10/10 Excellent

"Loved, Loved, Loved, the staff here was absolutely amazing and so helpful. We spent part of our honeymoon here and it was just what we needed. We paid for all inclusive and chose a room that gave us access to their exclusive pool and restaurant at the top of the resort. Was definitely worth it as the food and presentation was great. The resort itself was beautiful, only downside is that it is on a steep hill so travel around resort can be tricky as you have to call the front desk to arrange a buggy to pick you up. Beach access and spa is great. The resort also helped us plan activities to do. I can’t explain enough how beautiful the views are here. Don’t hesitate and just book!"

8/10 Good

"Plenty of helpful and friendly staff. The room was cleaned to a high standard and well stocked and organised. The hair dryer and steamer were high quality. The pool area is beautifully decorated. Loungers are limited and fully taken by 1130. The DJ and saxophone artists were excellent. Breakfast buffet has good selection and was fresh and good quality. Coffee machine rather than espresso machine with barista but acceptable. The Al a carte restaurant was disappointing. The service was fine but the food was very basic and Salty."

Elounda Breeze Resort - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Generally a positive review especially the staff who were excellent. Family friendly with food surprisingly good for an all inclusive, a notch down from restaurant quality but good value for the overall price. Facilities otherwise excellent which are clearly geared for children with the exception of the ‘quiet pool’ (one of four pools). Negatives as follows: Bar area poor, no adult vibe whatsoever with simple tables and hard chairs located next to the children’s play area which tends to be noisy with kids running around unattended. Poor shower water pressure in otherwise well appointed rooms. Location of resort is isolated, long walk to Elounda (40mins) not suitable for those with mobility issues. Taxis are expensive, 14 Euros each way (max 4 persons) without an expected tip. Buses run from town square to the nearest stop (Shell garage) with a long walk (10 - 15mins) along an inclined road. Finally the resort is situated on a steep hill, the restaurant being at the top which is quite a trek for some if your unlucky enough not to hail one of the two complimentary golf carts which are sometimes available. All things considered I would go again if children were included in the party."
