Domes Aulus Elounda, All-Inclusive Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton - Adults Only

Lovely property with private beach!

We had a good time. I would recommend getting the ‘cool living’ package as it is on par with a 5* hotel, but if you don’t have that package I think it would feel closer to a 4*. The beach was really good!

Stunningly beautiful property. However, I was not impressed by the inability to get a reservation at the restaurants, which made us eat at the buffet all except for one night. Was also upset by the cleanliness of the main pool. It turned my white swimsuit green and ruined it. Not worth the price in my opinion

Situated in a quiet part of Elounda, the hotel offers stunning views across the bay. We had a very relaxing stay. Here’s the pros and cons. Pro’s: 1. A small but pleasant shingle beach. Comfortable padded sun beds readily available. Very few guests reserve sunbeds, which is a nice stress-free experience. 2. There is a nice little bar on the beach, open from around 10/10:15am, serving coffee, cocktails and various alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There is also a large chiller cabinet where you can grab water, beer and soft drinks as often as you like. 3. There are grab and go lunch boxes available on the beach from 12 noon - salads and sandwiches. 4. All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. 5. Rooms are clean and cool. 6. The bar in the amphitheatre area is a lovely place to have sundowners. Try the Hugo cocktail! Cons: 1. The swimming pool area is tired and the sunbeds were a bit dirty. There is paint peeling off the swimming pool floor. The pool is painted a very dark colour, making it very uninviting. 2. The dining options are not great. Breakfast is fine, with plenty of options. The buffet dinner, however, is not of a good enough standard for the resort. The Ampitheatre offered some nice Italian options, but the Greek souvlaki options were really disappointing (you can book this restaurant twice per week), and the Sushi was good at the Yellow Sea restaurant - but no starters were offered, and dessert was just one option.

We stayed here for a week. We were a family of 4. My main criticsm was that the hotel was on steep slope. We were first in rooms 511/512. We always had to call reception for a golf buggy/ car to take us to the main hotel and back. was ok at first but got tiring so we requested a change of rooms and got 211/212. I did try walking back to our room on 5th floor one day and my legs were on fire!! Most people wore trainers and only the brave wore heels! Our shower was a bit disappointing because it was not enclosed. It had a 3 foot fixed screen so water everywhere and the shower head you had to hold because the bracket was hip height. So you couldn't have a long shower. The rooms were a high standard though. We enjoyed the food even though others have said negative. The restaurants you had to prebook so do this asap when you check in because the food is excellent. The toaster is very very slow. The T bags were very weak so take Yorkshire Tea bags if your from UK. Get to the island restaurant when it opens for lunch/dinner early because some of the food does dry out under the heat lamps. The greek deserts were delicious! The beach was a let down because it wasn't a sandy beach. When you walk into the water, there were smalls rocks and pebbles so wear beach shoes or teva style sandals. They had good cocktails in the beach bar but only cold cheese rolls and other snacks from the fridge. Would have loved a toasted sandwich or chips or something hot. Overall 8/10.

An incredible location with amazing food, staff and amenities. My husband and I came for our honeymoon and will definitely be back. What truly makes Domes Aulus stand out is their incredible staff who go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The buffet offered a fantastic variety of dishes, and everything was fresh and delicious. If you book a room from the Cool Living Selection, you even get the chance to visit the nearest town in the evening with a complimentary cocktail in a local bar – such a nice touch! Upon arrival, everything was clearly explained, and the staff took their time to make sure I felt welcome. Everyone was friendly and eager to answer any questions I had. The beach was great too – it’s a stone beach, but the atmosphere and view more than made up for it. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back!

Great stay - staff were lovely and amazing. Food was really good and service first class. We were not briefed that well at check in (we had a Suite) so would have liked to use the pool at the top of the resort which looks amazing. The one by reception is tired. Sadly the water in our private pool was v cold but overall we will return but would want to stay near the top of the resort. It’s high - very high but has spectacular views.

We had a wonderful stay at Domes Aulus. We arrived late and were greeted and told to get some dinner while they did the check in process. Our room was so nice with a private pool (we booked) and had an amazing view. Most rooms in VIP are located on a very steep hill and you need a shuttle to get up and down. We never waited long for a shuttle. Food was very good and there is lots of selection. Very close to nearby towns and restaurants (car or taxi) we always felt very safe and enjoyed visit g the near by towns. We can’t wait to come back!

