Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Elounda Mare earns high praise for its beautiful grounds and convenient access to the beach, with Agios Nikolaos easily reachable. Guests often highlight the spacious and well-equipped rooms, some boasting magnificent sea views, with family rooms providing ample space for everyone. Breakfast stands out, particularly the Greek coffee, though some have found the standard coffee less satisfying. While the gym has been noted by some as being outdated, the hotel offers a private beach, a superb pool and options for watersports.
