Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

The staff is outstanding. Everybody is nice and you feel a wish to « go the extra mile ». You want something they don’t have, the find a way. Absolutely no waiting time with the buggies as the staff are so numerous. We had such a lovely time. The resort is indeed kid friendly however the « adult zones » create a bit of a weird feeling and there are not a lot of animation like some resort. You don’t go there for the animation, you go there for the extreme serenity provided by the beauty of the place. Tips: ask for a buggy tour around the hotel. You should see everything, views are outstanding!

Even though at capacity it still felt spacious with room at the pools, plenty of options during the day, love the cafe on the beach. Haute Living staff super helpful with reservation suggestions. Luxury 2 bed residence felt very private and the pool is a great size. Quality and decor were exceptional.

Stunning property Incredible pools Super nice staff

Incredible property, amazing location. Rooms are very spacious, comfortable beds. Food at all outlets was really delicious - and the consistency of the buffet breakfast was impressive. Property is quite large, but you're never left waiting long to get a buggy to take you from one part of the resort to the other. Another massive plus for families is how well staff cater to your needs. Not only is the kids club an amazing resource, but even down to how staff across all restaurants are so good and friendly with children. The beach club is also super chic, food is great there too. The water at the beach is fresh, but so beautiful, amazing blues. I would recommend if you are staying in the eastern part of Crete - this is the place to be, it's a resort feel without being to commercial and touristy feeling - a great balance of luxury and reality, given the area it's located in (situated between the small village of Plaka and larger town of Elounda)

Excellent

Das Hotel war super, alle waren sehr freundlich. Lediglich der Zimmerservice kam nicht sehr oft in unser Zimmer, Espressomaschine (was ich gut finde) wurde gar nicht aufgefüllt. Gründe dafür konnte ich nicht herausfinden. Ich finde die Getränke im Hotel sind etwas teuer, aber für das was angeboten wird, ist das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis gut.

A recommander

Excellent location, walking distance to Plaka and a short car ride to Elounda. The property is well maintained and enjoys a private beach. The only negative experience was the overwhelming kids on the beach and the breakfast areas despite the dedicated adults only areas which were not respected by guests nor enforced by the staff.

I view this as a base level 4 star, not a 5 star hotel as advertised. There a pieces that are up to that level (beach bar, welcome greeting) but others fall flat of expectations. It's certainly geared more towards families than couples and I would not endorse this if you don't have or want to hear children at all times. To eat anywhere on the property for dinner requires a reservation that cannot be made until you check in and then none are available once you do and you're left in a scramble. Areas of improvement: The layout of the bathroom was odd where the toilet was in the shower so you couldn't actually use the non-rainshower option or it would cover the toilet. It's also difficult to get in touch with staff unless you go to reception which is quite far for some accommodations or stay in your room. The TVs don't have any streaming apps or screen mirror capabilities. The headboard had a deep stain that was unpleasant. As always, do your research and check if other options nearby could be a better value for you.

The Domes of Elounda was a beautiful property. The facilities including pools were beautiful. The reason I give it an ok is due primarily to service and maintenance considering the price. I expected 5 stars and got 4. The first night our electric went out. They fixed that that night but the hot tub did not work until the next day. The bar servers were incredibly slow. Other service was slow as well due to most of the servers being new. The cart drivers were great as well as reception.

Outstanding hotel in infrastructure, extremely comfortable room and very sympathetic employees.

Roomservice lässt bei dieser Kategorie dann doch zu wünschen übrig. Sonst alles wunderbar, einfach und unkompliziert.

A beautiful premium resort, which is set in sunning location.

Great hotel for families. Staff is incredible

Not the type of hotel for us.

Should have automatic access to sauna and spa given it’s a spa hotel only access is if you have a treatment for 30 mins and if over they charge you on top of having already paid for a premium treatment

Beautiful hotel. We stayed in a suite with a private pool which was excellent. Amazing views out to spinalonga. Lovely restaurants within the resort. Elounda and plaka within short walking distance.

Private beach is a hidden gem, facilities are all spotless, staff are very attentive and friendly, food quality is very nice and great selection across all restaurants

Wunderschönes Hotel an super Lage. Sehr ruhig & sehr saube. Das Personal war jederzeit sehr hilfsbereit.

Good hotel but excavation / construction happening just behind the villas in October 2025
