Everyone was nice but the kitchen staff was spectacular. The star of the show in my opinion was Manos, who seemed to be the head waiter. His simple presence uplifted the entire restaurant. His wording, even in a second language, made the atmosphere graceful and you felt provided for without pretention. So much warmth and so professional. The waitress Sofia would pick up crying children (with approval of parents of course) and welcome everyone warmly. The food of course was also good, as well as the rest of the staff. thank you!
Overlooking Mirabello Bay and the beautiful Venetian castle on the island of Spinalonga, the adults-only Elounda Heights offer an outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi.

Elounda is a compact small town on a beautiful sheltered bay. Easy to walk around to visit shops and the many restaurants, tavernas and cafes. In high season it's very much a resort but it's also really nice to visit it out of season, when it's just a working town. There are expensive resorts and hotels outside the main town and it's obvious that there is sufficient income for the local authorities to keep the roads, pavements, infrastructure, etc., well maintained, unlike some other places on Crete.

Would be a charming town if not sooo many tourists who are being brough to Elounda with big busses to do boat tours.
Above has impact on prices and daily routine in the town, leaving little space for Cretean live-style.

Elounda is a great place - very pretty, everything you need is within walking distance - you dont really need a car. Beaches are close by, or you can walk further out to them. Bars and restaurants all around - some cheap and cheerful, some traditional some finer dining - but all are excellent.
You can get boats from the harbour/port to various places. Lots of places to visit - Spinalonga, Ag Nik, Heraklion, museums etc
Also if you like walking - there are a lot of options around the peninsula and along to Plaka.
It isnt cheap but isn't expensive. There are A LOT of English people who go to Elounda (regularly) - but its not full of sports bars or English breakfast places!
A really good place for a first timer to Crete or Greece.
Everybody is friendly and its a very chilled out place.

Elunda is a little fishing village that has grown with the tourist industry, loads of taverna's and restaurants easily keep you going for two weeks, some nice bars as well.
We go in May or September, September is still up to 30 deg and the sea is lovely and warm, it is a lot quieter and relaxing with older people being the main tourists.
The town has two good beaches, It overlooks a bay that is guarded by Spinalonga Island formerly a leaper colony and before that a Venetian fort, worth a visit by boat from the harbour.
Along the coast a couple of miles in a Taxi is Placa a charming place to have a meal or a drink in the evening, has some very good restaurants with a beautiful view of Spinalonga.
The other side of Elunda is a large town of Agios Nikolaos Lots of shops and things to see even more restaurants.
We hired a car for a few days and went out and about there are a few interesting arclogiclde sites within an hours radius, Kritsais a very old village inland up in the hills, it is worth a visit with lots of craft shops and taverna's and nice views,
We have been to Elunda 4 times and will go back next year hopefully.

The holiday homes are cultured, there are no vendors on the beach, or loud music. There are a lot of rocks in the sea and the fishes are biting :D, so it's worth wearing water shoes. It's a calm and clean city, the locals are nice, the food and drinks are amazing, they give you big portions. There is a lot of wind in Elounda, but Plaka is really windy. There is some nightlife in the bars, but nothing rough. The vacation here is relaxing and pleasant.

Elounda is outstanding.A number of restaurants are on jetties streching out into Elounda bay.
The Blue Sea Cretan Cuisine and seafood restaurant located in front of my hotel was fabulous! Exceptional food and service at great prices.
Elounda and Spinalonga is full of lovely local shops selling beautiful items, many hand made.
The local people I found to be warm and welcoming.
The atmosphere was relaxed with plenty of available sunbeds on the sea front.
I felt no need to go anywhere else as I was staying for 1 week, although there were boat trips on offer along the sea front. I did get the bus to Agios Nikolaus for 1euro 80 each way around 20 minutes from Elounda.
We have stayed in Elounda Heights for four nights, and it has been an amazing experience. Peaceful, great views and pool, spacious appartements, exceptional home made greek cooking and friendly service. The breakfast was delighful with multiple choices and some small sweet surprises. We also recommend the restaurant at the hotel, with great views and lovely home made cooking! We also got great tips to nearby beaches and sights. We will definitely visit again! Thank you, Kostas&Natalia with staff. Ellen&Jørgen
Location was great. Right on the beach, but if you walk 100ft south the beach is much better.
You can walk easily to restaurants, caffes and the local marina. The room was very spacious. We had 2 separate rooms, a kitchen and 2 balconies. The place was very quiet (but plenty of cicadas all over crete). The windows were sound proof!
The kitchen was great. The ac was perfect.
The beds were more comfortable then most hotels.
Highly recommended!!!
Free parking on site.
What to say that's not been said already. What a stunning gem. My sisters and I had a totally fabulous and relaxing stay at Tsifliki Beach House. The views from the terrace are breathtaking especially at dawn and sunset. Easy walk into Elounda and Plaka for beautiful shops and restuarants. The private beach is so peaceful and the family are so welcoming and helpful. You will not be disappointed and we will definitely return.
I am so happy have chosen this property for my stay in Crete, the Hotel is even better than it looks in the pictures. The rooms are amazing bright and modern, the views are spectacular and the girls at the front desk are just wonderful!, especially Vicky which goes above and beyond to ensure your stay goes smoothly. The staff are simply there to make your stay memorable and make you feel at home. Will definitely go back!🙏
I booked this hotel after seeing the great ratings and I was not disappointed. The property is new and very well designed. Maria met us on arrival, gave us fresh lemonade and provided great recommendations on restaurants. We booked the Brown room which was spacious and had everything we could want including robes and slippers! I cannot recommend this hotel enough, the 9.9 rating is very well deserved.
Everything from start to finish was exceptional. Comfy beds, little extras like tea and a water kettle, mini fridge and sweets left on the pillow. Good A/C, soft beds & pillows. Outstanding location, close to all within walking distance. Staff was great 👍🏽 😁 I would 100% recommend this hotel and stay here again.
The personnel was exceptional . Very helpful and always smiling. I hope they get paid well. They deserve it. The Bangalows have outstanding privacy and they are very quiet. The views of the sea and the island are beautiful. The hotel is also very clean and the rooms are being cleaned twice every day.
Highly recommend this property. Location and facilities are excellent - very clean and well maintained. View from the patio is beautiful. Everything is just a short walk away. Fantastic host George made sure we had everyting we needed. Perfect place to stay in Elounda for a couple.
Location and view were excellent. elounda and Agios Nikolaus were super close by. The size of the villa was great too- we hardly used all of it. Michaelis was a lovely person who gave us many good recommendations for the area—just not a good house manager.
THE SERVICE! from the second we arrived until the moment we checked out, we were amazed by the incredible hospitality of the staff. besides that, the view of our hotel room was spectacular and the spa facilities were relaxing and fun.
The staff were friendly but not sure some of them cared much about the guests. The hotels location was a short walk to the centre of Elounda. It was always possible to get a sun bed by the pool and Elounda itself it very pretty.
Where to start? This place is a gem! Prime location, modern sleek looking rooms. Very clean and very nicely decorated. Nectaria and her son are very welcoming and helpful. Super welcoming family, making you feel right at home.
Excellent boutique hotel right in the heart of Elounda yet still peaceful and relaxing. Superb pool heated to the right temperature. The staff couldn't be more welcoming. Highly recommended.
