Perfect Stay for Adults

Every member of the Orama is helpful, friendly and welcoming (especially Dora). We booked this hotel as we had a family wedding in Elounda and this hotel had a great location, the rooms are modern and clean. The pool is perfect for a dip or to hang out in with friends. I would however not recommend this pool for young families as the pool is very deep. The views for breakfast of the whole bay were amazing and we would definitely come back! Thank you!

Nice hotel but so many parts not open

Lovely hotel but disapointed the spa wasn't open. Jacuzzi wasn't working and the rooftop bar and hotel bar weren't open. If id known before would have chosen a different hotel. Also sea view room was partial and only if you could see above the trees.

Good breakfast on a terrace with great views Only "challenge" was finding the car park - I suggest they have a small map made for guests as google maps isn't helpful Overall; a good place to stay i- good value and comfortable

Our stay at Orama was a mixed bag. The hotel seemed very nice, but pictures were very misleading. Rooms were small and not clean. We had a problem with the air conditioning in the room. It made a terrible noise and the side of the panel came loose. It also made condensation drips, which fell on to the bed. We spoke to the receptionist about this, but he seemed baffled and offered no real solution. We ended up moving the bed, because i don’t want condensation drips on my head, or the whole cooler. When moving the bed, we quickly noticed how dirty it was behind the bed and the stains present on the sides. It was as if somebody puked on the bed and they only changed the sheets and linnen. We didn’t make use of the pool, so we had little to complain about except for the ridiculous opening hours. The pool opens at 10:30 and checkout is expected at 11:00. The pool also closes at 18:30. Staff was kind and breakfast was alright. Overall, would not be coming back.

One night was enough to never come back.

The place was dirty, found a huge ball of long hair on top of the bed. The rooms are very tight, the space between the bed and the walls is less than 20 cm/8in. The hotel is in a hill, lots of stairs, very uncomfortable overall.

Amazing boutique hotel

We have stayed in elounda many times at different hotels. We came across the Orama which is new and it appealed because of its location to the town square and boutique status. We were not disappointed. We had a beautiful superior room in block D with a stunning panoramic view. Lots of nice touches - coffee machine, kettle, robes, slippers, beach towels etc etc. The pool area is amazing. The breakfast restaurant has lovely views also - the food is good but definitely needs to include toast! The staff were some of the best staff I have ever met in any hotel. Overall we were very pleased to have found the hotel and will definitely return.

If Frank Lloyd-Wright had designed a Premier Inn

The Orama hotel is newly openned and probably the best in downtown Elounda. Their Facebook page has pictures that well represent the look and feel of the interior and exterior design. The public areas are beautiful and the pool is truly amazing. There are still some shakedown issues, plus snagging work going on, but none of this adversely affected our 9 day stay in 3302. Book now for 2018.

Nice hotel, with comfortable rooms and generally good service. It has three main issues: the rooms are located in different blocks and reaching one block from another is complicated (insufficient signs, several lifts to take); the parking is very limited, unattended and difficult to reach due to a bumpy road; the breakfast is quite insufficient, no local products, low quality and thus inadequate for the price you pay in a 4/star hotel. A positive note: the kindness of the receptionists, particularly Sophia, who try their best to help despite these objective difficulties.
