Cayo Exclusive Resort & Spa

Beautiful place, great view, the rooms are great, and the stuff is amazing (especially Elena which helped us a lot)

The spa facilities are not free

All perfect

A unique and peaceful location. The room terrace offers a stunning view of Elounda Bay and Spinalonga Island. The hotel consists of six floors of modern stone buildings built into a steep hillside and connected by funiculars. All rooms have private pools and sea views. There are three large infinity pools and a 24-hour fitness center. The rooms are exceptionally spacious and very clean, with excellent bedding. The Greek buffet breakfast is outstanding, with the option to order hot dishes from the morning menu. The staff are very friendly and attentive to children. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to the nearest villages — a great convenience even when arriving by car.

The hotel’s private beach is pebbly, but since we knew this before arrival, it did not cause any additional issues. We visited the nearest beautiful sandy beaches instead. The dinner menu was rather limited and did not fully match the price.

Very clean, lovely staff.

Poorly programmed lifts made it very time consuming to get around. The spa really isn’t a usable facility, in that after spending roughly £5K for a week’s stay, one shouldn’t have to pay a further 25 euros an hour to use the spa. Appalling.
