Elounda Orama Boutique Hotel

The hotel is well placed for everything that Elounda has to offer. Across the road and down the steps gets you to the seafront which has many restaurants and coffee shops. On arrival, the hotel looks appealing and all the staff were friendly and efficient. However, the bar that opens onto the street was never open, which is a shame. We had a sea view room above the main entrance, which was okay but certainly not 4 star. One wardrobe door was missing and it felt a little like style over substance. The shower and toilet were in two glass cubicles, neither of which were big enough and there was a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor with a cover that kept coming off. A nice touch were the toiletries. Breakfast was very disappointing. We have better Greek yogurt here in the UK and the fruit choice was so poor we bought our own from the supermarket. Hot choices were just about adequate and the juice was coloured water! The hotel is built into the hillside so lots of steps, but we knew this when we booked. However, signage around the hotel is very poor. We had to ask a cleaner where the pool was, from reception it's 3 different lifts or copious steps. Would we stay here again?, no. There are nicer hotels around which are actually 4 star, which this one certainly isn't.

We have just come back from a lovely stay at the Elounda Orama, we had sea view room in the third block and the view was incredible! Everyone was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay (special thank you to Stavros, Sophia and Costas!). The room was lovely, tidy and cleaned daily. The breakfast and pool bar were also great and the pool bar do a lovely Pina Colada! Only minor complaint would be that there was no wifi throughout our stay due to a fault, they were waiting for a new router which we understand was out of their control, but was a bit costly for us to use our phone data. Otherwise a great stay and would definitely come back!

From the moment we arrived , we were greeted by the lovely Kostas . A warm , friendly welcome. He took us to our room that had a lovely spacious balcony with a view of Elounda bay . This hotel has wonderful staff including the amazing, very hardworking Sophia who seems to be everywhere . The Standard rooms are clean , however they are needing an upgrade . The Superior rooms have been done and are beautiful . Nothing can beat the location of this hotel, across the road , down the steps and on to the most beautiful bay .
