The area is beautiful, but I would stay elsewhere. Their reception staff failed to accommodate most of our requests. The rooms look like they have been remodeled recently, but they cut all corners. Mold in the shower, the comforters are out dated and gross. The pool is beautiful as is the view, but they need to work on their customer... More

We stayed at the Elounda Ilion 2 - 12 May 2012. We were among the first guests of the season. Hotel staff were very friendly - particularly Dimitri (barman) and the young girl who works in the poolside bar/cafe. Our room was basic and a little dated but it was fine for what we needed - somewhere to put our... More

We try to get to Crete twice a year, but with the arrival of a baby daughter, we have not been since 2010. We tend to travel all over the island when there but always stopping off at this hotel when in Elounda. All of the rooms that are part of the main hotel are very modern, but not high... More

Elounda Ilion is set in beautiful surroundings, staff all most helpful and rooms clean, though some rooms larger than others. Breakfast better than expected for Greece, though buffet dinner not wonderful. You can get much better food in most the tavernas in town, but the downside to this is that it is a good 30 minutes' walk to get there,... More

We cannot fault this hotel at all. We booked here whilst staying at another hotel in Crete, as the service was poor there so we moved. We found this little gem on the internet, told them we were moving to their hotel as we wanted a quiet room so we could relax and actually sleep at night and from the... More

What a great find - a lovely hotel with amazingly friendly and helpful staff - they really couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. Our room was spotless and well appointed and we were upgraded to a better room - a nice bonus. The pool area was lovely - again, very clean and the pool was... More

My daughter got married in Elounda beginning of September 2011 and our 94 guests stayed at the Ilion Hotel. It proved to be an excellent choice. Spectacular views, helpful management, friendly staff, good food, clean and good accommodation, reasonably priced. I thank the Ilion management on behalf of the 94 very satisfied guests.
