It's a pity that Greek air traffic control strikes can spoil an otherwise 100% wonderful holiday experience. Back a few hours from another truly lovely stay at Blue Beach. Katerina and Manolis and the other staff make their guests feel so welcome. They seem like part of my family now. Katerina can't do enough to be helpful. They all work... More

Blue Beach Villas are set in idyllic surroundings overlooking the bay and mountain at Stavros in Crete. We stayed at the villas for two weeks and were delighted with the accommodation in all respects. Initially we were offered a cabin style apartment that lacked space and a sea view. We were disappointed but matters were quickly rectified and we were... More

My partner, his mother and I booked at Blue Beach based on the website and our correspondence with Manolis. We had never been to Greece before -- and this was a terrific introduction to Crete. The impeccably maintained and spacious apartments have balconies that overlook the water. The view to the peninsula (where the final scene of Zorba the Greek... More

We loved the Blue Beach! We stayed in a large apartment since there were five of us with a patio overlooking the taverna/swimming area and spent some fantastic evenings drinking wine and watching dusk fall over the Aegean. This hotel is great for a get-away. There are definitely hotels with better beaches right out front, but probably not for the... More

After visiting Crete for ove 30 Years, and living there for many years, I visited Blue Beach. A ood place. Particularly worth a mention are Julian and Linda who keep the place and business running in tip top shape. Thanks, and keep it up you guys. See you again. More

We have been going to Blue Beach for a number of years and always find it excellent. If you like a holiday where you can swim and generally relax and get away from things then you should enjoy it. We found Linda and Julian particularly helpful. Linda looks after reception with Katarina and Julian solves any problems eg. our hotplate... More

We spent 6 days of our holiday at Blue Beach Villas since we wanted a place by the sea, quiet and kid-friendly…and we found it. I made a booking for a sea-view 4persons apartment, but this was a "brilliant sea-view" (as you may see at the photo, veranda view). We “used” the waves as a lullaby every night. Staff was... More

We spent first part of our holiday at Akti Hotel, Agios Apostoloi (4km from Chania) since we wanted to explore Chania region (north and west coast) and stay near Chania town for evening going out. This was the good plan. Agios Apostoloi has 4 great sandy beaches, one of them is really long and very nice, not affected by norther... More

We have stayed at Blue Beach for two summers in a row, 2008 and 2007 and are hoping to return this year again. We can't say enough about this great gem of a place. The staff is absolutely top notch. Manolis and his staff: Linda, Julian & Katerina were so very friendly and helpful we just can't say enough good... More
