We had an incredible stay at Domes of Elounda, where the service was truly exceptional. Our kids absolutely loved the private pool at our villa, and the beach was stunning. However, the dining area could get quite chaotic during peak times, and the steep steps around the resort were a bit of a challenge with our toddler. Overall, it's a beautiful place with lots to offer, but a few areas could use some improvement.
