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

The location was perfect - easy walk into the little town of Elounda. On site facilities very good and the staff were really lovely.

Wonderful setting, super friendly staff. Good spa though very pricey, great breakfast and several ok+ restaurants on site. The mark up of wine prices is totally exaggerated (4-5 times supermarket price for identical bottles). Spacious, nice room but overall rather dated.

Absolutely fabulous from arrival.....we were the very first guests at the start of the season and were made to feel like a King and Queen. We have stayed in similar quality hotels in Elounda and this was far superior in every sense. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay extremely pleasurable and memorable and we look forward to visiting you again in the future. We are seasoned travellers especially to Crete as our son lives in Heraklion and this was our best stay ever.

Ok The Hôtel on the whole was pretty good although a 3.5 star with 5 star prices imo . We paid for the most basic room (mountain view) and that is what we got so fair enough.. note to management Angeliki should be washing pots and not dealing with customers in jet bar !! I think she has had a personality bypass (not just one day.. every day) also the golf buggy driver that looks like mr Bean was very rude... having said that all other staff were very good friendly and professional. beach Was great :) you could probably get a adult only area would be good idea. Situation of the hotel is fantastic only a 10 min walk into Elounda. And on the way are shops where you can buy cheap water etc (instead of £2 in minibar ) we did get fresh flowers in the room and a bottle of wine on arrival which was a nice touch. Dinner in what we affectionately referred to as “the cantina” was acceptable at best (staff were very good) but chef needs to try and decide what food items work well together ! As in beef wellington was great but very odd things to go with it ... we found it odd that in Greece there was no Greek food (ie moussaka kleftiko kopo lamb Slovaki ) the Thassala restaurant was very good and definitely 5 star and worth the extra money..

I can recommend this hotel. It's in a great location with really helpful staff. We went sea kayaking which was perfect from the hotel beach.

The most beautiful Hotel we have ever seen! Professional and friendly staff!

A beautiful resort and an incredible staff. Second year in a row with you, my room was not as nice as the one that I had last year but your staff, a few of them imparticular, made our stay at EBP unforgettable and very enjoyable. We added a night & were there a total of 3 this year, went many places in Crete but saved the best for last & stayed at EBP our 3 final nights in Crete. Such a beautiful island and such incredibly kind locals in the towns here as well as at your resort.

Staff were amazing, friendly and hospitable. Resort was gorgeous. Food was spectacular and plentiful at the buffet. Location was far from port but we cannot afford to fly in on a private helicopter, for which they have a landing pad. Staff treat all guests as if they could afford it however. Lovely place and worth the drive from Chania. Or better to land in Heraklion.

This was our first time in Elounda so we were excited about our upcoming stay. This is a resort hotel and yes it's a beautiful place just not for us. It's more of a family resort as there's nothing for couple's like us not traveling w children to do. If you choose their included dinner buffet there are kids running around everywhere. If you rather go to their other restaurants instead of the buffet you get 30 euros credit each but reservations are a most. We tried that & I can tell you that they are not needed, the restaurant was empty as most guest go to the buffet. At the Japanese restaurant the 60 euros credit you get doesn't get you much plates are very small and quite pricey. We asked if there was a town nearby with restaurants and hopefully other things for us to do but they don't reccomend it. Of course they rather keep you in the resort. Thankfully we went anyway and just a 10 min drive we found what was a great little fishing village, great restaurants and cute shops!! There also is the town of Agios Nickolos about a 30 min drive much bigger a lot more restaurants and shops. Agian I'm not saying it's bad all I'm saying is that it's a family resort, very quite and I don't reccomend it for couples. We would have much rather stayed in town and the restaurant "The Ferryman" that was reccomended by local shop owners did not disappoint!!

We had a fantastic stay at the Elounda Bay Palace. Excellent facilities, attentive/ pleasant staff, and a well planned resort. Hotel is in close proximity to local stores where stocks of water etc can be purchased. Great environment for families, the private beaches are well kept and not too crowded. Dining facilities give variety. Buffet dinner in the main restaurant each evening was well prepared, and breakfast was a wide choice of local and international dishes. How could they improve? Provision of complimentary water for all guests! Overall, a highly recommended choice. Would be happy to stay there again.
