Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass, hotel in Elounda

Located just a short stroll from the sea in Elounda, the family-run property offers stylish villas with a private pool, and individually decorated luxury suites with Cretan Sea or garden views.

Everyone was nice but the kitchen staff was spectacular. The star of the show in my opinion was Manos, who seemed to be the head waiter. His simple presence uplifted the entire restaurant. His wording, even in a second language, made the atmosphere graceful and you felt provided for without pretention. So much warmth and so professional. The waitress Sofia would pick up crying children (with approval of parents of course) and welcome everyone warmly. The food of course was also good, as well as the rest of the staff. thank you!

Elounda Katikia Luxury Living, hotel in Elounda

A few steps from Elounda Beach in Elounda, Elounda Katikia Luxury Living features accommodations with access to a hot tub. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free Wifi.

If you’re in a hurry, the very short version of this review is: Staying here is one of the best travel decisions I ever made. And I’m 57. It really is. Book this place. You’ll be so glad you did. Short review: Stay here if you’re looking for somewhere to have a really relaxing holiday, with everything you could possibly wish for provided and more, in a truly beautiful place with great weather, where even if you barely leave the apartment you’ll have a great time, yet interesting people and places and wonderful food and company are within very easy reach. Honestly, just come and stay here. You won’t regret it! Book it now. I know it all sounds too good to be true - I thought that and I was anxious that it couldn’t possibly be as good as I hoped. I was wrong, it was even better than I hoped. We had the most amazing time! Really. I don’t write many reviews. I have put a lot of time into this one. This is a really special place. Don’t miss out. Full length review: Book a stay here. You’ll thank yourself every morning as you gaze at the wonderful view. Every time you think ‘I could do with a… oh, here one is… is there anything they haven’t thought of..?’ (By the way, the answer is no. They’ve thought of everything. You could just bring your passport, money phone and clothes. Everything else you might need is to hand). You’ll thank yourself whenever you message the wonderful host, Michael, for advice and receive a warm and helpful reply. On the sofa on the terrace, wondering just how many ranges of hills and mountains you can see. As you sunbathe on soft, water-resistant cushions after a soak in the hot tub. When a group of warm and friendly staff from Vachus Taverna serve your ‘take out’ meal on their crockery at the dining table in your apartment for no extra charge. As you take stunning photos of the bluest sea and sky framed perfectly by architecture on Spinalonga Island.

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection, hotel in Elounda

The 5-star Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection offers luxurious accommodations with spa bath overlooking the Unesco-protected island of Spinalonga and its Venetian castle.

The rooms were gorgeous, almost as gorgeous as the view. One of the most gorgeous and scenic views I have ever seen. The staff could not have been more friendly. From the Guest Relations Staff, particularly Ina, to the absolutely lovely, helpful and service oriented house keeping staff. Special shout out to the restaurant workers who dealt with everything with a smile.

    Elounda is a compact small town on a beautiful sheltered bay. Easy to walk around to visit shops and the many restaurants, tavernas and cafes. In high season it's very much a resort but it's also really nice to visit it out of season, when it's just a working town. There are expensive resorts and hotels outside the main town and it's obvious that there is sufficient income for the local authorities to keep the roads, pavements, infrastructure, etc., well maintained, unlike some other places on Crete.

    Would be a charming town if not sooo many tourists who are being brough to Elounda with big busses to do boat tours. Above has impact on prices and daily routine in the town, leaving little space for Cretean live-style.

    Elounda is a great place - very pretty, everything you need is within walking distance - you dont really need a car. Beaches are close by, or you can walk further out to them. Bars and restaurants all around - some cheap and cheerful, some traditional some finer dining - but all are excellent. You can get boats from the harbour/port to various places. Lots of places to visit - Spinalonga, Ag Nik, Heraklion, museums etc Also if you like walking - there are a lot of options around the peninsula and along to Plaka. It isnt cheap but isn't expensive. There are A LOT of English people who go to Elounda (regularly) - but its not full of sports bars or English breakfast places! A really good place for a first timer to Crete or Greece. Everybody is friendly and its a very chilled out place.

    Elunda is a little fishing village that has grown with the tourist industry, loads of taverna's and restaurants easily keep you going for two weeks, some nice bars as well. We go in May or September, September is still up to 30 deg and the sea is lovely and warm, it is a lot quieter and relaxing with older people being the main tourists. The town has two good beaches, It overlooks a bay that is guarded by Spinalonga Island formerly a leaper colony and before that a Venetian fort, worth a visit by boat from the harbour. Along the coast a couple of miles in a Taxi is Placa a charming place to have a meal or a drink in the evening, has some very good restaurants with a beautiful view of Spinalonga. The other side of Elunda is a large town of Agios Nikolaos Lots of shops and things to see even more restaurants. We hired a car for a few days and went out and about there are a few interesting arclogiclde sites within an hours radius, Kritsais a very old village inland up in the hills, it is worth a visit with lots of craft shops and taverna's and nice views, We have been to Elunda 4 times and will go back next year hopefully.

