The location is close to the lagoon actually is just across the place and a few minutes drive to the pink beach and its not crowded which is nice to walk around. The owner is so helpful and friendly that he attended all of our requests. He have suggested as well where to go and what to do around the area. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you! =)

The beach is beautiful but has been ruined by sunbeds and amenities. It is no longer remote and private. It is over run with tourists. The accommodation was quiet as only one other place to stay at this beach. The pictures look nicer than the actual space inside. However, the outside is pleasant and quiet. The beach was much nicer early mornings and late afternoon as the hoards of tourists had left.
Featuring an a la carte restaurant, Elafonisi Resort by Kalomirakis Family is set amidst a garden with olive trees.

The hotel is very nice, good installations and all you need. What really really stood out was the treatment by the personell; Thanisios una Harris in reception were super friendly and helpfull; Kostas in the evening and Isabelle for brealfast in the restaurant gave us a 5 star service. They were the ones that served us but the whole restaurant crew was very fortxoming. Kostas was especially nice, giving us recommendations and tips about what to do in the region. Efharistó Kostas! Also: the feta in fylos was the best we have eaten so far in all of Greece. Hope to come back, thanks a lot!

The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was quite equipped which allowed us to have light dinner and breakfast inhouse. The A/C was working great. The communication with the owner of the facility was excellent, he is very kind and helpful and he gave us nice tips to explore the area near Elafonnisi.
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.
I would consider this property as a hidden gem. The 1st impression looking the exterior may not be very good, but our apartment was perfect, well equipped(incl. Also a nespresso machine) and clean. The bathroom spacious and recently renovated. The sunset view from the balcony was amazing. Pretry convenient location for Elafonisi beach and Kedrodasos. Although the area seems a bit isolated, there are few nice restos. Good Vfm.
The apartment is super clean and has all the facilities and equipment. It feels like home. We have booked a room with big terrace. The view of Monastery with sunset was amazing. The host couple is super nice and friendly. The location is also very great, 9min drive to the Elafonisi beach and serval restaurants and supermarkets nearby. We would definitely stay here again if we come back.
We had a lovely time at family run Glykeria Hotel... from the moment we checked in to leaving. The restaurant had a very good menu and was perfect to watch the sun set. The hospitality was exceptional, and Maria and Nikos gave us great advice on sightseeing nearby. You could feel the genuine care. One not to be missed!! Thankyou for making our stay so memorable.

The Apartment was very clean, spacious and modern. The host welcomed us with a homemade dessert and nice amenities inside the room. The attention to detail and the genuine hospitality was exceptional. There is not much around in this area but we felt that the location was perfect close to Elafonisi beach. Thank you for a great stay.
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.
Couldn’t have found a better place to stay close to the marvel that is Elafonisi. The house had all the comforts and we were treated like v. i.p.’s (Crete has the nicest people!)
Do not miss this incredible place. And go explore the wonders all around gorgeous Elafonisi
The room was very comfortable, clean, and had everything that we needed. The location is superb, very close to the beautiful beach of Elafonisi and the restaurants of the Vila. The hostess was really nice and super friendly.
Everything was perfect : the room is luxurious, the bed so comfortable, the restaurant is good and the waiters really nice
The hôtel is just at Elafonissi beach so perfect location
Location is awesome, you can be at the beach before anyone else so that is great! There are 3-4 restaurants and one of them is right next to the rooms, so it's very convenient.
The beach is really near from the hotel. Bedroom are simple but it’s ok for one night.
