    Maria, who welcomed us at the property, was very nice and helpful. She has given us tips on what places nearby to visit. That list was super helpful. We also enjoyed the coffee and the juice at the restaurant. Glykeria hotel also has one of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. On one side there are mountains, on the other - the sea. The pool is a perfect addition to the whole experience. I definitely recommend visiting this place.

    Nothing. All was perfect

    The room is clean. All the rooms have perfect sea view. It has pool with tools to play with. Maria and Nikos were great help. Maria provided us with a list of places to visit together with their mobile number in case we need help.Breakfast was also delicious. Shortly, nice place, nice location (walking distance to Voulolimni) and perfect hosts.

    Not necessarily something I didn’t like. But good to be aware that you kind of need a car to go to a lot of the beaches near by. There are a few places walking distance, but the big main beaches in the area are a few minutes drive.

    The property was very nice! The pool was beautiful and the rooms were very comfortable and nice. Air conditioning worked great, nice bathrooms. Nice view of the sea. The restaurant was also great! We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there multiple times on our stay.

    Price a little bit high. walk-in shower not greatly designed, and floor was inevitably watered.

    Great welcome by Maria, with drinks and useful tips about the region. Location and view. Clean. Parking available. Maria and Niko always available with a smile, and even via WhatsApp. Good and tasty food and breakfast at the restaurant (Breakfast not included in our rate, but we had a 20% discount on the breakfast price). Umbrella, beach bag and towels available in our room for usage during our stay. Fresh water and a complimentary little oil bottle when we departed. We will return there for sure.

    It felt like home. From the moment we walked in, Maria treated us like family. We had complimentary drinks upon arrival as our room wasn’t ready-but we were actually early! She explained the history of the hotel and restaurant and we felt connected immediately. She gave us a detailed hand written list of where we should go in the area. She lent us an umbrella and beach towels. The room was magnificent. The pool area was so lovely. The food at the restaurant was fantastic. The wines had been researched by the brothers and they were wonderful too. Everything was perfect!

    Great little hotel that I highly recommend. . The kindness and helpfulness of Maria and Nikos make it exceptional. They provide very good advice for visiting the area. The food is good. It is homemade and changes daily. The rooms are spacious, sea facing, everything is quite new. Beds are large and comfortable. There are few accommodations near Elafonisi, this is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in this area.

    Really nothing. The separate taverna was a bit expensive compared with other places in Crete and the menu a bit limited, but the food and service was very good and there are other places to eat very close by.

    Very well designed modern hotel with nice pool and attractive sitting areas. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the shower the best one we had in Crete: balcony to watch sunset and sea. Maria was a fount of information and went to great lengths to get us some chairs for the beach, as well as supplying beach towels.

    Nothing, this property is perfect and is 5/5 stars.

    1. Maria is the best hostess and provided excellent advice and guidance on where to go and what to do in Elafonsis. You’ll be in good hands if she’s there. 2. The rooms are super clean and well updated. The shampoo and lotions they provide are excellent. As are the towels and beach towels. The hotel balconies are perfect over looking the sea. 3. The hotel also has a restaurant across the street with amazing food. Trust the waiters and waitress for their recommendation’s. The hotel and the restaurant are the best in all of Crete. FYI: try the warm Greek salad or the green walnut salad at the restaurant! 4. It’s close to the best beaches in the area.

    Maria and Nikos and everyone at the hotel were so nice and friendly - they made the trip extra special. The bedroom was nice and comfortable with a lovely view over the sea. The pool was very refreshing after a day in the sun. The restaurant was fab - lovely traditional Greek food washed down with local Lyra beer and wine. Highly recommend a stay!

    All was perfect!

    Guykeria hotel and its management, in particular Maria was superb! Maria welcomed us with cold drinks at the stunning restaurant that is part of the hotel (huge bonus). The rooms are very comfortable and beautiful with refrigerator and plenty of room to stretch and to organize our things. Great balcony to the superb sunset. Maria the host is a Supper-Women, really!!! she was taking care of every thing for us, and others. we received beach towels and sun umbrella to go to the beach (later we have bought for ourselves 4 of her great beach towels that we are so happy with). The pool on premises is again a great bonus and wonderful to go to before the day begins or after a Long Beach day. my 11 years old daughter enjoyed the pool sooooo much and so do us. This is a perfect place at Elafonessi!, peace and haven. Looking forward to come for another week.

    If I really have to find something, I would say that the pillows were too high and firm for my taste, but that's just a minor detail in an otherwise fantastic place.

    The restaurant has a beautiful view of the sea, the dishes are excellent, and the staff is extremely friendly, making you feel right at home. When we arrived at the hotel, we met Maria, who showed us around the hotel, offered us a cappuccino and orange juice, and explained all the secrets of the beaches near the hotel. In the end, she gave us her phone number to call her, even via WhatsApp, in case of any need. Simply Fantastic!!!

    More trees for shade would help with temperature and making it more comfortable outside. The restaurant is a bit expensive and more local options would be nice.

    Nice location, very nearby important sites by car. Comfortable rooms. Helpful staff.
