We stayed in the Luxury Residence and it was perfect for a family of 4. The swimming pool and the patio was the highlight for us. The food at the restaurants on-site was amazing, especially the dinner at Tholos with special cuisine nights. The resort offers a lot of activities to keep both adults & kids busy. And a special mention for the staff for their amazing hospitality and taking care of our every little need. It was an absolute pleasure to be at the Domes of Elounda! Can't wait for our next one!

Just 200 metres from Elounda Beach in Crete, Elounda Krini Hotel features free WiFi, a restaurant and buffet breakfast. Rooms have a balcony overlooking the Cretan Sea and Spinalonga Island, or the mountains and pool.

The view from the room was amazing. The hotel is not located in a busy area so it was quite peaceful. You can also walk to the beaches nearby since it's not too far. The staffs were so helpful and nice.

St. Nicolas Bay Resort lies on a private beachfront, 1.5 km from Agios Nikolaos. It features 2 outdoor, not heated, swimming pools (not heated) and a luxurious spa and wellness centre. Its stylish accommodation offers spectacular views of the charming Μirabello Bay.

The service was top notch. Everyone was helpful and answered any requests we had. We had half board and though previous comments said that the food was not good, I beg to differ. The breakfast was ample with lots of buffet options (hot and cold) as well as the menu (you could order omelets, and other items off the menu). Frappes and Fredo espressos were not problem. The setting at breakfast was beautiful overlooking the pool and ocean. One of the previous comments said that there weren't any Greek offerings at dinner. Being Greek-American, I thought the inclusive dinner options did a great job with an overall selection to appeal to everyone as well as classic Greek and Cretan options. Obviously, if one truly wants a true Cretan dining experience, then I recommend eating off property, but we ate both nights we stayed at the resort, and we all greatly enjoyed. I've been to many all-inclusive hotels in Mexico and the Caribbean and the food and drinks at this establishment were the best we've had. The hotel manager was always present, making rounds ensuring people were enjoying their stay. In fact, our son celebrated his birthday one night and the hotel staff provided a dairy-free cake (he's allergic to dairy) for his bday complete with candles! Lastly, the resort is beautifully and tastefully decorated. I greatly enjoyed walking around, taking in all the sights. The designers did an exceptional job making it feel very Greek island-esque with every nook and cranny having artwork or decorations.

    Beautiful property with stunning views. It was very clean throughout and had everything we needed for a wonderful trip. Georgia was a brilliant host and couldn’t do enough to help us before we arrived and while we were there. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely recommend this property. Elounda itself is a lovely little resort with plenty of restaurants, shops and beaches.

    The Hotel is a boutique resort, lovely place, magnificent service of Ritza that took care of us even after she was at home on her free time (sent as a lot of suggestions of places to visit). The owner, Kostas was also so kind and served us the tasty breakfast that Natalia, his wife, prepared for us. We would like to come back. (The driving uphill isn't for the faint of heart, because there is a sharp turn while driving the steep hill ).

    The house was beautifully designed and the location could not be beaten. There were restaurants and bars only a few meters away but not so close as to be a noise problem. The fridge and cupboards had food essentials for our arrival. The view was spectacular.

    Everything!!! The apartment is like no other! Steps from the beach, lovely view from the fabulous terrace & high quality facilities throughout the apartment. It is truly exceptional and luxury living indeed. It’s super clean and cleaned during your stay. Mike, the host was super helpful and checking all was ok throughout our stay - from the amazing welcome when we arrived & welcome pack, to helping us sort an issue with flights AND the attention to detail to make this a special place. I would highly recommend 😊
