Cubicle Dreamin': Afternoon Delight

Where: PO Box 38, Elounda, Crete, Greece, 72 053

Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? Send the story our way.

In this episode, Hotel Maven Picky Chick lets us know about her recent "quickie."

While sitting in my windowless office, I often scour the Internet...looking for places to escape to.  Even if it's only for a few minutes, there's something about finding that spot...that destination...that getaway where you can imagine yourself napping between chapters and reading between fruity cocktails.

See Picky Chick's destination desire after the jump.

Crete Villas With an Expat Feel

Let's get two things out of the way up front, Elounda is a resort town.

Furthermore, plenty of Brit expats find themselves starting a new life in this small Crete town--what exactly are they running from anyway?

Anyway, if you want to test the waters before relocating to resort town, or just go on a holiday where you don't need to worry about leaving your hotel, Elounda Gulf Villas & Suites could be your style.  The owners of this beautiful villa-dise are hands off, which is perfect if you don't want some stranger up in your grill from the moment you step off the plane.

Villas include cliff-hanging infinity pools, jacuzzis with ocean views and mood lighting, airport transfer and your own personal assistant.  Some villas even come equipped with a full-fledged gym.  

This place screams Med honeymoon, but before you book, call ahead and make sure there is no work being done on the property.  Nothing ruins a cliff side view faster than construction workers banging on the villa next door.
