Elounda Mare Hotel

This is my second time visiting Elounda Mare and it was incredible and deserves another review as I did not realise just how perfect this place was on my first visit as it was too short. Everything about the hotel is spot on. All the rooms are so comfortable and quiet and they all have a direct sea view. Despite this they are all very walkable to reception and even to the beach. The whole walk everywhere you go in the hotel has perfectly manicured gardens without any missing elements and you can see the sea, which is crystal clear every day. The beach for this particular hotel is unique as it is quiet, perfectly sandy, has very efficient friendly service and you can swim for hundreds of metres uninterrupted by any boats or imperfect landscape. The breakfast has a breathtaking view and a great array of options. Most importantly, every single member of staff goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and are always friendly regardless of your needs. Special thanks to Ioanna in guest relations for making our stay exceptional. Everyone from the reception, the beach, room service, housekeeping, restaurant for breakfast and lunch and the water sports made our stay memorable and we felt very accommodated the whole time. Even the pet dog of the beach is the friendliest we have met! We will Certainly be back! Elounda Mare is a one of a kind magical place.

Absolutely perfect experience, stunning property with a lot of character and plenty of different areas to relax and swim, has as well a surprising collection of a few shops on the property. The staff in all areas were incredible.

As a multi generational family spanning from 10-84 we can say it caters for all! It’s as good as the photos look!! Such a special place and the staff go above and beyond to make sure we are looked after. Shout out to Nagia on concierge who sorted most of our trips (highlight was the 80 ft yacht sail) and George who conjured up some amazing cocktails for us. Michelis at beach bar was super too.

I adored my stay at Elounda Mare! The private beach and sea views are paradise. I felt so welcomed from the first moment I stepped onto the property. The staff truly go above and beyond. Nagia at Guest Concierge created a magical experience for my stay and has the best restaurant recommendations. Manoulis and his colleagues always had a smile and warm greeting as I returned to the hotel after exploring nearby towns. The Elounda Mare dining is divine, especially with Konstantinos the sommelier crafting the wine pairing. I can’t wait to return to Elounda Mare!

We had our wedding at Elounda Mare Hotel and it was truly the most incredible experience of our lives. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and completely effortless. We stayed for a full week and it honestly felt like home. The staff treated us like family in every possible way, always going above and beyond without hesitation. The hospitality was on another level - genuine, attentive, and full of care. A special thank you to Dimitra, the wedding coordinator, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She made everything seamless, stress-free, and perfect in every detail. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. The breakfast was exceptional every morning, the drinks were beautifully made, and the amenities were outstanding. Every part of the hotel experience reflected quality, comfort, and heart. It truly is the best place I’ve ever been. Perfect wedding, perfect stay, perfect people. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.
