7th visit to the wonderful Elounda Bay Palace
We booked again for the Elounda Bay Palace, staying for 7 nights in June and looking forward to our 7th visit. We were given a lovely reception upon arrival as always, quick check in progress and were shown to our room. We had a side sea view which was different, but a good view towards the sea. Very clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed. Very close to the restaurant, which was convenient and access to the beach. Breakfast and dinner was excellent with a variety every night, and always hot and well prepared. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and it makes our stay so much more enjoyable. We have always found the Elounda Bay Palace to be one of the best hotels in Elounda, and even though we have been to another in the early days of visiting Crete, we always came back to the Elounda Bay Palace, as we found everything as we wanted, such an nice atmosphere, relaxing place to unwind and forget about your stressful work life. We have booked to return in early June this year 2026 and it will be our 8th visit. We have booked for my birthday again, but this one isn’t important this, that was last year. We hoped to book one with a private pool, but not this time. Only just moved house, so that’s life. Looking forward to our 8th visit, and the Cretan sun and hospitality.

Relaxing holiday in beautiful surroundings
My wife and I have recently returned from our fourth visit to this lovely hotel. We would like to thank the staff for their excellent and friendly service. The hotel remains a beautifully comfortable retreat from the outside world and the hotel management constantly strive to update the facilities available. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings
