Set in the bay of Elounda, close to the buzzing fishing villiage and overlooking the famed Spingalonga Island ( subject of the book The Island) is this perfect, spotlessly clean, impeccable hotel. We treated ourselves to a room with private pool, but the main hotel and pool are just as lovely. Private beach, clear water, hotel restaurant serving fine food...

We chose the Elounda Mare even though we have a 1 year old baby because it is a Relais et Chateaux, although we were told that this company has a sister hotel next door which is much more child friendly. This is a chain we trust and we always like to visit their hotels. And we are so glad we...

The service was great, the staff was incredible polite, the food fantastic, the views:unreal! We went with my husband for a week and just got back. It was quiet, peaceful and so relaxing! The bungalow we were staying at was also great. The decoration was inspired by Crete, which made you feel that this was a unique place. It couldn't...

this is a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting;it feels more as if you are entering a large villa surrounded by a cretan village due to the gardens, bungalows and the few shops surrounding the lovely orthodox church within the grounds.Although the hotel was busy it was always very quiet -no rowdy quests here[is this what a previous reviewer thought...

For true luxury on Crete, Elounda Mare is the perfect hotel. Perched on the edge of a beautiful, desolate peninsula at the most Eastern point of Crete, the Elounda Mare literally has its toes dipped right into the bright blue Mediterranean sea. There’s a pool which you would expect, but there is also beautiful sandy beach front and the room...

We absolutely loved the Elounda Mare - we stayed in one of the private bungalows with our own private garden and pool and can truly say it was some of the best accommodation we have experienced. The bungalow, the view, the pool, the garden, the room service, the food, the staff, the bar, the library to find more books to...

We have traveled to Greece many times and have visited every major island and many smaller ones. Elounda is not our favorite town. From late spring to early fall it's expensive, filled with tourists (European and Russians). However, the elounda mare hotel is like Eden on Earth. It is our favorite hotel in the entire world. We have been there...

Absolutely fabulous location and building - but overall it is VERY disappointing.... The staff basically do not care whether you are satisfied or not. We asked to change rooms and were told that we were already in a wonderful room and what was our problem ? We asked to have the fireplace lit this evening as the weather is bad...

This is one of the best hotels you will ever visit Romantic, quiet with great staff and food. With nice rooms and fantastic spa. The hotel has everything someone is looking for a peaceful holiday by the sea and we definitely recommend it to who ever reads this review.
Regarding the comment of a user that "people that vacation there...

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Elounda Mare. It sounds like a completely different hotel from the previous review. We had a wonderful relaxing time and would not hesitate to recommend it. It is rather disparaging to call fellow guests 'snobby'......I just saw many people unwinding and enjoying their holiday and the peace of their surroundings.....
