Special thanks to the Russian-speaking administrator
Madame Seiko. And the hostess of the hotel, Madame Maria. They will always help you with the choice of car rental and advice on tourist routes around the island.
Around a huge number of restaurants of various prices and choice of dishes.
In the town itself, there is a quiet beach on which there are never waves and wind.
We look forward to coming back and thank you so much for making our stay so comfortable.

Only two rooms were offered: a view of the road and the courtyard. Nobody offered a sea view. Breakfasts are monotonous, coffee - great. Air conditioning without remote control, ie it is not possible to use it. You can only buy a remote control for 5 euros a day at the reception. The hotel is engaged in racketeering.

The hotel is engaged in racketeering. Requires a higher fee as a tourist tax instead of 0.5 euros 1.5 per day of stay. This is motivated by the fact that the hotel has three stars, but no one shows any documents. The travel agency where you buy the voucher does not have any information at all and does not help in resolving this issue.
A large cockroach was found in the shower in the room.
The only advantage of the hotel - close to the beach and bus stop.

"-" 1. if you got a room not with a sea view, and this categorically does not suit you - do not despair, just ask the hostess, and if she has free rooms, she will definitely move you in a couple of days 2. wifi only at the reception 3. poor TV and unstable signal, but this is not war
In general, everything was very good! thank you very much Aristea.

The hotel is cozy and clean. The staff is friendly. Fully corresponds to its two stars. I would rate a room with a view of the courtyard at 4. The room is small. The balcony is practically non-existent. You can only put a stool on it. Room with sea view - 5. More than with a view of the courtyard and with a full balcony.

The balcony is practically non-existent. You can only put a stool on it. Room with sea view - 5. More than with a view of the courtyard and with a full balcony. But it also costs more.
The beach is 3 minutes walk. The beach is sandy and clean. The water is also clean. Because Elounda is located in a closed bay, the sea is always calm. The village itself is small, one street stretched along the coast. Entertainment is practically non-existent. Buses run to Agias Nikolaos at intervals of about 1 hour. The price is 1.5 euros. The first bus is at 7.40, the last one is at 20.00. Taxi runs from 7.00. Price to Agias Nikolas 12 euros.
Car rental from 45 euros / day, though 163 euros / week.

A very modest hotel. On the first day, they were just in shock. And then they got used to it. But for 10 thousand per person per week, along with the flight, it is quite justified. The room is small, you don't get a sea view. Towels are shabby. But linen is changed. ))) We didn't see cockroaches. The water pressure is really very weak, but in Crete there is a problem with water in general.

Breakfast - bread, butter, corn flakes. Cheese and ham are inedible. But the coffee is great. If you are limited in money, then take with you everything that does not spoil from food. In stores, products are 2-3 times more expensive than in our country.
Everything is covered by the sea. It's amazing! Can't get out for hours! And if you have a car, then you will only spend the night in the room. Then why do you need five for big money?

The hotel is not 2 star. View from the room to the road or the courtyard. Rooms with sea view are for EU tourists only. The constant noise of cars and motorcycles, as well as drunken tourists, does not allow you to sleep. The water pressure in the faucet is very weak. Water from two taps of the same temperature (warm).

The constant noise of cars and motorcycles, as well as drunken tourists, does not allow you to sleep. The water pressure in the faucet is very weak. Water from two taps of the same temperature (warm). Breakfast is very monotonous (tea, coffee, milk, bread, cheese, ham, muesli and jam to choose from). It seems that they saved us everywhere. A constant wind was blowing (July, August), which was not warned in the travel agency. There is no place to play. There is no park, walking paths and sidewalks. Only cafes and shops. The most terrible moment is that a huge cockroach (4-5 cm) was caught in the room.

My friend and I were vacationing in Elounda in September 2008, when we went there we didn’t even imagine that this is a fashionable village for pennies and couples in love, so there’s no place for young people who want to hang out there, and the hotel itself really draws only 2 stars, so how the room is not cleaned very well, and the food is not very good.

But Crete is really very beautiful, for example, in Rethymno, or in Chania, I advise everyone to rent a car, in 3 days you can go around the regions.

From the airport of Herakion on the transfer we arrived in 1.5 hours. The town is quiet mainly for middle-aged couples or pensioners (German pensioners have a lot of rest! ), who do not need to go to discos, but the sea without waves is important (when it is very stormy in other places, it is always quiet here in the bay).

