Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only, hotel in Elounda

Built amphitheatrically on a hillside of Elounda, beachfront Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only offers a view of Elounda bay and the island of Spinalonga.

Our room was spectacular. Room 376 the penthouse. The only thing I would change is addition of a plunge pool. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly and overall we had a wonderful stay, but it was largely due to the room we had.

Elounda George Studios, hotel in Elounda

Elounda George Studios is located in Elounda, just a 14-minute walk from Elounda Beach and 0.8 miles from Skisma Beach. Featuring sea and mountain views, this apartment also features free Wifi.

We have just returned from a wonderful time at Elounda George Studios. They are in a perfect location which is gloriously peaceful and quiet but within an easy walk to everything and we especially enjoyed the walk along the sea each evening passing all the restaurants along the waterfront. Our room was on the top floor and looking out to olive trees with the sea in the distance. It was light, bright and spacious with everything you need including a huge comfy bed, well equipped kitchenette and a modern ensuite with great shower. Also, loved the really comfortable chairs on the balcony to relax and chill. During our stay we had a medical emergency in which we needed urgent help. One message to Eleni was all it took for her to ring me straight back, organize a taxi to the hospital and was in constant contact with me offering translation service etc. Her kindness and attention throughout our stay was extraordinary and she is the ultimate host to make sure everyones holiday is the best possible. These apartments are incredible value for money and come highly recommend. I would return anyday.

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!

Wow wow wow. If you are looking for paradise in Crete, this is it. The service from the incredible staff at the hotel is absolutely incomparable.

    Dimitris, the host, was just lovely. So friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our holiday home was extremely well equipped with nice touches like phone chargers and hairdryer provided. I think Dimitris had thought of everything. The location was ideal being a short walk from the harbour but peaceful and the accommodation was spotlessly clean. We loved everything about the Lemon Tree.
