Elounda itself has many hotels so the views to left and right include other hotels

The family room for the four of us was comfortable and very spacious with nice Cretan decoration despite that it’s a large facility, it was cozy. The staff was nice. Nice quick drive into Agios Nikolas.

Lovely and lovingly done hotel. Everything was perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. Easy to get to Elounda and Plaka villages, for great fish. Breakfasts boasted a wide array of options, alongside a menu of cooked items to choose from. Recommend the bungalow with pool.

We stayed in a pool bungalow and it was incredible. We had planned to go to Spinalonga, but didn’t want to leave after we saw it. Beautiful 5* resort with amazing views.

Any property as spread out and on the sea will have challenges. This group rises to overcome all of them so the guest is not impacted.

Besides being in one of the most beautiful settings in the world, the staff is the most accommodating and welcoming we have found anywhere, at any level. They will know you by name and go out of their way to ensure your comfort.

Would have loved for the private pool to have been heated, but we certainly used it anyway! Small shower..

The staff was amazing. They were so kind and attentive. Our suite was beautiful with a wonderful pool with a beautiful view of the ocean and the mountains of Crete. We loved the architectural character’ of the property. There were so many offerings we did not even get to use, but we are sure they are done with excellence.

This was an absolute dream location for our wedding anniversary and the staff of the Elounda Mare made it so special for us in every possible way. This is definitely a Relais and Chateaux member. Our bungalow with the private pool was a heaven‘s nest with a breathtaking view, all beautifully decorated. Well thought-through interior with features that make your stay very enjoyable (pool can be heated, nice lights, nice light fixtures and lamps all over, shower with features, towel heater, Nespresso, smart pad with newspapers, W-Lan worked without problems). The whole ground is like a crete village, with a lot to discover and beautiful spots everywhere. Wonderful architecture. Very well kept and maintained. All very elegant, main building interior of reception and bar reminds of Frank Lloyd Wright; the view over the sea is breathtaking. Beautiful gardens, large outdoor pool and sandy beach with crystal clear water and wonderful possibility to swim from one beach to another sunbathing spot. Watersport can be easily rented. All pools are ecofriendly filled with saltwater. Tennis and golf can be played. Six senses spa can be visited (extra charge)in the other Elounda next door. Restaurants can be found on ground or reachable by water taxi, which is in our opinion the most wonderful way to start your dinner. The crew was exceptional friendly. On ground the restaurant Old Mill outshines, it is haute cuisine at its finest. We have to mention again the outshining and excellent treatment of us as customer from the whole staff, starting at the shuttle which one can rent and who takes you from the airport to the hotel and back, to the always helpful reception (thank you again Vassilis), the housekeeping, the shuttle services, the breakfast and restaurant staff until the wonderful barkeeper. You all made our stay a dream come true - thank you!

The breakfast is exceptional, with local herbs, cheeses and oil plus a huge variety of "international" food. The staff are attentive but not overbearing. The clientele were also polite.

For a five star hotel, the beds were hard and uncomfortable, so we were surprised. We asked for a mattress topper, which helped some, but compared to other beds during our Greek travels, they were not good. Also the furniture in the room was rather dated. Everything else was fabulous!

Good buffet breakfast with an option to order entrees. Staff were stellar, extremely helpful and attentive. Big room with our own pool and a great view of the ocean. The spa was wonderful, a beautiful space with a salt water pool.

Breakfast excellent in offering and service. Staff throughout friendly and helpful. Special tribute to Eleni Vlassi in reservations and Vassilys at front desk.

Nothing much really. Only thing is a constant noise in the room, probably from the swimming pool water pump or some machine.

Super friendly staff. Location. With two other partner hotels in Relais and Chateaux with more dining options there and complimentary shuttle between them is a big bonus.
