This all-suite and villa beach resort; Domes of Elounda, Autograph collection, offers everything on the average, sophisticated parent's wish list. It offers stylish interiors, stunning views, a luxury spa, well respected dining and an exceptionally family-friendly approach. The well-run creche and kids club, teen games room, handy baby supply of baby gear and a choice of baby-sitting or in-room dining help have all been designed to ensure parents have a truly relaxing and enjoyable family holiday.
As you'd expect, this level of attention to detail and five-star facilities rarely comes cheap but thankfully there's a range of accommodation options to suite various budgets from spacious suites to luxury villas with private pools.
Whichever type of accommodation is chosen, all feel exceptionally luxurious with Coco-mat mattresses, pillow menus, sophisticated toiletries, luxury bathrooms and private hot tubs or pools as standard. Each suite also benefits from individually designed interiors with a cool, contemporary finish. The villas and residences come with self-catering facilities (particularly handy for parents!) and private swimming pools (can be fenced on request).
The hotel's staff are exceptionally warm and friendly. They can frequently be seen zipping along in golf buggies, otherwise known as ‘club cars’, transporting guests the short but sometimes steep distance from their suites/villas to the hotel's stretch of sandy beach, pools and restaurants. The British run creche and kids club is well equipped, carefully maintained, and well-staffed by trained carers who fast become favourites with mini guests. This allows parents some guilt-free time to lounge on a cushioned sunbed by the sea, read a book, indulge in a romantic dinner or a couples massage. A rare treat for parents with tots in tow!

The Domes of Elounda has a scenic but convenient location a short walk from the cluster of tavernas, shops and bars in the traditional fishing village of Elounda, and within a short drive (5-10mins) of the larger town of Aghia Nikoloas and the nearby "Aqua Splash" waterpark. The mysterious, uninhabited island of Spingalonga, the subject of the recent Victoria Hislop bestseller 'The Island', is just across the bay and boat trips depart regularly from the hotel's pier.
Other sites of interest within an hour's drive include the magnificent ruins of the Minoan city and palace of Knossos, which are breathtakingly well preserved and considered to be the second most important historic site in Greece, after the Parthenon in Athens.

"We loved it actually - fab villa, really excellent with everything you need and very chic, fabulous view etc, Staff great and hotel a great size - not too big. The only let down was the food - an occupational hazard in Greece! It wasn't bad at all but just not amazing, though breakfast was fine and, at the beach restaurant, we had some great fresh grilled fish. We had a blast!" TV's Tess Daly & Vernon Kay who stayed at Domes of Elounda's Villa Aptera with their two daughters in 2012Review dated 03/06/2013
Hello from sunny Domes of Elounda! Just arrived yesterday and just wanted to say THANKS for suggesting this great place on your website! It lives up to all the promises and more. We are boutique hotel junkies and with a toddler in tow definitely wanted an ideal relaxing but fun place for our small family - without compromising on style and amenities! Not an easy task. September is great, it's active but relaxing-quiet too, not imposing and the many many smiles are sooooo welcome!! The breakfast was a feast for the eyes and palate. Thank you thank you and also happy to report they upgraded us without asking to a bigger room! Also a great credit to the wonderful staff who also arranged a doctor late last night to come this morning for our feverish child. I feel I can let go and just BE on this holiday which is EXACTLY what we needed and longed for. sunny greetingsReview dated 13/09/2012
