I loved this hotel. The moment I arrived, it seemed as though the entire hotel staff came to your side. They are super nice, and attentive. The rooms were gorgeous, nice bathrooms, with a private plunge pool. The restaurant is pricey, we ate at the Italian restaurant, and my food was very bland. I wouldn't eat there again. Aside from... more

Was everything and more we could have wished. We were fortunate to be up-graded to one of the new bungalows at the far east of the resort. Very private our own pool and sun deck meant we did not need to spend time at the beach trying to find a sun lounger. Plaka is a lovely village and is better... more

We stayed at the Blue Palace in August. We had what they call a superior bungalow- nice average sized room, with a nice large bathroom and balcony. The beach and pool area is nice and the staff friendly. The two main things we will remember are the price of food and drink at the hotel and also the weather. We... more

First, this hotel is incredible. We loved it. I am a Starwood Gold member and we were on our honeymoon and they did a couple special things for us: upgraded the room, flowers on the bed, champagne on arrival in room, and "happy honeymoon" cake on 2nd night. People who do not rate this hotel as 4.5 or 5 need... more

When we arrived on Crete it was raining very hard and continued to rain for hours and well into the next day! What a shock and most dissapointing to say the least. So this meant that our one hour taxi trip to the hotel seemed more like a boat trip, with no view at all of Crete. Of course the... more
