My boyfriend and I have just returned from a wonderful week in Elounda, staying at the Irene Apartments. We were looking for a low cost holiday at self-catering accommodation which we could use as a base - we were planning to go out most days rather than spend most of our time here - and this was perfect. When we... More

I have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Irene apartments with 11 other family members ages from 80 to 4 years old. This was my 3rd year in Elounda and 8th year for some of the others.The apartments are the best we have ever stayed in, the cleaners came in every day to empty bins and sweep... More

It was our first time in Crete as we were visiting family, but an experience not to be missed ! Elounda is the most beautiful place, with stunning scenery and beaches. Access to nearby villages is pretty easy, and if you drive, a moped is definitely the best way to get around - although there are some crazy drivers out... More

This was our second time in Elouda, it is a georgeous place and we fell in love with it the moment we got there. This time we stayed at Irene Apartments and had a lovely stay. The rooms were basic as they are in Greece, but clean and the bathroom was brand new and sparkling. The pool is lovely and... More

Elounda is a wonderful place to holiday, but i can honestly say that my family and myself would never stay at the irene apartments again. The shower leaked and flooded the bathroom , the sheets were full of some sort of stains and the price of the air con was ridiculous. The people who run it do not know how... More

The resort of Elounda is lovely and the Irene Apartments are ideally located only 2 minutes walk to restaurants, bars and beach. The accomodation was clean, but very basic, with a dingy bathroom and the staff were not particularly friendly. Also local dogs quite vocal at night. Air conditioning was not included in the price and cost an extortionate 90... More

We have just come back from a 2 week holiday in the irene apartments, the location was fabulous as it is a minutes walk into the local town of Elounda. The apartments, though basic, are adequate and fairly spacious. Our only problem that we encountered was related to the staff hospitality and the condition of the pool area. The pool... More

We have been going to Elounda for 12 years and absolutely love the place and the people there. Last year we decided to try the Irene apartments after seeing their glowing reports in the 'Real Holiday Reports' website. We are so glad we did. The apartments are set a little back from the main road - but near enough to... More

We have had 3 wonderful holidays with Ve, Irene, and family. It was so good we went back twice last year, even when the weather was bad early in the year, we found lots to do. The boat trips to spinalonga, quiz nights or just sunning ourselves.....bliss. We will go again, we just love it. No battles for sun beds,... More
