What an eye-opener! Cretan hospitality is legendary, but the Krini staff go above and beyond. From the arrival present of chilled wine and fruit, to the departure present of local produce, nothing was too much trouble for them. Christine on front of house was so kind, even when we changed our minds, several times over! She organised trips, car hire and so much more. The breakfast was the very best of Cretan food - fresh, local, traditional, plentiful, but with European options too, and as much as you could eat, which was a lot in our case! The position of the hotel was lovely, great views of Elounda bay, Spinalonga, Olous and the surrounding mountains and just a short walk down to Elounda village for tavernas, shops, boat trips etc. We were close enough to get where we wanted, without being in the middle of everything, The hotel rooms are small but adequate, clean, fresh, lovely balcony, fridge!!!, coffee and tea making, toiletries, plentiful towels and even a personal safe. We were also given beach towels for the hotel pool, where we chose to spend quite some time lounging in the sun, often with free taster drinks brought round by the bar staff. I already love Crete, but the Krini made for an exceptional week for myself and my daughter and far exceeded her expectations. We would highly recommend it as a package or self-book and would happily go back if we could.
