Great location, great staff. It’s not luxury hotel but that’s not what we wanted! It felt authentic. It is close to everything too - dinner and shops are seconds away. We arrived on Easter weekend without knowing so we caught the parade going right past the entrance. The staff were so kind as to explain the traditions and even gave us some dyed eggs for the midnight cracking to take with us to our next location. Nothing was a problem. They helped us communicate for our transfer and advised us on how to get around and what to see/eat. Cannot emphasise enough how welcomed we felt- it felt like we were staying with our own family. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.
This modern 5-star hotel is surrounded by acres of gardens, overlooking the Mirabello Bay, just minutes from beaches and the fishing village of Elounda.

We spent five wonderful and unforgettable days at the Elounda beach hotel.
From the moment you arrive you are greeted by extremely warm and personable reception and concierge staff. The hotel has amazing landscaping and it feels like you are staying on a private island in your own world. Elounda beach has THE best location on the mirabello bay with the best views of the bay on either side of the hotel.
The hotel beaches were one of the biggest attractions for us and they did not disappoint. They have 2 beaches (1 large and 1 small). We loved the small beach which was almost felt like our private beach. The water was great and refreshing and service was excellent. The rooms have amazing views and are very well equipped
The hotel has 4 excellent restaurants on the property with excellent quality food and a wide variety and we never felt the need to go anywhere outside for our meals. The restaurant staff was very accommodating with tables with excellent view and great service. There was a special 3 hour Greek BBQ and song and dance night that was one of the highlights for our stay. The veghera bar which is almost in its own rock island and shaped like a ship was favorite place for drinks and cocktails.
Overall the staff of the hotel is amazing and super professional and accommodating. They set very high standards and always aim to satisfy their guests
Thank you to the Elounda beach staff for making our stay a memorable one.
Located near the sea, the family-run Elounda Palm Hotel & Suites is located in the area of Elounda. A restaurant and a lounge bar, as well as a large outdoor pool with poolside bar are featured.

A quiet location a couple of miles from the main town Elounda, the breakfast was fabulous, and varied with choices of full English, Mediterranean or Greek, the staff were helpful and friendly without exception. Great views over Elounda and Spinalonga Islands. There is also a small gym, bar and pool table, which we didn't make use of but good to know we could if we wanted.
Situated on the beachfront in Elounda and boasting a private beach area, Naiades Boutique Hotel - Adults Only has free WiFi.

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.
Superb views, great facilities - large pool and outdoor area, extremely comfortable beds, pizza oven, plenty of space for 2 adults and 2 teens. You can walk into Elounda or get a taxi. Lots of amazing restaurants nearby. Easy to hire a car and also easy to get your COVID tests for flying. Louiza, our host, could not have been more helpful. She even helped us organize a poolside massage! She was available on WhatsApp for the duration of our stay and we were extremely grateful. A perfect place; highly recommended.
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!
Fantastic hotel, couldn't fault the room, the view, the service, the facilities and the food! Great location between Plaka (for Spinalonga) and Elounda, both a short taxi ride away, with access to loads of bars and affordable restaurants.
We took full advantage of the spa, restaurants and lunch and cocktail options, which can add up a lot of euros, so something watch out for but we wanted total luxury for 5 nights a d that's what we got with our own got tub over looking the sea!
Everything about our experience at the Elounda Palm Hotel & Suites was straight out the top drawer. The hotel, it's staff, the facilities enabled us to relax, find some peace to enjoy the views and the pool and generally be looked after by such a wonderful team (special mention to Eleni on the front desk - what a star). The hotel was a wonderful place to spend time after the adventures of exploring Crete, great location with Elounda and Agios Nikolous on the door step too!
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.
What to say that's not been said already. What a stunning gem. My sisters and I had a totally fabulous and relaxing stay at Tsifliki Beach House. The views from the terrace are breathtaking especially at dawn and sunset. Easy walk into Elounda and Plaka for beautiful shops and restuarants. The private beach is so peaceful and the family are so welcoming and helpful. You will not be disappointed and we will definitely return.
Wonderful location with panoramic helicopter view over the Elounda bay. Spacious & comfortable room, nicely decorated with full amenities. Clean, hospitable, discreet & courteous personnel. Its location (including the embedded culinary Terrassa restaurant) is an oasis of accommodation, unique view, & delicious tastes. We thank Kostas & Anna, Despina & the serving team for the wonderful week we spent at their premises.
Excellent location in the centre of Elounda. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the attention to detail is excellent and the room is very peaceful. We had an enormous balcony, which was well furnished and private. Loved the small kitchen area and fridge. The beds were super comfortable and ensured a super nights sleep, aided by the air con. Wifi was good. Owner, family and staff were all lovely.
It's not a Leading Hotel of the World for no reason! We felt looked after & taken care of during our stay. We will be back. The beds are out of this World too: full adjustable & incredibly comfy (Room 131). We loved the extensive breakfast options, sunken bath, walk in shower & private balcony overlooking the sea too. Nothing is too much trouble when it comes to service either.
The staff are so accommodating and friendly especially the receptionists - made you feel really looked after and welcome. Rooms are really clean and the sea view is amazing. The hotel is in a lovely quiet location a short (but nice) walk from the main part of Elounda. The breakfast is also really good with lots to chose from. Would 100% recommendation this hotel to anyone!
Elounda George Studios exceeded my expectations. It was comfortable, safe and great value for money. This family run business was in an excellent location and the family included lots of extra touches to make you feel both welcome and valued as a guest. Would definitely recommend. Hoping to return soon.
I loved everything about this hotel. The owner, Maria, is just so nice, attentive and kind. Rena makes every breakfast a royal treat. The room, location, surrounding restaurants, view, beach, hikes, nearby town - everything was just perfect.
There is no doubt in my mind that I will come back here.
We had a super room with private terrace with sun loungers overlooking one of the hotel private beaches. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. We also enjoyed being able to use the facilities of the sister hotel Elounda Beach Hotel with a variety of restaurants and a fantastic spa.
We stayed at Blue Palace Hotel as a couple at “Superior Bungalow Sea View with private heated pool”.
It was an amazing experience right from the start. Professional and kind personnel, fantastic view from the room, classy atmosphere and beautiful beach.
Very friendly and quietly efficient hotel. Lovely setting, very quiet at all times, ideal for people who want peace. Food great at a most reasonable price. Wonderful staff. Lovely (superior) room with sun balcony and view over the bay.
We loved the hotel and its fair to say its like an upmarket boutique hotel. Maria has excellent taste and it shows in the decor, the beautiful breakfasts we had and even the toiletries provided. Maria is a wonderful host
