We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout .

This is an incredible hotel in so many ways and is an oasis of calm and tranquility. From the beautifully appointed room with its own pool to the gorgeous well maintained gardens, Elounda Palm provided everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday. All the staff are friendly and accommodating, the food is very good and the breakfast buffet and evening meal buffet offer a wide selection. The hotel is within walking distance of Elounda that has lots of restaurants and shops. The next town along the coast towards Spinalonga leper colony is Plaka and is definitely worth a visit. We would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who is wanting a relaxing holiday in stunning surroundings.

Good bed. Tasty foods.

Just back from a weeks stay at the hotel. Service staff are very helpful, room and facilities mainly new and tastefully done. We didn’t eat in the hotel as Elounda was a very short drive away. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Thanks to the hotel manager and all staff

It was wonderful

Understated place (that’s a positive) and quiet. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast got a bit boring after a week although it is a nice buffet. Service was good but really non existent. For example when we checked in they didn’t tell us where to park our car effectively and also when we checked out they didn’t even ask how our stay was - like I said, understated. We will be back though.

Beautiful place to stay in mid to late May as it is so quiet. Having a personal pool was over the top. Breakfast every morning was delicious

Quiet, secluded hotel above Elounda with fantastic sunrise view from the infinity pool. Very relaxing and the staff were fantastic, buffet breakfast set you up for the day. We wanted to experience traditional Greece and we got it in spades.

Beautiful location and property. Enjoyed the outdoor fitness facilities and breakfast room. Provided complimentary wine as we waited for early check in. Very hospitable and friendly management team and staff.

Beautiful location that is a short walk from the shops and restaurants, great facilities. All the staff are lovely and very helpful.

Overall this was a great experience. Unfortunately, our Ferry from another island was late, and the only major negative experience for the entire stay at this hotel was the attitude from the front desk gentleman when he checked us in late at 10:30pm. Not cool. Otherwise, we got the room with the pool and let me tell you, it’s not heated. Don’t waste your money on it if you’re traveling in the month of May or earlier. The ocean view was slight, but still beautiful. The huge positive callout was the amazing restaurant breakfast, awesome staff and amazing room service. They really made up for a lot, and it was the highlight of our Crete trip. The property is beautiful, and our room was updated and clean.

We loved everything about this property. The room, food and staff were all wonderful. We had a room with a private pool and we really enjoyed that. The breakfast buffet was huge with many options.

Incredible stay at the Elounda Palm. Myself and my partner enjoyed our stay so much. The staff were so helpful and always had a smile on their faces. I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough. The pool and pool area is incredible well maintained and is a beautiful setting to relax. The poolside bar and food is of a very high level. It is a short 15 minute stroll down to all the bars and food places right on the water in Elounda and taxis are easy to get back at around 8 euros if you dont want to walk back. Don’t hesitate to book staying at the Elounda Palm.

Beautiful hotel, food amazing and the staff go out their way to be friendly to you. Wish we had more places to sunbathe a little restricted. Would go back.

Excellent hotel… professional service was fabulous always with a smile and super helpful both in restaurant and bar. Spotlessly clean. Good air conditioning in our rooms. Great menu choice with dietary information visible and catered for if requested (I am GF). Quiet location around 3/4 mile walk into town and a little further to nearest beach. We hired a car for the duration which allowed us more freedom to explore. Staff couldn’t do enough. Pool area was lovely with plenty of loungers available. Gym was good and spa treatments available too reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again.

Thank you for such a beautiful stay! Massive thank you to Nikos who looked after us with all our needs at breakfast & pool. We will be returning to elounda palm

Just a perfect place to stay. Helpful staff, great morning breakfast , pools galore. Lovely!

Beautiful hotel, very friendly people, good food. Wish was a little closer to the beach. It’s a mile walk. The pool tho with salty water is the best option if you feel lazy walking to the beach.

The Elonda Palm is lovely with staff who can't do enough for you. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday.

We liked the upgrade with a very nice partial infinity pool with views on the gulf... The air conditioning unit was too far and not powerful enough to keep the room cool in the afternoon and night ( we sleep usually comfortably at 80 degrees but , I think the room temp was over 90 degrees in the evenings which made difficult at times to go to sleep ...

