We try to get to Crete twice a year, but with the arrival of a baby daughter, we have not been since 2010. We tend to travel all over the island when there but always stopping off at this hotel when in Elounda. All of the rooms that are part of the main hotel are very modern, but not high... More

We have just come back from a 4 night stay. Half board. Total Cost £161.00 for 2 of us. I read all the past reviews and have to say i dont agree about the rooms at all. we paid an extra £12 and upgraded to standard Bungelow. We got a superior bungelow and it was realy good. We were going... More

we have just returned from a week stay at the Elounda llion, all I can say is amazing. The pool area was clean, plenty of sun loungers that people had not got up at 5am to put towels on!!. We stayed in a superior sea view room it was clean,spacious and the view was amazing. Staff could not have being... More

Elounda Ilion is set in beautiful surroundings, staff all most helpful and rooms clean, though some rooms larger than others. Breakfast better than expected for Greece, though buffet dinner not wonderful. You can get much better food in most the tavernas in town, but the downside to this is that it is a good 30 minutes' walk to get there,... More

After seeing all the lovely pictures of this hotel on internet,we were so disapponted when we were shown to rooms 50 and 51.No sign of a refurbishment here.What does one have to pay these days to be given a room of an acceptable standard.Hard bed,mismatched furniture,tatty curtain,disgusting grouting and smell in bathroom.However,room was cleaned every day and we did receive...

We cannot fault this hotel at all. We booked here whilst staying at another hotel in Crete, as the service was poor there so we moved. We found this little gem on the internet, told them we were moving to their hotel as we wanted a quiet room so we could relax and actually sleep at night and from the... More

What a great find - a lovely hotel with amazingly friendly and helpful staff - they really couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. Our room was spotless and well appointed and we were upgraded to a better room - a nice bonus. The pool area was lovely - again, very clean and the pool was... More

My daughter got married in Elounda beginning of September 2011 and our 94 guests stayed at the Ilion Hotel. It proved to be an excellent choice. Spectacular views, helpful management, friendly staff, good food, clean and good accommodation, reasonably priced. I thank the Ilion management on behalf of the 94 very satisfied guests. More

I spent 5 days in Hotel Ilion with a friend for a last minute getaway. To be honest it was a long way to go for 5 days: at least 4 hour flight, 2 hour transfer, meant we were left with only 3 days. Dont underestimate how traumatic the journey can be! it is probably supposed to be an hours... More
