The location is fabulous the hotel is clean and the surroundings mostly well kept apart from the rusty shipping containers and pile of old rafia umbrellas and odd bits of building materials

Good location for Elafonissi beach and Kedrodassos, ten minutes by car. Good restaurants were nearby. The apartement was new, modern and clean (especially bathroom). The terrace was quite big. As a wellcome there was water, biscuites and honey
Elafonisi is the most overrated beach in Crete.
Super crowded. The sand is not pink. It's a normal sand. The beach resorts are expensive, usually they are full and the chairs are attached. On top of that, you need to walk 20 minutes to reach the sea.

Breathtaking natural lagoon which everyone is coming to enjoy. Get here before the buses arrive at 10 am or come after 4pm when buses leave otherwise I think it is too crowded. Consider staying overnight at Lafo Rooms.

Elafonisi Beach, with its unique pink sand, is undeniably stunning. However, during the day it can become extremely crowded, making it challenging to find sunbeds. Nevertheless, as the day transitions into evening, the beach becomes quiet, serene, and free from crowds, allowing you to fully appreciate its true beauty, especially during the magical moments just before sunset.

What a ZOO!!!
What a ZOO!!! It’s mid October and the place is still super crowded. Cannot even begin to imagine the crowds in July or August.
Crowds aside… it is an amazing place… beautiful, clear water.. great for young families. One can find a bit of privacy across the water on the spot.

A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete...
A truly beautiful beach, the nicest I have visited in Crete so far. It is also a very valuable and protected natural site. The beach offers a very varied environment. There is classic seating on the shore under umbrellas and bars. Towards the sea you can enjoy the shallow beach and the sea waves. On the other side there is a quiet shallow lagoon with several islets and a sand spit connecting the coast with the island of Elafonisi. The lagoon is just a paddle away. If you go further, the other side of the island is again washed by the sea and there is also quite a nice snorkeling environment. Because of the size and ruggedness of the place, you can easily find a space for yourself. But there are a lot of people. There is little shade on the spot, so the more experienced ones will occupy the better spots first thing in the morning. It's good to have something to protect you from the sun. You have to go back to the beginning for drinks and toilets, so count on that. Plenty of space to park on site, just the last stretch is not a groomed road so watch your tyres.
The apartment complex is totally new, built with high grade materials. Watercooker and coffee/tea in room. Highgrade and fast internet. Private parking. Located on the road to Elafonisi beach. Just around is a mini market and some restaurants of good quality, partly with sunset/seaview. The owner can be called on arrival (phone number at entrance in big letters), and will be there within 5 minutes. Two of the best beaches of Kreta (Kedrodassos and Elafonisi) just 5 km away.
The location is excellent and the room is new, clean and roomy enough with refrigerator and outside area where one can dry towels and swimsuits. The bathroom is small and the shower next to the John gets everything wet. Remove tp towel etc before showering. If you are careful it works OK. If you aren't used to this type If spartan European bathroom you'll be unhappy. The restaurant is adequate but the one in the hotel up the hill 2 minutes is much better
Maria and Niko’s family run hotel is Greek hospitality at its best.
Great location close to the famous beaches - Elafonisi and Kedrodasos are amazing. Very nice atmosphere and friendly hosting. Whatever you prefer - enjoying the view from the terrace or lounging by the pool you will be satisfied
Highly recommend Glykeria because we really enjoyed it. Did I mentioned the delicious food… ?
Thank you Maria and Niko for treating us as friends :-)
It was a very nice apartment - although rather small with no real kitchenette, it was extremely clean, quite modern, with good shower, good beds. The small place was designed very efficiently. The apartment is close to Elafonisi beach and to a real natural treasure - a small bay that looks like almost a lake. It is also very close to a great monastery. The cleaning lady was the most hospitable and told us about everything we could do and see.
Big, very clean room. Comfortable bed. Good sized shower and bathroom- everything new. Very kind, attentive host. We booked room on the last moment, but even thought he was ready to greet us within few minutes. We received a lot of useful advices. Nice area- few minutes with a car to Elafonisi beach, but nearby there is also another calm small beach. Good restaurants around. Plus for providing good quality cosmetics and bottle of water.
This was a lovely villa in a peaceful location, great for 3 adults. The outside facilities were fantastic with a delightful swimming pool, comfortable loungers, hammocks and tables and chairs in the shade. It's in easy reach of the famous Elafonisi Beach but also other beaches, including the nearby White Lake beach which was beautiful and very quiet. The owner was very helpful, giving directions to the beaches.
Very convenient room 5-10 mimutes away from Elafonisi beach. The room was comfy and very clean and had everything we needed. Next to the hotel there was a supermarket where you could buy food and drinks. Two restaurants nearby offered very delicous meals.
If I were to come back to Elafonisi, I would definetely book this hotel again.
Lovely host, beautiful location, and the view is absolutely stunning. Perfect for a couple who appreciates being a little removed from the crowds. We love walking and felt this property was located within the perfect walking distance to and from Elafonissi beach each day.
Good location. Close to Elafonissi beach. Good for a family of 5 (2 adults/3 older teens). Nice that they provided fruit and water and cookies when we arrived. Parking available in front. You can’t see the sea from there but it’s a short drive to Elafonissi.
Great location, 5 min. by car to Elafonisi beach, great quiet airconditioning, comfy beds, modern bathroom, kind host. Beautiful view from the balcony. A fridge and coffee in the room. Easy check-in. We were very satisfied. :) Definitely recommend.
It was very clean and all newly renovated.. Check in at the Mini market was friendly and handy for buying a picnic for the beach. The location was good for walking to the beach and the parking was excellent . The price Mae it very attractive.
Superb location overlooking the beach. The apartment is comfortable with the facilities for a comfortable stay. The hosts are really nice, and help to make the stay enjoyable. We wish we had stayed longer!
The house is very cute, very new and nicely designed. Hosts are super friendly, we felt like visiting family!
Location is great is you are planning to visit Elafonisi beach by car.
Peaceful, great location, wonderful view of the mountains, only minutes away from the beach. Friendly cat named Irida who gives you company in the morning 😁
