"From the moment we arrived , we were greeted by the lovely Kostas . A warm , friendly welcome. He took us to our room that had a lovely spacious balcony with a view of Elounda bay . This hotel has wonderful staff including the amazing, very hardworking Sophia who seems to be everywhere . The Standard rooms are clean , however they are needing an upgrade . The Superior rooms have been done and are beautiful . Nothing can beat the location of this hotel, across the road , down the steps and on to the most beautiful bay ."

"Just when you think Elounda Heights cannot possibly get any better - in 2026 it does just that! The same friendly service, customer focus and attention to detail that other hotels can only dream of are still there and make every visit enjoyable and totally relaxing. This year has seen the addition of the new luxury Spinalonga and Mirabello properties. 10 new suites with private pools and beautiful unparalleled views across to Spinalonga and Mirabello. These new properties are a spectacular addition to an already wonderful hotel. Thank you again to Natalia and Kostas and the whole Elounda Heights family (they are much more that a team!). See you again next year :-)"

"Excellent small hotel in central Elounda. Very close to beach, harbour and numerous shops & restaurants. Stayed in spacious studio with 2 balconies both overlooking the pool. Very impressed breakfast (hot & cold) that is served until 11am. Every member of staff we met during our stay were extremely friendly and happy to give advice on where to eat or visit. Super little hotel with very well equipped spacious rooms. Did not give max stars as pool edges had delaminated in places. We were told that the hotel were in discussion with the contractors to get issue fixed over closed season"

★★★★★ 9.3 (69 reviews)

"We just finished a week stay with my pregnant wife and 2.5 year old daughter. As with any holiday with a toddler there are inevitably ups and downs and the EGV team couldn’t have been more considerate, helpful and caring. The chef made delicious off menu pasta and omelettes for our daughter and Athina was incredibly sweet and sensitive at the kids club, doing painting and Easter crafts. George made superb cocktails and mocktails for us and some fresh strawberries for our daughter and Constantinos and the restaurant team couldn’t have been more supportive. Maria and the front desk team were lovely and had lots of very helpful advice and we didn’t have any of the additional charges that other guests have spoken of with the previous management. The lovely warm pool with our room was at no extra charge and the views from it were spectacular. I’d also recommend the beautiful trail walk around the opposite peninsula - Spinalogkas. It’s totally unspoiled and has such a magical feel to it. We had a great trip and would come back again."

"An amazing resort which is being improved considerably. The rooms and restaurants are in the process of upgrade. Staff are incredibly thoughtful and kind. Thank you for the most wonderful holiday! A special thank-you to Amelia, Poppy, Eva and Michalis. We will be visiting again very soon. I highly recommend this resort, especially for families with very young babies."

📍 Emmanouil Pouli, Elounda, Agios Nikolaos
★★★★ 8.3 (53 reviews)

"My wife and I just absolutely adore the serenity of Elounda. Price & Quality is this hotel a true gem! Situated higher up on the mountain, giving you an excellent viewpoint and an unforgettable sunrise experience. The hotel offers a variety of food in buffet style. Besides the main restaurant, we enjoyed the more intimate Raki & Meze Tavern in the hotel or their Greek Grill Restaurant. The All Inclusive package is easy and fair. The staff are really friendly. I would recommend to rent a car if you are an adventerous person. This makes it way easier to go out and do some proper sight-seeing. There are many activities, beaches, small villages and delicous taverns to discover. We feel like this is not the last time that we will be visiting this hotel and this view."

"Lovely hotel, great facilities, lovely staff, but when it gets busy quality of service falls off a cliff. Evening food is always lukewarm, breakfast this morning got no tea or coffee, they ran out of sunbeds one day!!! So chose a quiet time it’ll be great. When busy avoid!!!"

Elounda Living Residences by Ghh Hotels in Elounda

Elounda Living Residences by Ghh

"Lovely villa - exactly as advertised. Great sea views. Clean/large pool - did some proper swimming - villas fully booked but we had pool to ourselves much of the time. Sofia (manager) always contactable via WhatsApp if any issues - very “can do” attitude, so it didn’t matter that there was no reception/bar - it meant the place was really peaceful (no noisy music that you get when there’s a bar). Brunch on our large balcony with sea view everyday - no hurry to get out and about. Recommend villa no.4 for best sea views but villa 5 has more modern air con (ie remote control operated units on each floor, rather than centralised) Thanks for a lovely trip, Sofia and colleagues."

