Elounda Peninsula Luxury Resort

From beginning to end the experience was amazing. Picked up at airport before baggage claim / the gentleman collected our cases & escorted us to car. Car journey spot on / we were given water & asked if we were comfortable & we needed air adjusting. Reception at hotel was first class exceptional welcome & guide around (I think we were first guests of the season) the room was 2 levels was spotless, the bed amazing oversized superking with fab linens choice of pillows & plentiful towels. House keeping fantastic with very polite staff. Pool spotless / not heated but not too cold. We were b&b and breakfast was very very good with great panoramic views of the peninsular. Again all staff in dining room attentive & nothing was a problem. We dined in the Italian restaurant on site (although we were desperate for Greek food) & the staff were exceptional. The food excellent. We only dined there once as we really wanted Greek food , so got a taxi every evening to the village where there is a huge choice of restaurants with really relaxed atmosphere. On the morning of leaving we checked out with ease even though very early they picked our bags up & had prepared us a ‘packed breakfast’ for our journey! Unexpected but very welcomed as we had a long boat journey. |First class hotel a pleasure to visit & a definate re visit & recommendation.

The Elounda Peninsula offers a luxurious and relaxing getaway in Crete with elegant villas, each equipped with private pools and terraces. There is also an exceptional spa and a number of fine dining restaurants, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and celebration.| |The service is exceptional, and the staff are friendly and accommodating – nothing is too much trouble, and they will all go the extra mile to make your stay special. We were greeted warmly with a short tour of the facilities with suggestions of what the hotel could help with should we wish to explore some Crete delights – which we did. The hotel arranged a driver and transport for us at our request to allow for a more relaxed tour of the Knossos Palace and the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, which is around an hour from the hotel but well worth the trip. ||My wife and 2 adult daughters stayed in a Presidential Villa, which was spacious and beautifully furnished. When we walked into the terrace area, I was impressed by the overall space on offer, across three levels and with steps leading down to a private (rocky) sunbed spot just a few feet from the sea.||My family enjoys fine dining, and we were well look after in this area. Breakfast was leisurely and delicious in the Calypso Restaurant with a la carte choices rather than the buffet style that’s often provided these days. Panos and his team were warm and inviting providing a great start to each and every day. We only went to 2 of the restaurants available, these being Sumosan and Il Borro and both are outstanding. Il Borro is a Tuscan Bistro styled restaurant situated on the waterfront and next to the small harbour of the hotel. The dishes on offer reflect the style and taste of the Tuscan region but be warned that if you order the T-bone Fiorentina steak you will need to share with someone – it’s huge! Sumosan is part of the world-renowned group and is exceptional. The restaurant is tucked away on the peninsula overlooking the Aegean sea on a rocky outcrop which adds to magic of this restaurant. On a few nights it was a little windy and the sea was a little ‘frisky’ so if you sit at a table close to the sea you might get an occasional small splash, but this just added to the theatre of the place and our enjoyment. Panos, the manager and Dzanos were on hand to offer suggestions and to help us explore the exceptional wines that Greece has to offer. My tastebuds were delighted by a number of very fine wines and I’m grateful for their knowledge and efforts to make our dining experience exceptional, which it was.| |The spa services were also exceptional; you will be impressed by the grandeur and serenity that exists in this facility. My daughters, wife and I enjoyed a few massages and other spa services on offer, whilst also enjoying a relaxed swim in the pool overlooking the bay with the Aegean Sea beyond. I would definitely suggest that the use of the Spa should be part of any stay here.| |All in all, delightful staff and a heavenly place; an affordable and accessible paradise. I’m already looking forward to our next stay here!

Wonderful hotel! Great food, great views !!! great room, great service from genuinely nice local people! The water sports activities were brilliant to keep the kids occupied. We also played family tennis, paddle, pickleball and golf. Our meal at sumosan was very special - like an Ibiza esque experience. But equally we had some good taverna style food in Elouda town (Despina, Ferryman and lotus eaters). We chartered the blue yacht for half a day, and were treated like VIPs! The families around the pool were also all very polite, courteous and friendly - with parents in control of their kids. We brought a cricket bat and ball with us, and the kids met several new friends! All round wonderful experience, and would highly recommend!

Best stay ever!!! Our time here was so comfortable friendly and I didn't want to leave,,,The staff Popi,Natal,Maria and of course the very organized communicative, Generous and sweet❤️George Thank you again for memories we'll never forget. And Nikki appreciated her bed too,,lol

Private in room accessible pools with spectacular view from East Crete. Private sand cove with access to Mediterranean sea and water toys.

Lovely hotel positioned on its own private beach with an excellent team of people that truly go out of their way to ensure the guests have the best stay possible.

We came home yesterday after a perfect 5 day stay for our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome, all of the staff are incredibly helpful and so friendly. We stayed in a junior beach front suite with private pool, with steps right down to the beach. The room was lovely and kept very clean, having our own pool made for such a relaxing experience. There’s a quiet private beach with plenty of sun beds too, as well as a large pool right by the bar which served great cocktails! Restaurant choice is very good and we had no issues with getting a table, we generally reserved the day before or on the morning of from the tablet in the room which made it really easy! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, we absolutely loved this beautiful hotel, thank you to all for making our honeymoon so special.

We were lucky enough to spend a wonderful week here last week. The location is superb and the hotel itself is beautiful. The staff are so attentive and get to know within a few hours of your arrival. We have to mention Vasia and Manos in reception who were always willing to help in whatever way they could, Stavros at breakfast and in Il Borro, who was always there with a smile on his face and Oleksander on the beach who was really efficient and friendly.|We had an amazing split level suite with our own pool and this really exceeded our expectations. The room was serviced twice a day and was immaculate.|We ate in Il Borro twice which was delicious but the best meal was at the sister hotel, Elounda Mare, the Friday evening fish night, this is not to be missed. Fantastic!|Breakfast was in a beautiful room overlooking Miabello Bay and was exactly how we like breakfast, quiet and civilised with an extensive menu.|All in all we had the best time and can’t wait to come back.
