Elounda Palm

Our stay at Elounda Hotel Palm and Suites was absolutely wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, spacious and comfortable with beautiful view to the sea. We had a room with garden view, our balcony had view to a small oasis as we called it, simply dream-like. Big comfortable bed, tv, fruits and wine were waiting for us upon check in which made for the warmest welcome. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Special thanks to Mr Panagiotis as well as to the lovely lady working in the dinner service whose name I unfortunately did not get the chance to ask.They were both super friendly, and making you feel so welcome, almost like coming back home. For someone who lives abroad and only visits home a few times this was really important. The food was also excellent, with dinner being the true highlight. There was such a wide variety of options at the buffet that you simply wanted to try everything. We fell in love with the area! The hotel is only about a 15 minute walk from the center of Elounda village, so there is always the option to stroll there and enjoy what it has to offer. At the same time, it is also well worth exploring nearby places such as Agios Nikolaos and Kritsa. All around a wonderful unforgettable experience. Thank you to all of the staff for all the love and work they put in to make our dream of the perfect vacation come true.

Well all I can say it’s that I was thoroughly impressed with this hotel. We booked through Jet2 and read some varied reviews. However, the attention to cleanliness was exceptional with all communal areas cleaned every morning with particular attention given to the pool area.. The room- a bungalow with sea views - was also exceptionally good with the only missing item-a kettle- quickly supplied. The food was also superb. We had thought that we may need to eat out as we had booked 7 nights. However, the breakfasts were marvellous with a great choice of cooked breakfast, cereal and continental. Dinner was different every night so there was no need at all to think we would get bored. It was great to have such a huge choice all cooked so so well. And finally the staff were exceptional. Attentive, engaging and thoroughly professional. I can not recommend this hotel more highly.

What a wonderful week spent in this lovely hotel, we couldn’t find any fault. Our room (607) with its own infinity pool had amazing sea views that were so lovely to wake up to every morning, especially catching the sunrise, the room itself is spacious bright and clean. The staff are all friendly and attentive. We had a few lunches in the hotel, all incredibly tasty. The pool bar is a great place to enjoy cocktails, and listen to some fab music. The town is just a pleasant 20 min walk, where you’ll find lots of sea front restaurants and bars to choose from. All in all a fantastic relaxing week in Crete!

Lovely hotel about 20 minutes easy walk into town. Lovely town with many fabulous waterside restaurants, definitely recommend Eloundi, absolutely first class! Great pool, limited sunbeds that are claimed with towels from breakfast time. So unfair! Why do people do this! Good selection of breakfast items. Really friendly welcoming, helpful staff. Great recommendations for beach trips, voulisima and Almyros both beautiful. Lovely day visiting Plaka and Spinalonga. We had a superior sea view bungalow. Very comfortable but the basin set up is not great. One basin in a small area and hairdryer also here. Not very user friendly! Safe box in room which is useful. Little fridge, kettle and coffee machine all great. Lovely poolside bar. Overall a lovely hotel.

We had a lovely 6 days at this hotel in late September - weather fantastic so a great time to visit Crete. This hotel has excellent facilities and friendly staff - food at breakfast and the one night we ate there was very good and well priced. Only comment would be that the bathroom facilities in our "superior bungalow" were too small - the single sink made things very awkward and it felt very cramped. Other than that we could not fault the hotel. The staff were extremely efficient and very friendly.
