Elounda will steal your heart
First let me say what a great holiday we had and we happily revisit The location for us was perfect, a short walk into elounda which retains is more traditional harbour roots but with many a good restaurant and cocktail bar without all the noise etc We were blown away with our balcony, yes it is not ally an upgrade but wow space for table chairs and 2 sun beds and a sea view, the perfect place to watch the sun and moon rise each day. The roof top pool is small, however not once did we fail to get a bed and actually with it not opening till 9am you didn’t have the 7am towels go down, that was reserved for the beach opposite. We were bed and breakfast and glad we did, breakfast was great plenty of choice but it also allowed us to try many of the local food places and wow that was great. The hotel is clean, well looked after just 2 suggestions not issues The rooms are modern great bathroom but no drawer space at all, a small wardrobe but you could really do with a chest of drawers The second one is beach/pool towels You offer them, you don’t have to but you do at a deposit of €5 each, that’s fine however if you want to change the towel then it’s a €2 charge per towel cleaning, personally either offer beach/pool towels or don’t, to charge for cleaning them I’ve never come across, that said you supply a safe in each room and it’s free, I’ve always paid for a safe so perhaps you could charge for the safe and then supply the towels free, just a suggestion. Overall a great location, great hotel and the area for us was perfect We will return one day

Fantastic holiday
Myself and my partner stayed at this hotel in early July and absolutely loved it. We have been coming to Elounda for a number of years but never stayed here. It will be our only choice from now on! Although the rooms aren't large (which we knew before we travelled) they were modern, immaculate and have everything you need. We had bed and breakfast and there was a very good choice of food which was replenished constantly. The Sky bar is lovely too either in the afternoon or evening with fabulous views. However, I must say the thing we loved the most was how fantastic all the staff are. Every one of them was more than helpful, constantly cheerful and able to have a chat - they are an absolute credit to the hotel. We have already booked for next year!
1st class
We are currently staying here, it really is fantastic. The staff are extremely professional and very friendly, the food is exellent, a full choice of continental, full english, or cereal fruits yogurts for the health concious, the hotel itself is spotlessly clean as is our room (cleaned daily) no need to ramble on there are no negatives here, if you dont stay here you've missed out. This is a 5 star experience and the best of Cretan hospitality.

Fabulous
Looking at recent reviews we had the same room as a recent reviewer complaining about the view! Sitting on the balcony the view is beautiful, their review is deceptive as it's when stood up. The hotel can't control the messy yard from the restaurant next door. The hotel is modern, clean and well equipped. The people working there are all very helpful and friendly, a special shout out the the breakfast team (sorry no names), the man on reception with glasses when we arrived late at night, the cleaners, Harri and Gabrielle in the bar and Kleo who never stops smiling!
Our room was modern and clean and a very comfortable bed. Towels changed daily, and bedding every other day.
Breakfast has to be the best we've ever had, everything from fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, cakes, tiny desserts, cooked meat, cheeses, cooked breakfast etc and an amazing freshly squeezed orange machine.
There is a small stoney beach with around 20 beds but you will need to be up early to get a bed,the rooftop pool is nice but again only has 16 beds. If you like a lie in then you will need to go to the main beach one of the nearby bars. There are signs stating beds are not to be reserved but this was not actioned. Often there were beds with towrls on left empty for hours.
