For my grandmothers 90th Birthday, my cousins and I decided to organise trips to places my grandmother had never been too. Crete was top her list, so me and one of my cousins decided to take her there. We chose Elounda Mare because of the fab reviews on tripadvisor and because it is Relais and Chateaux, which we usually love.... More

They do have a hotel but we opted for our own villa with private pool. We were greeted with a glass of champagne when we checked in. It was 5* all the way! Fabulous bathroom with everything you could want and a shower that doubles as a steamer and had more controls than I needed. They left us local treats... More

We had a beautiful saltwater pool in our room. What else can I say. The property is gorgeous and serene. Perfect honeymoon spot and beautiful room with a romantic view of the bay. Wow. We went a bit early in the season, so my only critique was that service could be a bit slow at times but always friendly.

Elounda Mare can be truly considered as one of the best place in the area. With its quite atmosphere it makes you fill peaceful and relaxed. I pretty like the hotels design, very special one. The hotel’s stuff is also attentive and helpful. It will be also significant to make a point on the beautiful private beach and on the... More

Beautiful & relaxing! We went end of May 2012 and had the place to ourselves. The service was superb, Manolis in particular bringing our mojitos to the beach! I can thoroughly recommend a walk to Elounda village and a meal at Olondi restaurant.

Me and my newly wed husband stayed here 10 days for our honeymoon. The first thing to mention was that we didn't really go at the right time of year, some rain and an empty hotel. Bearing in mind all the empty rooms our first looked nothing like what we paid for and came with a dead cockroach plus his... More

Regarding the occupancy, please keep in mind that at October 2012 we had an average of 72% . The way the hotel is built with all 40 bungalows with their private pools spread around 20,000 sqm of gardens, always gives a... More

We were in a bungalow with pool....it costs a little more but do it! It was warm weather when we stayed (33c) and we stayed mainly by the sea in daytime in the many little coves with your own beds.
