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

We arrived 17/06/2025 to celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary. We had been speaking on email with Elini who was very helpful and reassuring. I was very anxious after reading dome reviews but we didn't have to worry. Upon arrival we were given welcome drinks and told to take a seat. Check in was very quick. We were given a complimentary room upgrade. Our whole trip was fabulous. From the amazing food, the delicious cocktails, the attentive staff, we had the best time. We never had an issue getting a sunbed. We were in block 7 so did have the benefit of cool living which was worth it in my opinion. The buffet lunch in cool living was superb. We would like to mention George the hotel manager who was welcoming and so hospitable he even had champagne dropped to our room. George who drives the golf buggies and vehicles was our absolute favourite, so kind and happy all the time. I do understand some peoples concerns regarding the steep hills to the rooms but we always called reception and got picked up within a few minutes, its so well organised so don't let that put you off! Plus you will get to meet George! We will be back next year! Well done to all the staff!

A wonderful stay in a cascading hotel for adults only. Varied meals in several restaurants will certainly satisfy the most demanding palates. The view from the window to the sea gives peace and relaxation. I definitely recommend this hotel, the staff knows what it takes to ensure peace. The rooms are well-equipped and cleaned daily. I will gladly return here someday.

We stayed at Domes Aulus Elounda for one week from 8th August. We booked the Cool Living Section of the resort in a Sapphire Zen Suite with outdoor bath tub. Having read previous reviews we requested a room in the 800 block and were very pleased that the resort kindly accommodated our request and allocated us room 826. The room was very clean and spacious with all the amenities you would expect including plenty of wardrobe space. The view from our room was spectacular with very clear view of Spinalonga.  We didn't use the outdoor bathtub but enjoyed sitting on the shaded terrace relaxing and admiring the view in the late afternoon. The 800 block is very close to the Cool Living facilities restaurant Greco Levante and the Pool areas which is very convenient. As mentioned in previous reviews the resort is built on a very steep hillside. It is almost impossible to walk up and down from the Cool Living Section to the main hotel due to the incline and lack of sidewalk or steps. There are regular shuttles up and down or you can call for a car at any time.  We did find this a little restrictive as we do like to wander around rather than sit by the pool all day.  The pool area is beautiful with wonderful views and very comfortable sunbeds. As we are early risers, we didn't have any trouble finding a sunbed. However we did see several guests arriving late morning who were unable to find beds. There didn't appear to be any monitoring of sunbeds being reserved from early morning but not used until later in the day.  We contacted the resort before our visit to ensure we could book one of the a la carte restaurants for our anniversary. Mona was extremely helpful both by email prior to our holiday and during our stay. It was a pleasure to meet her. She did her utmost to accommodate our restaurant bookings throughout our stay.  Our favourite restaurant by far was Greco Levante.  We enjoyed the buffet breakfast and lunch there although choices are limited. The A La Carte dinner was excellent. We dined here several times including the special Asian night on Monday which was our favourite. The service and general ambience created by the staff in Greco Levante was fantastic. A special thank you to Marina, Maria and Gregory who work so hard to ensure a high standard of service. You made our stay very special and it was a pleasure to meet you all. Overall, I would say this resort is a solid 4 star rather than 5 mainly due to the limited choice at breakfast and lunch and the difficulty in moving around the resort.
