Domes Aulus Elounda All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

We spent the most perfect romantic and relaxing week at this stunning resort. The whole experience from beginning to end was more than we could have expected. The Food was delicious with so much choice, I would add to avoid disappointment you need to be organised with your restaurant bookings. All of the Staff were so helpful and friendly. We had a particularly good experience with Christina and the team at the Island Restaurant which was always organised with such a wide variety and choice of amazing food. . The atmosphere was always relaxed with a Beautiful view of spinalonga Island. (Make the effort to go it’s worth it) We would also like to Mention Aliona and Olion from the blue bar for their delicious Cocktails friendly and chatty Demeanour and welcoming smiles. Attention to detail throughout was always on point and this was upheld by Giannis Kraniotakis and his hardworking team, he always had time for a chat and was always smiling an asset to this resort. We also loved to spend time relaxing at the beach where you can be served beverages and delicious snacks, taking in the views. We will be returning to this Beautiful Resort again to unwind and relax.

What can we say? Wonderful 5 night break at this delightful hotel. Even though this is the last week of the season, nothing is too much trouble for this wonderful staff team. Fabulous suite with amazing views, easy, laid back styling and entertainment offerings, and superb food at all of the restaurants. Special mention to Christina and all of the team at the Island buffet restaurant and the amazing chef and his team at the sushi meze restaurant. Thank you Vicky and all of your team...and definitely see you again next season!

Again we had an awesome holiday at our favourite destination. Our 9th visit i think It never fails to impress us the staff are very friendly and always keen to help no matter what your query is many of the staff have worked there for a number of years . The accommodation is first class and spotlessly clean thanks to the diligent housekeeper's . The food is excellent and serves traditional Greek cuisine as well as traditional European dishes. The beach is well cared for having toilets a catering unit serving hot and cold drinks freshly prepared food at lunchtime and wi-fi. Hopefully all being well we will be back next year.

We are just coming to the end of our week here and I wanted to write about how amazing the staff have been here at the hotel- especially Viki and all those working up at Cool Living. From the warm welcome we got at a very late arrival to the helpfulness with everything we needed. We had a slight issue with our room- not the fault of the hotel - but from the moment we reported it we have had nothing but the greatest of experiences. We have had the most gorgeous and restful holiday after 2 years of extreme stress. The weather has been glorious, so together will the really tasty food (no issues as other people have reported- all hot, varied and delicious), the chilled vibe of the Cool Living area and the views to die for, we will be leaving relaxed, refreshed and with the most stunning views imprinted in our memories that will carry us through winter. Thank you Domes Aulus ❤️

I want to start by saying this was the best holiday of my life! I never normally leave trip advisor reviews but feel that I have to share how wonderful my experience was here. My partner and I came to Domes Aulus Elounda in August for a week (non cool living). At first, we were unsure whether we should have booked cool living but we definitely didn’t need to! We had the pleasure of being upgraded to a shared private swim up pool room which was fantastic. The hotel left us food, wine and a lovely message along with rose petals to congratulate us on our anniversary in the room. This was a strong start. The main pool was lovely and had plenty of sun beds. As did the beach. Both bars were good but you have to go up, they don’t serve you from your beds. Don’t expect plastic or glass cups, but this didn’t bother me. The wind off the sea was lovely and refreshing - sometimes a bit much but that’s Crete for you! The À la cart restaurants were lovely but we only managed to get booked into one as they were fully booked which was a shame. The all inclusive buffet restaurant was great and the servers were amazing! My glass was never empty. I am veggie and the options were limited but I always found something tasty to eat. Nice fresh salads and various hot foods. The amphitheatre bar was amazing in the evenings and the drinks were strong and delicious. All of the staff were so happy to help and even gave us extra drinks to take back to our room. Some evenings had music entertainment but some were quieter with gentle background music. The hotel vibe is quiet and chilled which was perfect for us. We made some good friends and had drinks in our private pool with them one night but received a noise complaint for music even though we weren’t playing any. The guests didn’t seem to stay up late or want anyone else to - but the staff were happy for us to continue drinking in the pool as long as we didn’t start playing music. Elounda is a 5 minute taxi ride and has nice bars and boat trips to Spinalonga. We also did a luxury yacht sunset cruise which was booked via the concierge - this was stunning. On the whole, we felt extremely relaxed, well looked after and full of beautiful Greek wine. We’d come back to this hotel tomorrow if we could and still wouldn’t bother with the cool living part. One couple we met said they were cool living and it didn’t feel any more exclusive or better than the standard hotel which we were in. They even spent most of their time in the non cool living areas. It’s right at the top of the hill so you wouldn’t even know it was there. The views from every part of the hotel were incredible and the hotel itself is beautifully decorated with high quality finishings. I would recommend this hotel to everyone - you will not be disappointed! Thank you so much for making our stay so amazing. Matt and Chris

We have now visited Domes Aulus Elounda a total of 5 times over the last 10 years, and the hotel has gone from strength to strength. It is quite an expensive stay, but you do get a 5-star all inclusive experience, and the ONLY extra expenses are if you want the room minibar restocking and getting a massage in the Spa area. All other drinks (including table wines and bottled water) are cost included. The meals are mainly buffet-style, with good and varied choices, with some à la carte bookings available for traditional Greek, Italian and Asian cuisines. Our room this time was further up the hillside in the Cool Living area, and these newer rooms are very well appointed, with great bathroom facilities, super-comfortable bed mattresses, good lighting arrangements and more than adequate a/c). There are now 3 swimming pools, the better 2 of which are in the Cool Living area. The shuttle service to get people up & down to these rooms is frequent. The staff are exceptional, a special mention to the "regulars" Georgos P, Nikos K, Manolis M and Maria K, and many others besides. The surrounding area is beautiful, and we would recommend hiring a vehicle (a local bike rental we have used many times previously supplies us with a quad bike) to explore, although the hoteldoes have a private beach with its own bar which is part of the all inclusive system. All in all, an experience that will keep us coming back for more!
