Everything was perfect!
We had a wonderful stay at Elounda Gulf Villas. The suite was luxurious, clean, and beautifully maintained. A special mention to the guys at the bar — their service was exceptional and truly made our experience unforgettable. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

Our six night stay here was split between the junior suite we had booked and a 1+ BR pool villa we transferred to. Comparing the two there is a difference in the bathrooms etc with the junior suite being more updated. We were disappointed that none of the jacuzzis were hot and that our pool could not be heated. Even the advertised jacuzzis at the spa and main pool are cold. The GM did agree to transfer us and at least heated our villa pool to a lukewarm temperature…at a 90 euro per day charge. Apparently during July and August they do not need heated but cannot imagine using them cold the other months. On the plus side the once a day housekeeping was fine. The breakfast buffet and staff were terrific. And the golf cart drivers are the best snd absolutely needed for the very steep hillside travel. We only used the beach club one day and found George there to be very helpful however the beach itself was not what we expected and actually just went to the Elounda beach. The location was good to travel to Elounda, Plaka, and Agios Nikolaos.

This very special villa/suite hotel is like a corner of paradise. We had a villa with its own infinity pool, it was luxurious and very private. The facilities are great, with a main pool and comfortable sun beds. Everything is provided for the comfort of guests. The views are spectacular and the grounds well kept and attractive. Don’t worry about the hill, golf buggies are on hand to run you around. The breakfast is incredible, from smoke salmon to fabulous fruit platters, a huge range of bread and pastries and plenty of hot options; even do it yourself mimosas. The beach club is perfect with a minibus on hand to take you to and from the hotel. However, what really makes this place special is the staff. They cannot do enough for you and are exceptional. Elounda itself is utterly charming with a range of shops and fabulous restaurants. It is walkable (about 30 mins downhill) but get one of the very smart Mercedes taxis back - 11 euros. We were sad to leave and will definitely be going back!

Just returned from a six night stay at this absolutely wonderful place! We stayed in Knossos villa which had a beautiful heated infinity pool with an incredible view. The (luxury) villa was very well equipped with sauna, jacuzzi and gym and beautifully decorated. Special thank to Louise at reception – friendly, professional and helpful – who looked after us so well – booking restaurants, organising our trip (to Richtis Gorge with a very knowledgeable guide) and anything else we needed. Breakfast was exceptional and evening dinner was very relaxing in front of the main pool. The private beach was a short (free) shuttle ride where we were welcomed with towels and iced water and plenty of sun beds. Nearby Elounda (five minutes in taxi) has lots of little restaurants and shops and Plaka, Spinalonga and Agio Nikolaos are also very near and really worth visiting. We were blessed with perfect weather for the whole of our stay – a lovely time of year to visit. All in all, an amazing holiday – would love to return soon!

Just back from 5 days here and it was blissful. Exactly what we needed for rest and relaxation. We stayed in Spinalonga villa which was a very kind upgrade from what we had booked and we were so grateful as we had fantastic space including a fully equipped kitchen. The villa was so clean and bright - we had to tear ourselves away to venture elsewhere. The views, the food, the staff, the surroundings - all perfect. Just the little touches like the plentiful pool towels, the gorgeous freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast, the excellent toiletries and the plants - the beautiful plants and shrubs that are so well tended to. It just makes the stay so much more enjoyable. The staff are so wonderful: helpful but not intrusive. Special shout out to the wonderful restaurant staff, particularly Kathila. Thank you all so much. We walked in to Elounda which was a 30 minute or so walk - we taxied back (€11 - not expensive). We stopped at another lovely hotel - Elounda Mare - for a cocktail on the way into town. Really gorgeous views from there too. We spent most of the time reading at the villa or by the pool or the private beach. The weather was ideal - 23/24c. One tip - google maps suggests there is a supermarket near the hotel which isn’t the case (it’s closed) so pick up any supplies in Elounda if needed. There isn’t anything I would change about the trip other than that I wish I had booked for 7 days!

We just finished a week stay with my pregnant wife and 2.5 year old daughter. As with any holiday with a toddler there are inevitably ups and downs and the EGV team couldn’t have been more considerate, helpful and caring. The chef made delicious off menu pasta and omelettes for our daughter and Athina was incredibly sweet and sensitive at the kids club, doing painting and Easter crafts. George made superb cocktails and mocktails for us and some fresh strawberries for our daughter and Constantinos and the restaurant team couldn’t have been more supportive. Maria and the front desk team were lovely and had lots of very helpful advice and we didn’t have any of the additional charges that other guests have spoken of with the previous management. The lovely warm pool with our room was at no extra charge and the views from it were spectacular. I’d also recommend the beautiful trail walk around the opposite peninsula - Spinalogkas. It’s totally unspoiled and has such a magical feel to it. We had a great trip and would come back again.
