Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only

Aquila Elounda Village Resort, Suites & Spa - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel with a main buffet restaurant and 3 other bookable a la carte restaurants, plus a snack/cocktail bar over looking the sea. Staff were very helpful & attentive, also asking if we wanted drinks by the pool each day. Our room was very comfortable, had a great sea view & was a good size with loads of hot water for showers. Hotel is not really walkable to Elounda however, in the heat, but you can take the hotel minibus, although this only runs once a day at 9.30am & returns at 2.30pm. Was not keen on using QR codes/hotel app to book restaurants/minibus, as sometimes you want to unplug from technology whilst on holiday. Paper copy restaurant menus were available however if you ask. All in all had a great stay with some fab food particularly in the Mirabelle restaurant overlooking the sea. Movie night was also appreciated complete with pop corn. Another nice touch was the snack provided as we arrived late in the evening, with a choice of homemade soup & sandwiches. Would definitely recommend this hotel."