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa Hotels in Elounda

Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort, Six Senses Spa

"If you've never been to Crete, the Elounda Peninsula Resort & Spa alone is reason enough to visit. This sprawling paradise not only sets the standard for luxury resorts but also for hospitality and service. Every staff member, from Stavros and Panos to Klesei, Maria, Jason, Stravola, Alexandros, Nikolas, Giorgios, and Vasia, exuded the kind of warmth and professionalism that turns a stay into an unforgettable experience. The spa is a Six Senses-branded oasis that elevates wellness to an art form. With top-notch therapists and outstanding amenities, it's a sanctuary for both body and soul that stands head and shoulders above most spa experiences. When it comes to dining, every restaurant on the property is a culinary gem. I had the pleasure of visiting during the opening week of their newest addition, SUMOSAN. Tucked away in a quiet alcove of the hotel, this Japanese restaurant offers not just incredible food but an intimate and serene atmosphere as well. However, the crown jewel has to be IL BORRO TUSCAN BISTRO, owned by the world-renowned Ferragamo family. Their truffle pizza alone could easily claim the title of the best in the world. The revamped pool area is another highlight, its seamless landscaping transforming it into a genuine escape. Elies restaurant comes alive at night and is an experience not to be missed—just make sure to pre-order the lobster for the freshest dining experience. Even room service maintains the high culinary standards set by the restaurants, although I would advise against the poke bowls at the pool bar (however the Smoothies are amazing). What sets Elounda Peninsula Resort & Spa apart is its sense of community. Spread across multiple properties, you never feel isolated but always secure and well-taken care of. Whether you opt for a leisurely walk along the gorgeous grounds or a quick golf cart ride, you're always just a moment away from another delightful experience. I sincerely hope this resort gains affiliation with a larger global chain brand or even becomes a Six Senses property in its own right. It deserves a spot on the World's Top Luxury Hotels list without question. It's easily the best hotel in Crete, a top contender in Europe, and outstanding on a global scale. Best regards, Mark Mariano"

"Wonderful relaxing hotel with beautiful beach and a large pool to match. Even when full there is so much space you wouldn’t notice with reserved beach lounges and many other places to be. Every team member strives to give you the best possible stay. Laura from guest experience was brilliant fun and made our second stay here special. A special shout out goes also to Lia and Vassia as they help us book our third stay. Highly recommend."

"We have just returned from another stay at this wonderful hotel - our happy place. Everything about this hotel is of the highest quality but what makes it special and why you want to always return is the warmth and welcome of every single member of staff each of whom makes you genuinely feel special. From the irrepressible Ioanna at Guest Relations, to the stars of the Bar, Giorgios and Thomas. The lovely Michalis at the Beach, the always smiling Solou and the wonderful Reception team. We can't wait to return"

Elounda George Studios Hotels in Elounda

Elounda George Studios

"I stayed at the Elounda George Studios for 6 nights the last week of August, following a stay in Agios Nikaloas where I was all inclusive. I can honestly say, don’t waste your money going AI, self catering is the way to go! Eleni, provides all you need at the Elounda George Studios, plenty of kitchen utensils, cleaning equipment, towels, hair dryer, shampoo, water in the fridge, tea, coffee & milk. Also, a lovely bowl of fruit. The mini mart is a 2 min walk away & provides everything for your stay & open until midnight. I had a ground floor apartment (N.o.5) which was ideal. The balcony had shade in the morning, where I could sit & enjoy my breakfast in the cool as well as ‘people watch’, with passers by, stopping to have a chat. When returning, I could relax watching the sunset behind the olive grove, so peaceful.. Elounda George Studios are ideally situated with a 5 minute walk into the town, where I visited the lovely beach a few times (sunbed & umbrella 6 euros) & opposite a great bar called (Rudis), that does fab food, music & cocktails at reasonable prices, owned by a very friendly Yorkshire guy & his wife. On other days, Eleni recommended her friend's hotel to visit where I could use their pool & have lunch (Hiona Appts), less than 10 minutes walk from EGS, not crowded, with fantastic food & sea views. Elounda George Studios are a find! So clean, accommodating with everything you need, good wifi & the helpfulness & kindness of Eleni to add which is priceless & so appreciated. It’s a gem of a place to stay & I will definitely return. Thank you Eleni!"

Aristea Hotel Hotels in Elounda

Aristea Hotel

"We stayed at Hotel Aristea in Elounda in June and had a really enjoyable and relaxing break overall. We booked a sea view room and it was absolutely worth it. The view across the bay each morning was stunning — sitting on the balcony watching the boats and the calm water was one of the highlights of our stay. The room itself was basic but clean and well maintained, however there was no tea making facilities, which fortunately didn't bother us. The only downside for us was the mattress, which we found a little uncomfortable. However, when we mentioned this to reception, they were very helpful and promptly provided extra bedding to make it more comfortable, which we really appreciated. It’s always reassuring when staff respond positively and try to resolve any issues quickly. Breakfast was simple but fresh and tasty. There was only a small selection to choose from but the quality of the food was good. With a little more attention to presentation it could feel more special, but it certainly set us up well for the day. The location is where this hotel truly shines. It is perfectly positioned right on the waterfront, with restaurants, cafés and shops literally on the doorstep. This was particularly important for my mother who struggles with walking, as we didn’t need taxis or long strolls — everything was within a few steps, which made the whole holiday much more relaxed and accessible for her. Overall, Hotel Aristea offers excellent value in a beautiful setting. With its unbeatable location, stunning sea views and helpful staff, we had a lovely stay and would happily return to Elounda again."

