There’s heaven on earth and then there’s the Elounda Peninsula in Crete. And in all honesty, I’m not sure if there’s any difference. I know, I know, bold claim… but when I visited the Elounda in May, I had absolutely no expectations. I hadn’t looked at the hotel a huge amount online (because I am the least organised human that’s walked the planet), I hadn’t researched Crete (again, because I cannot adult), I just wanted to turn up and be surprised and have absolutely no preconceptions and omg I am so glad I did this because I had absolutely no idea how much of a treat I was in for.
You see, being an unorganised, busy adult can pay off sometimes.
But most of the time it doesn’t so please, please do not take my advice for anything other than where to travel to and where to stay [insert cry laughter/”you think I’m joking but I’m not” emoji here”.]
So, a little about the Elounda Peninsula all suite hotel. A family founded and run hotel, the Elounda family own 3 properties in Crete; the Elounda Mare, Porto Elounda and the All suite hotel. Each hotel is absolutely stunningly beautiful but the Elounda peninsula really is just breathtakingly special. Not only is it Europe’s top seafront hotel, it’s the only hotel in Europe that has only suites, each of those with their own private pools (I know!). Intimate, exclusive and truly unique from anywhere I’ve stayed before, the Elounda was genuinely the most luxurious place with by far, the most incredibly attentive and wonderfully friendly staff ever. In all honesty, the amazing suite, private pool, private beach and food to die for would have been enough for me but I pretty much fell in love with every staff member we met. So genuinely lovely and accommodating, it’s the perfect place to just go and chill.
From Junior suites to presidential villas and Peninsula residences, there really is something for everyone. We stayed in a Peninsula Collection suite boasting 2 storeys, 2 bathrooms, a giant bedroom, thermal bath (which is pretty much a jacuzzi) and basically me and Mum Next Door just ran around it like LOL LOOK AT OUR LIFE RIGHT NOW THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!
So, let’s talk food. Food is at the very, very top of my priority list and as a coeliac Sally, it can sometimes be a little difficult to be catered for abroad. Oh my good god Elounda did the best job ever. I had actually forgotten to alert the hotel which was terrible of me and more evidence of my lack of organisation, however from the very first meal, the amazing manager at Nafsika – a beautiful restaurant in Porto Elounda that served a buffet dinner – immediately brought me out gluten free pasta (for a blimmin starter), beautiful fish/meat and veg and an incredible dessert, and he did this every single night. My Mum also absolutely loved the food from the buffet and had something different every night too as there was so much option. Breakfast was honestly the dream. The restaurant looked over onto the sea and it was the most peaceful, stunning, beautiful setting. I think sitting there with a cuppa and 28873473 rounds of the buffet was the most chilled I’ve ever been. Pure luxury!
It looks so amazing! Crete is definitely going to be at the top of my holiday destinations!

This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
About how i get my ex husband after a breakup.
I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
My name is Willie B. Garcia from US Florida
I'm so excited sharing this testimony here about how I got my ex husband back after a long time break up that almost led to a divorce all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his wonderful help. Am a woman who love and cherish my husband more than any other thing you can imagine on earth. My husband was so lovely and caring after 3 years of marriage he was seriously ill and the doctor confirm and said he has a kidney infection that he needed a kidney donor, that was how I start searching for who can help, doctor has given me a periodic hour that he will live just 24 hours left, that was how I ask the doctor if I can be of help to my husband that was how he carried out the text, the confirming was successful, I was now having this taught that since 3 years now we got married I have not be able to get pregnant, can I ever get pregnant again? That was the question I ask the doctor, he never answer his response was did you want to lost your husband? I immediately reply no I can't afford to lose him. After the operation my husband came back to live and was healthy I was also ok with the instruction given to me by the doctor, after 3 months my husband came home with another lady telling me, that is our new wife that will give us kids and take care for us, that was how I was confused and started crying all day, that was how my husband ran away with his new wife cleanable. Since then I was confuse don't know what to do that was how I went back to the doctor and tell him everything, he told me that, this is not just ordinary, it must be a spiritual problem that was how he gave me this Email: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com that I should tell he all my problem that he can help, that was how I contacted he and I do as instructed. After 22 hours and I have done what he ask me to do, my husband start searching for me and went back to the doctor, that was how he came back to me, he also told me not to worry that I will get pregnant, this month making it ten Months I contacted he, and am now having a baby of nine months and 2 weeks old all thanks to Dr Ahmed for his help that is why I have put it as a must for me to spread the news about Dr Ahmed is a place to resolve marriage/relationship problems?

Man, now I'm really craving an overseas trip even more (if that's even possible…) Crete looks beautiful! Inside the suite looks so nice, although I have to say that shower is kinda giving me futuristic sci fi pod vibes? ….just me?

Thanks to Dr.Unity for bringing back my husband and brought great joy to me and my family!
I'm so excited my husband is back after he left me and our 3 kids for another woman!!
After 12 years of marriage, me and my husband has been into one quarrel or the other until he finally left me and moved to California to be with another woman. i felt my life was over and my kids thought they would never see their father again. i tried to be strong just for the kids but i could not control the pains that torments my heart, my heart was filled with sorrows and pains because i was really in love with my husband. Every day and night i think of him and always wish he would come back to me, I was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a (Love spell) for me. 28 hours later, my husband really called me and told me that he miss me and the kids so much, So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and the kids. Then from that day,our Marriage was now stronger than how it were before,All thanks to Dr Unity. he is so powerful and i decided to share my story on the internet that Dr.Unity real and powerful spell caster who i will always pray to live long to help his children in the time of trouble, if you are here and you need your Ex back or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact this powerful spell caster now.

I was a complete non believer when it comes to magic and magical spells, but when I came to know that my husband was cheating on me, I was desperate to find a solution to get this fixed up. I found Dr. Isi Lametu website http://ancientspiritualtemples.webs.com and email address: ancientspiritualtemples@gmail.com and contacted him straight away, and today I would like to inform you that not only I did the right thing by contacting you but you had also changed the perception of mine towards magic. Your love spell worked so quickly, my husband who was cheating on me, came home crying and begging for forgiveness, and he cannot explain why he was with our neighbor, just remember that it all started after she gave him a glass of wine. Thank you happiness has returned to our lives and our neighbor has disappeared with her witchcraft. Never saw her and her house is now for sale. Everything was very fast thanks again Dr. Isi Lametu. If you have been looking for a way to get your problems solved just contact Dr. Isi Lametu on website http://ancientspiritualtemples.webs.com and email address: ancientspiritualtemples@gmail.com
