Elounda Akti Olous Hotel
Elounda, Crete

Mr D Chaplin, Swindon

Nice hotel with welcoming and friendly staff. Only reservations were that our room was very small and dark with a poor view. We could not use our terrace as it was awash with water from the air conditioning units most of the time. It had also not been modernised in keeping with the rest of the rooms. Only other issue was the size of the pool which was too small for a hotel of 70 odd rooms. There was only room for 8 or 9 sun beds.

This hotel has undergone a comprehensive upgrade over last winter, the rooms are bright and airy, the bathrooms have been renewed and have a much better layout. I cant find much to fault at the hotel which is clearly punching above it's 3 star rating and is going to have further improvement next year which will improve it even more. Finally the staff are wonderful, from the cleaners right through to the managers, all very welcoming and helpful.

Mrs C Shepherd, Wednesbury

Very clean, helpful staff, room cleaned every day, beautiful location.

Miss P Bleasdale , Liverpool

Lovely clean, relaxed, enjoyable stay.

Mrs G Mackie, Poulton-le-fylde

Mr J Percy, Bristol

Very clean hotel, all appliances in good working order, rooms cleaned daily, all staff very helpful and friendly, particularly receptionists Yiannis and Soula. Self service breakfast good, both in volume and quality. Dining area includes a choice of inside or outside, with an awesome view from the tables on a covered jetty stretching into sea - always a wonderful start to the day - paradise!

Mr G Russ, Cardiff

Small but perfectly placed for all occasions.

Mr N Vardy, Mansfeild

Room cleaned daily. Sheets and towels changed every 2nd day. Rooftop pool and bar very modern with nice views over Elounda Bay. Excellent breakfast buffet, full English or continental. Evening meal average, needed to be a little hotter. All staff friendly, the night receptionist Yiannis is an amazing man, his English is excellent. He is married to a Geordie lady, he will tell you anything you want to know. Location very good on waterfront, very picture picturesque. 5 mins walk to waterfront, restaurants a further 5 mins to central square. We loved it that much we will be returning in the very near future.

Mr P Taylor, Sutton-in-ashfield

Pleasant hotel and friendly staff. Hot food needs to be addressed at meal times as this was always only warm and sometimes cold.

Mrs H Clews, Stoke-on-trent

We had a lovely week at the Akti Olous, couldn't fault it. We stayed bed and breakfast, our room had a partial sea view and mountain view. The room was a good size, and cleaned every day. Staff were friendly and helpful. it was lovely every morning to sit out on the jetty with breakfast and watch the fish in the crystal clear water. Would happily return here again.

Miss R Harvey, Broadstairs

Staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Only stayed Bed and breakfast so can only comment on the breakfast - which was good, plenty of choice - cereals, fruit, yoghurt, meats, cheeses, pastries, eat as much as you wanted including cooked breakfast. Accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable - fairly basic - room had fridge and kettle but need to supply own tea and coffee etc. Sky bar and roof top pool pool were great - views are amazing and the other guests were lovely. It was very central, a great base for exploring Elounda.

Miss L Ventham , Eastbourne

Cleanliness was what stood out! Sun loungers could do with fixing on roof pool - but rooms nice and breakfast great. Wasn't a big fan of dinner in the evening but probably personal choice. Staff friendly - sky bar could be friendlier and have more things on. Def a couples hotel and all guests are just so nice.

Mr B Davies, Welwyn Garden City

This was our fourth stay at Akti Olous. Great service from a friendly family and their staff. Thank you Banker, Ellie, Monica, Ivan, Soula and Yannis. Sorry I forget the name of the other lady at reception. Hope we can make it back next year.

Mrs B Bearder, Northampton

Really good value for money. A very well kept family owned hotel. Staff are excellent and care about their hotel. Food is very good. Very near to all amenities and a great choice of tavernas, although food at the hotel's Blue Sea restaurant is fab and you don't need to move far.

Mrs E Robertson, Glasgow

Have been to this hotel many times! This time our room had new flat screen tv and a kettle/mugs etc and new sun loungers upstairs at the pool area. Staff always friendly and helpful and our room was cleaned everyday, cannot wait to go back!

Mr D Sizer, Hatfield

Location of the hotel was great, breakfast was good especially being able to eat in the restaurant by the sea. Unfortunately the beds were uncomfortable being very hard. We requested a double but got two singles pushed together that were of different heights and kept sliding apart; funny to start with but the joke soon wore off oh and the pillows were rather rock like leading to us both having neck ache. We also had to pay for the air-conditioning and had the worse view from the balcony in the whole hotel. The upside was that we didn't need to spend much time in our room.

Mrs A Perkins, Blackburn

We have stayed at the Akti Olous many times and each time we are pleasantly surprised at how the staff strive to make your stay even better each time. The standard of breakfast and cleanliness is excellent value for money, I have recommended the Akti Olous to other holidaymakers and feedback has always been good.

Mrs R Arnold, Telford

A very clean beautifully decorated and well run hotel with its own small beach, in a superb location. Ideal to relax in. Breakfast, a mix of Continental and full British was adequate on an all you can eat basis, although an extra coffee machine would be an improvement. Plenty of great restaurants nearby and the hotel itself has a superb Sky bar for relaxing in.

Although there is a small charge for the air con and safe they were well worth it but you do get a fridge in the room and a kettle which are both free. Air con was very efficient and needed for the hot nights.

Mr M Allwood, Bolton

Lovely room, great view, fantastic breakfast. Booking again for next year, what more can I say.
