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.
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.
My favourite place in Crete. It is in a great position, only 15 minutes by car from Elafonisi. There is a parking and you can reach a beautiful beach with a 5 minutes walk. Close to the hotel there are a couple of good restaurants. We had the room with the little balcony, with a lovely view on the sea. In the evening and night there is complete silence around. The room is big, clean and recently renovated. The host is very kind. 100% recommended
It was lovely. Elafonisi is pretty much a long road with no villages and a few hotels on the way. Glykeria was a short drive from the beach. It's comfy, the pool is great and the staff super nice. The food at the restaurant is also good.
I'd recommend to go to the cedar beach, a bit less busy than elafonisi but absolutely marvelous if you can get a spot under a tree (go early or late).
Everything was perfect considering our requests! Spend one night in a comfortable and inexpensive room close to Elafonisi beach. We have pleased that there is free parking, the room had a fridge, kettle, coffee and even some dining appliances. There is also a hairdryer and shower accessories. Everything what you need after spending all day on the beach. 😁
Beautiful place in a beautiful location. Loved the clean and comfortable rooms with sea views. Added bonus of the pool with sea view and restaurant. Maria welcomed us so warmly and gave us wonderful recommendations. she also gave us beach towels and umbrella for our outings. I’d love to come back with family and friends and stay much longer.
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.
We absolutely loved this place! The bed was so comfy we didnt want to leave it, but Elafonisi beach was so close, that going there was easy and super fast. Taverns serwing very good food are just 2 minutes on foot from Smaroula.
The owner was so nice and helpful, we’re very glad we choose that hotel to stay.
The owner of the apartment is very nice and helpful. The apartment is very clean and the view of the sunset from the balcony is amazing. It is about a 5 mins drive to elafonisi beach. Also close to a few restaurants and a mini market. I will definitely come back again.
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.
Everything was amazing. There is no view from the apartment but it`s super close to the Elafonisi beach. You will walk back and forth. There is also options of restaurants and a market close by. The place is super cute and very new. I recommend 100%.
I have already stayed at Elafonisi Beach resort several times because I know the accomodation is to a very high standard. The family and staff are very helpful and do all they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
Perfect size and location. Very kind, considerate, and helpful owner. On site with a small shop with anything you might need for a day at the Beach and more, a few restaurants nearby, more within a 5 minute drive.
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.
Super clean, quiet, modern, and comfy room. Excellent restaurant. 5 min drive to beach or 10 min walk. Paradise. Most people day trip to elafonsisi beach….
The house was amazing, spacious, very clean, equipped with everything needed. It is located very close to Elafonisi beach, very close to the market as well.
