Elounda Palm

Nowadays we do not seem to feel the need to go anywhere else but The Palm and this will be our 3rd visit within the past 12 months! The entire team always make us feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. A truly family run hotel where the owners are usually visible on a regular basis .

We had an unforgettable holiday at this wonderful hotel. Every member of the staff was genuinely warm, friendly, and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious and offered a great variety of options. It is also possible to order breakfast to your room, which we highly recommend! Lunch and dinner were excellent as well, and there were good options available for vegetarians too. The entire hotel area is beautiful and very well maintained, and at least in May it was pleasantly peaceful and relaxing. Housekeeping was done at a time that suited us and the cleaning was always excellent. The room felt cozy yet modern, and we were able to sleep peacefully every night without any noise disturbances. A big thank you to the whole hotel team for your hospitality! 🤍

Beautiful hotel and the staff are amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in room 603.

Excellent Relaxing Stay Our final night of a week-long holiday has been truly relaxing and luxurious. This was our fourth trip to Crete, each time staying in a different area. We’d visited its wonderful museums and tourist highlights before but this time we decided to simply unwind, enjoy the private pool and explore Elounda if we fancied it. We chose this hotel specifically and it didn’t disappoint. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and assistance with our luggage to our lovely junior suite with a pool. The room was incredibly comfortable, with crisp white bed linen, a high-quality mattress and pillows. It was spacious enough for two and had a cosy cushioned seating area. A kettle was promptly supplied for tea, added to the coffee machine already in place. The outside patio was a dream, with a generous seating area, a table and very comfortable sunbeds overlooking the pristine pool. The view changed throughout the day as the sun moved across the sky, and if you were up early enough, you could witness a stunning sunrise. The restaurant offered a fresh and varied buffet, with my favourite being the salad selection. An al a carte menu is available if you preferred. The hotel grounds and facilities are beautifully maintained, creating a spacious and airy atmosphere. We enjoyed a spa treatment and the treatments were top-notch. Room service was superb and incredibly convenient, with delicious pizzas and a house burger. A leisurely walk into Elounda front. The staff went above and beyond to make our holiday seamless. They organised a football match on their TV and were attentive to our every need. Our lovely cleaning lady was always there, ensuring we were comfortable and had everything we needed. You can tell this resort is owned and run by a family, small bespoke touches and local hospitality in spades. Almost always missing from big corporate giant’s catering for the masses. This was the perfect relaxing break for us. I have no hesitation in recommending this family run resort.

We loved the Elounda Palm Hotel and genuinely hope to return. The location was excellent, giving us beautiful surroundings and easy access on foot to the village of Elounda. We chose a double classic sea‑view room, and it was a large, comfortable, beautifully presented space with wonderful views out to sea. It was kept scrupulously clean throughout our stay, and we felt very well looked after. We were on half‑board and really enjoyed both the breakfasts and the buffet evening meals, which were consistently high quality. The service was exceptional, and the hotel (especially Chrysanthi, the manager we dealt with) handled my wife’s medical dietary needs with great care and professionalism. That made a huge difference to our holiday, and we were very grateful. The staff were always cheerful, friendly, and genuinely helpful, which added to the overall experience. Sleep quality was excellent, thanks to the comfortable room, peaceful setting, and relaxing atmosphere. We had high hopes for our stay at the Elounda Palm, but the reality exceeded our expectations.
