  : Very friendly staff & manager. Nice food.
  : If I have to choose something, the hotel is not directly at the beach- you have to drive 15min to the beach

  : The Elounda Gulf Villas felt a total scam. All the nice photos with the nice pools are from private villas. The common facilities look very different from those photos. The mentioned gym was basically two machines in a small room (a treadmill and a rowing machine) and the spa was a sauna with a jacuzzi. These dont make for a gym and a spa. The suite was an old looking suite. It was just ok. Not a wow place and not so good to justify 350euros/night. Private beach was nothing special, a bit boring with no music. The worst part was the charging of drinks at that private beach. An Amstel beer from a can costed 7 euros. For those who dont know, Amstel beer is the workers beer in Greece and it costs 80 cents to buy it from the super market. Therefore, I wouldnt be expecting an Amstel beer can in a place that boasts luxury. If they do sell it, then why charge 7 euros for it?? Total waste of money for this place and felt totally misled and scammed for a place that overcharges for rooms and drinks in the name of luxury. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. There was really nothing special about this place in order to justify the overcharge of everything. Total waste of money. Elounda is a beautiful place wherever you go, so dont waste money on these so called resorts that only look to drain you from your money. We had an amazing time at Plaka beach with absolutely amazing cocktails and drinks reasonably priced. Not like this hotels private beach and rest of the facilities. Avoid this place at all costs.

  : Rooms comfortable, air con good, buggy transport, restaurant vibe, pool vibes, chilled music, lovely to eat in for evening and breakfast.
  : Wine choice was limited and hugely over priced for average wine which was disappointing. A few check in difficulties - not informative enough - and werent advised to rush to restaurant as it was closing so struggled to eat on arrival, couldnt work out resort layout or get help with that, eventually having found out wed missed restaurant last orders by 4 minutes we had to get back up to room for room service ... by then had very hangry family.

  : Spacious suites in lovely setting. Excellent staff and service.
  : Some minor maintenance issues like door on toilet not closing properly should have been picked up considering the room rates.

  : We stayed for 6 days at Elounda Gulf Villas and got upgraded to a Junior suite. The suite was beautiful, with a private pool, big smart tv and a lovely view of Elounda. All the staff was super friendly and helpful, we loved the breakfast and the garden too. We also appreciated the local drink and sweets that we found in our room when we arrived.The bedroom and the bathroom have glas walls on the side of the sea which allows you to look at the view at any time, which we really liked. Of course in the morning there is some sunlight in the bedroom despite the blinds, so if you can't sleep with light you better take an eye mask with you as we did.
  : More maintenance would be needed.There were two pillows, one thicker than the other, an even thinner or softer one would be needed though.Water was not provided on a daily basis.

  : The size of the room was generous.
  : We stayed in the Plaka room. The beds were very uncomfortable, the comforter was nothing but a hard sheet on all beds. There were lots of mosquitos in the room. The pool was dirty so we didnt even use it. The bathroom - shower specifically had a strange design and was hard to use.
