The lady at reception was lovely. We drove to Sitia and realized we had left our passports and money belt in a drawer. She was phoned and went up and found them and put them in her safe for us!! So kind of her. We will recommend her hotel!
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.

The lady at reception was a 10/10! She was knowledgeable about local history, suggested great places to visit, and was both happy and friendly. She really made our stay (and the rest of our trip thanks to her suggestions) delightful!

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!

We visited it after big towns like Chania and Rethymno, so we felt like it is very small and quiet.
If you want a long walk, you can go to the Kalydon island, see some goats and Chapel of Saint Luke.
The restaurants near the sea are pretty fancy, the prices are high enough.
If you want to taste the real Greek cuisine go to Coha Grill House.
This is a real taverna with absolutely delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. And the prices are fair.
Also you can take a boat to Spinalonga island. I recommend, the history of this island is impressive.
It takes about 20 minutes to reach it and costs 14 euros back and forth.
The boats departure every 30 minutes from 10.30 a.m. till 4.30 p.m.
All in all I can say that this place is suitable for older people or for people who don't prefer active rest.
Energetic people will be bored here.

Elounda is a very relaxing place with everything...plenty of boat trips for fishing and ferries to Spinalonga. Beach and restaurants within walking distance with plenty of places to sit for those not just as mobile. There are buses to travel to Plaka and Nicos Longa. There is also a small tourist train that takes you on a trip up to the mountains .

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.
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!
We had a large bungalow, two bathrooms, separate living area, just a few metres from the pool, 50/60 metres from the beach. It was fantastic.
The location is great, walkable into Elounda and a short bus/taxi/drive into Agios Nikolaos.
Wonderful staff, very clean hotel with a beautiful beach area. Quiet location, nice restaurant and a lovely beach bar for a late night cocktail.
We knew it would be good, it was better than expected
Sitting just above Elounda, on a property covered with olive trees, this newly built hotel has very modern convenience delivered with the best of Cretan Hospitality and Charm!
After spending the morning exploring Elounda, the swimming pool shaded by olive trees, grape vines and hot pink Bougainville was a welcome oasis.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room beautifully appointed and already cooled when we arrived.
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.
Great location and service. Anna and her team consistently went above and beyond to satisfy our needs and requests. Clean facilities with excellent breakfast. Centrally located and most top notch restaurants are within walking distance. The hotel can also help plan tourist activities and arrange transportation!!! Overall, an excellent place to stay in Elounda!!
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.
This is lovely hotel with delightful caring staff. Nice to be able to cook simple meals. Shower good. Plenty of space for storage. Great position for everything that the beautiful town of Elounda has to offer. Great pool, bar area and the ability to leave bags for a late departure yet have a shower and change after a day out is great!
The personnel was exceptional . Very helpful and always smiling. I hope they get paid well. They deserve it. The Bangalows have outstanding privacy and they are very quiet. The views of the sea and the island are beautiful. The hotel is also very clean and the rooms are being cleaned twice every day.
The hotel is very well located and the view is incredible, directly on spinalonga. It is also close to Plaka so you can actually walk there. The rooms are nice and spacious and the cleaning ladies are very nice and helpful. The beach itself is nice, the service there not at all.
I loved everything about this hotel ... the history (it was the first hotel in Elounda), the location (at the port. close to everything), the refurbishment (gorgeous contemporary design), but most of all, the kind-hearted owner (Nectaria, such a lovely, kind-hearted person).
Extremely accommodating friendly family/staff. Cleanliness. Serene surroundings, situated at Spinalonga end of Elounda within walking distance to the centre with its restaurants and away from noise. Pool with beach nearby. Good bar and food available if required.
THE SERVICE! from the second we arrived until the moment we checked out, we were amazed by the incredible hospitality of the staff. besides that, the view of our hotel room was spectacular and the spa facilities were relaxing and fun.
The hotel is great. Private beach one of the best I ever been. Service was great, we had an upgraded huge room, wine and cake as a welcome gift. Stuff was really helpful. Area is beautiful and quiet.
The location is smack dab in the middle of Elounda! Best location. Also the breakfast was nice. Our balcony was looking right over the water and restaurants on the water! Wonderful hotel.
everything about this hotel was amazing from the lovely staff, food, drink, accommodation and amazing location it was all 5 star and more we will defiantly be going back
