Sheer luxury

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: A bit pricy!

...spent a week at the Blue Palace July 2005 for our honeymoon. We could not have picked a better place. We chose a room with a private infinity pool, which was lovely with a stunning view of the tiny island of Spinalonga. The rooms were impeccable, and clean. Breakfast was included in the price which we ate on our patio every morning (4 euro charge) as opposed to the buffet style restaurant. For ony 4 euros it is well worth it. Although the hotel was ...
...can always find a lounger by the pool, comy sofa to sit on by the bar etc. The complex has a number of restaurants including an a la carte restaurant. We ate several times at the restaurants but preferred to either take a tax into Elounda (10 euro taxi) or the 2 minute stroll down the road to Plaka, a sleepy fishing village. The fish dishes in the restaurants in both Plake and Elounda were delcious and very reasonably priced. Only one thing, if ...

Review of Blue Palace Resort & Spa, Elounda

Holidaying On A Budget

Advantages: Economic accomodation
Disadvantages: Very basic

The Elounda Gulf, is a very basic accommodation offering. It sits just to the East of Elounda itself (approximately 10 minutes walk) and overlooks the bay and a variety of Hotels. The complex is a series of Chalet style accommodation, each suite sits slightly higher that the last carved into a slow rising hill. On the two main occasions I have stayed here I have spent my time at the top tier of the complex. All the suites are identical, none better ...
...alone twice. First of all Elounda has grown quite considerably since my first visit in 1986, and staying in the town or larger accommodation can be just too noisy for my liking. The second thing is the bar, and what a service we have here. Demitris runs the bar, 7 days a week for the entire holiday season. He arrives at 4pm and stays until your ready to go to bed, regardless of the time. Demetris is more than just a barman, he is your best friend; ...

Review of Elounda Gulf Villas, Elounda

Excellent Hidden Gem

Advantages: Price Service Location Cleanliness
Disadvantages: Not for clubbers location is quiet

Wonderful wonderful holiday. Booked with Thomson for £600 for two ppl for one week and had a rep onsite every day. Basic but clean crisp family run apartments. With Air conditioning and small kitchenette, very spacious with french doors onto terrace. Wonderful small pool and terrace kept impeccably clean with a grange of sunbeds tables and a sheltered area by pool. Full greek and English meals were offered which were beautifully cooked, (one ...
...of forced I don't normally eat where I stay) Themed nights and barbecues a couple of times a week. Very generous and reasonably priced with Greek dancing thrown in we were all impelled to learn! Not in centre of town, a 5min walk to amenities and opposite an Aldi, which is useful when self catering and it did ensure peaceful evenings, and taxi rank 2 mins away. Recommended ...

Holiday to Crete Review 3 - The Hotel

Advantages: Secluded location, Sea-front, Great variety of accommodation, Lots of Activities.
Disadvantages: 2 1/2 hour transfer from Herakolin Airport

...in a secluded, sea-front location, Elounda Bay Palace Hotel is a well maintained, friendly and cooperative environment to stay in for a fortnight. I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of this hotel as it sounded so unbelievable in the brochure that I thought it was to good to be true. However, I was proven wrong, happily! The Hotel is set in twenty acres of very well maintained gardens that are impeccable. It also has some of the best accommodation ...

Review of Elounda Bay Palace, Elounda

Independent travellers find Real Crete at Villa Aliki in Myrtos!

Advantages: Year round subshine, warm sea, empty beaches, all facilities, good price, no herds of tourists.
Disadvantages: Very difficulty to say goodbye.

...the four villas run by Villa Aliki. They are ideally situated up the hill from the beach to benefit from the cooling breezes. They have terraces, balconies and gardens, and each apartment has two large bedrooms and a substantial living room/kitchen. Owned, designed and built by a Crete enthusiast from The Netherlands, Villa Aliki has those little luxuries that visitors are used to, yet not always available in Greek-owned hotels. For example: hot ...
...who can solve any problem, and answer any query it seems. My family and I have stayed at Villa Aliki for a month each year since 2007. The olny problem we have found is leaving the place at the end of our holiday...it is very difficult to say goodbye. ...
