We have just returned from Elounda Mare in Greece,Crete! We had a real relaxation. This place is perfect for your body,soul and mind. The gorgeous hotel with beautiful garden,amazing seaside (perfect for being alone with your thoughts and emotions), excellent food and its unique hospitality, that impressed me so much!

We booked this hotel via a luxury auction Web site and were delighted to get a 5-night package, including breakfast, plus dinner for 2 one evening for a very reasonable price. Had we paid normal rates, we would have been disappointed in the value for money, as the hotel is really lovely, but had inconsistencies in its service. We admittedly... more

This was our third visit to our favourite hotel and although the Elounda Mare maintains that ranking there has been a distinct change to character of the hotel. Three years ago the hotel was almost exclusively populated by adults but that is no longer the case. Although our stay was, again, over the first two weeks in June it seems... more

First impressions of this five star hotel are certainly favourable as you enter through an attractive stone facade into a delightful court yard and thence to an equally impressive reception /bar area.

We have just come back having had a fantastic week at this wonderful hotel. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. We found the food excellent especially the breakfast buffet which seemed to cater for all tastes and plenty of it. We wanted a relaxing chill out week and that is exactly what we got -... more

The Hotel just opened on Apr 23rd and it was evidently not ready to do it. Many works going on around the guests, very noisy, very disturbing. Also, the hotel is not completed, i.e. rooms are still in construction. Also my room, probably was just finished. The hotel and location is nice but definitively not value for the rates. I... more
