Customer rating:

Elounda is in a very attractive setting and is a high quality resort. The resort staff were amongst the friendliest and most obliging we have come across. The resort occupacity seemed low (c.40%?) for early July and the staff were surprised and concerned by this, and did not really understand why the visitor numbers were down. On the other hand that also meant that they were keen that the guests present received everything they needed. The resort reduced its prices for meals and drinks by 10% during our stay to stimulate more demand. We booked a side sea view room. These rooms need updating and its probably worth paying the premium for a refurbished, full sea view room. Unfortunately the flights were painful. >3 hours late arriving and similar returning. Its not clear that Heraklion airport can cope with summer volumes.
