Elounda Gulf Villas

Our six night stay here was split between the junior suite we had booked and a 1+ BR pool villa we transferred to. Comparing the two there is a difference in the bathrooms etc with the junior suite being more updated. We were disappointed that none of the jacuzzis were hot and that our pool could not be heated. Even the advertised jacuzzis at the spa and main pool are cold. The GM did agree to transfer us and at least heated our villa pool to a lukewarm temperature…at a 90 euro per day charge. Apparently during July and August they do not need heated but cannot imagine using them cold the other months. On the plus side the once a day housekeeping was fine. The breakfast buffet and staff were terrific. And the golf cart drivers are the best snd absolutely needed for the very steep hillside travel. We only used the beach club one day and found George there to be very helpful however the beach itself was not what we expected and actually just went to the Elounda beach. The location was good to travel to Elounda, Plaka, and Agios Nikolaos.

About a week ago we stayed at your hotel at Villa Andros, and the experience was simply wonderful in every aspect! The villa itself was wonderful with a stunning view, the service was exceptional, in short, we already want to go back... A special thank you to the amazing Despina from the reception desk who does everything to help, to the charming Isidor who will always take you to the villa with a smile, to the wonderful George who is in charge of the private beach, and of course to the charming hotel manager Danny who we got to know, and to all the other hotel staff whose names we simply can't remember, thank you all so much for a wonderful vacation

Staff and accommodation are fab - Angela, Stella and the team are fab. You will not be disappointed…you will enjoy the golf buggies…the infinity pool and the restaurant and the Beach Club.

This very special villa/suite hotel is like a corner of paradise. We had a villa with its own infinity pool, it was luxurious and very private. The facilities are great, with a main pool and comfortable sun beds. Everything is provided for the comfort of guests. The views are spectacular and the grounds well kept and attractive. Don’t worry about the hill, golf buggies are on hand to run you around. The breakfast is incredible, from smoke salmon to fabulous fruit platters, a huge range of bread and pastries and plenty of hot options; even do it yourself mimosas. The beach club is perfect with a minibus on hand to take you to and from the hotel. However, what really makes this place special is the staff. They cannot do enough for you and are exceptional. Elounda itself is utterly charming with a range of shops and fabulous restaurants. It is walkable (about 30 mins downhill) but get one of the very smart Mercedes taxis back - 11 euros. We were sad to leave and will definitely be going back!

We had a very peaceful and relaxing holiday at EGV. We were given an upgrade to a villa that was really spacious and had the most fabulous infinity pool and spectacular views. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, special thanks to the restaurant staff who were very attentive. The selection of food on the breakfast buffet was extensive and beautifully presented. We would have preferred a set menu or a la carte for dinner rather than a buffet, but the food on the buffet was of a high standard, a good selection, well cooked and very flavoursome. The desserts were much the same every day, so some variety would have been good. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay and hope to visit again.
