Amazing hotel with the most wonderfull views. The staff couldnt be more friendly anything you asked for they did their best to sort it for you. They even went the extra mile when our transfer refused to wait when the could t come up to reception to collect us and left us in the lurch (boy thats going to be a different review) they arranged and paid for a taxi to take us the 75km or so to the airport at no expense to ourselves. Rooms were neat and tidy transport up and down the hill was regular and easy and the food was all nice. Cannot praise this hotel enough and we look forward to coming back

We spent our honeymoon at Domes Aulus Elounda and absolutely loved it. Huge thanks to George, the Operations Manager. Back in January, when we made our booking, we sent a bunch of questions and George personally replied to every email, patiently guiding us through everything and helping us feel confident about our choice. When we finally arrived, he welcomed us in person, remembered our conversation, and made us feel instantly recognized as Hilton members. The room upgrade was a wonderful surprise, and his warm, personal approach made all the difference. The view from our room was stunning, and the food at Greko Levante and Vatanne was honestly some of the best we had in Greece. This place has heart not just beautiful views and great food, but real people who make you feel at home. We’ll definitely be back!

What a wonderful hotel. Stayed in Cool Living at the top of the hill. Regular buggy and car transfers between the hotel reception and the Cool Living Section. Fabulous restaurants and great staff. Difficult to praise particular staff as all wonderful but Tamara and Seraphina were especially lovely. Stayed for 9 nights and will return. Beach was great with drink service and snacks. Hotel should consider wrist bands or similar as guests from the bottom hotel came up to the top and used the limited sunbeds. Easily resolved by giving Cool Living guests different colour towels for the sunbeds. Overall a fabulous holiday.

We have had an amazing time at Domes Aulus Elounda on our honeymoon. I was a bit worried when i read the reviews but i can now confirm that this place is magical! Back story, my husband broke his ankle in 2 places in March and is still very much recovering with limited mobility. When we arrived we both looked at each other and thought we had made a mistake... the resort is very steep and plonked on the side of the mountain, which is what gives it its breathtaking views. We couldn't have been more wrong. The amazing transport team are on hand to take you in a car, golf buggy or bus to wherever you need to go. They were so accommodating and polite. We never waited more than 5 minutes for transport. George was a true gentleman and really made us feel welcome. As for the food, we are both vegetarian. Our first experience at Greco Levante A La Carte restaurant was a little ropey. We explained that we were Vegetarian and put it on the booking reservation. The menu says 'ask for vegan and vegetarian options' but the host explained there was only a special starter a beetroot salad which would cost extra, no other mains available. Luckily there were a few starter options to choose from on the menu but only one main which was a tomato pasta. It was OK but not very imaginative from a 5* culinary experience. We were concerned, however couldn't have been more wrong. From then onwards we had ample options in all buffets and the a la carte restaurants. We had vegetarian sushi, poke bowls, pasta dishes, pizza, salads, pitta, gyros, deserts. It was fantastic. My only recommendation would be to consider a vegetarian protein at the buffet as it was carb heavy. But we were really impressed. The food was honestly a hilight. It's not a huge buffet with lots of bland/beige food. It's a smaller (still plentiful) selection but done well and always fresh. The cocktails were also amazing. The bartenders are really attentive and their cocktail making is a true craft. We loved the grab and go so we could stay hydrated and take drinks back to the room. The pool at the Cool living area was breathtaking. We had no issues getting a bed. It was very civilised. We also had a private pool in our room which was amazing. Our only criticism here was that a green scum had formed around the edge of the pool which did ruin two swim outfits as it rubbed off. They came to clean the pool on day 6. I think that should be done more regularly. However we just cracked on with it :). All in all we had an AMAZING time at Domes Aulus Elounda. The views, the ambience, the service, the transport, the food, the drinks, the room, the pool - EVERYTHING was a 10/10. THANK YOU for a memorable honeymoon 🇬🇷💕

We visited at the beginning of May this year, and I was absolutely enchanted by Crete and this hotel. I can't wait to return—and we certainly will! *From the very start:* We were warmly welcomed upon arrival. My parents were quite tired from the journey, and everyone ensured that my father felt like he was already on vacation. The hotel manager, a very kind woman, greeted us personally. Christa, who took care of us, was invaluable! She was understanding and didn't let the language barrier with my parents be an issue. Always helpful and smiling—truly wonderful! We enjoyed joking around; she showed us everything in the room. I hope we meet again! *The room:* Very nice and clean, with housekeeping doing a perfect job. Thank you for accommodating my father's disability by placing us on the lowest possible floor; it made him feel independent. The private pool was consistently cleaned. The gifts in the room were a delightful surprise. *Dining and service:* Indescribable! Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, and most importantly, smiling! Thank you to all the staff; your efforts made our holiday exceptionally enjoyable and comfortable. Special thanks to Christina for always being there to help. Every time I entered the restaurant area and saw her, I couldn't help but smile! You treat everyone equally, which is truly special. The beach bar staff member, even at the end of her shift, would check if we needed anything else—so sweet and always striving to please. *Hotel location:* Situated on a hill, but for those with mobility issues, there are always staff available with golf carts or cars—always smiling and helpful! *A special thank you:* For the surprise for my mother. On the day of our departure, she celebrated her 65th birthday, and the day before, a cake awaited her in the room! It was incredibly touching to see how much you care for your guests. We were all moved! *Farewell:* Christa gave us beautiful gifts filled with positive energy, which we brought home with us! It was also invaluable that she waited until our transfer arrived. The hotel manager also came to say goodbye. We've shared our experience with all our friends and recommend your hotel to everyone! This region of the island, Elounda, and especially your hotel, are magnificent! Thank you once again for everything! I can't wait to return to room 109 and see you all again. ❤️
