We chose the Elounda Blu because of the write ups and overall were very pleased with the hotel. We had half board and the buffet breakfast and evening meals were fine. There was a good selection to choose from. There was coffee and tea in the morning but not at night and a cup of Nescafe(1 x sachet and hot... More

I have never booked and flown with Thomas Cook... More

I stayed here for the first week in May. I booked as half board but all guests got a free upgrade to all inclusive for the first ten days. I did feel this was to make up for any incomplete amenities, rooms still being refurbished etc. It was their opening week and the staff were all very attentive which was... More

Just got back from a lovely week away at Elounda Blu. The hotel offered really great style and value considering the package price (booked through Thomas Cook who upgraded us to all inclusive for free as part of a May offer) and I would definitely go back. It is a little in the middle of no-where (no conveinience store near)... More

The hotel itself is in a beautiful location with views over the bay and Spinalonga (read Victoria Hislop`s The Island, a must read while taking in this view). The room we had was functional although not 4... More

The Elounda Blu is in an idyllic setting and benefits from incredible views of the sea, mountains and Spinalonga Island. There is a steep walk (3-4mins) up to the higher level rooms (rooms in 300-500s) but if you are happy to walk then views are great. You can take a lift to the level where 200s are. I found all...

My favorite thing about this place is the view of Spinalonga island. I like that the hotel is sort of set in an alcove and when you're on the beach huge hills are surrounding you, with Spinalonga island as the centerpiece. Some people may not like the stony beach, but I thought it was pretty, and it's not hard to... More

Loved the food, great choice and everything we ate was perfectly cooked. Lovely view from our balcony but be warned that the climb to the hotel reception and then to the rooms are very steep, we were really puffing and we were only on the 300's definitely wouldn't have made it any higher. You can take the lift to 2nd... More
