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.

Lovely hotel although quite dated.

Lovely hotel with very nice staff. The beach is a short walk away so this keeps you nice and fit!
We had lovely food and the chef was excellent. The animation team did a very good job.
The hotel is tired and would benefit from a revamp but otherwise we had a lovely time.

Nice private beach, dated rooms, needs money spent

We booked the Eloúnda breeze, based on photos on Expedia and the several reviews on here that appeared to be realistic taking into consideration the price. Lobby is lovely and updated, and you can see they have done such upgrades when you consider down the road the Eloúnda mare and the Eloúnda beach hotels which are both 5 star mega hotels that we had a chance to walk round both and we wish we had spent more and stayed there!

Food was very edible we were all inclusive and enjoyed the buffets, the al la carte was just awful, this is something you can only book once a trip and would advise not even bothering.

We read that there was some old and new rooms, we got the old of course being a double with a balcony, bathroom was too small the door hits the toilet when going in there, the grid in the middle of the floor stinks and it is impossible to not be swimming in a lake as the shower curtain does not function.

Best bit of the hotel in our opinion was the private beach which is a 5-10 min walk away, with its own bar and lovely surrounding sea which is great for snorkelling we saw loads of different fish and even an octopus in the wild. The only down side to this however is the childish behaviour of people reserving sun beds with towels and stones who then decide to go to lunch leaving said items, this did not stop us as I burn easily and had my fair share of sun and need shade.

Hotel all in all is not terrible but needs to improve in lots of areas.

Not all inclusive had to pay for safe deposit, beach towels changed after 3 days. Double bed was 2 single beds joined together. Had to even pay for water. Drinks that were all inclusive was what was on there list. Had to pay for alcohol drinks after 11pm. This is not all inclusive hotel.

Staff was great and I enjoyed the pool. We did pay for sea view but we got a first floor with view of trees. We were given the option to have a sea view on 2nd floor but the rooms on 1st floor was nicer. Rooms and Sea side need some help, overall nice, but they really do need to organize and get new chairs on their beach. Staff was amazing, and so was the food.

Very good pictures but the truth is not the same

We booked the hotel through expedia .Unfortunately our reservation was not refundable so we had to stay there. Although it is characterized as having a beach in 200 meter and you suppose it is so the truth is the beach is not so close. When you arrive at the beachh it is small and it is not a beach it is more of a dock from where you can dive. They have constructed a small sea water lake where children can swim other than that it is disappointing in Greece to book a hotel with such a so called beach. When we arrived my wife almost got caught by the elevators door because the movement sensor was not working. Although we informed the staff about 7 days later it was not fixed. The room was small ,the bathtub could fit only one medium sized person standing and the water was deciding by itself when it would be warm or cold. The roof of the room was not made of concrete but it had a second sealing made by aluminum lanes. Later we discovered that above those aluminum lanes the roof was open somewhere because during the day and night the wind would make the aluminum pieces bouncing or creaking or making hell lot of noise. The tv was bought back in the 90s or it looked like so and the air condition had to plastic forks to keep the air swing in place. Other than that thhe view from the small balcony was great but it had no tent so you could seat there only when the sun was down. Again i would like to point out that this hotel is supposed to be a 5 star hotel. The food was ok.

Shortage of staff - buffet v disappointing - pool cold and no hand rails with dangerous exposed areas surrounding - food around the pool dreadful ,cold and lack of choice - room adequate but v limited accessories - décor dull,dark and tired- furnishing need updating - generally not a place to return to and not a good example for this group of hotels.No free wifi,pool bar closes at 4.0pm and pool at 5.0pm,totally unacceptable - the whole experience will not be repeated for us

Very helpful staff and happy to sort trips and taxis, dining room good range of local and international food but this did not vary much from day to day. We choose not to go all inclusive but it was easy to order a meal in the evening if needed and this was good value for money.
Within walking distance of the village with some great restaurants and good fish dishes served.

Peaceful and relaxing hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Elounda Aqua Sol. Our upstairs bungalow (!) room had a great sea view. The rooms are surrounded by gardens: very peaceful and pretty.The hotel has two beautiful swimming pools with plenty of umbrellas and sunbeds. There is also a small man-made beach a short distance away with an enclosed pool as well as access to deeper water for snorkelling, which we greatly enjoyed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was generally good, with great salads, breakfasts and desserts, but the hot main courses weren't very exciting. The dining room was a bit cramped, but the outside dining area had a fantastic view. Good value and a great holiday!

CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE

Booked to stay here for a few days (with friends who live on Crete) some time in advance at \"no cancellation\" rates, so got a good deal. What you would expect from this type of accommodation - clean and modern but not luxurious. Most rooms in 2 storey blocks and we ended up with a ground floor room with no views despite \"mountain views\" being shown on the booking, but hey. Only real drawback was its location - about a 20-30 mins walk out of Elounda centre along a narrow road for some of the way, some of which is dark on the way back late evening, but there are regular taxis going along to and from the 5 star hotel opposite. Elounda is a good base for the Eastern end of Crete, and has a good choice of tavernas etc..Booked B&B and breakfast was OK too, pretty standard fayre of hot and cold choices. Whole place was not very busy despite being early July, but perhaps symptomatic of current economic problems with fewer travellers.

