Elounda Blue Bay

Domes Aulus Elounda. The hotel is beautiful, the location is fantastic, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable, clean, and well maintained, and the food was excellent with plenty of choices. Everything was organized perfectly, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our holiday. We would definitely recommend Domes Aulus Elounda and would love to visit again!

We stayed 9 nights at Domes Aulus Elounda in September. There were real highlights: the food was good, the pools were clean, and the view is unparalleled. Unfortunately, several issues outweighed them. The resort sits on such a steep slope that walking around isn't practical, and we often waited up to 30 minutes in the sun for the shuttle, even outside peak season. There was no drinks service at the pool, so every drink meant a trip to the bar, which isn't what you expect from an all-inclusive. The beach toilet was dirty and poorly maintained. Evenings were very quiet for guests in their 20s–30s, with little to do after 8–9pm. The open-air cinema ran only one or two films during our whole stay. Great setting, but we won't be coming back.

A great stay here, a special first time to Crete. The staff at the hotel are exceptional, and nothing felt too much trouble. We felt very welcomed from the beginning. Hotel has good facilities to offer including a spa and gym on site. The views here are stunning, hotel is situated on a steep hill so be aware if you struggle with mobility. We would recommend the upgrade to the cool living section situated at the top of the hotel where the infinity pool is located and Greco levante restaurant, well worth experiencing it! The hotel is also spotless, housekeeping also does a very good job. We were very satisfied with our stay and it was truly memorable!
