Overview

The 5* Elounda Mare Hotel overlooks Mirabello Bay on the north coast of the island of Crete, in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Since 1988 it has been a member of the international Relais & Chateaux hotel group.

Exuding sophistication and exclusivity, the Elounda Mare Hotel has an unparalleled reputation in Greece for its attentive and personalised service. With its award-winning restaurants, comprehensive leisure facilities and exquisite design, it is the ideal choice for the discerning traveller seeking a relaxing holiday in a serene and intimate setting.

Elounda Mare is a delight of traditional Cretan architecture and interior design. The typical whitewashed surfaces bind harmoniously with the brown and grey rock walls and the local carob and olive trees. The decoration is exclusively antique pieces of folk art: carpets, chests, tapestries, mantelpieces, and fine Cretan marble throughout the halls and salons.

The main building lounges are centered around the Karavia Bar. The Hotel has been awarded the European Blue Flag for the past 9 consecutive years in recognition of the continuous efforts to maintain the environment in pristine condition, for efficient water management and wastewater treatment, and for the participation in the rising of environmental awareness among staff and the local schoolchildren.

Near the children's pool is a playroom and table tennis, whereas baby-sitting services are available for the younger ones. Near the beach one finds the sauna and steam bath facility, as well as the massage parlour.

Room service runs around the clock and bungalow guests can except full service on the garden table next to their seawater swimming pool.

Location

Developed on 30,000 m2 of gently sloping land with a private coastline of 300 metres, the Elounda Mare is located 70 km to the east of Iraklion International Airport (a pleasant one hour drive).

    We were disappointed with this hotel overall
    The hotel is in a splendid location but the quality does not match the price in any way. Starting with the rooms, the air conditioning is antiquated. It is very noisy and requires constatnt manual adjustment. The units for the air conditioning are falling apart. The bathrooms are also in need of upgrade. The showers were dreadful - no power and a small cubicle with a door which it was impossible to close. All the power sockets were falling off the walls and generally it felt like the hotel was in severe need of an upgrade to bring the standard up to what it really should be. The dinner offering was really disappointing. First, the service was impossibly slow and second, after the first night the food was montonously the same day after day with no concession to people who were on half board. I will write to Relais Chateau to question the entry of the hotel as I really think its inclusion brings into question the basis on which the hotels are judged. We paid what I consider a large sum of money and did not really benefit from the quality which you would expect.

    Would recommend a stau
    A great hotel, upon arrival a welcome drink awaits. The staff we very helpful and nothing was to much trouble . The service we received down in the beach was impeccable . Value for money a little pricey as half board means something different , depends where you stay. Breakfast and dinner were good. The rooms are well appointed . A short cab ride to Elounda fishing village . Overall a great place.