Elounda June 2012

We stayed in Room 244 which has exceptional views over the bay. We used the hotel as a base for touring the eastern end of Crete and the hotel served us well.

The hotel seems to concentrate on visiting parties of French & Germans who stay for three nights and are bussed out during the day. This means that the restaurant can be quite crowded in the morning and evening, while the pools are quiet during the day. There were few British, so there was not much social life in the evenings.

The food is buffet-style, good quality, and replenished frequently.

The animation team manage to get activities going in the daytime, but they do not have the talent to entertain in the evenings.

Elounda is a delightful little town, and there are spectacular views across the bay and from the roads in the mountains around.

All inclusive con camere spaziose, avevamo annche preso la camera con piscina ad uso esclusivo ed era bellisima.
Unica pecca forse il bagno che nonostante fosse grande aveva la doccia con una sola parete il vetro che riparava poco dagli schizzi che finivano per allagare il bagno.
Inoltre gli asciugamani per la doccia erano molto piccoli (sarebbe stato meglio un accappatoio) e il bagno era privo di agganci per appenderli
Il personale era disponibilissimo e gentile e nulla da dire sulla pulizia. I pasti erano a buffet e mentre la colazione era ricca e soddisfacente, la cena invece un po meno.

hôtel crasseux, pas entretenu du tout.Les serviettes ne sont pas changées. La salle de bains encrassée. Le directeur a dû venir changer le bouchon de la baignoire. Il était noir de crasse. Une seule femme de ménage pour laver les locaux. Pas de papier toilette dans les wc de la piscine à 11h30 le matin. La terrasse du bar ; les chaises sont abimées, les tables branlantes et les fauteuils crasseux. La salle de restaurant: les chaises craquées et sales. Le sol anti-dérapant gondolé; risque de chute. Les chambres vétustes, ne correspondent pas au descriptif que nous vendent les agences de voyages. Voyages-SNCF entre autres... Et le personnel n'est pas payé depuis le moi de mai. C'est honteux. Scandaleux. Nous lançons un appel pour que l'on paye ces gens pour le service qu'ils nous rendent

Le concept du \"all inclusive\", surprise totale qui n'était pas précisée à la réservation (d'ailleurs, il y a là un petit travail à effectuer au niveau de Hotels.com), était un plus: on a pu profiter de toutes les installations (plage, piscine), et tout cela sans compter.
La chambre était correcte, les sanitaires pas trop.

Steiniger Zugang zum Wasser, Hotel und Pools gut

Der Anteil an russischen Touristen ist sehr hoch Mitte Juli. Viele Touristen haben sich geweigert, sich \"ordentlich\" zum Essen anzuziehen und das schmälerte das Ambiente. Das Hotelgelände ist in einem guten Zustand; außerhalb - der Wasserzugang (das ist kein Strand) ist teilweise gefährlich und schlecht bis gar nicht renoviert. Man muss sich Wasserschuhe einpacken. Elounda selbst ist 3-4 km vom Hotel entfernt. Man braucht einen Mietwagen, wenn man etwas von der Umgebung sehen möchte. Die Hotelausstattung ist in Ordnung, die Zimmer sind sauber und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Am Pool zu liegen war herrlich. Der Kinderspielplatz ist in einem schlechten Zustand, viele Sachen sehr veraltet und er liegt mitten in der Sonne. Die Animation gab Aqua Gym und manchmal Yoga; am Nachmittag fand auch mal Wasserball statt.

OK beläget

Maten var urdålig, var absolut inte värd pengarna. Hotellrummen var helt ok med tanke på att man endast ska sova där. Inget wifi utan det fick man betala 2 euros för och det fungerade enbart i receptionen. Sunkig standard på hotellet som nog renoverades sist någon gång på 70 talet och många i personalen var nog inte helt nöjda med att behöva ge service.. Hitta ett annat hotell i Elounda är rekommendationen!

per chi vuole rilassarsi

L'hotel è frequantato, per il 95%, da turisti francesi; il personale parla solo francese e inglese e, tanto per cambiare, la lingua italiana passa in subordine; in ogni caso ciò non è stato un problema visto che utilizzavo l'hotel solo come punto per pernottare e mangiare alla sera, uscendo presto e rincasando all'ora di cena.
A livello logistico non è comodissimo, dato che ci vogliono circa trenta minuti di camminata per arrivare alla cittadina di Elounda e alla relativa spiaggia.
Si mangia abbastanza bene; colazione ben fornita e per tutti i gusti, lo stesso dicasi di pranzo e cena con diverse portate e contorni.

Bonne infrastructure pour tous

Grand hôtel situé dans une région sans grand caractère, l'Aqua Sol a toutefois presque tout ce qu'il faut sur place. Pour le reste, il vous faudra une voiture. La chambre est lumineuse et bien équipée mais notre salle de bain était vraiment petite et pas pratique. L'animation sur place est ce qui se fait d'habitude dans les grands \"resorts\" (qu'on aime ou pas). Même au printemps vous trouverez une piscine couverte pour nager. Dommage toutefois qu'en cette saison la charmante \"taverne\" ne soit pas ouverte. La nourriture est bonne mais si vous ne prenez pas le all inclusive, gardez un oeil sur les frais de boisson. Enfin, point commun aux hôtels crétois: la literie est vraiment trop dure!
