This is a very good hotel. It is located on a large site on both sides of the coastal road between Plaka and Elounda - guests pass under the road to go from the beach/spa/restaurants and the rooms. They are linked by a panoramic funicular which shuttles up and down pretty efficiently. It did break down a couple of times... More

We spent a week in this faboulous hotel,departing on May 18. When we arrived we realized that we were not happy with the room assigned: we needed much more privacy. The reception employers and , especially, the front Manager Mrs. Claire, were so nice to find us a suitable solution very quickly. We had a relaxing holiday, far away from... More

We stayed here for 7 days during May.  We arrived around 9.45pm after a private transfer which took 1 hr from Heraklion airport.  We heard the coach can take up to 2 hrs.  On arrival we had a super-quick check-in and a warm welcome from Eleni in Guest Services who took us to our room (Suite 728) in a golf...

We have just returned from our third trip to The Blue Palace and whilst we were slightly worried about the food choices (we are complete foodies!) we were prepared for the worst after the last two times and willing to forego this for the relaxation and luxury this hotel offers elsewhere. Firstly the wonderful points - check in was a... More

The Blue Palace hits the mark on so many levels, the staff are great and very helpful, the food good as long as you firstly don't go complicated and second order the lobster ( the wife's lobster was 3 mouthfuls and before you say it, my wife has a small mouth!)

We visited Blue Palace at the beginning of May and found it to be a solid 5-star hotel that fails to excel and occasionally disappoints. The hotel layout is confusing at first but becomes second nature after a day or so; having to traverse it remains a chore though. The funicular lift is a great novelty but becomes a nuisance... More

This is an excellent hotel facing the Spinalonga island. The view from our room was amazing whatever the weather. We loved sitting on our terrace by the pool, even when it was rainining.

Even our basic room was absolutely beautiful. Facing the sea, each morning we saw the sun rise over Spinalonga. The facilities were well kept, beautiful, quiet, relaxing and sprawling. The salt water and fresh water pools were great, especially since I found the Mediterranean waters a bit too chilly for my liking. The most frustrating feature of the resort was... More
