INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda ★★★★

📍 6PVH+3Q, Schisma Eloundas, Agios Nikolaos

"Three nights here, and honestly one of the most memorable hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The setting is magical, the views feel unreal, and the staff are genuinely warm, attentive, and kind. Special shout-out to the barman, who introduced me to the best cocktail I’ve ever had The restaurant is equally impressive, with outstanding food. We also had the pleasure of meeting the chef, who is incredibly talented, humble, and passionate about his craft. For anyone who loves architecture, interiors, or beautiful places, this hotel is an absolute must. A place I’ll genuinely remember. Thank you!"

📍 Dimokratias, Schisma Elountas, Elounda

"2nd time visiting and even better than the first. Management can’t do enough for you, Tony greets you after a late flight with a beer and wine x then carries your cases to your apartment which are perfect. The pool area is exquisite especially since the refurb. But what makes this holiday is MARIA. She caters for all your needs during the day and will advise on the best restaurants and make your stay special x Maria is a gem and elounda suites are lucky to have her x"

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass ★★★★★

📍 Mesa Pigadakia, Schisma Elountas, Elounda, Agios Nikolaos

"My wife and I just returned from a 7night stay, and we loved it. The people working here, all the people, clearly understand that you get the basics right - and you work hard at that for sure - but then it's the little things that lift a hotel up to the next level. For example, we were arriving late and they had thought to have some nice fresh snacks in the fridge and a bottle of wine to welcome us. There is clearly a lot of work going on from housekeeping, to the care of the facilities, but it feels unobtrusive. I can't speak highly enough, and I do hope that we get the chance to stay here again."

Elounda Heights (Adults Only) ★★★★

📍 Schisma Eloundas, Elounda

"I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough, following my second visit this year. This time I was lucky enough to stay in the new Mirabello Junior Suite with panoramic sea views and shared pool. The vista and room itself were nothing less breathtaking. Importantly, as peaceful and tranquil as described. The accommodation was spotless and food delicious. This year with the added comfort of room service and Netflix/Prime a nice bonus! As a solo traveller, I felt entirely safe and looked after, with kind offers to join fellow guests in the bar in the evening or around the pool if desired. See you in 2027! Thank you Natalia, Kostas & Ritsa xx"

Elounda Breeze Resort ★★★★★

📍 Epar.Od. Agiou Nikolaou - Vrouchas, Schisma Elountas, Agios Nikolaos

"Located in a beautiful area surrounded by mountains and a lovely vie of the sea. It was very quiet when we arrived . Booked a shared pool room and had it for 10 days out of 21, to ourselves .pool was great. Room was spacious and had plenty of space for clothes. Safe is free but quite small. Cleaning was not the best if I’m honest. Vegetation and vegan food was plentiful ( if a little cool for me, microwave was good ) desserts were too good ! Very busy as school hols started in the dining room . Loved green and grill . Food was really tasty. Staff in all places were really nice. Friendly. Front desk really welcoming and helpful getting taxis. Drinks were ok. The €15 a night is quite a lot. Green tax. The main bar is not great. Not enough serving. The room needs more atmosphere. Entertainment aimed at children."

Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark Hotels in Elounda

Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark

"1st the good things, Lovely villa, with our own pool which was great and clean. The pool was a good size for a private one. Staff in general were good, pleasant and efficient. The shared pool areas were lovely, enough for our 6 year old to have lots of fun. Now bad things. The kids fun park was a big let down, it was very dated, poorly equipped and not at all as advertised. The bus to Elounda was laughable, it took you a few hundred yards from the hotel and left you to walk down or up a very steep hill. Also ran only every 2 hours. My biggest complaint however was the food, we went all inclusive hoping we wouldn't spend too much going out but the food was so inadequate this wasn't the case. It looked like there should be a good selection but it was the same all the time, tasteless, cold and nowhere near the 4 star rating it claims to have. Very disappointing."

"As a multi generational family spanning from 10-84 we can say it caters for all! It’s as good as the photos look!! Such a special place and the staff go above and beyond to make sure we are looked after. Shout out to Nagia on concierge who sorted most of our trips (highlight was the 80 ft yacht sail) and George who conjured up some amazing cocktails for us. Michelis at beach bar was super too."

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa

"We can't begin to say how nice of stay we had at Elounda Peninsula. Everything from the welcoming when we first arrived, to our great room, the service, cleanliness, and just overall friendliness of the staff. Maria our housekeeping service was excellent, and provided everything we needed from special pillows, to extra blanket, and bath accessories. The front desk staff (and I did not catch everyone's names) Natalie, Poppi, Manos, Stavroula, and all the rest, were so helpful and attentive. We stayed in a villa with a pool, and it was clean and the views from our outside lounge area was amazing. Breakfast ala carte was very nice as we are not big fans of buffets. We will definitely be back as we already miss swimming in the beautiful sea!"

Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice ,we loved the fresh orange juice machine and eating breakfast on the pier with amazing views. The hotel staff were all friendly, we will definitely return."

