Porto Elounda Golf & Spa Resort

“Best hotel in Elounda?”

We’ve stayed at Elounda Beach five times over the years, so were slightly nervous about trying somewhere different. In the end, Porto Elounda exceeded our expectations. The biggest difference is the atmosphere. It feels much more relaxed and family-oriented, while still being a genuinely high-quality hotel. Nothing feels forced or overly formal, and we found ourselves unwinding much more quickly than usual. The food was a real surprise. Even the buffet was excellent, with a level of quality and variety you don’t often see. We genuinely looked forward to dinner every evening. A special mention to the manager, who was outstanding throughout our stay. He was always visible, always helpful, and clearly cares about both the guests and the team. That attitude seems to run through the whole hotel. The location is beautiful, the beach is great, and the service was consistently friendly and professional. After five stays at Elounda Beach, I didn’t expect to find a hotel in the area that suited us better, but Porto Elounda probably does. We would happily return.

“Nice chilled family time, Loved this place”

A Truly Amazing Stay – Like Paradise! We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this hotel as a family of four from Scotland, and we’re already missing it!

A Truly Amazing Stay – Like Paradise! We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this hotel as a family of four from Scotland, and we’re already missing it! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm, friendly smiles from the staff, who couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming. Their kindness made a wonderful first impression and set the tone for the rest of our stay. The hotel itself is spotless and beautifully maintained, with stunning views that made it feel like a slice of paradise. Our kids absolutely loved the pool – we could hardly get them out of it! The buffet food was always fresh and delicious. If we could suggest one small improvement, it would be to add themed nights for a bit more variety – but honestly, we were more than happy with the quality and selection each day. We’re already planning our return – if we could stay here forever, we would! Thank you for an unforgettable holiday. See you again soon!

Overall an excellent hotel subject to one qualification ,i will mention below . The staff were all very helpful and clearly well trained (especially the reception staff who were very good in helping with external restaurant reservations /calling taxis etc ) .We were very pleased with our rooms which were spacious and clean and our daughter had an interconnecting room for her toddler which worked out very well with plenty of room for everyone and no disturbing the toddler when going to bed . A bit of a trek up and down the hillside to get to the pool with all that entails with children .However the pool was clean and there was never any difficulty in getting pool seats .We didn't go in the sea really as we were put off by the line of incoming plastic rubbish when the wind was blowing in .To be fair the pool staff worked very hard to scoop up the plastic waste ( mainly fishing nets and lines ) and i guess this is just a feature of the modern Mediterranean . With one exception the restaurants within the resort were all very good but priced knowing you were on the resort . The exception was the buffet -we were on a half board basis which meant that breakfast and dinner in the buffet were included or there was a E24 pp allowance towards dinner in the other resort restaurants .Breakfast in the buffet was ok, nothing particularly exciting apart from the fact that virtually all of the "hot food" was on griddles that were barely warm so it quickly became not quite hot food. However the evening was at best underwhelming and at times just awful .It is good to have fish fingers.chicken and chips to help feed the children at suppertime .However as an adult i don't really want this for dinner.I will attach a couple of photos showing the uninspiring dinner buffet .One of the items i thought was a meat turned out to be tuna steaks that had been there so long they had turned to rubber ( and i think of the price of tuna in London...) We ended up going out of the resort on a few evenings just to avoid the buffet . So F& B management please try to improve this aspect of your service .
