If you have not been to Crete, the first thing you want to know if how big the island is. It's probably best to divide your stay into regions and use the Blue Palace as one great place to stay. We got a room with a pool which we loved. What a luxury! The beach is great but early morning... More

I can’t find enough superlatives to describe this resort. Simply put, this place embodies what a 5-star property should be. The combination of service, location & amenities gelled into a most pleasant experience for us. We have been to a few 5-star hotels & this clearly ranks among the top. POSITIVES: Staff/Service: Appear to be genuinely friendly yet professional -... More

A true get away. Full luxury resort, all around. Gorgeous architecture in public areas, stunning views, luxurious private abodes with private infinity plunge pools and patios mean you don't need to leave your room. Add to the mystery and history of a fantastic island a perfect, plush, and idyllic resort setting to return to after a day of adventure -... More

This place is too amazing to put into words or photos, you really have to visit. The place is pretty much a city on its own. There is not really any reason to leave, with amazing restaurants and great swimming on the property. Unfortunately the location is kind of far from a lot of the best parts of the island.... More

We've stayed at the Blue Palace before and we were eager to return to this delightful resort tucked into the steep hills of Elunda. We always ask the hotel to arrange for a taxi to pick us up at the airport since we have no need to drive once we arrive at the hotel. We were greeted by staff as... More

My wife & I stayed for 3 nights in this beautiful resort in May, 2013. Since we arrived by the overnight ferry, they had our room ready at 9:00 am itself without any additional charge. The rooms are spacious, clean with a balcony overlooking the beach. Service was excellent and always delivered with a smile. The staff were helpful in... More

We have just returned from a superb week at the Blue Palace. Our bungalow was perfect with a view of Spinalonga island across the bay. We were lucky to be upgraded from B&B to half board with a dine around option which meant that we could dine in any one of the 4 restaurants (each with a different cuisine) -... More

We spent a week at The Blue Palace Hotel from 3rd June 2013. I would recommend taking a private transfer which costs €85 one way.The coach would take over 2 hours given they drop off at other hotels which is no fun. The private transfer takes less than one hour. The hotel has a lovely hill side setting and the... More
