The location was fabulous, sheltered sandy beach with water sports and close proximity to two local towns which both had an excellent choice of restaurants. The staff were all first class throughout the hotel and extremely polite. Our hotel room was perfect with the added benefit of shared pool which seemed private as the other two rooms adjoining us didn’t use. Would definitely return when next in Crete.

“Great hotel for families but not for disabled”
All the staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful and Eleni in the restaurants was outstandingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with vast selection and the quality of the food in the "best" restaurant was excellent although the choice for dessert was poor. The grounds were well-kept and attractive with plenty of sports activities available and the beach was close and clean as were the beach facilities. The hotel were very obliging in providing rooms near to one another and allowing us late check-out.

“Wonderful stay in a top class resort hotel.”
Very peaceful hotel and managed to a high standard. The quality of the rooms and public areas, including gardens and grounds, was very high. A good range of restaurants and an excellent breakfast. The staff were all lovely to deal with and added a friendly aspect to the stay. We were also able to obtain a late check out in the same room which was very helpful and gave us some added quality time at the hotel.

“Lovely resort with great beach and facilities. 25 minute walk to Elounda. We’ll return.”
The beach is really nice with plenty of sun beds and full drinks and food service at sun beds or in nearby cafe/bar. Views were great from our room, beach and most areas. Our room was lovely and spacious with a huge bathroom and comfortable sitting area and balcony. Breakfast was huge buffet with great choices and there were also pancake and egg chefs. It’s a 25 minute walk to the village of Elounda which has lots of restaurants. Staff were friendly.

“Had the most wonderful and unforgettable stay at Elounda Beach Hotel”
We spent five wonderful and unforgettable days at the Elounda beach hotel. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by extremely warm and personable reception and concierge staff. The hotel has amazing landscaping and it feels like you are staying on a private island in your own world. Elounda beach has THE best location on the mirabello bay with the best views of the bay on either side of the hotel. The hotel beaches were one of the biggest attractions for us and they did not disappoint. They have 2 beaches (1 large and 1 small). We loved the small beach which was almost felt like our private beach. The water was great and refreshing and service was excellent. The rooms have amazing views and are very well equipped The hotel has 4 excellent restaurants on the property with excellent quality food and a wide variety and we never felt the need to go anywhere outside for our meals. The restaurant staff was very accommodating with tables with excellent view and great service. There was a special 3 hour Greek BBQ and song and dance night that was one of the highlights for our stay. The veghera bar which is almost in its own rock island and shaped like a ship was favorite place for drinks and cocktails. Overall the staff of the hotel is amazing and super professional and accommodating. They set very high standards and always aim to satisfy their guests Thank you to the Elounda beach staff for making our stay a memorable one.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, location, cleanliness, service, beautiful setting, the food in the restaurants is very good, my only issue is that the wine list is prices are very high for my taste, I like wine but the cheapest was around €60.00 through to €7000.00 too rich for my taste. Alex R

the hotel area is wonderfull. The organization of the Easter celebration was on a high level. The breakfast is very various and delicious. But the breakfast box (in case of early departure) disappointed me. The hotel managment should review the possibility to add hot meal in the box as the package is allowed to do it and the hotel level gives an expectation of such care. But it's just a recommendation. Despite of that our stay was amazing.

“Mediocre. More than ready to leave after a week.”
The breakfast was a disaster. There is one person in charge who is wonderful but he cannot possibly deal with all those guests. He has untrained, useless staff who offer no service at all! One coffee machine for the breakfast room! It took forever to order let alone receive your coffee. The lady who did the eggs was the best person plus the Maitre everyone else needs to be trained. It is an insult to call this place a Leading Hotel of the world Hotel. It is not.
