It was middle of September when the airplane was landed at the airport of Heraklion in Crete. I and my family were looking forward to arrive at the hotel which we had chosen for our holidays. At the time we arrived there the surprise was great. The view was something that we had never seen. The physical view was unexpected.... more

My friends and I are looking forward to returning to Elounda Gulf Villas & Suites this year. We found the setting to be idyllic, with beautiful views of the sea. Our villa had its own pool and terrace, and that was great for reading a book or taking a dip in the pool. Great food, a warm and friendly staff,... more

Just recomened this hotel to a friend and he pointed out a bad review on TripAdvisor. So I felt that I have to write a bit about my stay as this is truly a great hotel. We booked a Villa directly with the hotel and from the moment of arrival until the departure we were very well looked after. At... more

Time to think about booking this years holidays, not difficult in this house. We will definately going back for another tailor made holiday at the Elounda Gulf Villas.

It was so bad we left after one... more

I have just returned from my 2nd week back to the beautiful Elounda Gulf Villas. I previously wrote a review back in May - but really felt the need to update this - to say just how overwhelmed I was with the warmth of the staff upon my return. From word go, I was welcomed like an old friend -... more

Just in our second week here. Food very high quality, and the service is charming, professional, and very friendly. We upgraded in resort to a Villa. Expensive, but we felt it was worth it. The suites are very good accomodation, but the balconies, and view were a bit limited. In all one of the best hotels we have ever stayed... more

Other reviews of this place are generally accurate. It is very discreet, beautifully appointed and the staff around the main pool and restaurant are outstanding. It is also true that it is extremely quiet, so there is little atmosphere, and that the sea view from the suites and the pool area is partially obscured by power lines and the back... more
