The location of the hotel was great, an easy walk into Elounda. Felt very safe. The breakfast choice was amazing and all beautifully presented. The staff were very attentive, clearing plates etc. immediately. Our room was excellent, I had booked a room with its own private pool. The room was very big and airy. The pool was super with a view over the lagoon. The bed was very comfortable and the water always nice and hot in the shower. The towels were great quality.

A quiet location a couple of miles from the main town Elounda, the breakfast was fabulous, and varied with choices of full English, Mediterranean or Greek, the staff were helpful and friendly without exception. Great views over Elounda and Spinalonga Islands. There is also a small gym, bar and pool table, which we didn't make use of but good to know we could if we wanted.
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.

Elounda is a very relaxing place with everything...plenty of boat trips for fishing and ferries to Spinalonga. Beach and restaurants within walking distance with plenty of places to sit for those not just as mobile. There are buses to travel to Plaka and Nicos Longa. There is also a small tourist train that takes you on a trip up to the mountains .

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.
We visited Elounda for a short business trip and found Alikes as it was recommended on TripAdvisor. What can I say, amazing hotel. The view from the balconies is breathtaking! All rooms are 5*, I cannot understand the 3* rating on booking. The mattresses are very comfortable, they look like they are brand new and probably they are because the toilet is recently renovated too with full amenities. Everything we asked we had it from the reception girls, they are very kind and smiling. For sure we will be back as soon as possible. Bravo Alikes!
Olive Grove is in the perfect location for the beach and for looking around Elounda and the surrounding area. The apartments were clean, spacious, with balconies and air con. The owners and staff were exceptional. So welcoming and friendly and fun. Julia even bought my mum flowers for her birthday. We felt safe and very comfortable. The pool was perfect too. I can't wait to go back. The perfect introduction to Crete. I can't thank the Olive Grove team enough for making our family holiday the best. Xxx
The villa is brand new and we had the privilege of being the first guests. The finish is exceptional and the location absolutely great, just a short walk from the beautiful Elounda town. Our holiday was made even better by Vasia who manages the villa, anything we needed was provided and we had local advice on where to go, where to eat and she booked our excursions. We will definitely be returning next year. Special thanks to Vasia and her family for making our time on Crete so perfect.
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.
Absolutely fabulous would highly recommend. Great location with views to spinalonga island. Staff are beyond friendly. We stayed in a bungalow and it was perfect. We went for the half board option, great selection from three restaurants. We especially loved the Asian restaurant. Great cocktails at both beach bar and hotel bar. We hired a car and did the richtis Gorge hike, visited Agios nikolaos and also walked to kolokitha beach which is near Elounda.
The Hotel is a boutique resort, lovely place, magnificent service of Ritza that took care of us even after she was at home on her free time (sent as a lot of suggestions of places to visit).
The owner, Kostas was also so kind and served us the tasty breakfast that Natalia, his wife, prepared for us.
We would like to come back.
(The driving uphill isn't for the faint of heart, because there is a sharp turn while driving the steep hill ).
Our host met us at the port to give us a rundown on the check in and location of the property while we were getting our rental car. The location is just up the hill behind central Elounda and has amazing views of the sea from the rooftop! The full kitchen was nice as we could cook when we wanted to and it was very quiet at night time. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area.
Our stay at Domes Aulus Elounda was absolutely fabulous! Our room was beautiful and the facilities at the hotel were great.
All the staff were amazing a big thank you to Zoe from Guest Relations and Nikos who went out of their way to make our stay special.
We will definitely visit this hotel again and Elounda as there is so much to explore in this beautiful part of the world.
I visited 3 years ago and the hotel has changed a lot after a major renovation.
Elounda has many beautiful hotels but the main reason we always book the Elounda Peninsula is for the location of its suites. Where ever you are located you have totally privacy but within 2 minutes you have easy access to all facilities.
Definitely recommended.
Relaxing,clean and well maintained 4* hotel offering magnificent views of Elounda.
Pool was a nice surprise!!
Few minutes drive far from anything you might need ,but far enough to keep the nights quiet and relaxing!!
Staff was amazing, very welcoming and helpful!!
Special thanks to the bar staff, keep up the good work !!!
Location and view were excellent. elounda and Agios Nikolaus were super close by. The size of the villa was great too- we hardly used all of it. Michaelis was a lovely person who gave us many good recommendations for the area—just not a good house manager.
expectations are met only at the entrance to the lobby of this very dated hotel. in fact the only thing they were concerned about spending money was the lobby furniture. then you go up the stairs to get to the room. it all ends there.
The staff were friendly but not sure some of them cared much about the guests. The hotels location was a short walk to the centre of Elounda. It was always possible to get a sun bed by the pool and Elounda itself it very pretty.
The hotel and the room were beautiful, the staff was great, and all the facilities were wonderful. There was food and drinks at the private beach, so you didn't have to take them from the hotel.
The view is everything as it is perched above Elounda. The location is great if you have a vehicle…Agios Nikolaus on one side and Elounda in the other.