Elounda Orama by Ghh ★★★★
"We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Elounda Orama, we had sea view room in the third block and the view was incredible! Everyone was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay (special thank you to Stavros, Sophia and Costas!). The room was lovely, tidy and cleaned daily. The breakfast and pool bar were also great and the pool bar do a lovely Pina Colada! Only minor complaint would be that there was no wifi throughout our stay due to a fault, they were waiting for a new router which we understand was out of their control, but was a bit costly for us to use our phone data. Otherwise a great stay and would definitely come back!"

Elounda Alikes Suites & Studios ★★★★
"From the moment we arrived, (late at night !) to the moment we left, we were made to feel welcome and at home. We has an apartment on the second floor with a view over the sea which was gorgeous. The apartment itself was simple but incredibly clean and well equipped, with the cleaners coming daily. Nikos is a wonderful host, and was always happy to give us recommendations and advice. The apartments are a lovely 5 minute walk into the town which is full of great cafes and restaurants, and a 5 minute drive to Kolakitha Beach - a beautiful gem of a beach (although not on a Sunday when all the locals go and it becomes very crowded.) The bar in the hotel is calm and tranquil and all the staff go out of their way to look after you. We were only there for a week, but I would happily return and really hope that we will. "

Elounda Heights (Adults Only) ★★★★
"From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had the most breathtaking sea view. Watching the sunsets from our balcony every evening was pure magic. The room was impeccably cleaned every day, and every detail made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you to Natalia and Kostas, who are exceptional hosts. Their warmth, kindness, and personal attention to every guest make this place truly special. On my birthday, they surprised me with a bottle of wine and their thoughtful wishes, which made the day even more memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Elounda Heights to anyone visiting Crete. It is a place filled with warmth, hospitality, and beautiful memories. We will definitely be back!"

"About a week ago we stayed at your hotel at Villa Andros, and the experience was simply wonderful in every aspect! The villa itself was wonderful with a stunning view, the service was exceptional, in short, we already want to go back... A special thank you to the amazing Despina from the reception desk who does everything to help, to the charming Isidor who will always take you to the villa with a smile, to the wonderful George who is in charge of the private beach, and of course to the charming hotel manager Danny who we got to know, and to all the other hotel staff whose names we simply can't remember, thank you all so much for a wonderful vacation"

Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort, Six Senses Spa ★★★★★
"We’ve stayed at Elounda Beach five times over the years, so were slightly nervous about trying somewhere different. In the end, Porto Elounda exceeded our expectations. The biggest difference is the atmosphere. It feels much more relaxed and family-oriented, while still being a genuinely high-quality hotel. Nothing feels forced or overly formal, and we found ourselves unwinding much more quickly than usual. The food was a real surprise. Even the buffet was excellent, with a level of quality and variety you don’t often see. We genuinely looked forward to dinner every evening. A special mention to the manager, who was outstanding throughout our stay. He was always visible, always helpful, and clearly cares about both the guests and the team. That attitude seems to run through the whole hotel. The location is beautiful, the beach is great, and the service was consistently friendly and professional. After five stays at Elounda Beach, I didn’t expect to find a hotel in the area that suited us better, but Porto Elounda probably does. We would happily return."

"We spent 5days with my wife at Elounda Residence hotel. We chose this hotel for its location and amazing views. We stayed in a standard double room with lovely views over the bay of Elounda. The room was cleaned on daily basis and they changed the bed linen every other day. Both breakfast and dinner was very good. Plenty of options and of a good quality. However the most important for us was the friendliness of the staff. Always smiley and ready to help when need it. Highly recommend!"

Elounda Bay Palace, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World ★★★★★
"On paper this looks a great resort, but unfortunately, unless you are spending big money, you don’t get value for it. Many of the staff are very polite and friendly and will go out of their way to help you. In my experience, it was mainly the ladies. Food is good but very expensive for what is offered. If you are unfortunate like I was to end up in the furthest building in the complex, the wi-fi and cell service is awful. The showers are useless, the linen very thin and everything just feels dated, especially compared to other parts of the building. I wouldn’t recommend for families with teenagers as there’s not a lot to do in the day. Little splash pool for toddlers. I just found it very underwhelming. For the cost, there are far better places giving you much better service and facilities."

"We spent two weeks in Crete on our honeymoon, and one of those weeks was at this hotel. It exceeded all of our expectations by far. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and accommodating. The staff were absolutely fantastic. They even surprised us with a small cake wishing us a wonderful honeymoon. The food was amazing, and the pool area was incredible, with comfortable sun loungers and a relaxing atmosphere. There was also a great gym where you could work out outdoors in the shade. This trip deserves all the stars in the world. Thank you for making our honeymoon so special! ❤️"
