Our room led straight out to the smaller pool and it was idyllic.

Plenty of space for our clothes too. My only complaint really was that the shower was far too small and I didn't like the shower curtain. I am an average size person and even I found it difficult to shower without flooding the floor. But that was a minor inconvenience. The staff were lovely and...

Top Vathi 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 Palm Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay, lovely staff, great breakfast buffet, great location and easy walk in to town or a quick cab. Very relaxing stay in beautiful grounds. Views from our room across the bay were amazing. Will definitely return."

Enorme Ammos Beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Nice beach location and close to bars and restaurants. Excellent front desk crew. Buffet was good and outdoor bar area was chill. Small rooms with nice balconies and view. More pool chairs and umbrella would be nice as they all get towels thrown down to be held and people don’t come back for hours, my only complaint. Plenty of beach chairs."

Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The most impressive was quality of food in buffet and the 3 restaurants. It's also perfect for families with kids. Cleaning was good, but missed some spots occasionally. The rooms are descent sized, comfy beds, bathroom was a bit small, but not a problem. What made stay great was that it was such a compact resort, but somehow they have "hidden the rooms" so it doesn't feel crowded. Beach is great, with plenty of chairs, pools the same. Amazing place for kids, as they kept meeting new friends, and parents could relax with a good overview pools and beach areas. Kids club had good opening hours and nice staff. Some staff members were excellent, some average, but they were all helpful with the kids. Food was beyond expectations. Top ingredients cooked very well. Exceptional value for money. What could be improved- Though most food was included, a couple of dishes needed extra payment. No roomservice was included in the Effortless package, but the ice cream shop was. There were 2 Wine lists, Effortless (all inc) + regular. The regular was available everywhere, the full effortless only in restaurants. In Bars only 3 wines, but all drinks included. Wine selection on effortless wine list could be improved, but a couple of good wines so no issues. Did not like shampoo and shower gel at all. Overall, for what we paid, we feel we received great value, our kid met so many new friends it was a great vacation for all. Will definitely be back."

Daios Cove

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best resorts in Crete. The location and private beach are absolutely stunning. The resort offers excellent facilities, and there’s also plenty to explore in the surrounding area. This was my second stay at Daios Cove, and once again, it didn’t disappoint. I already can’t wait to go back!"

Anastasia Hotel Stalis by GHH

8/10 Good

"A solid stay for the price and we'd happily return. We arrived late due to a flight delay and messaged ahead to let them know, only to be told not to worry at all as reception is staffed 24/7, arrive whenever you arrive. The room was spotlessly clean throughout, as were the pools, which we noticed being cleaned every morning. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice and everything tasted nice. We didn't make use of the evening entertainment ourselves, but others did. The location was a real strength, quiet enough to get some sleep but a five minute walk or less to restaurants, the beach and shops. We had a hire car and never once struggled to find parking at the hotel. Two small criticisms, more observations than complaints. Housekeeping tended to knock around 8.30am each morning and there was no door hanger option to signal "do not disturb". With a young child and family members still asleep most mornings, we had to turn them away a few times, though I'm sure they'd come back later if we asked. The main point is that if we didn't answer the door they would have come in to clean, thinking we were out. We also found the beds on the firmer/less comfortable side. Other than that, Staff throughout were friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and the location couldn't be better for the price, so would recommend."

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!"
