Domes Aulus Elounda All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

We upgraded to Cool Living Zen Suite with private outdoor jacuzzi Room was beautiful with the most stunning view. No warm water for jacuzzi but in all honesty if using in the day you won’t want extra heat anyway! I would have liked the option of room service and free mini bar refills given 5 star, but it certainly wouldn’t deter me from booking The rooftop cool living pool, bar and restaurant is 100% worth the upgrade and feels night and day from the standard pool area. I do have one BIG criticism. They do not police the guests attending the area AT ALL! We paid extra to access this area, yet getting beds was so difficult because they allowed all hotel guests to use it. They really really need to fix this. There is a lifeguard on duty who has very little to do, seems to me they could get this person to ask for room numbers or to see key (as cool living have different key) at no extra staffing cost. So easy to fix and all cool living guests complained of this. Food was good. Not ‘blow me away’ good but good enough and met my expectations. We had a big birthday whilst there and they were brilliant and making it special. We had a personalised birthday cake, a great table and the band sang happy birthday. We booked a half day semi private catamaran through the concierge and it was absolutely fantastic. The concierge are great and arranged all our restaurants too. The location was amazing! Highly recommend visiting Plaka, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. A trip to Spinalonga is a must. Also, do take advantage of the hotels free shuttle to Agios! Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. I just think they need to fix the issue with allowing none paying guests in the cool living area.

Just came back from Domes Aulus Elounda and had a fantastic time. The cocktails were excellent – special mention to Alexandros, whose drinks stood out every time. You could tell he put extra care and effort into each cocktail, and the quality was easily on par with top London bars. My favourite was definitely the Negroni – perfectly balanced and beautifully made. The food was also very impressive, even at the buffet, which maintained a consistently high standard throughout our stay. We had access to Cool Living, which offered stunning views and an elevated experience. That said, the standard areas were also great and more than enjoyable. Overall, a brilliant trip with exceptional service, high-quality food and drinks, and an amazing setting. Would definitely recommend and return!

Amazing hotel with the most wonderfull views. The staff couldnt be more friendly anything you asked for they did their best to sort it for you. They even went the extra mile when our transfer refused to wait when the could t come up to reception to collect us and left us in the lurch (boy thats going to be a different review) they arranged and paid for a taxi to take us the 75km or so to the airport at no expense to ourselves. Rooms were neat and tidy transport up and down the hill was regular and easy and the food was all nice. Cannot praise this hotel enough and we look forward to coming back
