Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

Fantastic location and beautiful resort. Easy to get around the resort on golf buggies and staff were always friendly and helpful. The room was really well designed and ergonomic with lots of facilities. Food in the restaurants was great too. The sea around the resort is beautiful and great for swimming.

We stayed in a Core apartment with a pool. Upon arrival, the children received toys, and the staff explained everything about the resort and were extremely helpful. The resort itself is very large and steep. If you stay, for example, near the reception, you can walk to the really beautiful sandy beach, which has two bars/restaurants (belonging to the hotel), super soft sand for children, and a really nice view of Spinalonga. If you are in the Core area, it is easier to walk to the pool, but the path to the house is steep. However, golf carts frequently drive around Elounda and are happy to give you a ride, but it can be quite time-consuming. The apartment was spacious and nice, and I liked the Naxos Apothecary cosmetics. Given the price range and my level of travel, there could have been a daily refill of the minibar for free, but you only get it the first time. Food: Since we were with children and had Haute Living, we ate at the buffet (part of the hotel). The food was average. The air conditioning was quite strong; even when we set it to 27°C, it was freezing. Fitness: The fitness area is outdoors. If you have Haute Living, there is also an indoor fitness area, but it is very small. I have no complaints about the resort itself and would come again The resort is so large that people are quite spread out. In the Core area, events only happen on Thursdays, which were really great and lively, but on all other days, it was closed, and there were no special activities.

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, well kept and has amazing views. We liked the decor and size of our rooms, the grounds of the hotel, tennis court, outdoor gym, kids and teen club, and beach. The staff is very friendly and kind. Everyone goes out of their way to exceed expectations, with a special thanks to Sara from Haute Living and Chara from Blend. Kids loved the different activities such as movie night and the bubble show at Core.

Really nice beach area, beautiful clean water, outstanding views from anywhere in the resort. Comfortable beds. Attentive and kind housekeeping staff. Great F&B, room service a bit expensive but plentiful. Really enjoyed showers and locker rooms available which can be used when checking-out late.

The place was like a paradise in many ways, it was calm well put together, and the team were extremely good at caring for any needs we had. Dimitri, the manager, was the great, accommodating, and very attentive. His attention to detail was extremely good. There were other members of the team who were especially kind; Katrina and Natalia were excellent front of house team and cared for us very well. Dimitris, the Sommelier, was also extremely good at his job and was very kind. The range of different restaurants was great for our week long stay and the food was generally good exceptional.