It was great overall. Good food, a nice beach, nice views, comfy rooms, and good drinks. The only things that could would improve it would be not playing music at the beach all the time because the sound of the sea is nice. Other than that no complaints. Lots of stuff to do around there and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

An sich ein gutes Hotel. Die Zimmer sind sauber und gut ausgestattet. Der Hügel sollte aber nicht unterschätzt werden und somit ist das Hotel für Leute mit Geh Problemen nicht geeignet. Essen ist gut nur leider nicht sehr abwechslungsreich.

Super saubere Unterkunft ! Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir hatten die Cool Living Selection (in der Suite automatisch mit enthalten) gebucht. Das Essen in den Restaurants ist absolute Spitzenklasse, das Buffet zum Frühstück und Mittag im Greco Levante ist ebenfalls absolut top! Insgesamt können wir das Hotel wirklich weiterempfehlen. Das einzige Manko war, dass beim Greco Levante (ausschließlich für Cool Living Gäste) eventuell erweitert werden sollte, damit dort mehr Liegen hin können. Diese waren immer recht schnell besetzt. Und leider reservieren einige Leute die liegen morgens direkt um 8 und kommen dann erst teilweise um 11-16 Uhr wieder. Hier wäre eventuell eine Regelung angebracht, dass wenn man mehr als 1 oder 1,5 Stunden nicht auf der Liege ist, man die Handtücher der Gäste entfernen darf, um sich dort selbst hinzulegen. Aktuell werden, soweit ich weiß, noch 18 weitere Suiten oben gebaut, spätestens dann werden Sonnenliegen am Greco Levante wohl Mangelware sein.

Very good hotel. Rooms spotless, service great and the food was tasty

Lovely Hotel,great team of staff, food very nice and all very clean.

Enjoyed our stay, very clean and presentable hotel. Staff were excellent and very accommodating.

A beautiful property with great staff! I felt immediately welcomed! Everything was clean and if we had an issues they were solved immediately. I loved everything. I would like some more late night food options other than room service maybe having one of the restaurants open later.

Dora was amazing! She helped us plan some great day trips. More local traditional Greek food at the dinner buffet would have been appreciated. Our room was very damp and smelt musty. We only stayed for 3 nights but would have asked to be moved if staying longer. .

Very friendly employees, rooms are good could be a bit spacier, shower without light is interesting

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön! Auch Essen und Trinken war top. Die Anlage war zum Teil sehr steil, worauf man sich eventuell einstellen sollte und es war jetzt nicht super viel in näherer Umgebung. Trotzdem sehr zufrieden gewesen!

Every member of the team were personable and always greated us and were enquiring about ourselves and our stay

⸻ Zu viele Gäste für zu wenige Mitarbeiter. Der Service ist sehr schlecht. An der Bar muss man etwa 15 Minuten auf ein Getränk warten, weil nur ein Barkeeper für rund 10 wartende Gäste da ist – und obendrein arbeiten sie sehr langsam. Dasselbe gilt auch für die Restaurants: Auf allen Buchungsplattformen wird „All-Inclusive mit Restaurants“ versprochen, aber tatsächlich kann man während des gesamten Aufenthalts nur einmal in ein Restaurant gehen – nicht täglich. Als Ausrede heißt es: „Das Restaurant ist ausgebucht“. Doch jedes Mal, wenn wir uns selbst davon überzeugt haben, waren höchstens 3-4 Tische belegt, der Rest war leer. Als Alternative bleibt nur das Buffet – aber selbst dort wurden wir dreimal abgewiesen, weil es zu voll war und es keine Sitzplätze mehr gab. Das Hotel verdient höchstens drei Sterne. Von außen sieht es vielleicht aus wie ein Fünf-Sterne-Hotel, aber der Service und zusätzlich die Qualität des Essens sind wirklich schlecht.

The staff were exceptional. Best experience with hotel staff we have encountered in the 20 years of traveling

Such a beautiful place the staff was amazing. Howe we it’s carved into a steep cliff. If you can’t walk well not the place for you

Great staff!

An excellent value for money option. Great staff, restaurants, and experience on the Cool Living option.
