“A beautiful relaxing resort with fantastic facilites, make the most of it by exploring all that is on offer.”

This was our second visit to Elounda Bay Palace Hotel and we were so pleased to be back. We could only afford to stay for a couple of nights but you have to see the price as being for a whole experience and not just the cost of the room. The resort is so beautifully maintained and has the monopoly on the lovely sandy beaches in this area around Elounda. The grounds are planted with stunning flowers, palms and cacti etc and come the evening the paths are lit so that the place becomes truly magical. You have access to the facilities of Both EBPH and its sister hotel next door with 4 different beaches to choose from. There are several bars and speciality restaurants (with additional costs) to choose from as well as the main restaurant included in the half board room cost. Our favourite bar was Veghera positioned across a little causeway out over the sea, a stunning place to watch the moon rise at night. There is a little Greek village in the middle of the resort with a charming old chapel, a couple of shops and a Greek taverna where they hold a Greek night buffet with a band and dancing (Tuesdays?). I normally hate this sort of thing at a hotel but this was a class act with a great band and talented dancers. Worth investing in. The staff at the hotel are all so friendly and helpful. I am sure it’s company policy but the staff manage to seem genuine in their cheerfulness. The attention to detail is fantastic. Special thanks to the waitress at Veghera bar. We had a Mountain View room on the 4th floor and the rooms have everything you could want and are extremely comfortable (slippers, robes, coffee maker, proper glassware etc). We were welcomed with a complimentary bottle of wine and fruit bowl. The bed and bedding was divine. I appreciated the many different lighting options but will say the switches became very complicated and could do with labelling or a guide.

“Great value for money!”

We booked this hotel, but upon arrival we were told that we have been upgraded to Elounda Beach - their next-door sister hotel. Our stay there was everything we hoped for and beyond. The room was spacious with a wide balcony. The sandy beach with crystal clear water and perfect temperature. The restaurants with diverse and delicious food, coupled with great service. It was our only stay where we had a half-board but with diner at al a carte restaurants, including fine dining. We will definitely come back!

“A gem of a hotel in which you could well and truly relax”

The quiet and unhurried atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. The beach was clean and well looked after and just a few metres from our room. Finding a lounger and umbrella on the beach was never a problem. Breakfast was a perfect start to the day and Dinner a perfect end. Both were varied and always ample choice and well presented.
