Top Elounda Hotel Reviews

INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda

8/10 Good

"Plenty of helpful and friendly staff. The room was cleaned to a high standard and well stocked and organised. The hair dryer and steamer were high quality. The pool area is beautifully decorated. Loungers are limited and fully taken by 1130. The DJ and saxophone artists were excellent. Breakfast buffet has good selection and was fresh and good quality. Coffee machine rather than espresso machine with barista but acceptable. The Al a carte restaurant was disappointing. The service was fine but the food was very basic and Salty."

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"It was very beautiful. The staff were wonderful and respectful. Location is great especially if you have a renter car. We were 10 minutes from lovely waterfront restaurants and the center of town. It is a quiet town. It’s lighted up at night time. We will definitely be back."

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

8/10 Good

"Nice pool and rooms have really great views. Rooms are clean but a little dated and some areas need some upgrades. Staff were ok."

Elounda Bay Palace, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent

"Overall Good. Food choices could be better and also kids food options very limited."

Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort

8/10 Good

"Inconsistent staff experience, on first day staff was spontaneous to provide beach towels them following days needed to find people to get those towels. Breakfast a little bit too crowded and noisy with limited selection. Over priced dinner buffet option to avoid. Italian restaurant on premise had great food but again service was not at level"

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is outstanding. Everybody is nice and you feel a wish to « go the extra mile ». You want something they don’t have, the find a way. Absolutely no waiting time with the buggies as the staff are so numerous. We had such a lovely time. The resort is indeed kid friendly however the « adult zones » create a bit of a weird feeling and there are not a lot of animation like some resort. You don’t go there for the animation, you go there for the extreme serenity provided by the beauty of the place. Tips: ask for a buggy tour around the hotel. You should see everything, views are outstanding!"

Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at the Phaea Blue hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in virtually new condition. Food was excellent and the private beach, though pebbles (not sand) is very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to return."
