Aristea Hotel, hotel in Elounda

Aristea Hotel is located centrally in Elounda, a 5-minute walk from the beach. It has rooms with a balcony overlooking Mirabello Bay. The hotel offers breakfast and a seafood restaurant.

Great location, great staff. It’s not luxury hotel but that’s not what we wanted! It felt authentic. It is close to everything too - dinner and shops are seconds away. We arrived on Easter weekend without knowing so we caught the parade going right past the entrance. The staff were so kind as to explain the traditions and even gave us some dyed eggs for the midnight cracking to take with us to our next location. Nothing was a problem. They helped us communicate for our transfer and advised us on how to get around and what to see/eat. Cannot emphasise enough how welcomed we felt- it felt like we were staying with our own family. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Located on the northeast coast of Crete, the seafront Elounda Beach Hotel & Villas, a Member of the Leading Hotels of the World, features 5 tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts and a spa...

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.

Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection, hotel in Elounda

The 5-star Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection offers luxurious accommodation with spa bath overlooking the Unesco-protected island of Spinalonga and its Venetian castle.

Our family had the most amazing holiday at Domes of Elounda. What we liked the most is that everything we asked for, from switching the lights on and keeping them on every night on the tennis court to all kind of different requests at the beach area, the staff would accommodate with the smile on their faces. The culture that exists at the Domes from the general manager George, Lena through all ranks down is a top notch . We cannot recommend enough this place . Keep the good work up and looking forward to coming again.

    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.

    Great breakfast. Great restaurant. Great views from the rooms, sky bar, sky pool and beach. I also liked the fact that you could choose to chill at the beach within 1min across the street or at the pool on the rooftop (1min from hotel room). Also love how clean everything was. Clean rooms. Nice staff. Helpful reception, also when renting some vehicle or booking expeditions. Overall just great!

    Excellent location in the centre of Elounda. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the attention to detail is excellent and the room is very peaceful. We had an enormous balcony, which was well furnished and private. Loved the small kitchen area and fridge. The beds were super comfortable and ensured a super nights sleep, aided by the air con. Wifi was good. Owner, family and staff were all lovely.

    We’ve booked the Elounda Bay and were offered a suite at the Elounda Beach, which apparently it’s more luxurious (our first time). Very good hotel, ok facilities given the out of season period, but the highlight of it all is definitely the staff, who without being cheesy, are very polite, effective, hands on and there to help! Even in eventful situations! We have really enjoyed our stay!

    During our stay there were only few guests, so the hotel was very quiet. This could be different in high season. However, there is a lot of space in the hotel, including 4 pools and water park. Meals were amazing except the poor offer of meats. Location is very nice, because it is away from the noise of "city" center. Staff was friendly and always helpful.

    This is lovely hotel with delightful caring staff. Nice to be able to cook simple meals. Shower good. Plenty of space for storage. Great position for everything that the beautiful town of Elounda has to offer. Great pool, bar area and the ability to leave bags for a late departure yet have a shower and change after a day out is great!

    Beautiful hotel overall. Room was huge with a really nice bathroom and balcony with sea view. The beach was really nice despite being pebbles - they have cleverly put decking down to make it easy to access and you can get into the water via the pontoon so we were really happy (lovely to not have sand getting everywhere!)

    expectations are met only at the entrance to the lobby of this very dated hotel. in fact the only thing they were concerned about spending money was the lobby furniture. then you go up the stairs to get to the room. it all ends there.
