Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel with a main buffet restaurant and 3 other bookable a la carte restaurants, plus a snack/cocktail bar over looking the sea. Staff were very helpful & attentive, also asking if we wanted drinks by the pool each day. Our room was very comfortable, had a great sea view & was a good size with loads of hot water for showers. Hotel is not really walkable to Elounda however, in the heat, but you can take the hotel minibus, although this only runs once a day at 9.30am & returns at 2.30pm. Was not keen on using QR codes/hotel app to book restaurants/minibus, as sometimes you want to unplug from technology whilst on holiday. Paper copy restaurant menus were available however if you ask. All in all had a great stay with some fab food particularly in the Mirabelle restaurant overlooking the sea. Movie night was also appreciated complete with pop corn. Another nice touch was the snack provided as we arrived late in the evening, with a choice of homemade soup & sandwiches. Would definitely recommend this hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a suite overlooking the pools & a sea view. It was a really lovely room & very spacious. The shower was lovely & had hot water every day bar one. My only gripe with the room was the foam pads/cushions they expected my daughters to sleep on. The sofa bed was actually a solid piece of wood, beautiful but not comfortable in any way. Maria kindly brought up 2 proper mattresses the next day & all was good after that. The accommodation is very central for Stalis, 10 seconds from the bus stops both ways, & a 5-6 min walk to nearest beach. Supermarket is across the road, 2mins & nearest cocktail bar & amazing Italian restaurant within 3-4mins. The busy road can be hard to cross, take real care but is manageable. Taxi to Malia 10euro or bus is 2.20euro per person."

"The staff were amazing. Always available and happy to help and make our stay comfortable. The hotel was good but basic. The bathroom could be improved, especially the shower. They had 2 very well stocked bars., one in the hotel and one near the pool. They stayed open late and served food as well. The hotel was very well located a short walk from the sea and a 5 min walk into town where there were a number of excellent resustrants and bars."
