friendly service, customer focus and attention to detail that other hotels can only dream of are still there and make every visit enjoyable and totally relaxing. This year has seen the addition of the new luxury Spinalonga and Mirabello properties. 10 new suites with private pools and beautiful unparalleled views across to Spinalonga and Mirabello. These new properties are a spectacular addition to an already wonderful hotel. Thank you again to Natalia and Kostas and the whole Elounda Heights family (they are much more that a team!). See you again next year :-)"

★★★★ 8.1 (61 reviews)

"What a lovely hotel with such friendly staff, they couldn't do enough for us! We stayed here as we had a family wedding in Elounda, the hotel was in a great location with the sea front just across the road. The rooms were spacious - kingsize bed plus a sofa bed for our 6 year old which was very comfortable. The rooms were cleaned daily and the cleaners were so kind and greeted our daughter every morning. We had Breakfast included, there were lots of options to choose from and the pancakes are a great addition especially for kids. We were given some fantastic local recommendations for places to visit/eat by the staff and nothing was too much trouble- the only thing that i didnt get to do was have a massage treatment because there was issue with the room at the hotel (although they did offer to transport me to a near hotel free of charge in order to have the treatment). The pool is lovely and you get towels given to you to use which is a nice touch, maybe some more loungers would be good as it can get busy with 'all inclusive' guests but we just left our stuff on the side and had a swim. Would definitely stay here again, ευχαριστούμε πολύ!"

"Lovely hotel, great facilities, lovely staff, but when it gets busy quality of service falls off a cliff. Evening food is always lukewarm, breakfast this morning got no tea or coffee, they ran out of sunbeds one day!!! So chose a quiet time it’ll be great. When busy avoid!!!"

"Although it started with a longer journey than we would have liked from the airport, we were met by Yannis at the bar. He welcomed us and took our cases up to the room. The next morning we were treated to a fabulous view of the sea, from Room 35. Overall , the room was clean and comfortable, well looked after and exceeded our expectations. I would have no problem in recommending these apartments, with sufficient sunbeds , very accomodating staff and a very enjoyable holiday. Our grateful thanks to all for their efforts."

"We spent two weeks in Crete on our honeymoon, and one of those weeks was at this hotel. It exceeded all of our expectations by far. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and accommodating. The staff were absolutely fantastic. They even surprised us with a small cake wishing us a wonderful honeymoon. The food was amazing, and the pool area was incredible, with comfortable sun loungers and a relaxing atmosphere. There was also a great gym where you could work out outdoors in the shade. This trip deserves all the stars in the world. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special! ❤️"

Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort, Six Senses Spa

"A very good stay overall in a beautiful, quiet setting right on the water. It's a high-end resort and fairly secluded, which made it relaxing, but keep that in mind if you'd rather be close to restaurants and town. The food was the weak spot. It was fine but not great, and I expected a bit more given the price. Comfortable, well kept, and worth it if you're after quiet luxury and don't mind being a little out of the way."

Domes Aulus Elounda Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

"This hotel was absolutely beautiful, and from the very first day we felt like we had found a truly special place. The food was delicious — every meal felt like dining in a top restaurant, with an amazing variety and incredible quality. What impressed us the most, though, was the staff. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and genuinely caring. And although we definitely were not the easiest guests, the team went above and beyond to make us happy and ensure everything was perfect for us. This trip was incredibly important for our family because we were celebrating our mother’s 50th birthday, and we wanted everything to be absolutely flawless. Thanks to this hotel, it truly was. The atmosphere, the views, the food, and the exceptional service created memories we will cherish forever. I have already recommended this hotel to my friend for her honeymoon, and I would recommend it again without a second thought. This place is truly something special."

Elounda Mare Relais & Châteaux Hotel

"We had our wedding at Elounda Mare Hotel and it was truly the most incredible experience of our lives. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and completely effortless. We stayed for a full week and it honestly felt like home. The staff treated us like family in every possible way, always going above and beyond without hesitation. The hospitality was on another level - genuine, attentive, and full of care. A special thank you to Dimitra, the wedding coordinator, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She made everything seamless, stress-free, and perfect in every detail. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. The breakfast was exceptional every morning, the drinks were beautifully made, and the amenities were outstanding. Every part of the hotel experience reflected quality, comfort, and heart. It truly is the best place I’ve ever been. Perfect wedding, perfect stay, perfect people. We couldn’t have asked for anything more."

"Wonderful relaxing hotel with beautiful beach and a large pool to match. Even when full there is so much space you wouldn’t notice with reserved beach lounges and many other places to be. Every team member strives to give you the best possible stay. Laura from guest experience was brilliant fun and made our second stay here special. A special shout out goes also to Lia and Vassia as they help us book our third stay. Highly recommend."

