![]() My husband is an avid golfer and enjoys golfing weekly back home when weather permits. Unfortunately, it was too chilly in 2021 for us to jet ski and we were more into relaxing in 2023, although we did a bit of snorkeling. Regardless, this resort is perfect for water activities. In 2019 we had a great time snorkeling and Jet Skiing. The design of the beaches and the pools are really a work of art! We enjoyed a lot of relaxation here. We also enjoyed the prompt service of our drinks and food. Truly memorable in every way. It is an incomplete circular shape around the water and although it is a sandy beach and continues to the sea, it feels more like a pool. Our favorite though is the beach. It is almost completely surrounded by a patio with lounge chairs. There are wading pools near the beach bar which are relaxing and peaceful. Spending time at the beach and pool is amazing. I enjoyed practicing my Greek with them as they were patient and helpful. By our second day, the waitress already remembered our preferences. The views are also outstanding. The staff is very friendly and greeted us with a pleasant Kalimera each morning. In the morning the bountiful breakfast started our day with delicious fruits, pastries, breads, yogurts, cereals, and almost everything you can think of. Outside on our spacious deck the lounge chairs were relaxing and the table was a great spot to sip a glass of wine. The bed faced the windows and was very comfortable. The bathroom hosted an air jet tub and massage shower. The room showcased large windows so we could see the beautiful view at all times. Our room was very spacious and luxurious. In 2019 we stayed in a Junior Suite with a great view. There was also a pool which we enjoyed a swim in. The rooms were very spacious and we felt at home here. The luxury and comfort was second to none. We have know idea why we were upgraded but it was appreciated. The Grand Villa was so amazing. Much to our surprise and also gratitude, we were upgraded to a Peninsula Grand Villa unit. In 2021 we had booked a room in the Peninsula Collection Suites which we were really looking forward to. This trip we stayed in the Peninsula Collection Suites. This is a spectacular room, although we have loved each room we have stayed in. All in all, I think this is my favorite. The room is two stories with the bedroom and a large bathroom upstairs. The showcase is a nice sized balcony that overlooks Mirabella Bay. The main floor has a sitting room, another bathroom and sliders out to the patio and your own pool! An absolutely wonderful room. Our Room 2023 Peninsula Collection Suites The tapestries throughout the hotel really impressed me. I enjoy quilting and also embroidery and these are definitely masterpieces to me. My understanding is that these are all quite historic and depict true Crete handiwork. There were several of these framed and displayed in many areas. All in all, the lobby is the beginning of the amazing Cretan hospitality you will find at this resort! We also love each time we are here we think it is perfect and while here we find out there have been some great updates with the rooms, facility and restaurants making it even more perfect. The open spiral staircase is beautiful and a showcase of its own. The concierge is fantastic and is also a wealth of information. The staff is warm, friendly, and knowledgeable and the ambiance is that of elegant comfort. The Lobbyįirst impressions always mean a lot and the first impression of Elounda Peninsula Hotel is always a feeling of welcoming. I must shout out to the concierge as he was so very helpful. Since our Greek is quite rudimentary, he made phone calls for us and spent so much time trying to secure a ferry a day later. Once we found out that wasn’t possible, he called and was able to extend our car rental for another three days. Plus on top of this (we needed to move to a different but same type of room) he arranged for our belongings to be taken to the new room while we were out and about consequently, making transition seamless for us. We so appreciated this. He totally went above and beyond. Although the staff here consistently exceeded our expectations, this all really wowed us.
