Domes Aulus Elounda, Curio Collection by Hilton

Having just returned from Crete, in general the hotel was very good. We had the cool living experience which I would recommend.We were in block 6 which meant waiting for the transfer up or down as it was midway between each part of the hotel as the hills were very steep and too far to walk.The room was nice ,spotlessly clean. A few gripes - we were told prior to arriving that you could not pre book restaurants until you arrive although some guests told us otherwise. I was aware from other reviews that this was a problem,Needless to say we were unable to book reasonable times at the a la carte restaurants.,so the choices were limited. First night was the Buffet and we ventured out on another night due to the unavailability. i’m sure guests in Block 7 or 8 who could walk to and from the cool living area must have taken towels up to the poolside beds at 6am to reserve the poolside beds that in many cases were empty and unused until after midday. We arrived around 8ish most days and all poolside beds were already gone,which was quite frustrating. I was expecting to use the pools but they were freezing cold and not chilled so I used the beach and the sea was much warmer. All in all a nice holiday that could have been slightly better. Slightly better

Booked this hotel as a couple and foodies ! Yes it excided our expectations since even the standard all inclusive package offers a lot ! Appreciated the a la carte restaurants that we were entitled to visit during our 7 night stay , but we mostly enjoyed the Island as it offered daily a big variety or recipes. We never got bored -not to mention the views from the Island restaurant !! What to say about the staff from the service team ,the guest relations angels and the reception team - so attentive all of them ! The resort has 2 swimming spots a main pool and a beach and we every day found sunbeds - even at 11:00 - we like sleeping. Even one day that we struggled a bit, we asked help from the lovely front office team who arranged something for us immediately! They deserve many bravos !

As other reviewers have stated staff are wonderful and the views form the hotel are breathtaking. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. We booked knowing the hotel was up a hill however what we hadn’t anticipated was the hotel is actually spread across the hill. Our room was in the middle so we needed to call for transport each time we wanted to leave our room. We did get used to it but once you are out if you have forgotten something it’s just tough. You can’t just Nick back to your room.! Sun beds are a real issue particularly up the top of the hill. There are clearly not enough for all the guests. It really is a lovely hotel and once you navigate how to move about it it’s fine.

We had the time of our lives in this amazing resort! Everything was well-thought of for our honeymoon celebration ..from rose petals laid on the bed to breakfast in the room you name it!! I need to address the fact that the staff went out of their way to help us with everything.. Our room was perfect with a private swimming pool overlooking the breathtaking views of Spinalonga and Elounda Bay. We just cannot wait to return next year to celebrate our first wedding anniversary!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this all-inclusive hotel! Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The surroundings were breathtaking, with beautiful landscapes that made the whole experience even more relaxing and enjoyable. The staff were outstanding always kind, professional, and ready to help with anything we needed. A special mention goes to the reception team, who were truly incredible and made us feel so welcome throughout our stay. The facilities were excellent, the food and drinks were delicious with plenty of variety, and the atmosphere was simply wonderful. It was the perfect getaway for me and my girlfriend, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for more. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely love to come back again!
