Hotel Description:
Turn the corner at the hilltop and there you have it! A panoramic view of the bay of Elounda with the Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort right at your feet. Note the sea of green. It is the only golf course on the island of Crete. What you do not see here is the challenging driving range and the putting green. Some rooms have direct access from their balcony to the large oblong pools. There is also a Grande Suite with its own private beach, outdoor pool and garden, indoor pool and more. Tasteful and simple. This is our kind of luxury. Soothing to the sight and serene to the soul, yet pampering you with the amenities you have come to expect: air conditioning, satellite television, touch-tone telephone, stocked mini-bar, a safe deposit box, hair-dryer and a lovely marble bathroom. loading...

This is a very exclusive resort. The Porto Elounda Deluxe Resort Hotel is situated a good 2 km from Elounda village - which means if you wish to go out of the hotel complex you need to go by taxi - there are no bars, restaurants or supermarkets within walking distance therefore you have to pay hotel prices (which are very high). Apart from the lack of facilities close to the hotel the hotel itself is very good and well set out. Large well maintained grounds including the only golf course on the island (9 hole par 3). There are excellent sunbathing areas which never seen over crowded, a very good place to relax and escape from it all. Rooms range from standard well appointed rooms to luxury two story villas with private pools and gardens (at a supplement). This is a five star hotel, supposed to be the best on the island - not quite up to UK 5 star standards but very enjoyable. Weather in August/September is excellent. Staff very good, they will arrange anything you want - if you have the disposable income available they will arrange a private boat, helicopter or plane to take you around the area.

Supermarkets – two can be found a short distance outside the hotel, one is up a steep hill however.
We had a room which had access to a shared pool, four rooms shared. Worth the bit extra.
We did notice that for this summer season the brochure prices increased supplements throughout the season this increased the price quite a bit.
Food especially dinner was a bit disappointing, often had to queue for a table setting was lovely however. Dining room area not really big enough.
We went into Agios Nic a couple of times, good place to visit. Weather was fab!
Might be tempted to consider bed & breakfast rather than half board.
