Our recent stay at Elounda Bay Palace was quite relaxing, thanks to beautiful grounds and helpful staff who made our time enjoyable. However, the dining options were disappointing at times, particularly with the buffet selections, which felt lackluster. The location was an advantage, with easy access to nearby towns. A few minor issues regarding management responsiveness left us feeling that overall, the experience didn't quite align with the five-star expectations.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the beautiful landscaping and private beaches provided a lovely setting for relaxation, the dated rooms and high drink prices were disappointing. The service varied, with some staff being incredibly attentive, while others fell short of expectations. Overall, it may not be quite the luxurious experience advertised, but the location and ambiance do have their charm.

The rooms were dated and in need of refurbishment. We encountered issues like a fly infestation, which the management treated with spray, yet it was not an ideal situation for us.

Nestled in a lovely bay, the location is beautiful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. It was about a 10-minute walk to a charming village with nice bars and scenery.

My stay at this resort had its high points and low points. The grounds were absolutely breathtaking, and the variety of pools was fantastic, especially for families like mine. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, with the breakfast being quite repetitive and dinner being constantly understaffed, leading to long waits. Additionally, the family suite was not as spacious as I had anticipated, which was disappointing. Overall, it's a beautiful property with excellent amenities but needs to improve dining and room functionality.

Rooms
6.0
The family suite was somewhat cramped and didn't provide the space I expected for two adults and two kids. The setup was not ideal as the King-size bed was just two double beds pushed together.
Service
7.0
The staff was incredibly friendly, especially the babysitting service which was fantastic and my children adored their sitter. However, the overall service seemed stretched and slow at times due to understaffing.
Location

The resort is conveniently located near two charming towns, making it easy to explore local markets and experiences, which I recommend as the resort's prices are high.
Dining
5.0
The dining options at breakfast lacked variety and wavered in quality at dinner, often leading to long waits and items running out too quickly.
Facilities

The grounds were truly stunning, featuring well-maintained gardens and a variety of pools, but the play area for children was outdated and in need of repair.

I had a wonderful family holiday at Elounda Bay Palace where the accommodations were fantastic and the staff went above and beyond for us. The backdrop of stunning grounds and pools was perfect for relaxing, and the food options were plentiful and enjoyable. However, the breakfast buffet remained the same each day, and the staff at dinner could have been a bit more attentive given the crowds. Overall, it was a great experience, especially for families.

The hotel has a fantastic location with easy beach access and great availability of sunbeds. The rooms are spacious and well serviced, providing a good level of comfort. However, some aspects, like dining, can be overpriced and the variety limited, which could be improved. If you're looking for a quiet spot, it's worth considering, but be prepared for a few shortcomings in service and food pricing.
