We just got back from a four nights stay at the Elounda Bay Palace. I must say that we were afraid to be disappointed, since our original destination of travel was Thailand...but Elounda Bay Palace was a total surprise to the best. The hotel is realy beautiful, probably the most beautiful we've ever been to, the staff is exceptionaly friendly... more

We spent ten pleasant days here in June, having stayed in its more luxurious sister hotel , the Elounda Beach, on an earlier trip. We chose the Bay because the rates in the Beach had escalated alarmingly, making it suitable only for Russian plutocrats and recipients of huge city bonuses! Both hotels are in an incomparable natural setting but whereas... more

Returning to Elounda Bay Palace after 6 years we wondered if the hotel would still be as good. We need not have worried. The hotel is one of the best we have stayed in. The staff are all extremely friendly and very helpful. We had a side sea view room which was excellent. Maid service twice a day. We were... more

Upon arrival at the hoel we were meant at the front gate and escorted in by a lovely girl from guest services. The room was slightly dated (side sea view) however it was clean and perfectly habitable for a week stay. The complex itself is lovely, clean and the facilities are excellent. We used the place as a holiday to... more

The beach i must say was lovely and the pool was nice, however towards the end of our stay (mid august) it became very busy and was difficult to find a sun bed. Nice family hotel with good sporting facilities (tennis... more

Really lovely setting. The staff in the reception area and the sail bar were smashing - ever so attentive and pleasant. . However it is the first time I have stayed in a 5 star hotel and found all the guests drinking water at dinner. it was a bit bizarre! We read a review prior to going there which mentioned... more

My friend and I arrived in Crete and found ourselves in the unfortunate situation of staying in the Elounda Blue Bay. As my friend had already stayed in the Elounda Bay Palace with her family we went there to check out their rates to see if we could change hotels. The hotel were more than accommodating of our situation and... more

We have just returned from a week at Elounda Bay Palace. It was my third time at this hotel. This hotel is magnificent and the service and management are outstanding! There is a very large luxurious outdoor pool as well as an equally large indoor pool. The sea is amazing as it is in a bay and the views from... more
