1. Elia Woodstone Houses

Hersonissos

"The people and place were welcoming and helpful. From dealing with a medical emergency to finding a last minute ride to the airport, our hosts could not have been more lovely. They accommodated us more then enough and treated us like family/close friends. We loved our down time at the villa in the swimming pool and on the amazing verandas, and strolling the streets of the village throughout the day was peaceful and picturesque. The a/c splits worked well to cool most rooms, and the kitchenette...

"The property is lovely, well equipped and super clean and comfortable. The owners are on site and very hospitable and friendly. Elena made cake and pudding for us one day and “Love”, her mother in law made Greek coffee for us one morning. The view is stunning from the yard, and we enjoyed it every afternoon with our wine. Bella the dog kept us company. Would highly recommend the property. "

"We enjoyed our stay here - the staff answered messages quickly, and the room although basic had everything needed for a few nights stay including a small well equipped kitchen area (kettle, coffee machine, stove hob). Bathroom was small but perfectly useable. A bit more information about the area would be useful but that's what the internet is for. Check in was via a coded key pick up. The location is about 15 minutes walk from main areas of the town. "

Top Elaia Hotel Reviews

Phāea Cretan Malia, a Member of Design Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"We are a couple with an 5 months old baby. Extremely good hotel! One of the best we have been. The food is just amazing!!! Like in a Michelin star restaurant. You don’t get this feeling that it is cooked for a big hotel. Very cozy main restaurant. Staff goes above and beyond to help, not because they have to, but because they seem to be very happy to be there as well. The hotel is very welcoming for babies and kids, but is not overrun by them. The atmosphere is very cozy and calm, no loud music (or karaoke) by the main pool, no running kids. Kids have their own activities and entertainment which is run by a professional team of animators in dedicated places. Kids club for kids of different ages is available. I loved yoga classes every morning by the sea. The level of yoga teacher is verily close to a good yoga retreat. Little things like cooking classes, cats cafe, their own ice cream/crepe place. Every centimetre of the property is well thought through by a very good designer. We absolutely loved our stay! Special thanks to Eva and Olga in the restaurant for their kind attention and hospitality."

Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely family vacation at this wonderful hotel. The look and feel of a Grecian village within the hotel is beautiful and there is so much character to the whole hotel. The staff were very helpful helping us to get the most appropriate room for our family. They were all very helpful throughout the stay. Hotel itself is huge and has so much to do. Each pool was lovely and clean and the kids water park was massive. Lots of activities for adults and kids alike. Room was spacious and clean. The food was great and à la carte restaurant we had was amazing (Mademi). Only one drawback is needing to book in the à la carte restaurant every morning which, if you’re not quick enough, the slots go quite fast."

Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Food was varied and plenty at every meal. The staff is kind and goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need.the views and the balcony are spectacular. The only negatives: beaches are tiny and very rocky. Sea is crystal clear and refreshing but you have to walk down hills and mountains to reach the beaches and it can be challenging for small children or older people. Beaches are public and you have to pay 10 euros for a bed. In the hotel, Ac is perfect. However, you cannot put toilet paper in the toilet which was super inconvenient and unsanitary. The rooms are carved into the mountain which creates a romantic atmosphere but after a week up and down stairs and narrow passages, I do not mind leaving. Overall, it was a nice stay but would not come back."
