"Wow, just wow. Spotless clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Fantastic breakfasts you can have sitting next to the beach if you want. Great location. Rooftop pool was lovely, but not many sunbeds. Our room was great with a fridge, balcony and great shower. No hesitation in recommending it. We'll definitely go back."

"Couldn't find many recent reviews on Porto Elounda so I thought I'd try and help out a little. It seems as though the hotel has increased listings with major UK tour operators for the 2025 season so the May half term has seen an increase in British guests. The setting is beautiful on Mirabello Bay and the restaurants all look out onto the shimmering expanse of blue. The hotel is positioned on a relatively steep hill but the resort has many golf buggies whizzing around if you're struggling with mobility. The rooms are spacious and the addition of private pools is a bonus for families. We stayed in the spa wing of the resort and the interiors are a little dated. They've tried to upweight the offering and modernise with ipads in the rooms which allow restaurant bookings. Bizarrely. they still have dvd players in the rooms. The maid service is very thorough and you get regular room tidying which is a big bonus. I would say that this resort caters for very young children nicely. For those with slightly older children like ours there is very little to do. There is no entertainment on offer within the resort and the focus is very much on dining. Elies beach bar is a lovely set up but sometimes the service let it down during lunch servings. The best part of the visit was the trips to the neighbouring restaurants on a boat journey. This was really spectacular at night and added a splash of luxury feel to it. My final sentiments are about cost. The bar prices are incredibly expensive which is prohibitive for some. €16 for an Aperol is unrealistic. If this is the pricing model then fine but at least add a Happy hour into it to stop the pool staff having to ask guests to purchase drinks. A lovely location but work to be done on becoming a true 5* resort."

"We stayed for 3 nights as a ‘relax’ at the end of our holiday in Crete. The staff are wonderful and location was perfect for exploring Elounda. Only negative I would say is the air-con that was temperamental and only in kitchen so bedroom was very hot at night. Plenty of very comfortable loungers infront of the rooms at the front. Pool with swim up was a bonus. Kitchen would be limited if trying to self cater but with so many great restaurants around why would you. Probably the best shower I’ve ever had in a hotel anywhere around the world!"

"We arrived at night and it was strange. But waking up to a beautiful day with an amazing view. I can say that the food was lovely, especially the chicken. The pool was wonderful. Let’s congratulate the amazing staff….. first Nikos, lovely man and he cares about residence. Theo , humble and makes the bar a lovely atmosphere. Bianca at the pool bar, always smiling and chatty. All stafff were so nice. We grew to love this resort . Thankyou for a lovely week."

"This is not a 4 star hotel - it's 3 at a push. The positive points are that it's extremely well situated in Elounda which is a lovely place for a chilled quiet week in the sun with plenty of bars and restaurants (although absolutely no nightlife if you want to go out for a dance). The staff are helpful and friendly, our room was spacious with a sea view. However my advice is don't go half board here as the food isn't great - breakfast was just passable, Dinner was awful.... we ended up eating out every night so we felt that we'd wasted money going Half Board. Pool is lovely but very tired, we both got splinters from the decking as it's breaking up.. the pool itself needs a good clean - there's a green around the water beds... On a plus note - Nico the barman is a sweetheart - always smiling and helpful. This hotel needs some money spent on it's maintenance.... It's fine - just don't expect 4 star."

"We have been holidaying at Elounda Heights since 2019. We like it! This year we stayed in one of the Spinalonga Suites, one of their new rooms. We walked into the room, the curtains were pulled back and WOW! The most amazing view of the village, the bay and Spinalonga. The room was amazing. Large comfortable bed, large bathroom and shower and everything else you would need, dressing table, mirror, wardrobe, draws and small kitchenette. The room was also very tastefully decorated. The outside was stunning, chairs, table and luxury sunbeds, and let’s not forget the pool and view. Staff and service remain outstanding. Thank you once again Elounda Heights, see you next year."

"We like this hotel very much. We love Elounda anyway, and the hotel made our stay even more enjoyable. Lovely welcome, friendly staff (Maria and Filo in the restaurant were especially memorable) and the food and beverages - yes, more on the expensive side of things, but on the flip side, there was absolutely no rowdy / boozy culture here - were what you would expect for a hotel of this standard. The absolute best bit is that it always felt peaceful and quiet for such a large hotel whilst the beach, bathing area and water sports are just great. Looking forward to more stays here."

"We had a wonderful stay. The rooms were very clean, with a pleasant and spacious terrace. You are warmly welcomed by the two brothers, and the father keeps an eye on everything, as well as the staff, who are all very friendly. The food is delicious with a wide variety, and the location is excellent — everything is close by."
