We stayed at the Blue Palace in September 2011 for our honeymoon and loved it! The staff provided first class service, so professional and friendly. The drink on arrival and fresh flannels is a nice touch. The housekeeping was superb. We were especially spoilt because it was our honeymoon, with 3 evenings of treats left in our room, one of...

The Blue Palace is a beautiful hotel with an amazing view and good, small beach. Given the price, the hotel offers few amenities - even drinking water is sparse (you receive only one bottle per guest, in the evening). In booking the hotel, we relied on the SPG brand and did not fully consider the location. We later learned that... More

The Blue Palace is one of the most beautiful resorts I have stayed at. Built into a hillside, the view of the Gulf of Elounda and the 450 yr old Venetian fort on Spinalonga island 0.5 miles from the shore is spectacular. Add luxurious rooms (most rooms have its own pool!), a first class spa, and great restaurants, the combination... More

The Blue Palace in Elounda was one of the most beautiful resorts ive ever seen. We were there for a special occasion and were upgraded to the Amorgos suite with two bathrooms, a living room and a private pool on the terrace. The room was always clean and the decor was very attractive and simple. It was a bit of... More

Ever been to a big box store expecting much more but walking away disappointed? Well that's how we felt staying at the Blue Palace. I will start with the positives. The location is stunning and the property is beautiful with lots of excellent pools. The cleaning staff were excellent as well as room service which I would have to say... More

We stayed here mid October when the resort was only part full though the weather was still pretty good and the sea warm enough to swim in. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The standard of fittings and furnishings are extremely high and we found the service from the staff to be top quality. We upgraded to a room with a pool... More

We had pleasure of visiting this oasis last summer for a destination wedding.. The outside facilities with the multiple pools is refreshing but the incline can be a wait during peak times. Of course you're on vacation so you didn't mind waiting. Since every room has a great view, the layout of the hotel can be a little confusing so... More

It's a beautiful property and probably time for a little refurbish. The facility is gorgeous with incredible views and pools and facilities. The funicular is a great feature and the view up and down lovely. Our room was a little tired. We had a room with a plunge pool which was incredibly fun. The furnishings were not what one expects...

I had read mixed things about Blue Palace and I am happy to say .. it Exceeded our expectations by a lot. That said, we are very happy this was a part of our honeymoon, not the whole honeymoon. For couples- four nights is perfect. A private pool is definitely worth the extra money BUT make sure you get a... More

My husband and i travelled to the Blue Palace for a wedding this September.
