The beach is beautiful but has been ruined by sunbeds and amenities. It is no longer remote and private. It is over run with tourists. The accommodation was quiet as only one other place to stay at this beach. The pictures look nicer than the actual space inside. However, the outside is pleasant and quiet. The beach was much nicer early mornings and late afternoon as the hoards of tourists had left.
Rooms Kochilas Elafonisi is a small family run property, 5 km from Elafonisi beach in the village of Moni Chrisoskalitissis. Free private parking is available on site.

The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was quite equipped which allowed us to have light dinner and breakfast inhouse. The A/C was working great. The communication with the owner of the facility was excellent, he is very kind and helpful and he gave us nice tips to explore the area near Elafonnisi.
Elafonisi is the most overrated beach in Crete.
Super crowded. The sand is not pink. It's a normal sand. The beach resorts are expensive, usually they are full and the chairs are attached. On top of that, you need to walk 20 minutes to reach the sea.

Breathtaking natural lagoon which everyone is coming to enjoy. Get here before the buses arrive at 10 am or come after 4pm when buses leave otherwise I think it is too crowded. Consider staying overnight at Lafo Rooms.

Elafonisi Beach, with its unique pink sand, is undeniably stunning. However, during the day it can become extremely crowded, making it challenging to find sunbeds. Nevertheless, as the day transitions into evening, the beach becomes quiet, serene, and free from crowds, allowing you to fully appreciate its true beauty, especially during the magical moments just before sunset.

What a ZOO!!!
What a ZOO!!! It’s mid October and the place is still super crowded. Cannot even begin to imagine the crowds in July or August.
Crowds aside… it is an amazing place… beautiful, clear water.. great for young families. One can find a bit of privacy across the water on the spot.

A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete...
A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete so far. It is also a very valuable and protected natural site. The beach offers a very varied environment. There is classic seating on the shore under umbrellas and bars. Towards the sea you can enjoy the shallow beach and the sea waves. On the other side there is a quiet shallow lagoon with several islets and a sand spit connecting the coast with the island of Elafonisi. The lagoon is just a paddle away. If you go further, the other side of the island is again washed by the sea and there is also quite a nice snorkeling environment. Because of the size and ruggedness of the place, you can easily find a space for yourself. But there are a lot of people. There is little shade on the spot, so the more experienced ones will occupy the better spots first thing in the morning. It's good to have something to protect you from the sun. You have to go back to the beginning for drinks and toilets, so count on that. Plenty of space to park on site, just the last stretch is not a groomed road so watch your tyres.
It was very close to Elafonisi paradise beach, moreover the structure was surrounded by olive trees.
The room was comfortable, with all the provided tools such as phondryer and towels.
Wonderful the little terrace to have a rest.
The owner very gentle to leave us some breakfast solutions with soluble coffee, thè and something to eat.
The owner helped us even changing a not functioning bathroom light bulb, the day after the request.
Finally a tiny mini market can be found just under the structure as well as excellent restaurants nearby.
Elafonisi village is a lovely accommodation designed in balance with the landscape around. Our room was spacious, renovated and clean. We had a beautiful patio with a sofas set with a view towards the sea and the sunset in front. So romantic in the evening! The restaurant has amazing view over Elafonisi. The people who run the place are so nice and made their best to accommodate our wishes. We loved it!
The accomodation is behind the minimarket on the road to elafonisi beach(10 min walking from the beach).Same welcoming owner as the one of the minimarket will greet you when you will arrive.
The apartment was also fully equiped with anything you will need. For me it was also comfortable to work for a couple of days too.
You will get a well filled fridge with what you need.
Perfect location, just a few minutes walk from the most beautiful beach of Crete. We had breakfast and diner in the restaurant managed by the hotel owners and were very satisfied as well, excellent food and very nice staff. The bedroom were spacious, comfortable bed, perfectly clean, quite … This is the place to go to enjoy Elafonisi beach at its best.
I had booked a small single room, but got upgraded to a triple room without additional charges. The room was simple, but large and clean, good value for the money I spent. The location is very convenient since it is 5 minutes away from Elafonisi beach by car. The host was very welcoming and helpful.
The owner of the apartment is very nice and helpful. The apartment is very clean and the view of the sunset from the balcony is amazing. It is about a 5 mins drive to elafonisi beach. Also close to a few restaurants and a mini market. I will definitely come back again.
The staff at kochilas was friendly and accommodating! The rooms are quaint and small but it's no problem because if you're booking a room near elafonisi beach, you probably will spend all of your time at the beach! I'd also recommend visiting white lake too.
Kind and smiling staff
We found coffee, tea and biscuits at arrival in the room, that was super clean and comfortable
Super close to Elafonisi beach, you don’t even have to pay the parking!
We made also 2 new cats friends♥️
Good location, not far from the beach. The beach is really beatiful! Market and cafés are nearby, and inside there are air conditioning and fridge. The bathroom is comfortable too. Ideal apartment for its price.
It was so close to the beach! Staying in the area really allowed us to make the most of the beach in a way we couldn’t have done on a day trip. Very basic room but it was all we needed for a short stay.
It was like having a natural air-condition. Very close to Elafonisi and Kedrodasos beach. Very friendly host. He agreed to keep our luggages after the check-out so we can pick them in the evening.
We had an upper room at the front of the property with a beautiful view to the coastline.
About a 5-10 minute drive to Elafonisi Beach. Elena was the perfect hostess.
The house was amazing, spacious, very clean, equipped with everything needed. It is located very close to Elafonisi beach, very close to the market as well.
