Elounda Akti Olous (Adults Only)

We stayed here from 24th September until 9th October and we had the most amazing time. The hotel is lovely, very clean, modern and right on the water, and a short walk to the village centre. We loved having breakfast on the water every morning and the staff were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Big shout out to Poppy in the Sky bar who made the most amazing cocktails! The only criticism I would have about the hotel is the pool area. It's quite small and there's not enough sunbeds for guests. It turned out not to be too much of an issue as we ended up spending most of our time at the beach, just a very short walk from the hotel. I know the hotel are taking steps to address the issues with the pool area so I'm excited to see what they do with it. We had the best holiday here, its a great hotel and Elounda is just beautiful. We honestly can't wait to return!

Any customer facing business owes its success to its staff and how they interact with their clients, even when tired and faced with stressful situations, the Atki Olous has this in bucketfuls. Indeed, some of the nicest people that you will ever meet work here. The hotel is spotlessly clean from top to bottom with daily room cleaning and frequent linen changes. Breakfast covers whatever you might desire which can be eaten on a pontoon over the sea, with fish ever ready to fight over scraps and within a short walk along a beautiful front is restaurant after restaurant all serving classically Greek dishes, plus more to suit all tastes. I personally would like to thank Popi and Spiros in the sky bar, fantastically friendly, knowledgeable and make the best drinks. Yanis, the night porter, great banter late at night and all round very knowledgeable nice guy Anastasia and Denia on reception always helpful The Nikos family who make all this possible Also, all those who work so hard in the background, the cleaners and servers who do a thoroughly superb job and make the Atki Olous such a wonderful place to stay. This is our third visit to this superbly family run hotel and we have already booked to return in May

This was our second visit to this hotel. We love the location, cleanliness and very good breakfasts. The staff are nice especially one of the male receptionists - evening time. He has a really good sense of humour. I have to say that the Sky Bar annoyed us this year with the Ibiza Club music mid morning onwards. Guests were reading and relaxing - there is no call for it. We would definitely stay again but would choose a room away from the staircase as the noise filters through from the open reception area and Sky Bar at the end of the evening. Overall a very good hotel.

Fantastic holiday and so relaxed and chilled. Two weeks of sheer bliss. Our flight was delayed from Liverpool so we arrived around 1am having been deposited in side street of Elounda and walking down narrow cobbled street, we were a little concerned. We woke next morning to a wonderful blue sky and full sunshine, glorious after our miserable English summer! We had a side sea view. Ok balcony is on tight side but to see that view. Breakfast was amazing and all of the hotel and eating areas are spotless and the staff are always cleaning and catering to all ones needs. Staff very polite and pleasant. Effy is lovely and works so hard. We often had lunch on beach. There is a snack menu. Bliss having a glass of wine served on the beach. Most days we just relaxed on the private beach or at the roof top pool with its amazing views. Another plus side to this hotel is adults only. Double bonus. Everything is within walking distance. We ate a few nights at the restaurant and once again food was amazing. The owners of the hotel have invested and spent money. Nice little touches, comfortable sun beds, decent parasols. Safe and air conditioning in rooms. We often used to have a cocktail in evening in rooftop bar, Spiros is lovely and so friendly, we miss him. Lovely cool breeze in evening. We will be back, thank you.

perfect location on the beachfront with stunning views , lovely restaurants on doorstop and main square less than ten mins flat walk away. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Have already rebooked for October this year, very rarely go back to the same place twice but could not fault this lovely small hotel

I can't speak highly enough of this little family run hotel. Firstly, the location is perfect. Right on the seafront but in a quieter part of the town, plenty of good restaurants and bars in the near vicinity. I don't like the big fancy hotels, if you do - this one may not be for you. The hotel is immaculate, the cleaners do a fabulous job. The room was small but had everything we need, although a chest of drawers would have been useful. I recommend getting a side sea view as they are lighter and there is a small balcony to sit and enjoy the view. The shower was good and plenty of hot water. Breakfast had a good selection of hot and cold food and delicious pastries cooked daily by the chef. Scrambled egg and fried eggs were perfect. There is a small beach and we always found a subbed. We did not use the pool but it looked nice on the rooftop. The skybar is very popular and they show live sports (not for me). The restaurant was brilliant. The head waiter Mike was very attentive, knew exactly what we wanted and recommended many delicious foods. The chef was amazing. Beware, the portions are big. All of the staff made our stay perfect. The owners are on site everyday to help with anything you need. Perfect place for a chill out holiday.