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa

"This is a very long overdue review and because of the level of service we received, I want to make sure I leave a good review for others to read. The staff at this resort are faultless. Exceptional. We were addressed by name by reception and catering staff and they quite simply couldn't do enough for us. Our sea view suite was on two levels. Living room and an open area with a private pool and upstairs was a large bedroom with balcony, dressing area and huge bathroom. The only negative is that it is very difficult to lug suitcases upstairs because (a) the steps are very highly polished wood and (b) they are sort of spiral. The resort has a gym and indoor pool but private changing rooms are lacking. Because the resort is on a steep hill rooms are on various levels. If someone is disabled they may find it rather difficult although there is a lift. "

"The hotel is very neat, small and cozy. In the center of the beautiful city, but in the hotel itself there is silence and peace. Only one drawback, because air conditioning costs extra..😕 The hotel also does not have its own swimming pool, but there is a beach nearby🏖️"

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass ★★★★★
"We had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday at EGV. We were given an upgrade to a villa that was really spacious and had the most fabulous infinity pool and spectacular views. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, special thanks to the restaurant staff who were very attentive. The selection of food on the breakfast buffet was extensive and beautifully presented. We would have preferred a set menu or a la carte for dinner rather than a buffet, but the food on the buffet was of a high standard, a good selection, well cooked and very flavoursome. The desserts were much the same every day, so some variety would have been good. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and hope to visit again."

Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only ★★★★★
"We stayed here for 4 nights. I had booked a sea view room, but they said it was upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi. While the jacuzzi was nice and relaxing, the sea view was quite limited, which was a bit disappointing. The property is located in a remote and peaceful part of the island. It has excellent internet access and a decent outdoor gym. Since it is right by the sea, you can enjoy walking or running along the coast to the nearest town, Mavrikianon. One important thing to mention is that the property does not have direct access to the sea. To swim, you need to go to either Plaka Beach, which requires a minimum spend of €40 per person to use the sunbeds, or to Mavrikianon Beach, which is much more affordable at €5 per person for the entire day. Mavrikianon Beach is very pleasant and close to markets where you can buy drinks. There are also some good food and drink spots nearby, such as Rudi’s Bar, a British-style pub, and Porto Rino, which serves great pizzas. Make sure to skip Nico’s Fish Tavern and try the Ferryman instead — you won’t regret it. What we found most frustrating was the lack of mosquito screens on the windows. Sleeping with the windows open was not really an option, even though the natural breeze was wonderful. Our room had air conditioning, but we tend to get sick sleeping with it on. There was a ceiling fan as well, but it is a shame to miss out on the fresh air simply because of a missing screen. The breakfast was also a disappointment. There were very few options, the coffee was not good, and the omelettes were overcooked. The most inconvenient part of our stay was the parking system. You have to check in and out with security every time, which felt excessive and time-consuming. It gave the impression of entering a high-security zone, not a relaxing holiday resort. Overall, it was a good experience with some nice features, but for the price, it lacks comfort and convenience in a few key areas. ."

Elounda Heights (Adults Only) ★★★★
"What a truly wonderful experience! I write this review while appreciating the most beautiful view from the pool. Elounda Heights is by far the most friendly welcoming hotel we’ve ever stayed in. It’s run by a lovely family with fabulous staff who go out of their way to make your holiday special and memorable. Amazing home made jams and treats kick off a delicious freshly prepared breakfast served to table. Thank you Cleo for the delicious rice pudding we’ll be back for more of that for sure! Lunch at the pool bar great too especially the Greek Club. Sun beds plentiful surrounding a peaceful and relaxing pool area. We’re staying in a Studio which is large, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It’s a truly special place impeccably run with home from home touches. Beautiful grounds beautiful views and one we will return to, hopefully very soon. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday."

Elounda Orama by Ghh ★★★★
"We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Elounda Orama, we had sea view room in the third block and the view was incredible! Everyone was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay (special thank you to Stavros, Sophia and Costas!). The room was lovely, tidy and cleaned daily. The breakfast and pool bar were also great and the pool bar do a lovely Pina Colada! Only minor complaint would be that there was no wifi throughout our stay due to a fault, they were waiting for a new router which we understand was out of their control, but was a bit costly for us to use our phone data. Otherwise a great stay and would definitely come back!"

"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 and inaccurate and needs serious attention to save it from trades description - €30 deduction for eating in one of their listed restaurants was a joke, as many of the facilities are either closed or in their ‘sister’ hotel therefore not on site, and extremely expensive. Cheapest wine in the buffet restaurant was $38, Spa was out of action and had been closed for a long period. Infinity pool filthy and not fit for use. Love Elounda but would never return to this hotel. Sorry but very disappointing and not worthy of the 5* that Jet2 rates it."

INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda ★★★★
"From start to finish this was an incredible experience. I was a solo traveller and felt incredibly safe. This hotel only opened up in May 2026 and so that is why there are no reviews, I took a gamble after booking a few days before I left and so glad I did. The hotel is a soho house inspired decor with everything brand new and stunning, the staff went above and beyond and nothing was too big or too small, they are exceptionally attentive. The pool area is stunning and quiet and everyone was very respectful. The food was incredible and exceptionally reasonably priced for a 5* hotel. Breakfast buffet was excellent. There is a gold buggy that can take you to the bottom of the road for taxis to Elounda which is a lovely little town for a bit of shopping and dinner - 12 Euros. There is no beach as you are up on the hill but I did walk down to the public inlet with a beach bar and loungers. I also went to Macrame beach club which was great and a 20 min taxi which was 40 Euros each way. I needed 6 days to decompress and I really got it, i had to drag myself out of the hotel as it was so comfortable to sightsee. The reception will call the taxis for you and you have a whatsapp number to message them when you need. Please book this hotel if you are umming and ahing over a few - you will not be disappointed - for context, I have travelled a lot as I was an ex-pat and to be impressed takes a lot! This is also my first ever review! side note: for transfers - I used BEST CRETE TRANSFERS to and from the airport which is just under an hour to the hotel (148Euros) on the advice from other trip advisor reviews"
