Elounda Gulf

The location is amazing, the people working in the hotel are hospital, generous, incredible. George, the manager in the restaurant - he is sameone who will absolutely go extra miles to make guests happy. The villa itself has everything you need - starting from the kitchen appliances and utensils and finishing with the pool with salty water and wonderful view. The food is delicious and the nature is beautiful. Minuses: if you take full board - be ready that the menu in the restaurant is the same, it doesn’t change and the choice is limited. If you go for 3 days - it is fine, but If it is a week or more - you will be bored with the same food if not slightly irritated. George and the team will do everything to diversify your meals though. The beach - it is 15 minutes of drive by a comfy minimus. However the beach is small, the bottom is not pleasant at all, covered with stones. There are beautiful beaches at the Crete but without care it can be complicated to travel. The villa is amazing, although it is quite costly and, to be honest, needs some repairing works, particularly the bathrooms. It feels like the hotel needs a more committed senior management who would take good care of the hotel employees and the guests. Specials thanks to the employees of the hotel and to George in particular who love their motherland and are committed to what they do, for making our stay joyful. All the best!

Superb hospitality, Despina and all her colleagues made sure we are happy and content. recommending the sea front villa for families and friends looking for a place to themselves. We were a family of 7, 5 adults, 17 and 12. we stayed 2 nights in the sea front villa. this is a PERFECT villa. spacious, clean, beds everything is just great, and George took care of any thing we needed (he is in charge of the beach). most of the time we have the private beach to ourselves. we played football on the huge lawn, drinks by the private pool. take note that the main hotel is a 12 minute drive. We took a breakfast only to avoid driving few times and back to the hotel. We played tennis and padel in the Golf hotel next to the hotel with assistance with the reservation via the hotels reception. the SPA is small but facilities work perfect. the Gym is very small and has a limited amount of possibilities. still we had the place to ourselves which was very good. Best coffee we had in Crete (from the bar). breakfast was very good, not a huge buffet like you see in the big hotels, however was very high quality like we had our table waiting for us, fresh self squeezed orange juice, huge omelet.

The villa ok, the view magical. The villa was cheaply equipped, for example lacked wine opener, toaster and other things that can be expected in eb villa with 5star mother. The hotel was very off. No safe opportunities for walks but you were completely dependent on taxis. The gym also minimally equipped. The beach that was offered took about 20 minutes by shuttle, cheap food but good drink. No place to long. We're not going back here. Do not think this is up to scratch for small luxury group. The hotel description promised great words that I do not think they lived up to.
