Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass, hotel in Elounda

Located just a short stroll from the sea in Elounda, the family-run property offers stylish villas with a private pool, and individually decorated luxury suites with Cretan Sea or garden views.

Everyone was nice but the kitchen staff was spectacular. The star of the show in my opinion was Manos, who seemed to be the head waiter. His simple presence uplifted the entire restaurant. His wording, even in a second language, made the atmosphere graceful and you felt provided for without pretention. So much warmth and so professional. The waitress Sofia would pick up crying children (with approval of parents of course) and welcome everyone warmly. The food of course was also good, as well as the rest of the staff. thank you!

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection, hotel in Elounda

The 5-star Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection offers luxurious accommodations with spa bath overlooking the Unesco-protected island of Spinalonga and its Venetian castle.

The rooms were gorgeous, almost as gorgeous as the view. One of the most gorgeous and scenic views I have ever seen. The staff could not have been more friendly. From the Guest Relations Staff, particularly Ina, to the absolutely lovely, helpful and service oriented house keeping staff. Special shout out to the restaurant workers who dealt with everything with a smile.

    Elounda is a compact small town on a beautiful sheltered bay. Easy to walk around to visit shops and the many restaurants, tavernas and cafes. In high season it's very much a resort but it's also really nice to visit it out of season, when it's just a working town. There are expensive resorts and hotels outside the main town and it's obvious that there is sufficient income for the local authorities to keep the roads, pavements, infrastructure, etc., well maintained, unlike some other places on Crete.

    Would be a charming town if not sooo many tourists who are being brough to Elounda with big busses to do boat tours. Above has impact on prices and daily routine in the town, leaving little space for Cretean live-style.

    Elounda is a great place - very pretty, everything you need is within walking distance - you dont really need a car. Beaches are close by, or you can walk further out to them. Bars and restaurants all around - some cheap and cheerful, some traditional some finer dining - but all are excellent. You can get boats from the harbour/port to various places. Lots of places to visit - Spinalonga, Ag Nik, Heraklion, museums etc Also if you like walking - there are a lot of options around the peninsula and along to Plaka. It isnt cheap but isn't expensive. There are A LOT of English people who go to Elounda (regularly) - but its not full of sports bars or English breakfast places! A really good place for a first timer to Crete or Greece. Everybody is friendly and its a very chilled out place.

    Elunda is a little fishing village that has grown with the tourist industry, loads of taverna's and restaurants easily keep you going for two weeks, some nice bars as well. We go in May or September, September is still up to 30 deg and the sea is lovely and warm, it is a lot quieter and relaxing with older people being the main tourists. The town has two good beaches, It overlooks a bay that is guarded by Spinalonga Island formerly a leaper colony and before that a Venetian fort, worth a visit by boat from the harbour. Along the coast a couple of miles in a Taxi is Placa a charming place to have a meal or a drink in the evening, has some very good restaurants with a beautiful view of Spinalonga. The other side of Elunda is a large town of Agios Nikolaos Lots of shops and things to see even more restaurants. We hired a car for a few days and went out and about there are a few interesting arclogiclde sites within an hours radius, Kritsais a very old village inland up in the hills, it is worth a visit with lots of craft shops and taverna's and nice views, We have been to Elunda 4 times and will go back next year hopefully.

    The holiday homes are cultured, there are no vendors on the beach, or loud music. There are a lot of rocks in the sea and the fishes are biting :D, so it's worth wearing water shoes. It's a calm and clean city, the locals are nice, the food and drinks are amazing, they give you big portions. There is a lot of wind in Elounda, but Plaka is really windy. There is some nightlife in the bars, but nothing rough. The vacation here is relaxing and pleasant.

