Beautiful condo style units. Very nice pool, excellent breakfast included. Staff was outstanding. Location offers a view, but a little too far to walk for shopping or off property restaurants. We had a rental car so that was not an issue for us.
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property. Staff could not have been or lovely. Great restaurant and bar. It was a short van ride to a small beach club. Area is quiet, but there was dancing at some dinners. There’s an on site spa. My partner and I loved this place!

Yaroslav, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

There are so many things to love about the property. The one thing thing that rises to the top was the warmth and hospitality of the entire staff. The front desk, the restaurant, the driver, the beach staff, the cleaning staff. You get the service of a Four Seasons but with more warmth.
Peter, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Generally a great place to stay

Staff and service were excellent, really child friendly. Terrace was big, pool was deep. Kids club was great, they never wanted to leave. My only negative comments would be our villa was dated and was certainly due new bathrooms as they were looking very tired.
Tim, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We booked a villa and ended up with the most magnificent view 24/7. The Villa was great and I could go on and on! The Staff was brilliant and special shout out to Maria and Angela who were warm, kind, and had great recommendations for restaurants in Plaka, Agios Nicholas, and Elounda. Everyone at the Elounda Gulf Villas made the experience special. The beach was great, the pool at the villa makes me want one at home. We would stay here again no question. All that said the view was the star. We highly recommend the EGV.
theodore, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A spectacular stay! We’ve spent a week and it was one of the best holidays we’ve had in a very long time! Staff: an absolute delight to interact with and extremely thoughtful and kind; the team go out of their way to help providing one of the best services we’ve ever had. Food: breakfast, lunch, and dinner; simply wow. The chef is so talented and the flavours are so well balanced, we rediscovered the greek cuisine during our stay! Villa: we had a room with a private infinity pool and massage room; it was clean, well equipped with scenic views of the coast.

Bel hôtel mais vue moins belle que sur les photos

Le personnel est adorable (surtout Maria à l'accueil), le lieu est très agréable et le petit déjeuner est parfait. Néanmoins nous avons été déçu de la différence importante entre les photos de la piscine et de la vue (qui concerne seulement les piscines privées de certaines villas) et la vue depuis la piscine principale qui était la seule à laquelle nous avions accès.

Eric, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is very secluded and beautifully set on the edge of the hill overlooking the sea. The perfect place to unwind. The grounds are beautifully maintained with lovely foliage. All staff were amazing and it was lovely to meet the owners in person.
6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The service was exceptional. The staff & in particular the manager couldn’t do enough for us. It a very quiet resort. The beach club is 10 minutes away but they do provide free shuttle service. The only criticism is a lack of atmosphere. Music would add to the ambience at the beach club but this is a minor issue compared to all the positives in particular the service.
