Having just spent 12 days at Elounda Beach Hotel, the thing that stood out for us were how friendly and helpful the staff all were (special about out to Apostolos the concierge who booked restaurants, our transport and also tickets to Santorini- nothing was ever too much!). Our room was a stunning waterfront ambassador suite. The balcony was directly over the sea, with access to the water and uninterrupted views (picture is view from our balcony). Truly stunning (and part of a free upgrade - thank you Elounda!). The hotel are also smart in allocating the same beach sun beds for your entire stay - which means there no need to worry about grabbing a bed each morning - although I would say there is no shortage of sun beds across the resort. The general grounds are green and well landscaped, and everywhere you are you can pretty much see the sea. If I were to give any feedback to the hotel, it would be that for the price of the stay (which is definitely in the higher price range) they need to update their communal areas that are a bit dated and old ( reception, pool area and bar). It just wasn’t in keeping with some of the newer parts. I also think there was a lack of activities for kids (other than the very expensive watersports) even though there were volleyball courts, football and tennis courts. I would also suggest having more themed nights with different foods - the only one we saw was the Greek night once a week. There is also a stunning bar that is positioned right out in the water, but was almost always empty. The hotel could have made this a real feature if they had put on some live music, or happy hour, but they didn’t and as a result it was lacking in ambiance or atmosphere. Overall we had a lovely stay and loved our room. I am not sure we would go back at that price again with the hotel in its current state, however I cannot fault the staff or location (elounda and the surrounding areas are awesome). Love Crete and will go again for sure.