Elounda Orama by Ghh

"This was our second visit to this hotel, we returned as we loved Elounda last year. This year we decided to upgrade our room to a superior room with a sea view. We finally got to the hotel at 3:30am, only to be told that our room was not ready due to a technical problem. We were given a very nice room but this was our first disappointment. Next morning we had a cold shower as there was no hot water and went for breakfast only to find there wasn’t any honey as they had run out. We were told our room number but is was still being cleaned so still no chance of settling in and unpacking, on checking the room we were allocated, it wasn’t what we were expecting. To be fair to the hotel, they changed our room to one in the separate block with the gorgeous full sea view we were expecting. The room was gorgeous, however the cleaning wasn’t the best (which is unusual) I had to wipe down the outside table with my face cloth, fir 3 days we didn’t have a bathroom floor mat and the door was left unlocked everyday following cleaning. The hotel is lovely, but there aren’t enough sun beds to provide one for everyone, also some people enjoying the pool weren’t actually staying at the hotel making sunbed problems worse, one group were also bringing their own alcohol to the poolside which went unchallenged. Later in the week the breakfast had no Greek yoghurt, they had run out if that as well The management at the hotel are attentive and nothing is too much trouble, it’s just a shame that small problems have mounted up on the week we were there"

"The hotel is very neat, small and cozy. In the center of the beautiful city, but in the hotel itself there is silence and peace. Only one drawback, because air conditioning costs extra..😕 The hotel also does not have its own swimming pool, but there is a beach nearby🏖️"

"We had a fabulous week staying here. Beautifully quiet and private. We were met by Elias on arrival, and shown round the villa. We really appreciated the tray of cakes and biscuits, as well as the stocked fridge of water, wine and soft drinks. Although it was too cool to enjoy the pool, it was lovely sitting outside next to it. The villa itself was almost perfect. I say almost, as there were a few areas that needed tidying up and the shower being over the bath was a little difficult to get into. (Being a couple over 60) We would definitely stay here again."

Elounda George Studios

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at these wonderful studios. They are extremely well maintained, kept immaculate by a great team of cleaning ladies. They are well equipped with everything you need as well as a very modern bathroom with rainfall shower. Our room overlooked an olive grove with distant sea views, so tranquil. Location was perfect for everything. Eleni and her mum are the most helpful, friendly people you could ever wish to meet. Greek hospitality at its very best. We were welcomed with Raki, water, fresh fruit platter and a delightful handmade gift. We can’t wait to return but the next time for a longer stay. Would highly recommend."

The villas are beautiful, the beds have lovely mattresses and there is a swimming pool to relax if you choose not to visit a beach for the day. Angeliki greeted us with lots of info on the area and suggestions for tours and meals. A home away from home with a touch of luxury."

"Recently returned from our 2 week stay at Alikes and it was just as great as last year. We had a room at the front of the complex with wonderful views we never get tired of! Everyone involved with Alikes are so friendly, efficient and welcoming - they cannot do enough for you. The rooms are very clean and comfortable with a brilliant shower and very comfy beds. Thank you to everyone at Alikes - we hope to see you again next year at some point."

Domes Aulus Elounda Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★★
"We spent two weeks at Domes Aulūs Elounda Resort for our honeymoon, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a more amazing stay. From the moment we arrived, everything was beautiful, relaxing and made our honeymoon feel so special. The hotel itself was absolutely immaculate. Everywhere you went was beautifully maintained and incredibly clean, from the rooms and restaurants to the pool areas and surrounding grounds. You could tell that a huge amount of effort goes into keeping the whole resort looking its best. We paid extra for Cool Living and booked one of the Whirlpool Rooms, and we would 100% recommend looking into both options if you’re considering staying here. They really did make our stay even more incredible. The extra benefits, service and having our own whirlpool made the experience feel that little bit more luxurious and special. We were also really impressed with how quiet and peaceful the resort was. We couldn’t hear a thing from the other rooms or from any of the evening entertainment, which was honestly perfect for a honeymoon. The only time we could really hear other guests was if they happened to be sitting on their balcony at the same time as us, which is completely understandable. It made our room feel really private and peaceful. One thing to be aware of is that the resort is built into the side of a mountain, so there is a fairly steep hill between the main hotel areas and the lower parts of the resort. Thankfully, there is a transfer service to take you up and down, which was really convenient. All of the drivers were lovely and incredibly pleasant, but Jason deserves a special mention. Jason was absolutely remarkable. His English was amazing, which meant we were able to chat with him and get to know him throughout our stay. He was always so polite, friendly and respectful to every guest, and you could genuinely see how much effort he put into his job. He always went above and beyond and made every journey feel like a little part of the experience. We genuinely really liked him and looked forward to seeing him! The whole resort was absolutely stunning, the staff were wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect for a honeymoon. There was such a lovely balance between feeling luxurious and being able to completely switch off and relax. Two weeks went far too quickly, and we genuinely didn’t want to leave. We would 100% return to Domes Aulūs Elounda and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, luxurious, peaceful and relaxing honeymoon destination. 🤍 Thank you to everyone at Domes Aulūs for making our honeymoon so unforgettable! ✨"

Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only ★★★★★
"We stayed here for 4 nights. I had booked a sea view room, but they said it was upgraded to a room with a jacuzzi. While the jacuzzi was nice and relaxing, the sea view was quite limited, which was a bit disappointing. The property is located in a remote and peaceful part of the island. It has excellent internet access and a decent outdoor gym. Since it is right by the sea, you can enjoy walking or running along the coast to the nearest town, Mavrikianon. One important thing to mention is that the property does not have direct access to the sea. To swim, you need to go to either Plaka Beach, which requires a minimum spend of €40 per person to use the sunbeds, or to Mavrikianon Beach, which is much more affordable at €5 per person for the entire day. Mavrikianon Beach is very pleasant and close to markets where you can buy drinks. There are also some good food and drink spots nearby, such as Rudi’s Bar, a British-style pub, and Porto Rino, which serves great pizzas. Make sure to skip Nico’s Fish Tavern and try the Ferryman instead — you won’t regret it. What we found most frustrating was the lack of mosquito screens on the windows. Sleeping with the windows open was not really an option, even though the natural breeze was wonderful. Our room had air conditioning, but we tend to get sick sleeping with it on. There was a ceiling fan as well, but it is a shame to miss out on the fresh air simply because of a missing screen. The breakfast was also a disappointment. There were very few options, the coffee was not good, and the omelettes were overcooked. The most inconvenient part of our stay was the parking system. You have to check in and out with security every time, which felt excessive and time-consuming. It gave the impression of entering a high-security zone, not a relaxing holiday resort. Overall, it was a good experience with some nice features, but for the price, it lacks comfort and convenience in a few key areas. ."

INNSiDE by Meliá Crete Elounda ★★★★
"I had an exceptional stay at INNSiDE by Meliá Elounda. From the moment we arrived, the front-of-house team ( especially Irini )made us feel genuinely welcome with their warm, professional, and attentive service. Nothing was too much trouble, and every interaction was friendly and efficient. The breakfast was outstanding, with a fantastic selection of fresh, high-quality food to suit every taste. It was the perfect way to start each day while taking in the breathtaking views over Elounda Bay. The hotel itself is beautiful, with stunning scenery in every direction. Our room was spacious, stylish, and featured a gorgeous private plunge pool, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind while enjoying the incredible surroundings. Really enjoyed the very chic and tranquil gym . It’s about a 30 minute walk int Elounda town or 12 eur in a taxi. Hotel has only been open since May and everything is brand new The combination of excellent service, spectacular views, luxurious rooms, and an amazing breakfast made this a truly memorable stay. I would highly recommend INNSiDE by Meliá Elounda to anyone looking for a relaxing and high-quality holiday in Crete, and I would happily return. They make a very good Hugo !!"

"We booked a return visit to this superb Hotel and found it to be even better than our stay 9 years ago. There were minor issues caused by the age of the property but anything reported to Reception was dealt with promptly and efficiently. All the staff without exception were friendly and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble! We ate in three nights and found the meals excellent. Breakfast offering was superb with every taste catered for. Our suite was perfect for us with a large open area, totally private pool and a view to die for. We would certainly recommend and will be coming back."

"From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had the most breathtaking sea view. Watching the sunsets from our balcony every evening was pure magic. The room was impeccably cleaned every day, and every detail made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Natalia and Kostas, who are exceptional hosts. Their warmth, kindness, and personal attention to every guest make this place truly special. On my birthday, they surprised me with a bottle of wine and their thoughtful wishes, which made the day even more memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Elounda Heights to anyone visiting Crete. It is a place filled with warmth, hospitality, and beautiful memories. We will definitely be back!"

"The Hotel itself is basic but clean and acceptable but this review isn't about the hotel for that you can read other reviews. This review is for the amazing entertainment team who were there this season 2026. The whole team made our holiday and without them we would have been left mildly disappointed. A special shout out to Amy, Caitlin, Moana and Indy who were just incredible for the whole 2 weeks we were there. They would host daily activities for children and adults, host toddler club, kids disco and interactive quizes. Other members of the entertainment team were Alex, Sam, Arianna, and Kirsten (The headmistress my daughter called her as she was the manager) would all have so much energy at the disco's and they all really encouraged my daughter who is a little shy to come out of her shell and dance and join in on the dance floor. They were also great at involving the adults as well which was brilliant. Every evening they would hand out "diplomas" to adults and children who had won daily activities or had some sort of achievement during the day, which was handed to them on stage by the TUI bot 3000 who was one of the team members in what must have been a stiflingly hot suit! This was very exciting for all the children going up on stage and meeting TUI Bot. Amy, Caitlin, Moana, and Indy also put on showcase productions 5 or 6 nights of the week with epic singing, dancing and outfits which was a huge hit for the kids and adults. As mentioned before, without this group of people our holiday would have been less than half of what it was. Each day was looking forward to seeing who was taking the daily activities, who was going to come round the pool and play mini games and my daughter loved every minutue. If anyone is going this summer with children to this hotel, I encourage you to engage with this team, you wont regret it. My daughter Tilly especially warmed to Amy and she always made Tilly, Olivia and me feel special. So a special thank you to Amy. Thank you from all of us, Greg, Olivia, and Tilly."
