Great hotel. We were among the first people staying here as it had only recently opened so not all ammenities were available yet. Location is absolutely stunning, the view from our terrace and from the main restaurant was amazing. Very calm area at this time of year (end of april), which allows you to enjoy the true charm of Crete.
The staff in the hotel was super nice, rooms very comfortable and excellent service. We booked half board and are both vegetarian. We loved the food, allthough not specifically targetted to vegetarians. More than enough options at the buffet but would have been great to see some vegetarian versions of Greek classics (veggy moussaka for example?).
Specific shoutout to Marios, who made us feel super comfortable and we actually missed him on his one day off.

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.

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.
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!
My recent stay at Domes Aulus Elounda Hotel was absolutely incredible. The staff, especially Despina from the reception, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The suite with a shared pool offered a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea, and the luxurious amenities made us feel like royalty. The exceptional food and hospitality throughout our stay made us feel pampered and truly special. I highly recommend Domes Aulus Elounda Hotel to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable getaway.
Fantastic hotel, couldn't fault the room, the view, the service, the facilities and the food! Great location between Plaka (for Spinalonga) and Elounda, both a short taxi ride away, with access to loads of bars and affordable restaurants.
We took full advantage of the spa, restaurants and lunch and cocktail options, which can add up a lot of euros, so something watch out for but we wanted total luxury for 5 nights a d that's what we got with our own got tub over looking the sea!
I booked this hotel after seeing the great ratings and I was not disappointed. The property is new and very well designed. Maria met us on arrival, gave us fresh lemonade and provided great recommendations on restaurants. We booked the Brown room which was spacious and had everything we could want including robes and slippers! I cannot recommend this hotel enough, the 9.9 rating is very well deserved.
Domes of Elounda was absolutely amzing. From day one, they welcomed us warmly and made our stay there incredible. We enjoyed every breakfast and dinner, the room service was great and the hotel itself is a treasure in Elounda. We fell in love with the interior of the hotel and our room. We'd definitely recommend staying there for at least 4-5 days and take the most of this time.
We had a super room with private terrace with sun loungers overlooking one of the hotel private beaches. The staff were extremely attentive and polite. We also enjoyed being able to use the facilities of the sister hotel Elounda Beach Hotel with a variety of restaurants and a fantastic spa.
Elounda Colour Apaartments was in a great location in walking distance to the main area of Elounda Town. The room was well appointed and kept extremely clean and tidy. The breakfast was also great which is provided. The hotel also offers offsite parking about 300m easy walk from the hotel.
Breakfast was superior, great staff, fresh fruit and many hot items, great view from breakfast room, everything refilled promptly. Helpful courteous staff. Wonderful . Beds very comfortable and Village of Elounda a 6 minute drive for dinner. Clean and well kept up

We liked the location and fully enjoyed the weather. Crete is beautiful ! Food in Crete is amazing.
Nice and kind employees
Very nice food in Anthós and Blue Door
our favourite restaurant was FERRYMAN in ELUNDA and Maria in Plaka ( village close to the hotel )
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.
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
An excellent stay in a very pleasant environment. A real luxury boutique hotel, offering all the conforts needed and more. A unique place for those seeking tranquility, privacy, relax, beautiful nature
Excellent place, there is everything that You need - superb hotel, hotel restaurant with tasty food and fresh orange juice in breakfast mornings, pool, bar, cozy beach, and a lot of white wine! :)
Large, comfortable room. Excellent bed and pillows. Delicious, varied breakfast. Fantastic location overlooking Elounda Bay. Staff was quick to repair a broken shower door.
beautiful property in a unique location with amazing views. The pool and beach are great! Service is excellent and so is the food. We also enjoyed to hotel gym.
