We only tried eating in the casual Greek taverna but felt it was very expensive and lacking atmosphere. Food and drinks in general were very expensive. We preferred to eat in Elounda at night for variety and atmosphere.

The beach is really nice with plenty of sun beds and full drinks and food service at sun beds or in nearby cafe/bar. Views were great from our room, beach and most areas. Our room was lovely and spacious with a huge bathroom and comfortable sitting area and balcony. Breakfast was huge buffet with great choices and there were also pancake and egg chefs. It’s a 25 minute walk to the village of Elounda which has lots of restaurants. Staff were friendly.

As a recommendation, I think that the resort should have, for the hotel part, rooms reserved for adults only. There were also a lot of families with small children and they could create a lot of noise caused by the little ones.

Excellent breakfast As a very good location, the view is incredible. The services offered by the staff, both at the restaurants and at breakfast, were top notch. Among the best services encountered so far. The quality of the food is very good.

We spent five wonderful and unforgettable days at the Elounda beach hotel. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by extremely warm and personable reception and concierge staff. The hotel has amazing landscaping and it feels like you are staying on a private island in your own world. Elounda beach has THE best location on the mirabello bay with the best views of the bay on either side of the hotel. The hotel beaches were one of the biggest attractions for us and they did not disappoint. They have 2 beaches (1 large and 1 small). We loved the small beach which was almost felt like our private beach. The water was great and refreshing and service was excellent. The rooms have amazing views and are very well equipped The hotel has 4 excellent restaurants on the property with excellent quality food and a wide variety and we never felt the need to go anywhere outside for our meals. The restaurant staff was very accommodating with tables with excellent view and great service. There was a special 3 hour Greek BBQ and song and dance night that was one of the highlights for our stay. The veghera bar which is almost in its own rock island and shaped like a ship was favorite place for drinks and cocktails. Overall the staff of the hotel is amazing and super professional and accommodating. They set very high standards and always aim to satisfy their guests Thank you to the Elounda beach staff for making our stay a memorable one.

Restaurants a little old fashioned and uninspiring.

Spacious room, excellent staff, excellent breakfast.

I though the sea front bungalow was in a beautiful location, but the decor and furniture needs a major upgrade, so from that perspective I feel they are overpriced.

I loved the location. The staff are amazing and I believe they make the experience so special. The grounds are lovely and the sea was so clear and stunning. Excellent food offering.

the hotel area is wonderfull. The organization of the Easter celebration was on a high level. The breakfast is very various and delicious. But the breakfast box (in case of early departure) disappointed me. The hotel managment should review the possibility to add hot meal in the box as the package is allowed to do it and the hotel level gives an expectation of such care. But it's just a recommendation. Despite of that our stay was amazing.

All staff is so kind. We have been to all restaurants in the hotel. Each one was of a high standard and was very delicious. Rooms are extra clean. Beach is lovely, and the service is fantastic. We will definitely next year visit and stay more.

Pool was cold. Expensive for what it offered.

Food, the rooms were clean. Staff very friendly.

The description of the hotel does not convey the unsuitability for people with mobility problems and the elderly as far too many steps and slopes and stairs inside. The direction signage around the grounds is insufficient as is the lighting, especially where there is uneven ground and steps. The Argonaut Restaurant was disappointing in so far as several dishes on the menu were not available or poor substitutes and again the desserts poor selection. As one of the Leading Hotels of the World it is somewhat tired and needs updating and refurbishment in places.

All the staff were unfailingly pleasant and helpful and Eleni in the restaurants was outstandingly friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was outstanding with vast selection and the quality of the food in the "best" restaurant was excellent although the choice for dessert was poor. The grounds were well-kept and attractive with plenty of sports activities available and the beach was close and clean as were the beach facilities. The hotel were very obliging in providing rooms near to one another and allowing us late check-out.

If you are looking for modern 5 stars service and standards, this is not the place. Price is 5 stars but service is below in pretty much all aspects. It has some good vibes in a sense that it is the 5 stars of the 80's, which has some charm, but a bit outdated here and there.

The hotel is nicely located next to Elounda, and has a wonderful view on the sea and the rest of the island.

The rooms are antiquated and tired looking. They are a good size but I stayed there 25 years ago and the decor is the same! The shower is old and light switches everything is from the 80’s. It is a great shame. This used to be the place to sty but they have not invested anything into making this hotel one befitting a Leading Hotel of the world. It really is not. The food is mediocre at best. The service simply tragic. They have one wonderful maitre who is running all day like a mad man.

The breakfast was a disaster. There is one person in charge who is wonderful but he cannot possibly deal with all those guests. He has untrained, useless staff who offer no service at all! One coffee machine for the breakfast room! It took forever to order let alone receive your coffee. The lady who did the eggs was the best person plus the Maitre everyone else needs to be trained. It is an insult to call this place a Leading Hotel of the world Hotel. It is not.
