Elafonissi Adventure Vacations

Incredible stay and an amazing hotel. Prime location, right next to old city, all the shopping and main streets. Rooms are wonderful and spacious and the staff was great!

Fabulous resort and staff! We really enjoyed our stay. The spa was amazing—-Chris is a terrific therapist! Everyone was great…Kiki was a stand out and helped us tremendously. Definitely recommend!!

The room was super clean and the staff were always helpful and joyous. The location is great with a beach on the other side of the road and a short car trip to Old Town. Food was surprisingly good, we chose to eat there a couple of nights.

So friendly and welcoming. Staff were very helpful. Plenty of space to relax. Great sports facilities.

Wow—what a fabulous week! A stay at Aulus leaves you feeling calm, rested, and completely relaxed. The rooms are beautiful, and the grounds are stunning, with breathtaking views—especially at sunset. While the setting itself is exceptional, it is the people who truly make this hotel stand out. We did experience a few teething issues with our original room (202), which lacked privacy and was overlooked by the evening bar. However, this was quickly and professionally resolved by Mimis and Demetri, who handled our disappointment with genuine care and arranged for us to be relocated. A special mention must go to Tom at the pool bar, whose warmth, energy, and infectious enthusiasm brightened every day. Eva in the Island Restaurant provided wonderful service throughout our stay, and Vanjo crafted some truly fantastic cocktails at the evening bar. The kindness, professionalism, and respect shown by every member of the team made a lasting impression. From our arrival to our departure, the team consistently took the time to greet us, ask how we were enjoying our stay, and ensure everything was to our satisfaction. Their commitment to hospitality genuinely enhanced our enjoyment of the resort. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Mara, who was there to wish us a safe flight home and warmly invite us back for another visit. Aulus is a beautiful resort, but it is the people who make it unforgettable.

Overall is good place to stay

Loved the pool. The villa was really clean and bright. You do need to check into the actual hotel (which this is not, this is the villas), which is like 5-10 mins away by car, and I'll say this now that the hotel does have a restaurant. It was nice that when requested, they quickly delivered an iron and ironing board since it wasn't already inside our villa. The whole property was really clean and well maintained. The view from our villa was nice. The villa does have a steam shower which was nice. It had two bathrooms, one with the bedroom and one downstairs. It had its own dedicated parking spot for our rental car, dishware for cooking, a washer (no dryer), microwave, and a nice refrigerator/freezer. Couple of minor gripes and preferences were that the furniture was really basic and hard plastic so the seating was not comfortable. The wifi was pretty fast (broadband) but extremely high latency (ping) (700+ ms) for those who care about things like that. One of the gripes we had was that there is allegedly "room service" as they leave you food/drink/wine menus in your room and the phone has a room service button, yet if you want to order food, they will make it in their restaurant located at their hotel as previously mentioned and they do not deliver it... so it makes it pointless room service. Overall it was a nice villa, it was pretty quiet, and not too far away from old town Chania (10-15mins).

The hotel and staff were fantastic. We got to eat our breakfast every morning on our balcony looking into the bay around Chania. We liked the location and did not mind making use of the local taxis to spend time in the town where there were plenty of excellent restaurants. The staff were first rate and we wanted for nothing. Would recommend anyone to visit this hotel and Chania.
