Loved my bungalow on the sea with private pool. The large hotel swimming pool was also very beautiful. Easy access to the sea via sturdy ladders. Charming secluded nooks with lounge chairs and tables at different levels. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Water shuttle to multiple restaurants on the property. Enjoyed the delicious sushi and more at the exceptional seafront Sumosan Japanese restaurant, where glass floor panels offered a look into the fish and sea below us. Lovely landscaping. Attentive and caring staff. Interesting shops. I did not use the Six Senses Spa, but for those who are spa people, I don’t doubt it is as remarkable as everything else there. Many guests return regularly, and I definitely want to stay again. Highly recommend this very special getaway.

A good option within the Elounda area. Not as wonderful as many other R and C hotels though. The place feels like part of a much bigger complex because of the many resorts either side and not like a unique and special one off. Views and food very good. Our superior room was lovely but very noisy from guests and families from other rooms. Communication between staff not always working. We had an earthquake of 6.3 while there but no one checked to see if we were ok.

Cretan gem

The setting is stunning, the room was clean, elegant and very comfortable. The resort is peaceful and sublime. The food, especially in the Old Mill restaurant, was excellent. But most of all, the staff are lovely - could never do enough to help, learned our names immediately and were always so friendly. This hotel, Elounda and Crete have a place in my heart.

This is a lovely hotel. We were in a Bungalow which was comfortable and clean with good quality amenities. The private beach is fantastic and the pool is really big (and very deep). Be aware that the pools are salt water and really salty. Breakfast was good; we went out to Elounda and Plaka to eat in the evenings which are both great. Thoroughly recommended place to stay.

Idyllic escape

The whole family had an amazing time at the outstanding Elounda Mare. If you're looking for a get away from it all, relaxing break in beautiful surroundings then you couldn't do better IMHO. Our superior bungalow was beautifully maintained, with a breathtaking view across the bay from out terrace. The kids couldn't get enough of the private pool which was a Godsend on the warmer days. The restaurants across the three hotels that make up the resort were uniformly excellent and I can't speak highly enough of the staff, who were absolutely first class to a man and woman, friendly, smiling and polite. The town of Elounda was nice enough, but to be honest everything you need for a relaxing break can be found within the the three hotels that comprise the resort. We will definitely return!
