Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

We stayed as a family of 5 in a 2 bed villa with pool with my mum in one of the newer doubles with spa bath. From the moment we arrived we were scooped up with amazing hospitality, the friendliness of staff and attentive service was faultless throughout the week. Special mention to Jenny, Chara and Panagiotis who went out of their way to make our stay extra special. We stayed in villa 705 which was opposite the pool and haute lounge making it ideal for teenagers to stroll late to breakfast without needing to call a club cart and offered us a very sheltered sun trap with gorgeous views. My mum's room 926 was quite exposed given that we were unlucky to visit on a very windy week in October. Location was great with the beach ideal for both children and granny to snorkel safely. Not much to see but a boat trip to spinalonga meant we had other opportunities. Restaurants were incredible with great choice and even the buffet Tholos had a different theme each night so always huge variety and the best standard of buffet dining we've had to date. The only issue we had was the confusion of knowing what was included in the dine around package and breakfast was often cold. Blend offered a nicer location for breakfast than Tholos but they struggled to keep up with demand so there was often a wait for things to be restocked. Accommodation was spotless and a wonderful team of housekeepers maintained it throughout the week, turn down service kept us stocked with plenty of water and the cart drivers were so punctual and helpful getting us about the hilly resort. I can't hesitate to recommend this hotel enough for the wonderful setting and facilities but the staff are what made our stay so special.

My husband and I had a truly spectacular experience at Domes. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Mrs Patsani who works tirelessly to ensure each and every guest is happy and well looked after. She is a credit to the Domes brand, a truly exceptional person. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Something I'm particularly picky about but it was faultless. The best part for me was the food...oh my goodness, it was heavenly! My favourite restaurant was Blend. They made the most amazing goats cheese salad. Everything was so fresh and of the highest quality. The chef presented everything beautifully. Great location overlooking Spinalonga. You can walk easily to Elounda and Plaka and we caught a bus directly outside of the hotel to Agios Nikolas. Perfect, absolutely perfect in every possible way. 10/10

We had an amazing time at Domes of Elounda! The complex is very beautiful, nestles pleasantly into the landscape and offers an incredible view of the island of Spinalonga. Luxury à la five stars! Great and spotlessly clean house, very comfortable beds and our own warm pool with an incredible view of the bay. The food at the Core is very nice and tasty, especially for families - our kids love this place. All our wishes were fulfilled. There were always problems with the bill regarding the dine around - but we were always more than accommodated. The Haute Living service is great! One morning, beautiful helium balloons were delivered at 9 o'clock sharp for my husband's birthday (I paid for them, of course). The hotel donated a magical chocolate cake and champagne for his birthday. The entire team deserves special mention - from the cleaning fairies to the hotel manager Pantelis. I would especially like to thank Eleni, Chara, Panos and Petros - wonderful, helpful people who always seem to be working. We went on great excursions with our two teenagers (Spinalonga, safari up to 1,200 meters above sea level, private boat trip, cube cruising and Easter night in Agios Nikolaos). However, there is one thing I would like to point out and have already discussed with the hotel manager: There were lots of nice activities for small children, but no real program for teenagers. The teens club is nicely done, but the focus is too much on gaming (Minecraft, Fortnight). There is definitely a need for action here. Nevertheless, I can say that I have rarely returned home so deeply relaxed and satisfied, because practically every wish was read from our eyes - simply an amazing team!

Amazing experience, really 5 star resorts with kids club , pool , restaurant and what not… you will get what you are looking for. We have booked half board with villa. You won’t need to spend any more than that. Food is nice . Beach is really nice with so many different kinds water sports.

No way to summarize all but to say that I have never seen such an amazing stuff, service food and accommodation. I have no words for the amount of effort all the stuff is doing to make you feel amazing. Each of the guests is special to them. Service again is something that you fine see every day. Clean rooms all the time by the stuff. Amazing activities and amazing in house restaurants. This is the only place to go in Crete. You won’t regret it. It deserves 7 stars!!!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom luxury residence with a private heated pool. The accommodation is of very high quality and the views are amazing. My only criticism is that the pool is very cold and does not appear to be heated that much. We have a young child who found it far too cold to stay in for more than a couple of minutes. The hotel maintenance team were informed and made attempts to improve it, but to no avail. The food was very good and the staff made us feel very valued and went out of their way to ensure our stay was the best it could be. We would certainly come back, but in August when the pools are warmer.