From the airport of Herakion on the transfer we arrived in 1.5 hours.
The town is quiet mainly for middle-aged couples or pensioners (German pensioners have a lot of rest! ), who do not need to go to discos, but the sea without waves is important (when it is very stormy in other places, it is always quiet here in the bay). Walk 3-4 minutes to the beach. You can walk to the peninsula on foot, there is a walking promenade along the sea.
But in principle there is one disco nearby called Katafigio - good equipment, there is Russian music - but there are no people at all. Therefore, if the desire to dance appears, then you can dance until you drop and the DJ will put on music only for you, and for optimism and a good dance you will be presented with a free soft drink, and the waitress will teach you how to dance sertaki.
The hotel does not have its own territory, but the entrance from it is from the street (on the same side there is a buffet where they served breakfast in the morning) and to the embankment to the Calidon restaurant - we had dinner in it. Opposite the hotel there are Internet cafes and shops of local needlewomen. On the same main street there are many souvenir shops, closer to the beach there are a huge number of cafes. Greek coffee costs 1.5 -2.5 euros, Greek salad 4-5 euros (large portion! ), Hot dish 6-9 euros. There are 7 supermarkets (this is what they call small shops with a varied assortment). Car rental can be booked directly at the hotel, calmly and without problems.
Normal number. But when the windows face the street, it’s noisy from 6 in the morning, as large buses and occasionally trucks pass by, but then you get used to it a little... Although it’s better to book a room overlooking the sea or the courtyard in advance (but then there is no table and chairs on the balcony). A rather small room for taking a shower, but apparently that's why the hotel belongs to 2 stars, otherwise it would have been quite drawn to 3.
Friendly hostess Maria and her little Russian-speaking assistant Seka always responded to any requests and questions. With a long-distance telephone card, calls were allowed directly from the room (card for 5 euros with an erasable code). The room was cleaned well. Towels and linen changed as needed.
At the restaurant, dinner was served by a Russian-speaking waiter. In my opinion, for a 2-star food is very good, half board. Breakfast is modest, but very neatly served: fresh bread and muffins are covered with napkins, cheese and sausage are added as they are eaten. There were also corn flakes, milk, juice, three types of jam, coffee, tea, sometimes yogurt with honey - in principle, it was enough until dinner. Dinner at a restaurant with a waiter. Large portions: first a hot appetizer (such as green beans) or mashed soup, then a salad (alternating by day: tomatoes with onions, cucumbers with herbs, cabbage with carrots) and the main hot dish: meat, meatballs, fish or moussaka. A also dessert or fruit. We ate a lot of it. And half a liter of local wine costs 4.5 euros in a restaurant. Russian-speaking waiter Akim always served cheerfully and could also tell about local specialties or shops, for which many thanks to him.
The water in the sea is very clean, the sea is always calm. The sand is coarse greyish, at the entrance to the sea in some places there are stones, but you can always find a sandy entrance nearby. Sun loungers and umbrellas for 2 euros, money is collected at 12 o'clock and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, in the morning and in the evening you can always lie down for free. And if you paid, but you want to go for lunch, feel free to leave a towel on the sunbed, no one will pick up and take the sunbed.
Good hotel for those who don't like crowds. Who comes to rest not to sit on the territory of the hotel, but only to spend the night in it. An excellent sea for those who want to swim every day and do not like strong waves.
Good service. Pleased with the presence of Russian-speaking staff.
We took a car for 3 days (ordered directly at the hotel) - from Elounda we went to Sitia and Vai (of all other cities it is much further), to Ierapetra, to Heraklion and the Palace of Knossos, to Rethymnon, to the Lassithi valley.
When renting a car, a map of the island is issued - you can navigate it without problems, although sometimes direction indicators are installed here almost in the turn itself. We covered 800 km in 3 days. Pretty good roads. Although the serpentine in some places is decent))) We didn’t take excursions, we preferred to wander around on our own. The smallest Fiat car cost us 85 euros for 3 days (with full insurance) + petrol 45 euros. She perfectly pulled 3 adults and developed speeds on the highway up to 120 km (don't forget to buckle up! )
We had a great vacation! But we do not advise young people to go to Elounda - it will be boring. Better to Malia or Chersonese, where life is in full swing.
