Reviews for Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort

Idyllic, relaxing holiday in beautiful grounds with wonderful staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

We have just returned from Porto elounda golf and spa and have had a wonderful time there. The room was exceptional, very spacious with three bathrooms and a huge patio with sun bed, comfortable chairs and separate table and chairs. The food in Nafsika restaurant was wonderful, fresh, good quality and plenty of choose. Food at Elies beach bar was also excellent. The minute you arrive at the hotel you feel relaxed, all staff members were courteous and helpful, the wine and dinner drinks were good and reasonably priced. A taxi to elounda is 11€ and to Agios Nicholais 17€, though elounda is walkable if you can manage the hot weather which we didn’t! The golf buggy transfer to the beach was handy when carrying beach gear back to the room but again only a few minutes walk. The grounds are impeccably cared for and the pools and beach were clean, well cared for and enjoyed by our family. The views are phenomenal, absolute beautiful and the water sports were excellent too if a little expensive. We hired out the water slides for 50€ for exclusive use for an hour which was nice, and appreciated by the children in our family. Whilst there are 3 different hotels in the group, it didn’t feel at all overcrowded, there were always sunbeds available and the man at the beach would find us beds if we arrived late… such a helpful service and made all the difference. We had a wonderful time, thank you to all the staff

Luxury Family Getaway at Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We stayed at the Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort as a family of 4 (kids aged 8 and 11), and really enjoying their Premium Junior Suite with Shared Pool. The suite was brand new, with a spacious layout, luxury bathroom, and a terrace that opened directly to a serene semi-private pool, overlooking the beautiful bay Included breakfast each morning was great, freshly squeezed juices, hot/cold selections, pastries and fruits Dinner brought loads choices across the resort’s restaurants, but we selected the half-board buffet: delicious, new choice each evening, and convenient with kids. Staff were incredibly attentive, and the sunset ambiance was magical. Highly recommend for families seeking luxury in Elounda, Crete.

5 Star luxury with family feel

Excellent service, excellent accommodation,excellent food. Wonderfull views, spacious room large pool and private beach with all the water sports required. Full English breakfast, continental, fruits and cheese and meats, not forgetting pastries. Evening buffet even better, changed everyday with multiple choices plus multiple exceptional a la carte restaurants Italian il Borro, Japanese Sumosan, and the yacht club . No crowds, no queuing, no hassle polite friendly ‘family’ team , no worries only a chilled out paradise.

Great Resort for Children

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

The Porto Elounda is part of the Elounda Collection, which consists of three hotels (the others are Elounda Mare and Elounda Peninsula) and the hotels share some facilities as well as the restaurants. We stayed here with two little kids (2.5 years old) in a Junior Suite with half board. The Good: - The private beach has crystal-clear water and because of the location being in a bay, despite wind, there are no waves at all, which is ideal for toddlers - The kids pool is perfect for toddlers - The kids club is very moden and offers great activities for little kids (toddlers can be dropped off for a charge) - Nice choice of good restaurants. We enjoyed the Italian Il Borro for its great food (Ferragamo Family-owned brand) as well as the beautiful location of the Japanese fusion-inspired Sumonsan restaurant. - The staff is very friendly and tries to accommodate you as much as they can - Great treatment in the Six Senses Spa The Bad: - While there are nice restaurants in the resort, the buffest restaurant (Nafsika) that serves the breakfast and dinner does not deserve the 5 star rating of the hotel. The choice as well as the taste & quality of the food is underwhelming. The gap to the other restaurants is huge and many hotel guests tend to have dinners in the other restaurants, but obviously this becomes very costly (in three restaurants adults get deducted 24 EUR and kids 12 EUR, if they have the half-board option) - While having Golf & Spa Resort in the hotel name, the golf course is very mediocre. It is nice for practicing short game. But due to the short land area, the course built on a hill only offers very short holes and most of them are very narrow. For this short 9 holes, the charge of 30 EUR is okay, but taking an additional 20 EUR for a rental club set seems to be overpriced (even though 3 lake balls are included) - In our room for a few days we had a lot of ants. We had to specifically request that something is done so that not every morning there would be new ones. - The staff tries to be attentive, but misses experience, e.g. cleaning service or other service people would ring the bell in the room, even while shouting 'wait a second', they would just open the door super quickly after the ring. When making an appointment at the Six Senses Spa, which was already mostly booked when we arrived (many people seem to make appointments months in advance), the staff did not apologize at first when calling me back that she did a mistake with the slot time, which was not available anymore. These many small lack of details unfortunately create a bit of a negative impression, especially comparing with similar priced hotels in hospitaly friendly South-East Asia. Things to Consider: - The location of the hotel is a bit remote, if one wants to go to the neighboring villages. An own rental car or a taxi is required. - The walk from the Porto Elounda down to the beach and pool takes around 5-10 minutes for an adult, but is longer with little kids and a bit steep if you have strollers. Therefore mostly transport via hotel buggy is required.