    Elounda is outstanding.A number of restaurants are on jetties streching out into Elounda bay. The Blue Sea Cretan Cuisine and seafood restaurant located in front of my hotel was fabulous! Exceptional food and service at great prices. Elounda and Spinalonga is full of lovely local shops selling beautiful items, many hand made. The local people I found to be warm and welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of available sunbeds on the sea front. I felt no need to go anywhere else as I was staying for 1 week, although there were boat trips on offer along the sea front. I did get the bus to Agios Nikolaus for 1euro 80 each way around 20 minutes from Elounda.

    The pictures don't do this place justice. From the moment you arrive till the moment you leave, you are treated like royalty. The view from this place is breathtaking. It overlooks the city center of Elounda. The breakfast is tasty and generous. The staff are extremely nice, polite and helpful. The location is perfect, even though it's located on a small hill, it's only 5 minutes away from the city center where all of the restaurants are located. I highly recommend this place is you're looking for a quiet place to stay.

    Beautiful looking hotel that didn’t feel too big, the lovely olive trees and surroundings made it feel authentic and traditional all whilst being a modern 5 star resort. The rooms were thought out well and we were lucky enough to be high up so the view was incredible. The staff were so hospitable and friendly and always smiling, they were very accommodating for anything you required. The shuttle to and from the beach/town runs from 7-23:00, which was amazing to get up the hill after a night out!

    Location was great. Right on the beach, but if you walk 100ft south the beach is much better. You can walk easily to restaurants, caffes and the local marina. The room was very spacious. We had 2 separate rooms, a kitchen and 2 balconies. The place was very quiet (but plenty of cicadas all over crete). The windows were sound proof! The kitchen was great. The ac was perfect. The beds were more comfortable then most hotels. Highly recommended!!! Free parking on site.

    It is extremely difficult for me to say what I liked the most. I would say that Elounda Color Apartments has that something that many hoteliers don't have: Modernly furnished, spacious apartments that provide you with absolutely everything you need, cleanliness, quiet, excellent breakfast (with 100% homemade products), strictly traditional and a staff that you rarely meet. We were sorry to leave, but we promised ourselves that we will return in the following years.

    We had a large bungalow, two bathrooms, separate living area, just a few metres from the pool, 50/60 metres from the beach. It was fantastic. The location is great, walkable into Elounda and a short bus/taxi/drive into Agios Nikolaos. Wonderful staff, very clean hotel with a beautiful beach area. Quiet location, nice restaurant and a lovely beach bar for a late night cocktail. We knew it would be good, it was better than expected

    Beautiful hotel, clean and spacious rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. We had a wonderful stay at Elounda Heights and particularly enjoyed the views, the lovely gardens, pool and comfortable sun loungers, the delicious breakfasts and the calm and relaxed atmosphere. We only had one dinner here, but the food was delicious all freshly prepared and probably the best we had on our whole trip! We look forward to a return visit!

    centrally located for sure. rooms are a bit small nowhere to put big luggage. breakfast was okay, eggs were always cold but if you ask for fresh eggs Sofia always cooked fresh ones. we had Sofia cook us a meal (1pm lunch)before our departure and it was delicious. if your looking for luxury this hotel is not for you but if your looking for clean and centrally located it’s definitely for you very small quaint very Grecian hotel.

    The hotel was clean, the room was nice. It’s located right at the (private) beach and you don’t hear any noise from the streets around you. We didn’t hear our neighbors from our room. The breakfast (especially the fresh orange juice) is one thing to look forward to! The staff is kind and welcoming and they try their best to keep everyone safe in times like these. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the hotel :)

    This was a large and specious luxury villa. The owner did his best to make us feel welcome from the moment he greeted us to the moment we said goodbye. For most of our stay, he was never too far away (in the basement apartment) and always available to answer questions or provide anything we were missing.

    Very well situated with beautiful view of the sea and surrounding Elounda, we had available everything we needed and even forgot to bring ourselves. Rira our host was extremely kind offering us a lift to the property from nearby Elounda amongst other things. Fantastic place to stay when visiting Crete!
