InterContinental Crete

"This is definitely a first class hotel"

Aelia Suites

"Beautiful location with a wonderful view. The complex is bathed in peace, and yet is close to many good restaurants, there is also a bakery and supermarket nearby. Everything is brand new and comfortable, the terrace and swimming pool (private) are lovely. M****l and the lady who is responsible for the maintenance of the suites on a daily basis are extremely friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to stay here, there is really nothing to complain about. M****l also gives very good tips and explanations about the sights in the area. The East of Crete is beautiful in nature and much quieter than the West."

Lazar Lux Suites - Ammoudara

"We spent two weeks in this paradise on earth. Our room and the huge terrace provided real luxury comfort. The staff (Liana and Manos) are very kind and professional, any request we made was fulfilled immediately. The rooms are sparkling clean, thanks to the lovely cleaning ladies who worked hard every day even in the hottest weather. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone who wants a carefree, relaxing and romantic holiday."

Elounda Gulf Villas by Sandglass

"Our six night stay here was split between the junior suite we had booked and a 1+ BR pool villa we transferred to. Comparing the two there is a difference in the bathrooms etc with the junior suite being more updated. We were disappointed that none of the jacuzzis were hot and that our pool could not be heated. Even the advertised jacuzzis at the spa and main pool are cold. The GM did agree to transfer us and at least heated our villa pool to a lukewarm temperature…at a 90 euro per day charge. Apparently during July and August they do not need heated but cannot imagine using them cold the other months. On the plus side the once a day housekeeping was fine. The breakfast buffet and staff were terrific. And the golf cart drivers are the best snd absolutely needed for the very steep hillside travel. We only used the beach club one day and found George there to be very helpful however the beach itself was not what we expected and actually just went to the Elounda beach. The location was good to travel to Elounda, Plaka, and Agios Nikolaos."

Domes Aulus Elounda Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

"A disappointing experience – nowhere near the 5-star standard advertised We came to Domes Aulus Elounda expecting a genuine 5-star experience, particularly given the positioning, price and the hotel’s advertised concept. Unfortunately, our experience has been that this is a below-average 4-star hotel being marketed as 5-star. There are certainly positives, the setting is beautiful and the hotel itself has potential, but the service standards, transparency around costs and overall execution simply do not match what you would reasonably expect from a 5-star resort. Hidden costs and misleading expectations One of our biggest frustrations has been the number of additional costs and charges, which feel particularly contradictory for a hotel marketed around an all-inclusive experience. For example, room service is available at a very significant additional cost. While we understand that not every service has to be included, when you are paying a premium price for what is presented as an all-inclusive 5-star resort, having to pay heavily for basic conveniences such as room service makes the experience feel much less premium and much more like constantly having to check what is and isn’t included. There is also a major issue with the way the hotel is presented in its marketing and promotional photographs. Many of the photographs prominently showcase the Cool Living rooms, their private pools and upgraded accommodation, creating an impression of the type of experience guests can expect when booking the hotel. However, these rooms and pools come at a significant additional cost. We find this particularly misleading in the context of an all-inclusive resort. If the imagery being used to sell the hotel predominantly represents an expensive upgraded product that isn’t included in the standard experience, guests can understandably arrive expecting something very different from what they have actually booked. It creates the impression of a resort where the best version of the experience is constantly behind an additional charge. For a hotel marketed as 5-star and all-inclusive, there should be much greater transparency about what guests are actually paying for and what experience their booking provides. Service standards need significant improvement The service, particularly around the buffet, has been one of the biggest disappointments. Staff can take an unnecessarily long time to approach tables, and on several occasions the service has felt passive rather than attentive. At this level of hotel, we shouldn’t have to repeatedly try to get someone’s attention for basic service. What is particularly frustrating is that the issue doesn’t always appear to be a lack of resources, it is a lack of initiative. A perfect example was the availability of non-alcoholic wine. There was none available at the buffet, despite the fact that the bar immediately next to the buffet had plenty available. Rather than someone simply thinking, “We have this available "

Ella Rocrita

"We stayed at Ella Rocrita in Crete, and overall, it was a nice experience. The hotel has a fantastic spa, and we loved the manicure and pedicure services — something really special. There are five restaurants with delicious food, and the variety was great. The hotel grounds are beautiful, with many pools, including some that have direct access from the rooms. The sea is close by, and we had fun renting water scooters. It’s a great place to relax, enjoy good food, and spend quality time. Overall, we had a fun and enjoyable stay."
