Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark ★★★★
"We had a good holiday overall and made some lovely family memories, but I don’t think this hotel quite lives up to its 4-star rating, particularly when compared with other 4-star all-inclusive resorts we’ve stayed at. To start with the positives, we really appreciated the hotel moving us to a different room after we raised our concerns. The management listened and did what they could to improve our stay, and we’re genuinely grateful for that. Our original apartment was very dated, with old dark furniture, a tired-looking bathroom, poor Wi-Fi and no air conditioning in the lounge where our family member was sleeping. It didn’t match the impression we’d been given online and was a disappointing start to the holiday. The food was always perfectly edible, and we never struggled to find something to eat, but the selection was quite basic and repetitive. We’ve stayed at several other all-inclusive hotels where there was much more variety, particularly at dinner, and a greater choice of fresh dishes. One thing we also noticed was the lack of service in the restaurant. We appreciate that buffet restaurants work differently to table service, but at other all-inclusive resorts we’ve at least been greeted on arrival, shown to a table or welcomed with a simple “good morning”. Here, it often felt like you simply walked in, found your own table and that was it. The staff worked hard, but the overall atmosphere felt less welcoming than we’d expected. The entertainment was a bit mixed. The Greek dancing night was excellent and one of the highlights of the holiday, and the aqua gym sessions were great fun too. However, outside of those, there often wasn’t much happening around the pool during the day. We would have liked to see more organised activities and entertainment for both adults and children, as there were long periods where very little was going on. Some evening entertainment also felt a little overhyped compared with what was actually provided. That said, the resort itself has some positives. The pools are nice, the views are beautiful, and the location is great for visiting Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. Overall, I’d describe the hotel as perfectly fine rather than exceptional. We enjoyed our holiday, but if you’re expecting the standard of a typical 4-star all-inclusive resort, you may find it falls a little short in terms of accommodation, food variety, cleanliness, atmosphere and overall attention to detail. With some investment and improvements, it could be a much stronger hotel."
Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass ★★★★★
"My wife and I just returned from a 7night stay, and we loved it. The people working here, all the people, clearly understand that you get the basics right - and you work hard at that for sure - but then it's the little things that lift a hotel up to the next level. For example, we were arriving late and they had thought to have some nice fresh snacks in the fridge and a bottle of wine to welcome us. There is clearly a lot of work going on from housekeeping, to the care of the facilities, but it feels unobtrusive. I can't speak highly enough, and I do hope that we get the chance to stay here again."
Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only ★★★★★
"Extremely hospitable and helpful staff. The hotel equipment is completely new. The main restaurant has a very beautiful terrace overlooking the sea that offers a rich buffet, very good breakfast and dinner. Very beautiful view of the sea and the island of Spinalonga. Modern decoration, lots of storage space, very comfortable bedding. I highly recommend it !!!"
Elounda Garden Suites Heated Pool ★★★★
"What a find, absolutely love this hotel has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Room spacious and clean, excellent air con, lovely pool area and all within a few minutes walk of shops, restaurants, harbour and beach. The staff are exceptional always smiling and ready to help. Loved it so much we booked again for next year while we were there. Thanks to all at Elounda Garden for a memorable holiday."
Elounda Sunrise Apartments ★★★
"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"

Elounda Bay Palace, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World ★★★★★
"always the best time here, staff are wonderful and friendly, food is amazing and the overall experience is just the best. always recommend this hotel, and the surrounding area. cannot wait to come back next year"
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."
Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort, Six Senses Spa ★★★★★
"The concierge and reception is useless and clueless. I ask them to help me with something, and they delegate my problems to another service, who does the exact same. TERRIBLE COMMUNICATION. Waste of time and money. DO NOT recommend. Awful experience. I will NEVER be coming back again."

