As my father lives in Pano Elounda the hotel was well located. However we were very disapponted with our large twin room...for us and 2 children aged 5 and 9. To us it was not large, two twin single beds had been pushed together for us and the children after a room swap due to insufficient beds had very small... more

During my week away in Elounda in Crete I stayed in the Akti Olous hotel. Its in a very good location and not too far from the centre of Elounda. The hotel is very clean and cleaned daily. The staff in the hotel are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are ideal for couples and family with one child. The... more

Carole, East Yorkshire, England 10-24 May,2009 I chose The Akti Olous Hotel primarily for it's location in Elounda which is less than an hour from the archaeological site of Knossos. The hotel is also situated right next to The Bay of Mirabella and the views from the junior suites are stunning. You can also have your breakfast or dine on... more

Just stayed at the Akti Olous in beautiful Elounda. This hotel is very clean, the rooms were more basic than I would have liked. We booked a "Sea View" room, which (unless you stay in a suite), you can see the sea if you crane your neck a bit. The towels and sheets were changed regularly, and the room was... more

This is a lovely hotel just outside the village of Elounda. Immaculately clean with friendly helpful staff. This was the first week of 'the season' so it was quiet. The bathroom is TINY but good sized rooms, very clean and most with sea views (tiny balcony). The hotel is family owned. We requested a 'courtesy room' for our shower and... more

The location of this hotel is perfect. It is right next to the sea and away from the main road. It is a short walk to the main part of Elounda. We loved the location, however did not like the hotel! Our room was cleaned every day, but the towels and sheets although clean often were threadbare and had inground... more

We spent the first 2 weeks of October at this charming little hotel, we booked on a whim about 6 weeks previously and our expectations were not that high. We arrived at 6am and fortunately some returning guests were on our coach, otherwise I think finding reception could have been something of mystery tour. The coach drops you on the... more

We booked our whole holiday over the Internet but did consult Trip Adviser before hand. The Akti Olous is charming it is in an excellent location. The staff are very nice and efficient. The rooms are not large but extremely clean, bed linen and towels changed every second day and the room cleaned everyday - properly cleaned not just a... more

Spent two relaxing weeks at the Akti Olous in Elounda. I echo all the positive points that others have made about cleanliness, friendliness etc. Some negatives: bathroom floor treacherous when wet (the shower curtain does not help) - my husband had a very bad fall on the first night. Take a non slip bath mat. Pool looked beautiful but did... more
