Creta Elena

We loved the spacious apartment, super helpful staff and general good vibes in Creta Elena. We had not one but three balconies in our two bed apartment. The housekeepers kept everything spotlessly clean. The pool was small but perfect for cooling off and always quiet. We’d love to return some day - would highly recommend!

Absolutely gorgeous, even prettier than the photos! Staff very welcoming and let us check in a bit early. Very relaxing, equivalent to a 4-5 star hotel. 100% recommend. There’s also a great supermarket next door and cafes and restaurants too, brilliant location. Sofa beds were made up lovely, with towels and slippers for everyone. Thanks so much!

I spent a week here in September 2022. My main reason for booking here was due to having a pool, the proximity to the old town/ harbour and the contemporary appearance. The premises itself is relatively small with only approximately 15 apartments providing a quiet and peaceful environment. Although the pool itself is quite small, it’s more than adequate to cool off and to swim. The lounge area surrounding provides a relaxed atmosphere and somewhere to eat/ drink which is provided from the hotel bar. My room was a very good size, modern vibe, recently refurbished bathroom, very comfortable memory foam bed and a small kitchenette. Whilst I didn’t really use this, it provided the basic equipment that would be needed. A free safe, wifi and AC were also present. The location of the hotel is next to a supermarket, chocolate/ health shop, cafe/ bakery, wine bar, bistro and crepe restaurant. Just a few moments away you can find a tabac, pharmacy and takeaways etc. The marina is a 15/20 minutes walk depending on your pace, but it’s very accessible and several stop points en route if needed. Elana would certainly be my choice destination should I return to Crete but I would certainly look to book a garden/ pool view to maximise my stay. The staff at the hotel were faultless, polite, helpful and professional throughout my stay. I’m addition, the domestic cleaning team never seemed to stop and kept the place spotless!!!

This was a great hotel for our stay! Close to restaurants and coffee shop grocery store and public transportation. Staff was amazing helpful with how to use the bus to get to the beach and down to the harbor and friendly and spoke good English!!Room was good size for 4 ppl and the pool was very nice.

Booked Creta Elena based on reviews and location and it was perfect. We had a one bed apartment with two balconies and loads of space, the air con was fantastic during a very hot 12 days, housekeeping daily was great, amenities in room good - kettle and coffee maker, fridge and ice box - we went self catering and plenty of room for what we needed. Supermarket next door is so convenient and a number of bars and restaurants in the vicinity but only 10/15 min walk to the harbour and old town - we got lots of steps in and enjoyed all of them. Pool clean and well maintained, staff friendly but we were left to ourselves, and lovely Leon the cat to fuss too - be warned if you want to give him a treat you must go to him as he does not like to move from his spot sleeping on balcony chairs in the shade. Happy memories of Creta Elena and we will be back ❤️
