Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection

This resort is a very special place. It has as its backdrop the singularly gorgeous Elounda Bay but in addition, it has a remarkable group of staff members who make every moment at this property feel custom. We stayed at a “Luxury Residence” with a private pool, which was nothing short of amazing. It allows privacy to regroup/recharge/and enjoy precious family time. The food at each of the three dining experiences we enjoyed was absolutely stellar! We rarely choose to eat on property at resorts, often finding the food subpar and choosing instead to explore the area. After trying one on property restaurant, (Blend), it was so delicious that we then tried (Makris), which was just as impressive resulting in a third on property experience at an authentic Cretan Bbq at Core. WONDERFUL! I highly recommend a stay at this property. It is just over an hour from Heraklion airport, but it is well worth the travel!

We arrived at night but received a room upgrade from garden view to sea view which was very nice, however the room did smell like it was previously smoked in. It seems as though we were on the older side of the resort that was renovated. There is a newer side of the resort as well (on the other side). The property is huge with lots of amenities (shops, restaurants, food trucks, tennis, games room, amphitheatre, bars). Nearby there are 3 places I would recommend. 15 min walk to the east side of the island to a small town, 45 min walk to the west side - town of Elounda or a taxi ride to Agios Nicolaus where there are many shops and restaurants. All very beautiful and very fun to discover (especially at night). One thing I had been curious about was what was included in food that I didn’t see online if you have food included in your stay - it’s either a nightly buffet for each person included or if you decide to skip the buffet and go to one of their restaurants it is a 20 euro credit per person for the restaurant - very worth it even if you go one time to their buffet Overall food was very good. One downside was the about of kids at the resort - we didn’t realize but apparently they advertise this hotel to families so every time we were at the buffet, there would be kids screaming on either side of us. As much as they have adult zones, either they are full or kids end up being there anyways. This was a bit of a let down for the beautiful atmosphere that they had.

We stayed at Domes of Elounda for 4 nights/5 days. We used the family pool, kids club and had dinner at all of their restaurants. The service was excellent. Every staff member we came into contact with was professional, pleasant and consistent. It was the perfect all inclusive resort and we only left to do a little shopping. I highly recommend this resort.

Amazing hotel, beach is fantastic. Heated pool for kids, restaurants very good. Views are amazing

Great staff and service. We had an issue with our room and the teams went the extra mile to fix it. It is a resort that gladly welcomes kids

My family and I loved our stay. The kids had a great time. Staff were amazing and so welcoming. Pool is lovely but it would have been nice for the resort to have a more kid friendly pool area. With a plot so big something a little more exciting and engaging for the kids would be wonderful. In any case we had a wonderful time and made some wonderful memories

Great family hotel with superior rooms / private pools and top service
