This place 10 years or so ago was one of the best resorts to visit on the Island of Crete.High up in the town of Kalo Chorio with views that were absolutely spectacular.Sitting by the pool you felt like a Greek God looking down on the world.The rooms were basic but clean,the staff then were some of the best,the service...

My biggest gripe about this hotel and location is the very busy main road below the hotel, it roars all day and night so spoilt for us what could have been quite a pleasant stay. The views are terrific but are marred by the rows of pylons in front. Putting that to one side the hotel is good value for... More

Set in a quiet village, and built on a lush green mountain, from the minuite we arrived we were left amazed by the hotel. The scenery and views from our room were like a dream with real sea views that allowed us to have a real romantic holiday. Everynight we would watch the sunset (and some mornings sunrise) over the...

The hotel is up on a steep hill, and although this was very annoying, i came back feeling very fit and healthy! The staff were great, very welcoming and Phil at the bar was great. If your looking for a very quiet holiday, this is the place to go. There was not many people or things to do, which was... More

Excellent location, set on a hillside with views out over the bay. Food was generally good, restaurant balcony had the best views of all. Room very tidy, swimming pool was also clean and well maintained. Bar area had plenty of seating for evening. Drinks were fine, although indeed no vodka, if the success of your holiday hinges on this. Local... More

No vodka on ai food repetitive and poor. Watered down drinks. Catered completely for the polish and Russian guests. Beautiful location and kavos restaurant in the village is excellent. Don t stay all inclusive, you are better self catering. Commotions British bar is excellent and friendly great cocktails and the drink is not watered down like other places. Joan and... More

The staff at Elpida Hotel are friendly and very efficient (especially Mr Nicos at reception), and the view of the sunsets from the hotel each evening and morning are just amazing. Me and my family could just chill out by the pool or just have a short stroll to the beach that is best described as postcard perfect. This is... More

We booked last minute, coat approx 300 pound each for all inclusive for 1 week. Good points. Stunning scenery from the hotel up on the hill. The food we really enjoyed, i found it very tasty, lots of greek salad and yogurts. Relaxing atmosphere in hotel and around pool. Beaches about 1/2 mile walk. one really nice beach nearby but...

We stayed at Elpida in the beginning of September with my husband (we were on our honeymoon). It is a hotel that is a complex of different buildings - which makes it look beautiful. The buildings are surrounded by many plants and flowers. Its not a typical rectangular hotel! Very unique! The hotel is high up on a hill, for... More
