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.

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 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.

Elounda is outstanding.A number of restaurants are on jetties streching out into Elounda bay.
The Blue Sea Cretan Cuisine and seafood restaurant located in front of my hotel was fabulous! Exceptional food and service at great prices.
Elounda and Spinalonga is full of lovely local shops selling beautiful items, many hand made.
The local people I found to be warm and welcoming.
The atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of available sunbeds on the sea front.
I felt no need to go anywhere else as I was staying for 1 week, although there were boat trips on offer along the sea front. I did get the bus to Agios Nikolaus for 1euro 80 each way around 20 minutes from Elounda.
Sitting just above Elounda, on a property covered with olive trees, this newly built hotel has very modern convenience delivered with the best of Cretan Hospitality and Charm!
After spending the morning exploring Elounda, the swimming pool shaded by olive trees, grape vines and hot pink Bougainville was a welcome oasis.
The staff was friendly and welcoming. The room beautifully appointed and already cooled when we arrived.
I am so happy have chosen this property for my stay in Crete, the Hotel is even better than it looks in the pictures. The rooms are amazing bright and modern, the views are spectacular and the girls at the front desk are just wonderful!, especially Vicky which goes above and beyond to ensure your stay goes smoothly. The staff are simply there to make your stay memorable and make you feel at home. Will definitely go back!🙏
It's our third time to Elounda and we only just discovered this amazing hotel in the middle of this charming town, hidden in plain sight. With very high end furnishings, a well-laid out bathroom, nice towels, comfy bed and big balcony. They also provided lots of coffee, water and other treats (even a chocolate cake) with twice-a-day maid service. And the beach is only a three minute stroll away...
The view of Elounda bay, the Island and Spinalonga from the balcony is Delfina's/Dolphins' greatest advantage.
The location could hardly be better if you want "central", and don't mind some traffic noise.
The owner and host George, Γιώργος, is an example of the best of Crete : Hospitable, helpful and serviceminded, not to mention his sense of humour.
We were on half board, and breakfast along with dinner was amazing. Everyone from the adults all the way to our children enjoyed the food. The service overall is on par with a top 5 star hotel, and we never felt like we were missing anything or didn't have help from the staff. The staff always went out of their way to help us!
The breakfast was good and rich, sushi nights are the best with lots of fresh fish.
The bar is well equipped and the bartenders are skilled, making us perfect cocktails all day long :)
The staff is amazing, Menolius, Yanis, Andreas, and all the rest.
High-quality hotel, with great facilities. Can't wait to be back!
Hotel taken over by Hotel Brain who are clearly updating. Renewed power supply and cabinets. Overhaul of pumps etc on the already excellent pool area. Staff are very friendly and hotel spotless. A little walk into Elounda but very pleasant if you take the shortcut via old salt pans and follow the waterside.
First and foremost it is the daily friendliness and welcoming attitude of all the staff at the hotel
Facilities were great for all members of the family, from the pools, to the beach, to the gym and the games room for the kids. The variety and quality of the food was also a pleasant surprise
The location was perfect as we could take a short walk into town but we were in a peaceful and beautiful place.
Kavos Bay is like a little paradise in Elounda! I can’t imagine a better place to stay. The staff are highly skilled and very kind and welcoming.
We stayed in the Deluxe room (got an upgrade and loved it). the beach was wonderful, clear water. great value for money (maybe cause it was the end of the season). we didn't care some of the facilities were a bit old. Elounda is super close by walking.
The hotel is in front of the sea and very close to restaurants and cafes. The swimming pool is perfect and the bar also. The staff is really helpful and polite. Totally recommended, a value for money hotel
the pool is even nicer than from the picture
cross the street and you’re already on the promande going to the Harbour
staff was just lovely and very kind
the whole hotel area feels like an oasis
Rooms very nice with big comfy beds, very attentive staff and amazing food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Great views from the hotel and within walking distance to Elounda centre.
everything about this hotel was amazing from the lovely staff, food, drink, accommodation and amazing location it was all 5 star and more we will defiantly be going back
