Thank you to all

We loved staying at Olive Grove - we were made to feel very welcome, all the staff are very helpful and happy to share advice for things to do in Elounda and beyond. The location is central and well equipped for a family stay. The pool bar serves fresh and reasonably priced food and drinks. The kids loved the pool!

Lovely apartments in a great location. Family run and everyone was very helpful and friendly. Many repeat visitors and we can see why. Very clean and comfortable apartment with air con and balcony and lovely pool area and pool bar. Lots of lovely restaurants nearby and lots to do. We hope to return!

We arrived late- having been delayed and then subject to the whims of Heraklion's baggage handlers however despite it being the early hours of the day after we were due to arrive our cab driver (as arranged with Julia at the apartments) was still reliably standing there-never have I been so happy to see my name scribbled on a piece of scrap paper! Then after a very smooth ride on the new road across Crete we were greeted by Jenny at the complex (I hope she got overtime). We were shown our apartment - a bijoux affair- everything you needed in a comfortable and clean little package and complete with a bottle of water in the fridge for the night. perfect. So after a great nights sleep on possibly the second best mattress I've ever slept on (first was a place in Napflion- if you're interested!) we ventured into Elounda proper. well hello- it was all on the doorstep practically- perfect location.
After we investigated the little town (fabulous restaurants/bars/little market on a friday) we took in the complex itself (I call it a complex but with about 30 apartments it was small and friendly rather than a sprawling mass). Everything you could need, a pool, a pool bar, and all mobility accessible . The pool is 1.5m deep all over but there was also a small person's pool at 0.5m deep so safe for your small people- although you may want to keep an eye on them as the big pool is right next to the small pool and I can see it being easy for one of the smalls to accidentally fall in the big pool. The pool bar is an absolute gem and very reasonable- breakfast served between 9 and 12 (a mix of continental and british breakfast staples) and then a varied and, again, reasonably priced selection of lunch items served until 5pm (I can thoroughly recommend both the tuna and the gyros baguette).
The staff are all fabulous.
So it's a lovely place and, understandably, people come back year after year as such it can feel a little cliquey with whole families of great grand parents downwards bagsying sun loungers and then being absent for the day which I feel the management could address. Also people feel safe here with their kids, which is great, but it did mean some parents appeared to give up any form of parental responsibility and kids tended to run feral of an evening- mostly outside our apartment- which made relaxing on the balcony with a sundowner a little bit...kindergarden-ey.
Talking of balconies- ours was small- not enough room for 3 of us and the drying rack and as one of our things is sitting on our balcony of an evening this put a bit of a downer on the stay.
The pool appeared murky, however this is because it's part saltwater- a great sustainability measure given the availability of salt water vs fresh water- talking of which they are really trying to embrace sustainability here(set up recycling point, reuse of kitchen water for watering plants and this should be applauded)

We had a fantastic 8 days at the Olive Grove, our hosts could not have been more friendly and the bar, pool and food were all amazing. The fact that we met so many people who had been visiting the Olive Grove for several years told us everything. We will definitely be returning.
Thankyou, Fraser, Linda and Lily Coates from whitley bay, Northumberland

Super location, central yet quiet position in Elounda. Lovely swimming pool, so relaxing, with a good choice of snacks and meals available, all freshly prepared and fairly priced. We would certainly go there again.

Excellent central accommodation.
Friendliness of staff.
Good size rooms and very clean.
Social bar area in the evenings.
The pool and plenty of sun beds
Unfortunately we had to cut our trip very short due to Covid-19 English Government quarantine restrictions.
Very minor issues would be that the Wifi could be slightly better and would be good to have a TV in the room
4.5
Location perfect as all amenities of the village were to hand. Flat so ideal for older or less mobile people.
It would have been good to have air conditioning in the bedroom but this was not a big issue because there were only 2 in the accommodation so just left the door open.

Olive Grove has been the perfect base from which to explore a bit of Crete. Our apartment was exceptional clean, very comfortable and just what we needed.
A local, family run place with an extremely hospitable and friendly vibe. Nothing was too much trouble - Manos had even put milk in the fridge before our arrival for our morning tea and handed us a carafe of wine as we walked in!
The pool was perfect and a great spot for relaxing/reading. The location was perfect - just a few moments’ walk to the shops / tavernas of Elounda (which is a lovely, pretty fishing town).
Very efficient air conditioning and everything in perfect working order.
A very popular family spot so if watching little ones splash then might not be for you!
Very few complaints - perhaps a few more bits and bobs in the apartment to be able to be self-catered. We bought a salad bowl/Tupperware/sharp knife etc.
Toilet roll isn’t replenished...but luckily shops are very close!
