Elounda Mare Hotel & Bungalows

This hotel is wonderful. We loved it there. Great small sandy beach. Delicious food. We had two bungalows with private pool and sea view. They were heaven. We really loved the setting. Just the room seemed very simply furnished at first, but we started to like it later. Be prepared for 2 separated beds which are just put together to make matrimonial bed. BUt ok.
But the first inmpression was not a 5 star hotel. I would not recommend to stay in the main building, because I did not like the rooms there. My sister stayed there and her room was small and seemed a bit like a cave. The only entrance door was from outside (not from the hotel).
The views are breath-taking and everything is clean.
We did not like one fat older women at the reception - she was not very nice and she was not helpful at all - we wanted to see some bungalows for the next year reservation. We made an appointment with other lady from reception and then in the afternoon this fat lady was there and she was not helpful at all and pretended she does not know about anything. She was very very slow and kept us waiting at the end of our stay when she was completing the bill. We almost missed the plane at the end. It took her almost 30 minutes to get things done. SHe does not have a nice face and can not handle things nicely. She should be fired.
But apart from that everyone was nice and helpful.
The only downside of this hotel - way tooooooo many Russian tourists who can be really loud and annoying sometimes during the day.
Also One day they forgot to clean our room which was not nice.
Apart from that the hotel is nicely quiet and great place for vacation! Loved it!!!
And want to come again.
