Free WiFi is available in all areas. Best hotel I've been to. 5 star employees. I don't think I've ever been treated so well as at the Nema Hotel.

When I return to Crete I will stay at Nema 100% I was sorry to leave. It was a fantastic week

Built amphitheatrically on a hillside of Elounda, beachfront Elounda Infinity Exclusive Resort & Spa - Adults Only offers a view of Elounda bay and the island of Spinalonga. The 5-star resort boasts an outdoor pool, two restaurants & 2 bars. I spent a couple of days for my birthday at Elounda Infinity and I had a fabulous stay, it was exactly what I was looking for. Some of the highlights: •Fantastic staff! Really, I rarely had the pleasure to interact with such a lovely bunch of people during all my stays. Everyone from reception, managers, cleaning staff, bar, dining room and kitchen were always polite, smiling and ready to accommodate you. Top notch service all around, I’m so grateful for everyone making my day better. They even upgraded our room with a hot tub and it was a lovely gesture which we greatly appreciated. • Fantastic breakfast and dinner! Food was varied, there were so many choices for both sweet and savoury breakfast, both local and international options. The dining room is beautiful with a stunning view. • Beautiful location; the area is very quiet and the views are stunning. This is the perfect place to have a relaxing stay. • New structure, everything is obviously modern and in great condition. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable and they provide plenty of toiletries. What I also appreciated is the cleanliness, which is something I greatly value and I always check thoroughly.
