Innside by Melia Elounda

Wir sechs – vier Erwachsene und zwei Kinder – verbrachten im September 2023 zehn Tage hier. Fantastische Unterkunft, familiengeführt, freundliches Personal, atemberaubende Aussicht!, großer Pool und wirklich schöne, saubere Unterkunft. Wir verbrachten viele Tage damit, am Pool zu faulenzen, da es so entspannend war, aber wenn wir uns hinauswagten, gab es im Dorf Elounda viel zu tun und es war nur fünf Autominuten oder ein angenehmer 40-minütiger Spaziergang entfernt und die größere Stadt Agios Nikolaos war zwanzig Autominuten entfernt. Das Frühstücks- und Abendbuffet war ebenfalls ausgezeichnet und bot ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis – wir werden alle in Zukunft wiederkommen!

Just got home from a week in the illion elunda.its was a lovely sunny week the views are spectacular. The staff can't do enough for you.special thanks to Albert and Gregory the barman.its on a hill so you need to be healthy. Elounda is 45 mins walk or 2 euros on the bus or 10 by taxi.when we arrived at midnight we used the phone at the bottom of the hill. The night man came and collected us and our luggage. We were given food and drink then taken to our room where he carried both our cases to our room.food was good but as the hotel was closing things weren't as plentiful. Which is to be expected as there was only a few of us left on last couple of days.we would still recommend it .thanks to everyone Michael and linda.

Just arrived home after the most wonderful stay at Elounda Llion. What a fantastic hotel with amazing views. The thing that struck me with this hotel is just how clean everywhere is. The staff work so hard to maintain the cleanliness. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and even on check out day we were encouraged to eat drink and make use of the facilities which worked perfectly with a checkout of 11am but the coach wasn’t picking us up until 9pm. We were still able to shower and freshen up and leave our belongings in a safe area. The town is a short walk 20 minutes or so and a taxi back ( uphill) 10euros. The town is quaint with delightful bars and restaurants and felt safe. It’s our favourite hotel so pretty, safe clean a wide variety of foods, plenty of sun beds and views to die for, we’ve stayed in many hotels in Greece and this out shines them all! Thanks for having us, we will return one day x

The Hotel is in a stunning location and overall appearance is very pretty. We had a lovely, large sea view room with balcony. Bed very comfortable, fridge, which was a real bonus. The bathroom shower curtain was too short so each time we showered the bathroom floor was flooded. Small issue but irritating. Second morning we were woken up by drilling and banging. Turns out there were builders renovating the room next door to us. Why this would happen in season I have no idea. Reception were sympathetic and offered us another room. It was not nearly as nice as our present room. So we decided to stay in the room we had, despite the building noise. After a day out we came back to a surprise of a basket of fruit, two glasses and a nice bottle of wine to put in our fridge. Nice touch and much appreciated. We were very disappointed that the bar inside the hotel had been stripped out and not functioning at all. Despite the hotel facilities stating there were two bars. This was an issue. With only the pool bar open everything was served in plastic cups. I understand that for around the pool area but do not want to have my drinks every evening served in these plastic cups. I would have loved to have a cocktail in a cocktail glass or coffee and liqueur in a decent glass. Happily to have paid for premium brands if glasses were used. There are great photos on the hotel gallery of a beautiful bar indoors with soft lighting. A great Shame we could not experience this. We went out every night to Elounda as a result. The food was a real mixed bag. Really good variety for breakfast, although fruit a bit repetitive, but delicious. Hot dishes never hot. The evening meals were probably the least enticing. They were mostly slow cooked dishes and could have been tasty but for the fact they were never hot, barely warm, which is not very appealing. The deserts were a little thin on variety, although the Baklava was fab. We happened to have lunch on two occasions and this was a completely different experience. A variety of interesting salads, grilled meats, Greek spinach filo pie, very tasty, and a couple of good pasta dishes. The dessert section was a delight. As I said a very mixed bag between lunch and evening. All the staff worked very hard to keep the dining area and food stations clean and tidy. We found the hotel pool a nice area to relax on a sun bed in the late afternoon and a refreshing swim. In the morning after breakfast it was delightful to sit under the tree on the terrace and have coffee, a cinnamon biscuit, which were melt in the mouth, and read looking at the magnificent view. The beach was a 15 minute walk with a beach bar, sun beds and umbrellas. A great place to swim and enjoy the views once again. We loved Elounda which had a variety of very good bars along the waterfront. The restaurants were varied and offered excellent fish dishes. We very much enjoyed our stay in Elounda and the hotel definitely was a place to chill.
