Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass ★★★★★

📍 Mesa Pigadakia, Schisma Elountas, Elounda, Agios Nikolaos

"Elounda is such a luxurious experience. The service is impeccable. The suite was sprawling and so well-equipped. We had our own private gym, sauna and steam room in our villa. The pool and hot tub had an incredible dreamy view. The area was beautiful with a quaint adorable town on the water where we found everyone we spoke to very friendly and helpful. Definitely will return!"

Elounda Alikes Suites & Studios

Elounda Alikes Suites & Studios ★★★★

📍 Alykes Eloundas, Lenika, 72053, Schisma Elountas, Elounda

"We stayed for 3 nights as a ‘relax’ at the end of our holiday in Crete. The staff are wonderful and location was perfect for exploring Elounda. Only negative I would say is the air-con that was temperamental and only in kitchen so bedroom was very hot at night. Plenty of very comfortable loungers infront of the rooms at the front. Pool with swim up was a bonus. Kitchen would be limited if trying to self cater but with so many great restaurants around why would you. Probably the best shower I’ve ever had in a hotel anywhere around the world!"

Elounda Heights (Adults Only) ★★★★

📍 Schisma Eloundas, Elounda

"From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had the most breathtaking sea view. Watching the sunsets from our balcony every evening was pure magic. The room was impeccably cleaned every day, and every detail made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Natalia and Kostas, who are exceptional hosts. Their warmth, kindness, and personal attention to every guest make this place truly special. On my birthday, they surprised me with a bottle of wine and their thoughtful wishes, which made the day even more memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Elounda Heights to anyone visiting Crete. It is a place filled with warmth, hospitality, and beautiful memories. We will definitely be back!"

Elounda Garden Suites Heated Pool ★★★★

📍 Dimokratias, Schisma Elountas, Elounda

"We had a lovely relaxing stay at Elounda Garden Suites. I cannot find anything negative to say about this accommodation. All the staff are very friendly and efficient. We had a warm welcome arriving around 10.30pm. Our suite was comfortable and clean and spacious. The pool area was quiet and relaxing. I particularly like that you cannot place towels and reserve beds. The breakfast and lunch snacks were excellent! The location was perfect. 5 minutes to the centre. Beach also very close. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a holiday in Elounda , Crete. Would definitely stay here again in the future. We got the bus to both neighbouring towns and took two boat trips. One to Spinalonga and the other five hours around peninsular."

"From the moment we arrived , we were greeted by the lovely Kostas . A warm , friendly welcome. He took us to our room that had a lovely spacious balcony with a view of Elounda bay . This hotel has wonderful staff including the amazing, very hardworking Sophia who seems to be everywhere . The Standard rooms are clean , however they are needing an upgrade . The Superior rooms have been done and are beautiful . Nothing can beat the location of this hotel, across the road , down the steps and on to the most beautiful bay ."

📍 6PVH+3Q, Schisma Eloundas, Agios Nikolaos

"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! ❤️"

Elounda Mare Relais & Châteaux Hotel

"The service and location is great. Nice beach and quiet hotel. The food is OK but not more than that. We booked a 2 bedroom suite with pool and were really disappointed, did not look like the pictures at the web at all. Appeared that two of the suites have been upgraded and two are really old. We were eventually moved to the sister hotel Elounda Mare."

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa Hotels in Elounda

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. "

"Just home from an unforgettable week at Elounda Beach Hotel - honestly one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Breakfast was unreal - we were excited for it every morning. The rooms had everything you’d need and the views over Elounda Bay were absolutely stunning. There are four different restaurants at the hotel so we had something new every night - loads of variety and everything we tried was delicious. The town is just a short walk away too - a really cute little fishing village with proper Greek vibes and great food. The beach was a dream. The sunbeds were super comfy and every morning someone came straight over to set up covers, give us fresh towels and a cold bottle of water - such a nice touch. But what really made the trip was the staff. They were honestly amazing - so friendly, helpful, and just lovely to be around. The only small issue we had was the air con in our room not working properly, but as soon as we told them, they had someone up to sort it straight away. Can’t recommend this place enough – already looking forward to next year!"

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass ★★★★★
"We went on a 10 day break - our first holiday with no children since our honeymoon 32 years ago! And what a place to go. From the minute you arrive the welcome is warm from the lovely staff on Reception. We spoke to Maria on arrival, who along with the rest of the front of house staff were excellent. Nothing too much trouble. Little touches with mattered - for example we had one of the ladies who service the room leave some towels on our bed in the shape of a heart with some flowers. Lovely touch. The properties are amazing, beautifully done out, we had a kitchen, fridge, washing machine and fridge freezer, a large sofa, big TV which we logged into our Netflix and Amazon accounts, and a dining room table. Outside a beautiful view - sun beds, and outside dining too. A lovely infinity pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and mini-gym with stunning views. The weather was beautiful, around 25 degrees C and clear blue skies. The only thing I would say is for someone like me with poor circulation the pool was a tad chilly, we plumped for it to be heated the last few days, but it was an extra 90 Euros a day. But worth it. Then there is the breakfast - you won't be disappointed, there is so much choice, English, Continental, Greek plus so much more. Salmon for breakfast every day! And the coffee is amazing, even decaffeinated for me. There was even Prosecco every other day! The staff. First class. Not only in their service, but the way they engage with you and turn eating a meal into an event. Wonderful people, Sofia and her team, I can't name them all, or remember all their names, but Manolis (and his sister!), Vitalis and Michalis, the young guy with them (I forgot your name!) as well as the guy on the bar (sorry forgot your name!) were a credit and a joy to spend time with, all of them. To all of you, thank you for making our holiday even more special! Be prepared on a Thursday night after dinner for some traditional Greek dancing, you have to join in, followed by a jump in the pool fully clothed with Vitalis. He will persuade you! Well, my wife, not me! Σας ευχαριστώ όλους. Neil and Teresa."

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. ."

"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 ★★★★
"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!"

"We like this hotel very much. We love Elounda anyway, and the hotel made our stay even more enjoyable. Lovely welcome, friendly staff (Maria and Filo in the restaurant were especially memorable) and the food and beverages - yes, more on the expensive side of things, but on the flip side, there was absolutely no rowdy / boozy culture here - were what you would expect for a hotel of this standard. The absolute best bit is that it always felt peaceful and quiet for such a large hotel whilst the beach, bathing area and water sports are just great. Looking forward to more stays here."

"I wanted to share my positive experience during a recent stay with my granddaughter Ada.  Yannis was incredibly helpful and friendly upon our arrival. Ada had hurt her thumb, and Yannis was very kind in assisting with that. In fact, we found all the hotel staff to be lovely and always ready to help. We also really appreciated the nice hotel and the good choice of food available at the jungle bar, which was nicely presented. Our room was spotlessly clean and the hotel overall felt very child-friendly. We had a very happy and enjoyable time and would highly recommend your hotel as a great place to stay. I am already planning to return in the future. Belinda"