Domes Aulus Elounda Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton
"We spent two weeks at Domes Aulūs Elounda Resort for our honeymoon, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing stay. From the moment we arrived, everything was beautiful, relaxing and made our honeymoon feel so special. The hotel itself was absolutely immaculate. Everywhere you went was beautifully maintained and incredibly clean, from the rooms and restaurants to the pool areas and surrounding grounds. You could tell that a huge amount of effort goes into keeping the whole resort looking its best. We paid extra for Cool Living and booked one of the Whirlpool Rooms, and we would 100% recommend looking into both options if you’re considering staying here. They really did make our stay even more incredible. The extra benefits, service and having our own whirlpool made the experience feel that little bit more luxurious and special. We were also really impressed with how quiet and peaceful the resort was. We couldn’t hear a thing from the other rooms or from any of the evening entertainment, which was honestly perfect for a honeymoon. The only time we could really hear other guests was if they happened to be sitting on their balcony at the same time as us, which is completely understandable. It made our room feel really private and peaceful. One thing to be aware of is that the resort is built into the side of a mountain, so there is a fairly steep hill between the main hotel areas and the lower parts of the resort. Thankfully, there is a transfer service to take you up and down, which was really convenient. All of the drivers were lovely and incredibly pleasant, but Jason deserves a special mention. Jason was absolutely remarkable. His English was amazing, which meant we were able to chat with him and get to know him throughout our stay. He was always so polite, friendly and respectful to every guest, and you could genuinely see how much effort he put into his job. He always went above and beyond and made every journey feel like a little part of the experience. We genuinely really liked him and looked forward to seeing him! The whole resort was absolutely stunning, the staff were wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect for a honeymoon. There was such a lovely balance between feeling luxurious and being able to completely switch off and relax. Two weeks went far too quickly, and we genuinely didn’t want to leave. We would 100% return to Domes Aulūs Elounda and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, luxurious, peaceful and relaxing honeymoon destination. 🤍 Thank you to everyone at Domes Aulūs for making our honeymoon so unforgettable! ✨"
INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda
"Absolutely amazing place;) I spent one week in this adorable hotel with my mother and her friend. We got such a spacious, lovely room with a charming veranda. All around beautiful Greek vegetation and a picturesque tree with pink flowers. It made our day brighter;). Housekeeping ladies keep our room tide up every day. And the facilities employees was always eager to help. We had a slight problem with the lock, but after reporting this the problem had been fix shortly. Swimming pool is situated just right to the dining place and is well preserved. Beautiful cream beach-umbrelass match perfectly to the spektakular view that spreads out over Ellounda bay."

Elounda Eleon Villas
"We had a fabulous week staying here. Beautifully quiet and private. We were met by Elias on arrival, and shown round the villa. We really appreciated the tray of cakes and biscuits, as well as the stocked fridge of water, wine and soft drinks. Although it was too cool to enjoy the pool, it was lovely sitting outside next to it. The villa itself was almost perfect. I say almost, as there were a few areas that needed tidying up and the shower being over the bath was a little difficult to get into. (Being a couple over 60) We would definitely stay here again."
Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa
"We can't begin to say how nice of stay we had at Elounda Peninsula. Everything from the welcoming when we first arrived, to our great room, the service, cleanliness, and just overall friendliness of the staff. Maria our housekeeping service was excellent, and provided everything we needed from special pillows, to extra blanket, and bath accessories. The front desk staff (and I did not catch everyone's names) Natalie, Poppi, Manos, Stavroula, and all the rest, were so helpful and attentive. We stayed in a villa with a pool, and it was clean and the views from our outside lounge area was amazing. Breakfast ala carte was very nice as we are not big fans of buffets. We will definitely be back as we already miss swimming in the beautiful sea!"
Elounda Akti Olous (Adults Only)
"Wow, just wow. Spotless clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfasts you can have sitting next to the beach if you want. Great location. Rooftop pool was lovely, but not many sunbeds. Our room was great with a fridge, balcony and great shower. No hesitation in recommending it. We'll definitely go back."
Aristea Hotel
"Too bad about the bedding so hard but for the price, very clean hotel and close to everything"
Naiades Village Elounda
Elounda George Studios
"I recently spent a week in one of these studios. It was very clean and well equipped. It had great, fast WiFi, and the bed was super comfortable too! I was very pleased with the welcome gifts of fruit and sweets. The owner, Eleni was great at communicating and letting me know about entry as I had a very late arrival time, and it was lovely to meet her a couple of days after my arrival. The location of the studios was great, close to the seafront and village centre, with shops and cafes nearby. It was great value for money accommodation, which I would recommend."
Elounda Olea Villas and Apartments
"An amazing choice for every type of traveler! Upon our arrival we had a warm welcome from the owner and a very thoughtful basket with goodies for our stay. The villas are beautiful, the beds have lovely mattresses and there is a swimming pool to relax if you choose not to visit a beach for the day. Angeliki greeted us with lots of info on the area and suggestions for tours and meals. A home away from home with a touch of luxury."
Petra Elounda Suites - Adults Only
"Beautifully designed apartment in a wonderful location. Lots of thought went into the design of this place. Great location too. Waking up to the sun rising over the island with the waves lapping was magical!"

"On the slope of a hill overlooking the islet of Kolokytha and the bay of alikes are 8 beautiful maisonettes in an amphitheater layout. Fully equipped both in the kitchen and in the other areas.
