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!

If your planning to stay at this hotel definitely stay in Cool Living section and request a room number 800 and above!

Mini bus every 30 minutes but hotel avertise golf carts when its actually mainly nissan cars taking you up and down. * Minimum day snacks in the cool living section but the main hotel bar at the bottom has an excellent selection if you can be bothered to travel down the hill. Cooling living guests should get the same snacks as paying more! *App to make restaurant reservations never worked for our whole trip. *Not all premium drinks are included as advised! Overall we had a fantastic holiday and the hotel staff were incredibly helpful and friendly! Book Cool Living!

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 spent our honeymoon at Domes Aulus Elounda and absolutely loved it. Huge thanks to George, the Operations Manager. Back in January, when we made our booking, we sent a bunch of questions and George personally replied to every email, patiently guiding us through everything and helping us feel confident about our choice. When we finally arrived, he welcomed us in person, remembered our conversation, and made us feel instantly recognized as Hilton members. The room upgrade was a wonderful surprise, and his warm, personal approach made all the difference. The view from our room was stunning, and the food at Greko Levante and Vatanne was honestly some of the best we had in Greece. This place has heart not just beautiful views and great food, but real people who make you feel at home. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

We upgraded to Cool Living Zen Suite with private outdoor jacuzzi Room was beautiful with the most stunning view. No warm water for jacuzzi but in all honesty if using in the day you won’t want extra heat anyway! I would have liked the option of room service and free mini bar refills given 5 star, but it certainly wouldn’t deter me from booking The rooftop cool living pool, bar and restaurant is 100% worth the upgrade and feels night and day from the standard pool area. I do have one BIG criticism. They do not police the guests attending the area AT ALL! We paid extra to access this area, yet getting beds was so difficult because they allowed all hotel guests to use it. They really really need to fix this. There is a lifeguard on duty who has very little to do, seems to me they could get this person to ask for room numbers or to see key (as cool living have different key) at no extra staffing cost. So easy to fix and all cool living guests complained of this. Food was good. Not ‘blow me away’ good but good enough and met my expectations. We had a big birthday whilst there and they were brilliant and making it special. We had a personalised birthday cake, a great table and the band sang happy birthday. We booked a half day semi private catamaran through the concierge and it was absolutely fantastic. The concierge are great and arranged all our restaurants too. The location was amazing! Highly recommend visiting Plaka, Elounda and Agios Nikolaos. A trip to Spinalonga is a must. Also, do take advantage of the hotels free shuttle to Agios! Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. I just think they need to fix the issue with allowing none paying guests in the cool living area.
