“aesthetically attractive, among olive trees”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

Although I usually don't like large or even medium size resorts, Elies Resort in Sifnos is the exception that proves the rule. Located near Vathi (or Vathy), a picturesque and sheltered harbor, frequented by sailboats, Elies Resort is set among hundreds of Olive trees (hence its name I suppose), hibiscus trees and bougainvilleas, superbly maintained. Artfully designed, the complex is very pleasing to the eye, spreading amphitheatrically on a 50,000 sq. meter site with wonderful views of Vathi harbor and village.

The Suites are decorated in an enjoyable minimal style and offer many amenities, from the soft bedding with fluffy pillows and supple comforting mattresses to plush bath towels, beach towels and Cypress spa robes. They offer two bathrooms, a small kitchen area, a spacious bedroom and a separate living room, both of which face the wonderful patio with a private swimming pool with salt water. We wished we had a better Internet connection in the room but this is only a minor issue.

Housekeeping is praiseworthy. Both ladies who serviced our room were very eager, competent and most of all, pleasant. The Front Office ladies were very hospitable and helpful throughout our stay. And so was the Room Service gentleman who took our breakfast order each morning. After the 2nd day he knew our preferences so we didn’t have to repeat them anymore. It surely makes a difference, knowing that someone is paying attention! Room service was well-timed and well presented and so were the servers. Many thanks to all.

By staying at a Suite in Elies, one gets the feeling of vacationing in his/her summer private home. The surrounding area is tranquil and as unusual as this may sound, the property provides an “old-world” Greek summer charm, pure and genuine yet luxurious.

Vathi is 15 km. driving distance from Kamares, the island’s main port but it is well worth the drive. A short 5’ drive, from Elies resort to the coastal village of Vathi and a short walk after that takes you to one of the best tavernas of the island, right by the monastery of Taxiarchis, named ‘To Tsikali’ where you dine on only local specialties on tables set right on the seaside.

Perfect island, great people, wonderful hotel.

“Definitely recommended”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

Went there a few summers back with the family and booked one of the suites. A great chill out place for a 3 day relaxing stay. The beach linked to the hotel was alright, but other nearby beaches are better. The service is amazing and the staff were really all helpful, welcoming and warm.
The breakfast is a highlight, it was very good and diverse, especially good was its location next to the water where you can feel the sea breeze in the morning.
I recommend this resort for a nice relaxing getaway, one of the best in Sifnos.

Small, beautiful hotel located on a picturesque tiny bay, at Vathi where you feel as time has stopped. Staff is friendly and polite and helpful, this makes the hotel special as you feel like a guest not like a customer! A definite recommendation to any one visiting Sifnos!

“Elegant hotel, exceptional service and relaxing ambience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

We recently visited the Elies Resort in Sifnos. A wonderfully elegant resort, with warm, hospitable, and professional staff. Outstanding service especially from Rita at Housekeeping who went out of her way to assist repair my basketbag. Certainly beyond the call of duty but it exemplified the personal attention that prevails. Our room, #404 was spacious, light, minimalistically modern along the LIM psyche and one that suited the environs. Breakfast was delicious and bountiful. An enjoyable stay in Sifnos where we met wonderful people. Highly recommend this resort hotel.

“GOOD BUT NOT THAT GREAT”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2009
3
people found this review helpful

To begin with the hotel from the outside is great, that puts you into a very good mood. The hotel has the most helpful and charming staff. They kill themselves to serve you. But the rooms are another story. We reserved superior rooms ( four rooms ) at the rate of 390 Euros a night, although on their web site those rooms were described as with sitting area and large bathroom with bathtub and sea view, what we got was not that at all. None of our rooms mathced this description. Most were without sea view and sitting area, and ours had a very small toilet and a shower at the opposite end of the room. When we complained they tried to sell us the junior suites for 560 Euros a night when we refused they told us that the was full. The hotel was practically empty.So they wanted to push us to get the suites. The pool side restaurant has a very limited menu but the food is very tasty.
The main restaurant has fantastic service and food. It is expensive, but in a resort you expect that. The beach in front of the hotel, although has sufficient private sun area, is a public beach in very sorry condition and the sea is usually choppy with clean waters. The breakfast is incredible, it includes even Moet champagne and every sort of eggs and beverages. I would recomend this hotel conditionally.
