Our first visit to Elounda Mare was in May 1987, and returning again in May 2026 felt like reconnecting with an old friend. The hotel still retains its unique charm, elegance and warm hospitality that made us fall in love with it all those years ago. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with freshly painted surroundings giving the property a lovely refreshed feel. While some fixtures and fittings would now benefit from an upgrade, this in no way detracted from the wonderfully relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We stayed in a One Bedroom Superior Suite with the most enchanting view across the stunning Mirabello Bay - waking up to that panorama every morning was truly magical. The staff throughout the hotel were exceptional. Special thanks to the amazing concierge Ioanna, who went above and beyond to help with every request, and to the ever-helpful night receptionist Mikhalis for his kindness and professionalism. It was also a pleasure meeting the interesting new manager, whose enthusiasm for the hotel was very evident. The food and beverage team were excellent throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the cocktail reception and the delightful Fish Night at the Yacht Club Restaurant. Our favourite dining experience, however, was at the Japanese restaurant Sumosan, which was absolutely outstanding. After 39 years, Elounda Mare still offers timeless charm, genuine warmth and unforgettable views. We very much hope to return soon.

5th time been to this hotel and it will not be the last

Super rent rum, phenomenalt snälla och hjälpsamma människor, idealt att koppla av på bäst sätt.

So relaxing

Very peaceful and quiet. Staff very friendly and attentive.

The personnel was wonderful

Great stay

A really peaceful place.

Magnifique établissement extrêmement bien entretenu en bord de mer avec très belles installations et un personnel aux petits soins. La piscine est superbe, la plage privée et le spa le sont également. Cet établissement est un vrai havre de paix, idéal pour des vacances romantiques et reposantes. Notez chambre était très bien équipée et très spacieuse, avec une magnifique vue sur la mer. Nous y avons passé un excellent séjour.

Great hotel in a lovely location however it would have been nice to have been told of the construction site next door, difficult to relax by the beach when the noise of diggers can be heard in the back ground

Wonderful stay, relaxing, amazing amenities and views with friendly staff

C'est un resort incroyable ! En terme d'

Loved my bungalow on the sea with private pool. The large hotel swimming pool was also very beautiful. Easy access to the sea via sturdy ladders. Charming secluded nooks with lounge chairs and tables at different levels. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Water shuttle to multiple restaurants on the property. Enjoyed the delicious sushi and more at the exceptional seafront Sumosan Japanese restaurant, where glass floor panels offered a look into the fish and sea below us. Lovely landscaping. Attentive and caring staff. Interesting shops. I did not use the Six Senses Spa, but for those who are spa people, I don’t doubt it is as remarkable as everything else there. Many guests return regularly, and I definitely want to stay again. Highly recommend this very special getaway.

Truly amazing location with wonderful facilities and staff. Gorgeous sea view. Wonderful pool.

Everything about this resort was spectacular.

It was an amazing properties with every amenity needed

Superb!

Amazing !!!

This was a beautiful property and my wife and I loved staying there. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.

A good option within the Elounda area. Not as wonderful as many other R and C hotels though. The place feels like part of a much bigger complex because of the many resorts either side and not like a unique and special one off. Views and food very good. Our superior room was lovely but very noisy from guests and families from other rooms. Communication between staff not always working. We had an earthquake of 6.3 while there but no one checked to see if we were ok.