We were a group of 6, with 4 staying in the apartment with private pool and 2 staying in the bungalow room. The view from the private pool and deck was amazing and the outside table and lounge chairs were great for our group of six. The bathroom showers need some renovating because water leaks onto the bathroom floor (very unsafe for senior citizens in our group). The view from the bungalow room was not great and the bathroom was small. The breakfast buffet food was very good but the coffee that is made from the coffee machine left a lot to be desired. I would recommend removing that machine altogether and brewing coffee in a pot instead! The hotel staff at reception were very accommodating and arranged a rental car for us in 15 minutes. We wished the staff brought our luggage more quickly to the rooms when we arrived (we had three senior citizens in our group that were exhausted after traveling 24+ hours from Brazil to Crete). The complimentary bottles of wine were a very nice touch when we arrived! Overall very pleasant stay and I would recommend Elounda Palm to others.

This is a wonderful hotel above Elounda offering just the perfect amount of luxury--and comfort. Our family loved having two rooms connected by a private pool--and luxuriated in the comforts of our rooms and patios, along with the splendor of beautiful, panoramic views. We spent our mornings enjoying breakfast and reading by the pool, lunches in town, and afternoons at nearby beaches. We highly recommend this hotel and the area for a family vacation.

Our room had a private pool and jacuzzi with beautiful views of the sea

Very attractive location, large room with beautiful private pool

We booked a junior suite complete with a fabulous shared infinity pool. The room was very comfortable with great views. The grounds were very well maintained and staff were welcoming and friendly without being intrusive. We booked B&B as we wanted to try some lodal restaurants (Elounda has a great selection). Breakfast was a good selection of cereal, fruit, yogurts, bread, cheese etc. There was some cooked breakfast available but we avoided it as it was never hot enough. The hotel is a pleasant 20-30 minute walk down to the main town and you can also take the bus or a taxi to Plaka and Agios Nikolas.

amazing experience looking forwards to our next visit

The hotel was in a great location and had nice amenities. The wifi in the bedroom could have been better although it gave us an excuse to go down by the pool to have cocktails when we needed to access wifi. Staff were friendly and helpful.

It’s the second time we’ve stayed here in 3 years and it’s just got better. The hotel is clean and fresh with lovely bright open rooms. We opted for a sea view bungalow in the upper level and were not disappointed. The room was lovely and big with fantastic views and a balcony big enough for sunloungers and table and chairs. The cleaning of the rooms was great- lovely staff, efficient and thorough. The restaurant by the pool now has an open kitchen which is fab for lunch. Lovely food and very modern presentation. Reasonably priced too. The restaurant staff, especially the manager were bright and cheerful, always happy to help and so friendly. The breakfast buffet was great, lots of choice, freshly cooked and always plenty of it. Lovely restaurant either inside or out by the pool to enjoy it by too. The hotel has a range of room options from standard rooms by the garden up to bungalows with private pools, I should imagine all provide the same quality experience. The reception staff were always bright, friendly and helpful arranging transfers, taxis and restaurant reservations. The hotel is situated about ten minutes outside Elounda, for us this was great as it provides chance for a lovely walk to and from Elounda by the sea for dinner each evening. It’s is of course possible to get a taxi for €6. I would recommend this hotel to couples particularly as it is quiet and spacious.

The hotel is in a nice situation a walk from Elounda and the beach with a great pool/relaxing area and great views. We arrived late on the first night and were shown to our room, which was just off reception. There was a smell of drain and the view was onto the carpark, but it was removed from the other rooms, so private-ish. However, it was very loud when people were using the stairs and coming and going from reception so after a challengning first night sleep we asked to be moved but were only offered to upgrade at a price which was roughly what we paid for our stay. We couldn't afford that but were told that after another night we could move. The subsequent room was really lovely, much bigger, cleaner and with an aspect over the garden. As such we were really surprised the two rooms were in the same 'bracket' on the website in terms of price and it was a shame that we had the inital room allocated to us. We also had some challenges in getting served when we had evening meals as we were forgotten twice when ordering wine with our meal meaning the wine arrived after we had eaten. So while it is lovel our expereince wasn't the best.
