Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection
6/10 Okay
"The Domes of Elounda was a beautiful property. The facilities including pools were beautiful. The reason I give it an ok is due primarily to service and maintenance considering the price. I expected 5 stars and got 4. The first night our electric went out. They fixed that that night but the hot tub did not work until the next day. The bar servers were incredibly slow. Other service was slow as well due to most of the servers being new. The cart drivers were great as well as reception."
"This hotel is truely exceptional. From the stunning beaches and pool to the incredible staff, to the banquet style breakfast which changes daily and has something for everyone, I would absolutely recommend it. We travelled with our 11 month old and were thrilled so see so many other families with young babies too, but you’d never know as the resort is super private and quiet - doesn’t feel family friendly at all, but totally is. Could be my favourite hotel ever. Highly recommend. "
"We loved our time at the IHG- Intercontinental Crete. It’s centrally located in Agios Nikolaos to great food and shops. The hotel has valet parking and it was very easy to get in and out quickly. The staff could not have been more pleasant. From the moment we arrived, they were very attentive and kind. The breakfast was phenomenal and included with out stay. This saved us time and money looking outside of the hotel for breakfast each day. The hotel restaurant and bar are great too. We spent each night having a delicious meal or drink at the hotel. The room was spacious and had everything to make our stay feel like home. We loved our time! 10/10"
"This is not Greece! As soon as we saw the hotel we left. Very commercialized, and nothing like Greece, if that’s what you want than you will love it but we were looking for something totally different."

8/10 Good
"Dora was amazing! She helped us plan some great day trips. More local traditional Greek food at the dinner buffet would have been appreciated. Our room was very damp and smelt musty. We only stayed for 3 nights but would have asked to be moved if staying longer. . "
