Sunset Elafonisi Apartments

Lovely apartment which was perfect for my family of four. We loved our private pool area and also used the main pool which our kids loved. The apartment was perfectly functional and great to have a washing machine - this really helped! The beds were very comfortable with great mattresses - I usually find it hard to adjust to a new bed on holiday but not here. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils and equipment inc a nespresso machine and the fridge had some basic items included. A lovely fruit basket, bottle of wine and some delicious olive oil were all waiting for us. This was a super gesture. No real negatives about the apartment but my only mild irritation was that when you want to put the AC on anytime someone opens a door outside everything goes off. If someone if inside wanting AC but another wants to sit outside you have play AC tag to please everyone’s requirements. Only other comment is about the local area - we really enjoyed the White Lake but we were quite disappointed with Elafonisi Beach as it was so packed and everything was very touristy. I’m sure it is better in low season. If we return to the west of the island I would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Would return anytime!

We had a lovely stay in this new and well-appointed accommodation. Canteen and taverna (both in walking distance) were excellent. The manager was also truly lovely.

We took our adult son and his sweetheart here for 5 nights and it was wonderful. We had a 2-bedroom and a pool. I think most accomodations are 1 bedroom. The manager, Kariofilli Despina, is really excellent and was so kind and thoughtful. It is a quiet, tranquil, beautiful spot with a gorgeous view and beautiful gardens on the premises, with lush roses and gardenias. It is modern and super clean. Great cleaning staff. NOT in a touristic spot and near beautiful beaches. We would love to return!

The room was clean, spacious, bright and the view was wonderful. There was a basket with a complimentary fruits, raki, olive oil and a bottle of wine in the room. Close to the apartment, you can find a mini market. It has everything that you want. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything that you might need to cook. I fully recommend it!!!

We had a great stay at Sunset Elafonisi. The view of the sea and the sunset from our room was extraordinary. The staff was really helpful and full of recommendations on what to do and where to go. The room was comfortable, modern and clean, with new furniture and a complete set of cookware. There was also a welcome basket with local fruits as well as wine, olive oil and even some raki! Elafonisi beach is only 15 mins away and there are mini markets where you can buy anything and some local restaurants like Gialites and Cosmos that have great cretan food. Next time I'm in Crete I am definitely coming back!

The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. On arrival we had a basket of fresh fruit, olive oil and raki. There was also tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper etc and shampoo. The apartment and pool area were very clean. We had clean sheets and towels (including beach towels) every 2 days and the bins in the apartment were emptied every day. There was a coffee machine, toaster and even a sandwich toaster but no oven, microwave or washing machine. Free parking in apartment car park. The staff were very friendly and were happy for a late check in. We didn’t arrive until after midnight The apartment is in quite a rural location and took just under 2 hours to drive to, from Chania airport and some of the roads were quite tricky. There were lots of amazing beaches within easy driving distance but there was not much else to do in easy driving distance. There were local shops and restaurants in villages but no big towns. I would recommend Elafonisi Beach (walk across to island where is quiter), Kedradosos (a bit of a rocky walk to Beach) quite and nudism and White Lake. They are all on off road tracks. I would also recommend Ane Car Hire from China Airport

The apartment was spacious, beautifully decorated and there was a great view of the sea. Basket of fruit with Raki, and wine in the room. Our apartment also had a little pool. It was heavenly! Love this place.

The rooms were clean with a beautiful balcony. The view of the sea was stunning. It's very close to a fun 'sea pool, close to Elafonissi. We were greeted with wine, raki and a basket full of fruits.
