“Great location for walking to Elounda village, superb service with an ocean bay to swim !”
This hotel is located in an excellent position near Elounda village - very walkable - and also the short ferry ride to Spinalonga. There is a convenient sheltered pebbly beach and a lovely pool. Breakfast was also very good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The room was super clean. We ate at the restaurant one evening and it was excellent, lovely for a special occasion .

“One night buy very enjoyable.”
It has its own parking, a great advantage in Elouna. Also its own sunbeds right across the road next their beach restaurant. A nice short walk into town passing some good restaurants and shops on the front.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! They upgraded our room, and we had an amazing sea view. The location of the hotel is perfect — right by the sea and in a very central area. The hotel restaurant is also located directly on the beach, with a beautiful view of the island and the sea. The atmosphere was relaxing and special. There is free parking, which was very convenient for us. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful during our stay. The breakfast was excellent, rich, fresh, and very diverse. Highly recommended — we will definitely come back again!
