Elounda Akti Olous (Adults Only)

Great hotel can’t do enough for you, we have just arrived back from this hotel and it is very chilled place just what you want to unwind , the food the town great quiet place. And the views are all spectacular , I suggest hire a quad to see the other towns ,

Hotel is good, breakfast is lovely especially the Greek yoghurt and Greek honey, rooms are okay, balcony is very small. Wardrobe space is okay once you take out the iron and ironing board. Very little drawer space, I knew this before I came so bought a hanging drawer unit which worked well. Fridge, safe, Air Con, Nespresso machine, kettle and tea and coffee. I did take my own tea bags. The hotel is advertised as Adults Only with a private beach but there are issues. There is no such thing as a private beach in Greece apparently so a family stayed close by with 2 very young children. Also the Sky Bar is open to the public so children allowed in. Whilst most were well behaved, if I book an Adults Only hotel, I don't expect to see children around. The rooftop pool has 16 sunbeds and a couple of bean bag beds around the pool. I am awaiting a knee replacement so once down on the bean bag bed, I couldn't get up again. Went up there once only. Beach is lovely but again very few sunbeds, only 30. I hate playing the game of getting up early to reserve a bed but if I didn't do it, I wouldn't get one and as mentioned previously, I need a bed. But once I reserved a bed, I was on it all day. Beach is extremely shaly so swim shoes are a must. Hotel provides pool/beach towels but if you want to change them, they will charge €2 per towel for laundry costs so take your own. We did the trip to Spinalonga, ferry was €14 per adult return, entry into Spinalonga was €20 each. Loved the trip. We also did the 4 hour Happy Train tour, €25 per adult, and absolutely well worth the trip.

Me and my boyfriend had such an amazing time here in June 2025, we would definitely come back. This is the kind of hotel which is perfect for those looking for a calm and quiet stay. GARDEN ROOM We got a garden view room and the view was a tree haha so minorly disappointed but really what can you expect for a basic room! If you want a nice view maybe upgrade to sea view. The room was a good size with enough storage for us for a week despite some of the complaints. Also, it was really clean upon arrival and was cleaned every day with fresh bedding and towels. There was a free safe in the room, the air conditioning worked well, there was a hairdryer, and the shower was amazing. I read a review before I came that someone was woken up every day by Greek lady's talking very loudly outside the room (assumed to be the cleaners) and I can confirm this was true for us in room 411 (ground floor at the back of the hotel). It never bothered my partner because he seemed to always sleep through it and I didn't mind too much because it was at 8am and we needed to get up for breakfast and to get a lounger anyway. If this would bother you maybe ask for a different room. There was a tablet in the room with all the hotel information and the option to not have your room cleaned the next day which was helpful. There was TV and kettle in the room but we never used it. HOTEL There was good WIFI EVERYWHERE! The WIFI was great in our room, by the pool and even on the beach! The staff were so lovely and helpful and we had NO ISSUES throughout our stay. We brought our own towels but you can can use the hotels ones (paid deposit). There were enough loungers for us getting up at 8am (June time). The hotel is fairly small and very quiet. There was no music by the pool or sea so very peaceful. There was no entertainment which worked well for us because we were out eating and drinking in the evening anyway. The hotel itself was very clean. As you can see from the hotel pictures, you could eat your breakfast outside by the sea which was so lovely. We had a late flight so checked out at 11am and put our cases in the luggage storage room. Reception were able to book us a slot in the courtesy room which we were so grateful to have as we were able to shower and change before we left at 5pm. HOTEL FOOD AND DRINK The breakfast was good. There was hot 'English breakfast' food (eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes), fruit (watermelon, tinned peaches etc.), Greek yoghurt, pastries, cereal, and other random bits. There was a fresh orange juice machine which was INCREDIBLE! They had a coffee machine which was okay and had cows and alternative milk (soya and almond). We had to pay for water which we found odd (not sure if that is common or not). The beer was very affordable (4.50 euros) and the cocktails were really good (9-11 euros). There were plenty of other drink options too. The Sky Bar opened at 11am. LOCAL AREA The hotel is just a short walk along the coast to plent
