Oyster Hotel Review

Alikes Apartments

Scene

Family-run hotel popular with older couples

Alikes Apartments is a family-run hotel that's popular with older couples. Opened in 2002, the property consists of a lovely, whitewashed set of buildings with artwork hanging in the hallways and a solarium-style skylight on the top floor. Pine trees and palms are planted throughout the grounds, alongside cobblestone and redbrick paths that create a warm and contemporary atmosphere.

Location

A short stroll from Elounda’s lively harbor and a short boat ride from the island of Spinalonga

Alikes Apartments is a 10-minute walk from Elounda and its lively harbor and pretty beaches. It's a 15-minute drive from Agios Nikolaos, renowned for its paved shopping streets and legendary bottomless lake. Spinalonga, the island featured in Victoria Hislop's bestselling novel of the same name, is a short walk away. Heraklion and its airport are just over an hour away via car.

Rooms

Plain rooms with small kitchenettes and terraces or balconies, some with views

The rooms at Alikes have easy-to-clean tile floors, white, gold, or cream walls, and simple furniture. Studios for two people come with single or double beds, and those for three guests have an additional sofa bed. Each one-bedroom has a double bed in the bedroom plus a single bed or sofa beds in the living room. All have small balconies or terraces and kitchenettes with two-burner stoves, basic cooking utensils, electric kettles, and fridges. Some of the studios in the rear of the hotel are more modern, but these have ugly views over neighboring buildings; front rooms have sea views. Guests seeking peace and quiet should request a room away from the pool and pool bar, which can be noisy.

Features

Large basement gym, steam room, sauna, and small pool with pool bar

A fitness center in the basement provides multiple treadmills and a few weight machines. There's a steam room, a sauna, and a small playground for children. The highlight here is the small saltwater pool, although most of the lounge chairs are in a separate grassy area away from the pool area. The snack bar/restaurant serves breakfast and a small range of drinks and snacks. There is also a library area with a limited selection of books for guests to borrow. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
