We have just returned from Manos apartments, what a wonderful time we had. The apartments were very clean, spotless in fact, due to the very hard work, of Caroline & Lorraine, the resort manager, who was always on hand, for any problems, that may arise. We had a great time... more

Ok, but could be cleaner
Elounda is a lovely place and I would thoroughly recommend it to those wanting a reasonably sized resort with lots of lovely tavernas (and no tacky clubs/bars.) However I was disappointed with the Manos Apartments, my main gripe being that they weren't very clean. They were supposed to be cleaned 5 times a week but ours was cleaned 3. Also, there was rubbish/dust under the beds when we got there, and when the cleaner did come in, she barely cleaned the floors. For the price I paid (more than for other Greek holidays with similar, if not better, apartments) I expected more. They are well located within the resort (but just on the edge so nice and quiet) and the bar staff were friendly. Pool is open to the public however we had no problems getting sunbeds. I imagine it might not be the same story in high season.
First rate.
Comfortable, clean accomodation. Staff friendly & contributed greatly to a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to them all. Elounda is perfect for those who want a quieter holiday with no discos etc & the associated problems. Very picturescue scenery. A great place to chill out but still plenty to do. Highly recommended.

Excellent choice of apartments
Just come back from a week staying at the Manos Apartments in Elounda and I would highly recommend these apartments. They are basic (as you get with Greece) but clean and comfortable. The location is perfect - on the edge of the resort yet 5 minutes from the harbour with all the bars and restaurants. There is a small supermarket next door. The beach is right across the road (20 metres away)! The swimming pool is on the smaller side but there was always plenty of space. Best of all, there was no fighting for sun loungers. Everyday, there were plenty of loungers free - and this was in high season! The other guests at the Manos are the most friendly we have encountered on all of our travels. The pool bar is great, giving you a chance to meet lot of people and Stavros is a real character! Elounda is quiet, picturesque and relaxing. We travelled at the start of the school holidays and could not believe how quiet it was - it was like being off season. The resort is definietly the nicest out of all the resorts en route to Heraklion airport. It has lots of charm, fantastic scenery and a perfect location with proximity to Agias Nikolaos (for your nightlife and shops) and Plaka (a real Greek village). The harbour area is very pretty with a great selection of bars and restaurants. The only downside is that the beaches are manmade, and although sandy, in the sea it is rocky in places and lots of seaweed in other parts. We found the best spot to be on the municipal beach, just to the right of the windmill as here the water was more sandy and no rocks at all. However, we are real beach lovers and we still loved Elounda and would definitely go back there.
fantastic holiday
We have just returned from a weeks holiday staying at the Manos Apartments. What can i say but it was Fantastic. We could not complain about anything, the apartments were very clean and spacious. The cleaner comes in every other day which is also when all the bedding is changed. We were extremely lucky as the holiday season had only just started so most days we were the only 2 people round the pool but you wouldnt need to worry if it did get busy as there were plenty of sun loungers all with umbrellas. There is a pool side bar that serves choices of food, i can certainly recommend the bacon sandwiches. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome nothing is too much trouble for them. The beach is a stones throw away where you can hire the sun loungers for the day. There are 2 local supermarkets that sell everything and stay open till very late. It only takes a 10 minute walk along the beach to reach all the tavernas, restaurants and gift shops. Elounda is not over lively which was perfect for us as we just wanted a relaxing holiday we shall certainly be going back next yesr and hopefully for 2 weeks. I would recommend Manos Apartments to familys and couples wanting a relaxing holiday.
Excellent chill-out resort
My wife & I have just returned from this lovely fishing village where we have had the most chilled-out holiday ever. Perhaps it was the weather which was glorious after the miserable weather here, or perhaps it was the friendly Greek people, or perhaps the food or perhaps the fact that this is a fairly quiet resort in May: whatever, it is a fantastic place. Manos Apts are OK, nothing special but clean & tidy and the staff are very friendly. Scots lass Lorraine very helpful and knowledgable re local gen (better than Rep). No panic to get a sunbed by the pool and Sky sports large screen, ideal in the evenings whilst sampling the local firewater. Resort has an abundance of restaurants to suit all pockets with high food standards. Behind the village up the hill is another lovely little place called Mavrakano (not sure about the spelling). Walk up there and take a nice cold beer in the little cafe and checkout the spectacular views across the bay including Spinalonga island. Friendly little taverna up there also. For pleasure fishing there is also a little fishing tackle shop in Elounda. Only downside is the drive from Heraklion airport especially if you are on a transfer bus & last to be dropped off. However it is well worth the wait and a plus point is that it seems to deter the lager louts and gobby yobs associated with some other resorts. Definitely returning next year !
we loved it
we have been to manos twice now once with kids and then on our own well what can we say but it was excellent, there was 7 kids and 4 adults and what a week we had the weather brill and the staff tops. we are hoping to go back again this year.
Gr8!!!
Elounda is a really fab place! My family and I have stayed at the Manos Apartments a few times as we visit elounda almost every year! The apartments are across the street from the beach (which is fab) and the apartments are probably the best in elounda tbh! If you are thinking of visiting elounda, i'd reccomend a boat trip to a different beach for a fun day out and a change of scenery, also one of the local restaurants puts on a greek night with greek dancing once a week, you will see it advertised outside thats also really fun! you must have a burger at the bar bee! and deffinately go the alygos bar in the nights (lush cocktails)!! It's where me and my family always go! (usually the life and soul of the party btw) lol if you see a nutty welsh family dancing on the tables you know who it is! see you there!
great
My partner and I stayed at these apartments in August of this year, what can I say? we had a fantastic time, our room was clean and tidy well until we got there anyway! the only thing they lacked was air conditioning. The staff were very helpful and always had time for you. I'll certainly be going back in fact the sooner the better!!
great holiday apartments
We had an apartment for 6 people, this was ideal as had 2 bedrooms, 3 rd room was bedroom/kitchen, but we had a cot and our 2 year old slept here, also had 3 balconies all with good views, lovely pool shame no kids pool but had step access at one end, also only couple of minutes to the main beach and restaurants. Food also very good at pool bar. And Greek night was fantastic, pay for the BBQ entertainment included. Must visit Ag Nik and Vai about 2hrs drive away only natural palm beach in Europe? lovely
We loved the Manos Apts and the town of Elounda
Elounda is a relatively quiet, working fishing village a few kilometres from Agios Nikolaos. The Manos Apartments were centrally situated, a short walk from the harbour and municipal beach and only yards from a tidy, smaller beach adjacent to the larger municipal one. Mike, who owns the apartments, and his staff were welcoming, friendly and excellent hosts. With the right crowd, their Greek Night was good fun. Apartments were basic but very clean and well-maintained as was the bar/pool area. Plenty of restaurants (all doing the basics for the kids as well as the Greek and seafood specialities) nice shops, all within an hour's drive (longer if doing multiple transfers) of Heraklion Airport. One of our best ever Mediterranean holidays.
