Modern facilities with a near by shop. We loved how friendly everyone was here. We felt like a part of community. Amazing people! We miss them dearly.
Beautiful clear waters, mountains on one side, turquoise water on the other one.

The staff at kochilas was friendly and accommodating! The rooms are quaint and small but it's no problem because if you're booking a room near elafonisi beach, you probably will spend all of your time at the beach! I'd also recommend visiting white lake too.
Located 2625 feet from Elafonissi Beach, Lafo Rooms offers accommodations with a balcony, as well as a garden and a terrace.

Great location! Perfect for exploring Elafonisi beach. Small but we only stayed one night so perfect for us. The host was super helpful with our schedule… checking/checking out.
Elafonisi is the most overrated beach in Crete.
Super crowded. The sand is not pink. It's a normal sand. The beach resorts are expensive, usually they are full and the chairs are attached. On top of that, you need to walk 20 minutes to reach the sea.

Breathtaking natural lagoon which everyone is coming to enjoy. Get here before the buses arrive at 10 am or come after 4pm when buses leave otherwise I think it is too crowded. Consider staying overnight at Lafo Rooms.

Elafonisi Beach, with its unique pink sand, is undeniably stunning. However, during the day it can become extremely crowded, making it challenging to find sunbeds. Nevertheless, as the day transitions into evening, the beach becomes quiet, serene, and free from crowds, allowing you to fully appreciate its true beauty, especially during the magical moments just before sunset.

What a ZOO!!!
What a ZOO!!! It’s mid October and the place is still super crowded. Cannot even begin to imagine the crowds in July or August.
Crowds aside… it is an amazing place… beautiful, clear water.. great for young families. One can find a bit of privacy across the water on the spot.

A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete...
A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete so far. It is also a very valuable and protected natural site. The beach offers a very varied environment. There is classic seating on the shore under umbrellas and bars. Towards the sea you can enjoy the shallow beach and the sea waves. On the other side there is a quiet shallow lagoon with several islets and a sand spit connecting the coast with the island of Elafonisi. The lagoon is just a paddle away. If you go further, the other side of the island is again washed by the sea and there is also quite a nice snorkeling environment. Because of the size and ruggedness of the place, you can easily find a space for yourself. But there are a lot of people. There is little shade on the spot, so the more experienced ones will occupy the better spots first thing in the morning. It's good to have something to protect you from the sun. You have to go back to the beginning for drinks and toilets, so count on that. Plenty of space to park on site, just the last stretch is not a groomed road so watch your tyres.
It was very close to Elafonisi paradise beach, moreover the structure was surrounded by olive trees.
The room was comfortable, with all the provided tools such as phondryer and towels.
Wonderful the little terrace to have a rest.
The owner very gentle to leave us some breakfast solutions with soluble coffee, thè and something to eat.
The owner helped us even changing a not functioning bathroom light bulb, the day after the request.
Finally a tiny mini market can be found just under the structure as well as excellent restaurants nearby.
Fab rooms within walking distance of Elafonisi Beach - both rooms spotlessly clean with en-suite shower/toilet (plenty of hot water). Fully equipped with fridge, kettle, cups, glasses, tea, coffee, sugar, bottled water - with a great mini-market/coffee shop (with friendly and helpful staff, fresh food, bread, sandwiches and home-made spinach pies, fruit, dairy, souvenirs) right across the road. Stelios, the owner, could not have been more helpful and attentive - an absolutely brilliant stay and I will stay here again.
I would consider this property as a hidden gem. The 1st impression looking the exterior may not be very good, but our apartment was perfect, well equipped(incl. Also a nespresso machine) and clean. The bathroom spacious and recently renovated. The sunset view from the balcony was amazing. Pretry convenient location for Elafonisi beach and Kedrodasos. Although the area seems a bit isolated, there are few nice restos. Good Vfm.
The Apartment was very clean, spacious and modern. The host welcomed us with a homemade dessert and nice amenities inside the room. The attention to detail and the genuine hospitality was exceptional. There is not much around in this area but we felt that the location was perfect close to Elafonisi beach. Thank you for a great stay.
We loved our stay here. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with excellent outdoor areas. The views from the room are beautiful. We loved the area, a few nice tavernas near by and some lovely little walks around. Elafonisi beach is just 5 mins down the road. Drive down early to beat the buses!
Nice place, with well-equipped, clean and comfortable rooms. Quite calm, with very good location to reach Elafonisi beach. Nice tavernas around just a few minutes away by walking. The woman who met us was very kind and welcoming, and same goes for the host who we communicated with via Booking.
Couldn’t have found a better place to stay close to the marvel that is Elafonisi. The house had all the comforts and we were treated like v. i.p.’s (Crete has the nicest people!)
Do not miss this incredible place. And go explore the wonders all around gorgeous Elafonisi
Good location. Close to Elafonissi beach. Good for a family of 5 (2 adults/3 older teens). Nice that they provided fruit and water and cookies when we arrived. Parking available in front. You can’t see the sea from there but it’s a short drive to Elafonissi.
very warm welcome with a fridge full of fruits and drinks and everything you need in the house (coffee, salt, pepper, seasoning, soap, laundry etc..) the location is perfect with nice tavernas around and the lovely Elafonisi beach. great spot !
It was very clean and all newly renovated.. Check in at the Mini market was friendly and handy for buying a picnic for the beach. The location was good for walking to the beach and the parking was excellent . The price Mae it very attractive.
I have already stayed at Elafonisi Beach resort several times because I know the accomodation is to a very high standard. The family and staff are very helpful and do all they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
We liked the location - very closed to the beach. The room/bathroom looked to be new - AC working very well. The view from the garden is amazing, full of fruits and flowers and an outdoor shower.
The hotel makes it very easy to stay as you don’t have to go anywhere, everything you need/want is already there. EXCELLENT Location, restaurant was superb and beach was best I’ve ever been to.
The house is very cute, very new and nicely designed. Hosts are super friendly, we felt like visiting family!
Location is great is you are planning to visit Elafonisi beach by car.
Location is awesome, you can be at the beach before anyone else so that is great! There are 3-4 restaurants and one of them is right next to the rooms, so it's very convenient.
great location! 8-10' from Elafonisi & Kedrodasos beaches by car. we wanted it for the location and we were happy with all of it! bathroom in excellent condition.
