The pool was nice with a great view. Breakfast was also really good. However, our room was a bit dated and needs updating in some areas. The staff were helpful but could be better.

Beautiful resort with very friendly and professional staff. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa and had our own pool. The view from our deck was amazing! Breakfast buffet had many choices and it was very good.

Stunning property and staff all amazing. Very hilly so need to be fit to get around or have a car. Suites lovely, breakfast plentiful and tasty. Beach club about 10 mins away in complimentary shuttle bus. It’s quite far from Elounda town so we drove in each night. Would be great if hotel had a shuttle bus to take you there. Everything was fabulous and definitely good value for money

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendly reception staff (especially Maria, who remained extremely helpful throughout our stay). The villa was beautiful, and the service was fantastic

Beautiful condo style units. Very nice pool, excellent breakfast included. Staff was outstanding. Location offers a view, but a little too far to walk for shopping or off property restaurants. We had a rental car so that was not an issue for us.

Beautiful property. Staff could not have been or lovely. Great restaurant and bar. It was a short van ride to a small beach club. Area is quiet, but there was dancing at some dinners. There’s an on site spa. My partner and I loved this place!

There are so many things to love about the property. The one thing thing that rises to the top was the warmth and hospitality of the entire staff. The front desk, the restaurant, the driver, the beach staff, the cleaning staff. You get the service of a Four Seasons but with more warmth.

Beautiful salt water infinity pool, the view was fabulous. A great deal, the room and grounds could use some care, peeling paint, weeds, etc. the staff did not know about local weavers on the island. I tried to find them while I was there, but later on the plane found an article!! I would suggest tours of the local area through the front desk.

We booked a villa and ended up with the most magnificent view 24/7. The Villa was great and I could go on and on! The Staff was brilliant and special shout out to Maria and Angela who were warm, kind, and had great recommendations for restaurants in Plaka, Agios Nicholas, and Elounda. Everyone at the Elounda Gulf Villas made the experience special. The beach was great, the pool at the villa makes me want one at home. We would stay here again no question. All that said the view was the star. We highly recommend the EGV.

Good choice but not Great

Hotel staff was very nice. The property is very pretty and the rooms are nice. Beautiful view of the sea and Spinalonga. The position of our room and pool on the balcony only afforded us direct sun for a few hours a day. So if you'd like to spend time in the sun using your pool, I would communicate with the hotel to determine which rooms would afford you with that option. We had beautiful weather in the first week of October, however the water in the pool (both on our balcony and the community pool) was very cold and almost unusable. At this price the pools really should be heated to at least 27C. Regarding the restaurant: Breakfast was excellent! We decided to have dinner at the hotel our first night and it was a tremendous disappointment. It was the worst and only substandard meal we had during our 16 days in Greece..

All the staff were amazing , friendly and nothing was too much trouble - thank you for looking after us . Really enjoyed our stay . Loved the main salt water pool next to the restaurant.

Generally a great place to stay

Staff and service were excellent, really child friendly. Terrace was big, pool was deep. Kids club was great, they never wanted to leave. My only negative comments would be our villa was dated and was certainly due new bathrooms as they were looking very tired.
