Lady Hillyer and I had the pleasure of staying at The Blue Palace. It is a long drive from the airport. Our car took us an hour and a half. It would not be fair to mark down the hotel on this. Our room was superbly presented, we had our own pool and fresh flowers every day. Turn down service... More

This very impressive hotel sits commandingly over Elounda Bay with the most magnificent views. Large and sprawling it will take a good while to explore all the facilities and grounds. Pools both up and down (at sea level) are fantastic, as are the various restaurants and bars. The eating was brilliant every night (considering the fact that it's a beach... More

Everything was stunning: the service was impeccable. We got nicely uppgraded to a room with a little pool of our own with a spectacular view over the Aegean. What a place to have your breakfasts. The Greek restaurant was nice.. their principal restaurant with classic French influenced cuisine left us a bit wanting; they did their best but it was... More

Went here after going to Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini so Crete had some big shoes to fill. The hotel was very large and beautiful. We prefer smaller hotels so we weren't too excited about this. The room was very nice and everything was perfect with the room. The view from our terrace was great. All the food we ate there... More

I am torn: one the one hand this hotel and resort is undoubtedly gorgeous - fabulous views, great facilities and a lovely setting; on the other hand the expense was daunting. The hotel itself is expensive, but having got there we were appalled to find that everything was so costly - the food, the wine, a massage and so on... More

This Resort is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We were lucky enough to book the Blue Palace Villa itself, which is a spectacular spacious private villa, so we may have had an exceptional experience. The villa has two floors, three bedrooms, as many baths, an amazing living room, dining room, kitchen, gardens, large private pool,... More

honeymoon summer 2011. First room not bad (no wow factor) but moved to a fantastic villa on periphery of resort (south eastern corner but at significant cost when we were told that is what we were supposed to be in originally as part of the honeymoon free upgrade but hey ho), very secluded, private pool and sun all day.

The service was, the room with a private pool overlooking the most incredible ocean. And while I was there I was able to witness a "big fat Greek wedding" on the beach. Wow. Amazing. The food was excellent in all the restaurants.

This hotel is beautiful. The service was excellent. One of the nicest experience ever. We were upgraded to junior suite and it was a corner unit.
