Outdoor seating was adequate. Views to the sea are pleasant. We had problems with the aging systems - principally air conditioning. We did not meet our host, Birgit, but she was responsive to WhatsApp texts and sent help for the air conditioning and defective toaster. The kitchen is tight but functional though it is showing it’s age. Daily cleaning was included and was very thorough. To e resort amenities - beach and restaurants, we’re lovely, though we spent much of our time around the pool. The town has many tavernas and markets and all are friendly. ##### Joseph S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew W. 12 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful peaceful holiday The villa was great - all the benefits of being private with its own pool but with the benefits of the nearby hotel facilities, bar and beach. Large bedrooms but small kitchen - but with everything we needed for our stay. ##### Matthew W. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Marmin Bay Boutique & Art Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Royal-Marmin-Bay-Boutique-Art-Hotel-Adults-Only.h11448018.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Castello-Village-Resort.h1709372.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Gulf-Villas.h1046315.Hotel-Information) > > [Vasia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Vasia-Resort-Spa.h1103807.Hotel-Information) > > [Miramare Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Miramare-Resort-Spa.h2759399.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Water-Park-Residence-Hotel.h8728984.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Orama Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Orama-Boutique-Hotel.h18230881.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Of-Elounda.h2497819.Hotel-Information) > > [Candia Park Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Candia-Park-Village.h583319.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Heights - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Heights-Adults-Only.h4281889.Hotel-Information) > > [Ariadne Beach - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Ariadne-Beach.h12829233.Hotel-Information) > > [Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Blue-Palace-Hotel-Elounda.h972986.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Garden Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Garden-Suites.h7761271.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Aulus Elounda All-Inclusive Resort, Curio by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Aulus-Elounda-All-Inclusive.h922558.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Peninsula-All-Suite-Hotel.h10912417.Hotel-Information) > > [INNSiDE by Meliá Elounda](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-INNSiDE-By-Melia-Elounda.h1590440.Hotel-Information) > > [Daios Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Daios-Cove-Luxury-Resort-Villas.h3300418.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Marine Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Blue-Marine-Resort-Spa.h3240427.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Tui-Blue-Elounda-Village-Resort-Spa-By-Aquila.h1119002.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Beach-Resort-Milatos.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [NIKO Seaside Resort MGallery - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Niko-Seaside-Resort-Crete-MGallery.h71986802.Hotel-Information) > > [Mare Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Mare-Olympus-Apartments.h3860435.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritimo Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Maritimo-Beach-Hotel.h2759293.Hotel-Information) > > [Vasia Ormos - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Vasia-Ormos-Adults-Only.h15635990.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Bay Palace, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Bay-Palace.h3235.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Akti Olous - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Akti-Olous-Adults-Only.h1850856.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Palm Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Palm-Hotel.h1457221.Hotel-Information) > > [Zeus Eleva Mirabello Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Crete-Mirabello-Bay.h23655827.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Breeze Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Breeze-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1590643.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-St-Nicolas-Bay-Resort-Hotel-Villas.h517311.Hotel-Information)
