We had orginally been booked into another hotel in a nearby resort, but when it closed early for the season, in October, we were offered Porto Elounda Resort as an alternative. I looked at the hotel website, which was encouraging (but they always are)and the Tripadvisor comments, which were mixed and did make me a little anxious as to what... more

One of the most dated 5* hotels I have ever seen with incompetent management - NO atmosphere in the evenings and rude and unhelpful staff. This hotel will be on the verge of collapse as it was nearly empty in July this year. They have a wonderful location which they have decided to build a disgusting building on! The rooms... more

Long have I dreamt about experiencing a luxury destination spa hotel. I like you reader have seen the articles in the glossy magazines and been seduced by the images of exotic locations and groups of men and women exercising tai chi. After much thought I chose upon the Six Senses Spa at the Porto Elounda De Luxe Resort on the... more

Having salivated over the Porto Elounda website with it's incredible infinity pool imagine our disappointment on arriving at the hotel to discover that we had been allocated rooms with no pool access. Showing an infinity pool on the website is clearly misleading as it can only be accessed by rooms leading directly onto it. In fact there are a number... more

We just returned from 1 week at Porto Elounda. Very disappointed. We expected luxury and did not get it. The resort is sold on the website as being "in the lap of luxury", as a five star de luxe resort. It is even printed on all their towels - Porto Elounda De Luxe resort. It also has a very strong... more

This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review for tripadvisor, despite using the site regularly to read others, as this hotel is really special! My husband and I travelled here with our two children age 8 and 9 and stayed in a 2 bedroomed /2 bathroomed suite with private pool for a fortnight. The rooms... more

When we decided to take a vacation with our two children (2,5 years & 10months) we didnt really know what to expect. Travelling with a baby isnt easy and having a 2+ child along didnt make things easier. We needed a Hotel that would really provide all necessery facilities to help us take care of our kids while having a... more

The Elounda resort area is a unique location where the blue of the sky meets the blue of the sea under the sun; the architecture fits perfectly with the environment which s fully respected; full of green loans olive trees and exotic flowers, the smells of crete and of the meditteranean are full represented in this location; the variety of... more

like many other reviewers, I can definetely recommend this hotel for families! We travelled with our 2 year old daughter and the Childrens Ark was very good. She stayed there from 10-14 for 4 days and we got some "quality" time together with my wife. We even had babysitting service for two nights, worked very well. Rooms were ok and... more
