Elounda Akti Olous - Adults Only

“Perfection by the sea”

This was a return visit to the hotel, as all previous visits have been excellent. The location cannot be bettered, close enough to the town centre, but far enough away not to be noisy. It's a sign that I'm getting old that I appreciate it being adults only. The rooms are clean and tidy, and alth… more

This was a return visit to the hotel, as all previous visits have been excellent. The location cannot be bettered, close enough to the town centre, but far enough away not to be noisy. It's a sign that I'm getting old that I appreciate it being adults only. The rooms are clean and tidy, and although small we find that as you only sleep in them it doesn't matter. We actually had a room in the annexe, slightly larger but with a poor view of an overgrown olive grove. But again, the room is just to sleep in. The meals are excellent. Breakfast is buffet style, with more than enough choice, dinner is from the a la carte menu with a ( small) supplement for the more expensive items. Dinner on the jetty across the road is very pleasant! All the staff are pleasant and welcoming, a big shout out to Popi who seems to work all hours God sends! Elounda is a lovely town / village, and having researched other accommodation we have booked for next year already.

Fantastic holiday and so relaxed and chilled. Two weeks of sheer bliss. Our flight was delayed from Liverpool so we arrived around 1am having been deposited in side street of Elounda and walking down narrow cobbled street, we were a little concerned. We woke next morning to a wonderful blue sky and full sunshine, glorious after our miserable English summer! We had a side sea view. Ok balcony is on tight side but to see that view. Breakfast was amazing and all of the hotel and eating areas are spotless and the staff are always cleaning and catering to all ones needs. Staff very polite and pleasant. Effy is lovely and works so hard. We often had lunch on beach. There is a snack menu. Bliss having a glass of wine served on the beach. Most days we just relaxed on the private beach or at the roof top pool with its amazing views. Another plus side to this hotel is adults only. Double bonus. Everything is within walking distance. We ate a few nights at the restaurant and once again food was amazing. The owners of the hotel have invested and spent money. Nice little touches, comfortable sun beds, decent parasols. Safe and air conditioning in rooms. We often used to have a cocktail in evening in rooftop bar, Spiros is lovely and so friendly, we miss him. Lovely cool breeze in evening. We will be back, thank you.

We stayed half board, lovely food,well presented and plenty of it. Only downside was the miserable head waiter. Never made any conversation, always rushed you and seemed to spend all his time trying to attract new customers.

This was our second visit to this hotel. We love the location, cleanliness and very good breakfasts. The staff are nice especially one of the male receptionists - evening time. He has a really good sense of humour. I have to say that the Sky Bar annoyed us this year with the Ibiza Club music mid morning onwards. Guests were reading and relaxing - there is no call for it. We would definitely stay again but would choose a room away from the staircase as the noise filters through from the open reception area and Sky Bar at the end of the evening. Overall a very good hotel.
