Just returned from 2 weeks at the Elounda Mare and had the most relaxing time. We opted for a bungalow with a private pool and were upgraded to a one bedroom bungalow which was a good size with a separate living room and lounge. The service at the hotel is as you would expect for a 5 star property but... More

We spent six nights never to be forgotten in this heaven on earth. Wonderfully clean, tastefully decorated rooms. Fantastic breakfasts with great view over the bay. Very good food in all the restaurants especially at the OLD MIL. Very helpful and friendly staff. Main pool is the largest we have ever seen.

Set in the bay of Elounda, close to the buzzing fishing villiage and overlooking the famed Spingalonga Island ( subject of the book The Island) is this perfect, spotlessly clean, impeccable hotel. We treated ourselves to a room with private pool, but the main hotel and pool are just as lovely. Private beach, clear water, hotel restaurant serving fine food... More

We chose the Elounda Mare even though we have a 1 year old baby because it is a Relais et Chateaux, although we were told that this company has a sister hotel next door which is much more child friendly. This is a chain we trust and we always like to visit their hotels. And we are so glad we... More

The service was great, the staff was incredible polite, the food fantastic, the views:unreal! We went with my husband for a week and just got back. It was quiet, peaceful and so relaxing! The bungalow we were staying at was also great. The decoration was inspired by Crete, which made you feel that this was a unique place. It couldn't... More

this is a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting;it feels more as if you are entering a large villa surrounded by a cretan village due to the gardens, bungalows and the few shops surrounding the lovely orthodox church within the grounds.Although the hotel was busy it was always very quiet -no rowdy quests here[is this what a previous reviewer thought...

For true luxury on Crete, Elounda Mare is the perfect hotel. Perched on the edge of a beautiful, desolate peninsula at the most Eastern point of Crete, the Elounda Mare literally has its toes dipped right into the bright blue Mediterranean sea. There’s a pool which you would expect, but there is also beautiful sandy beach front and the room... More

We absolutely loved the Elounda Mare - we stayed in one of the private bungalows with our own private garden and pool and can truly say it was some of the best accommodation we have experienced. The bungalow, the view, the pool, the garden, the room service, the food, the staff, the bar, the library to find more books to... More

We have traveled to Greece many times and have visited every major island and many smaller ones. Elounda is not our favorite town. From late spring to early fall it's expensive, filled with tourists (European and Russians). However, the elounda mare hotel is like Eden on Earth. It is our favorite hotel in the entire world. We have been there... More
