For a first visit to Crete my wife and I decided on the Elounda Bay Palace Hotel on the eastern side of the Island located on the outskirts of the former fishing village which has many small fishing boats still in evidence around the harbour which is fringed by nice restaurants bars and greek supermarkets. We booked through Thomsons and... More

History: I arrived in Elounda after travelling Crete for 3 days, and turned up without a reservation to be greeted by a rather cautious lady called Maria (or Marie?) who was the front of house manager. I admit i looked a bit dodgy in shorts and tank top and scruffy. She took my money upfront, and someone showed me to... More

Just back from a week in the Elouda Bay Palace. Lovely setting and attentive staff throughout the stay. A special mention to Nicos in the sail in bar, great cocktails and music, lovely guy! Ate in the ferryman a few nights in the town, food as good as ever!! More

This was our 4th visit so that speaks volumes. The staff are fabulous. The setting is magnificent. Even the villas and gardens have kept their immaculate appearance. However when many of the residents are spending their evenings out of the hotel in the nearby village because of the price of beer and wine , one has to ask if the... More

the overall experience is great, the staff is more than friendly, very professional and the place is in tip-top shape, particularly when considering that it's a beach resort. It's not an architecture masterpiece - but neither should it be for a beach&sun vacation type resort. the beaches are clean and well maintained, the water are great! even the furthest most... More

After complaining the customer relations rep moved us to a much more acceptable room, more inline with a 5 star hotel. In respose to previous room complaints the manager has suggested to look on the hotel web site to see room standards, however, I can... More
