Beatiful place with everything you need.

Everything, from the process before coming in until the very end (and after). We stayed a bit long after check out on the pool.

We didn't like that we had to leave.

We loved being there and will come back.

Giannis and his team are the perfect hosts for your stay and vacation in Gouves. Everyone is so kind and offers you help whenever you need it. We felt comfortable and are already missing the hosts. The hotel area is very nice and clean. You can relax there, go for a swim or eat something homemade until late afternoon. Also the interior is beautiful and well chosen. Our apartment was very cozy and clean. Everyone has got his own balcony, so you have got enough privacy. The breakfast was awesome! The homemade banana chocolate pancakes were the best we ever had and a pleasure to eat. You will get a basket of bread, marmalade, coffee or tea as well and something sweet and after that you can choose between four amazing main dishes. All of them were great and delicious. A must have, when you stay at Elea Suites Hotel. The hotel is also located very well. It takes five minutes to the beach and to be surrounded by some great Cretan taverns. It was easy to get there by bus, if you arrive at Heraklion Airport. All in all we loved being there for two weeks and we can recommend a stay to everyone!

We would recommend that it is better to rent a car if you are looking for to stay for a longer time in gouves, so its easier to get to the supermarket or another beaches. Giannis helped us finding a car to rent, so we could go for another places by car on some days.

Beautiful apartment with amazing staff!!

The family run property is well taken care of and the staff is very helpful. Their pool is relaxing and lovely and the “breakfast” is served all day on a shaded patio. The beach, restaurants and shops are all walking distance and they have ample parking for guests. There are many olive and fruit trees and a garden with many vegetables. our favorite excursions were recommended by the hotel staff!!

The second bed in the living room was very firm—too much for our liking. The property is also located under the airport flight path. This didn’t bother us often, but maybe it would be an issue for others.

Relaxing stay in welcoming atmosphere, good location away from any noise and near good restaurants.

Pretty pool area with lovely breakfast/snack menu at poolside terrace. Beds very comfortable and linens and towels changed regularly. Owner and family extremely helpful and gave great suggestions for beaches and restaurants to visit. We even had veggies from the garden.

Bathroom small and difficult to manage water escaping from shower area. No dry area to place belongings whilst showering. Shower curtain was a bit of a nuisance. Kitchen area needs upgrade but this could be work in progress as others looked more contemporary in photos. No work surface available to prepare food.

Superb stay for an incredible price

Incredible value, great location, lovely host. An all round great stay. We were greeted with a warm welcome and a refreshing lemonade, and made to feel at home. Room was superb - bed comfy, AC good, kitchen well equipped.

Nothing - would come back tomorrow.

A lovely, relaxing getaway with exceptionally accommodating and friendly staff.

Staying at the Elea Suites the past week was such a nice break from reality. The perfect weather combined with a large, clean pool made for some lazy, relaxing days... aka a key ingredient for a holiday. The best part of staying here is that you are staying at a genuinely well-run family hotel. The family is involved from the first minute of taking care of you, getting to know how they can help you have the holiday that you're seeking, and also serving tasty, homemade breakfasts in the morning. They were very kind and friendly anytime that we met. What I can say about the rooms is that they are well-equipped, comfortable and a very good value for the money. The hotel offers on-site parking and also a concierge service for taxis. My wife and I personally found the location of the hotel accommodating for the large majority of our daily needs, even just by walking. A few times we wanted to travel further we simply asked the family to set up a taxi for us and it was arranged with no effort.

Nothing to report! ;)

Great place!

Great place to stay, run by a very friendly family. Clean and big swimming pool. Nice breakfast! Great value for your money.

Our apartment was located next to a busy road. So there is noise from passing cars when sitting on the balcony or sleeping with the windows open.

Awesome hosts!

The hosts have been wonderful. They checked our aiport pick up, welcomed us with a cold drink, organized a rental car within minutes and gave us some really nice recommendations for the island. They made our stay so easy to enjoy. The room was tidy, pool fresh, sea and taverns are in walking distance! 10/10

Back to nature!

Wonderful hospitality! Welcome drink, friendly hosts & breakfast by Mariah was great (fresh eggs from the free range hens). Love the Scandinavian style furnishing and recommendation for a local dinner 5min by car. Away from the center, I enjoyed the quiet time compared to staying at Heraklion old town. 13min to Heraklion airport by car.

Would be great to include a hair dryer (most important), a cup holder for toothbrush/ rinsing and a shelf for putting own toiletries bag.

Excellent hosts, great location & trendy suite!

Great location - easy walking distance to lots of tavernas, bars/cafes, supermarket and Gouves beach. We got the bus from Heraklion airport to a bus stop that was five minutes walk to the property - cost us less than 5 EUR for the both of us, so a much cheaper option than getting a taxi. Great hosts! Giannis & his family were very friendly and were always on hand to help with any questions and provide recommendations. Our favourite restaurant that Giannis recommended was Logari - food cooked in a traditional fire oven. We also enjoyed the Island Restaurant for a sunset dinner, and we hired a car to visit Plaka beach as recommended by Giannis. Great room - we loved the design of the bedroom in our suite! There is also a smart TV in the living room so you can sign into Netflix and watch a movie in the evening etc. Breakfast - you can pay to have breakfast at the property for 8.5 EUR per person. To start, you get coffee/tea, juice, croissant, toast and cake. Then you can pick from a choice of cooked options, including homemade pancakes with chocolate sauce & banana (our favourite).

The only two things I would note is that the living room area doesn’t have an air conditioning unit, so it can get a bit warm in there relative to the bedroom. Also, the shower area is quite narrow, so we found that the shower curtain tends to get stuck to you and it is more of a wet room.

The place is in a really convenient position (20 minutes by car from Heraklion) and a great deal for price. A huge thank you to the wonderful staff who gave us suggestions for local restaurants, helped us planning the trip to Samarias Gorges (must do!) and even printing the documents requested for the ferry. Absolutely recommended!

Really nice bedroom, well designed and thought! The bed was huge and really comfortable. Breakfast on the patio was great, but mostly industrial jams and bread, except for some delicious homemade quiche and carrot cake on sunday!

The shower was really small so the curtain was sticking on us all the time.

fantastic - exactly what I was looking for

Elea Suites & Residences is a fantastic accommodation that I can fully recommend. The rooms are wonderful, everything is very clean, the bed is super comfortable (!!!), the small terrace invites you to stay. But the most amazing thing is the breakfast - never before have I had such a great, healthy and varied breakfast in a small hotel. Every day a variation of fruit, yogurt and other things awaits you. A dream! And maybe also interesting: The internet connection is stable. I could work from here without any problems. Skype conferences are also no problem. It's a wonderful place to stay and it's also suitable to simply move the office to the sea. To the city: It has everything you need. It is a very small place, but it has supermarkets (also a bigger one), a beach (wonderful!) and some restaurants. The apartments are located about 5-8 minutes walking distance from the beach. I thought that was wonderful, so you have enough peace and quiet. So in short: I would come back here anytime.

nothing!