    The holiday homes are cultured, there are no vendors on the beach, or loud music. There are a lot of rocks in the sea and the fishes are biting :D, so it's worth wearing water shoes. It's a calm and clean city, the locals are nice, the food and drinks are amazing, they give you big portions. There is a lot of wind in Elounda, but Plaka is really windy. There is some nightlife in the bars, but nothing rough. The vacation here is relaxing and pleasant.

    Elounda is outstanding.A number of restaurants are on jetties streching out into Elounda bay. The Blue Sea Cretan Cuisine and seafood restaurant located in front of my hotel was fabulous! Exceptional food and service at great prices. Elounda and Spinalonga is full of lovely local shops selling beautiful items, many hand made. The local people I found to be warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of available sunbeds on the sea front. I felt no need to go anywhere else as I was staying for 1 week, although there were boat trips on offer along the sea front. I did get the bus to Agios Nikolaus for 1euro 80 each way around 20 minutes from Elounda.

    The hosts, the newly-refurbished rooms, the VERY comfortable bed and pillows, powerful shower, good air-con, the welcome Prosecco and fruit, bottles of water provided each day - all of it was spot on. Our balcony overlooked the hustle and bustle of the harbour and was great to watch the world go by, and was literally seconds to get to restaurants, bars, the beach and the boats to Spinalonga. Everything about this little hotel is perfect, and should we return to Elounda we would not look to stay anywhere else.

    We stayed in Sapphire Zen Suit with Whirpool. Hotel location was very good. Shuttle service was very helpfull (whenever we called, they came and picked us) The views at Cool Living area and in the room were amazing. People (especially Efi in Greco Levante) and services in A La Carte restaurants were very nice. Good brands of alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks. The barmen Anastasia in Lobby Bar was very good and professional. Check in and check out was very quick and staffs were friendly.

    Hotel was awesome! Loved that they had a gym! Beach front was not as nice as it could be , there is a boat rental company that is right there basically where you would swim. Food was great, not cheap however was nice portions and well made. Drinks expensive but well made. One negetive that I would say is the hotel is a taxi drive from everything. Keep this in mind if you want to do things around Crete. Walking is a bit far to any near by areas of interest.

    Amazing view from the suites. very good breakfast. great service and staff. clean, good atmosphere in resort surroundings. Elounda area is nice and cozy. we had a rare problem of some noise coming from some equipment in the room. the staff did every effort to fix it and also to solve the situation for us immediately, including to offer us a change to another suite (so we will not wait till it’s fixed) and solved the situation with care and kindness.

    Great location, first class facilities especially the room with pool and balcony. Staff service amazing, professional yet also friendly and welcoming. Breakfast excellent and dinner in two different restaurants of the highest quality. One of the best beachside hotel I have stayed in . A must stay when you visit Crete. Thanks for making our holiday there a memorable one.

    The view of Elounda bay, the Island and Spinalonga from the balcony is Delfina's/Dolphins' greatest advantage. The location could hardly be better if you want "central", and don't mind some traffic noise. The owner and host George, Γιώργος, is an example of the best of Crete : Hospitable, helpful and serviceminded, not to mention his sense of humour.

    The view was amazing and the family owned atmosphere was evident in all they did. Breakfast was great each morning and the chef offered a special each evening for dinner. We decided to get massages and our expectations weren't too high given we love our technicians back home. However, the masseuse that Elounda Heights uses for massages was amazing!

    I visited 3 years ago and the hotel has changed a lot after a major renovation. Elounda has many beautiful hotels but the main reason we always book the Elounda Peninsula is for the location of its suites. Where ever you are located you have totally privacy but within 2 minutes you have easy access to all facilities. Definitely recommended.

    Very friendly staff, service was efficient with no formality,, rooms were relatively spacious and well appointed. Having 2 small private beaches was fantastic to spend lazy afternoons in the sun without having to leave the hotel. Very accommodating of a late check out. Location was very convenient close to Elounda village.

    This was a large and specious luxury villa. The owner did his best to make us feel welcome from the moment he greeted us to the moment we said goodbye. For most of our stay, he was never too far away (in the basement apartment) and always available to answer questions or provide anything we were missing.

    expectations are met only at the entrance to the lobby of this very dated hotel. in fact the only thing they were concerned about spending money was the lobby furniture. then you go up the stairs to get to the room. it all ends there.
