Elounda Bay Palace, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World

Goos facilities overall and the private beaches were ideal

Excellent location, very friendly and professional staff, rooms cleaning two times a day, private beach. Very relaxing. And Agios Nikolaos within 10 min of drive if you need some action.

We loved in bay that it was in and the hotel was within walking distance of the town.

Superlative professional and friendly service.

Expedia once again let me down. I use the app for Everything and I expect the app to do the communicating. Not only did the app not alert the hotel- but, like a fool in the middle of the night at 1 am after being lost for an hour and half bc there is no signage in lights on a totally black hilly road- bc Elounda doesn't advertise in lights. The one night cost was worth 150 euro not 275 euro. Though everyone was kind- communication between Expedia and property was zero. Finally at about 1 am I got an email that I had to waste 40 min of my time downloading email confirmations & forwarding on. I am unlikely to return to this property. I was so excited to stay there.

We chose to stay at Elounda to celebrate our mother's 80th birthday. The rooms were wonderful. We had 4 interconnecting rooms with balconies and really good facilities. We chose a half board package which allowed us to take breakfast and dinner on site. The food was good and a reasonable choice was available in all of the restaurants. It became clear that many of the guests were regulars and returned to Elounda each year to enjoy the facilities. I can fully understand why. The beaches are clean and the hotel offers an excellent option for family holidays.

Rather run down hotel, restaurant service is organized chaos. Was very surprised it was part of the Leading Hotels of the World with a 5 star rating. If you are used to luxury, don’t go there.

This hotel was absolutely excellent. I was a little taken back that the taxi ride was €110 one way. Once we got to the hotel it was worth every euro. We had a beautiful room facing the ocean everything about the room was Great Especially the view facing the ocean. The only thing better than the room was the food offerings. My wife is vegan and they made sure every meal she had all the large selection and she couldn’t believe the variety involved. Each night was a different celebration so there was no repetition in the dinner or the breakfast. This beach is the best beach we’ve experienced in our month-long stay in Greece. Powder sand beach, low winds , Plenty of area to find shade. The beach chairs were great and the water was crystal clear very low waves. We cried when we had to leave this hotel the experience was so good. If you are looking for the perfect hotel on Crete this is the location and the hotel you could not do better if you had to.

Beautiful beach, elegant resort, excellent food in the buffet, very pleasant staff, pretty gardens, coffee machine in room, nice little touches throughout - fresh roses in room, waiter push button call from sun loungers.

Excellent holiday in a magical place
