A totally reccomended family hotel. The people that have the hotel are wonderful and helpful. We got a small room, since i was just with my husband, but the view was fantastic. Additionally is was really clean.

We stayed as a family of 4 in July 2011. Room(s) - two rooms joined together to give a simple, clean family space. Large balcony, with simply stunning views over the bay. This had enough shade options that we could enjoy it in the morning, lunch-time and night. Air conditioning was sufficient to keep even newly arrived Scots cool enough... More

I too stayed at Big Blue last year, and I was there when the owner billed my party for a balance of €30 as we checked out. After we had paid and left, he charged another €90 to our credit card, and he did not tell us he was going to. He claims he told us, but why would he?... More

Big Blue charged my credit card without my knowledge or consent just after I had paid the bill in full and left, and they still haven’t refunded the money after several demands. My family and I booked six nights in August 2010, at €90 a night for two rooms. We booked by email and paid a deposit of €150 by... More

Each year we are welcome hundreds of customers. It is natural among those to be found a recalcitrant man. We don’t want to degrade the debate. The customer was informed that the card will be charged with the extra amount. He cancels the reservation without our doing any of the complaints mentioned in this document. He informed us that they... More

We had a very pleasant 5 days here and would agree with the many positive comments by previous posters. The owners were lovely and very helpful. Our first floor apartment was excellent with a large balcony looking south west over the sea. At that level you cannot see much to the south east. The higher up apartments have a wider... More

My partner and I spent a wonderful two weeks at the Big Blue in Myrtos in the first two weeks in August. The setting could not have been more beautiful. We were wonderfully welcomed by Dimitra and her son Pavlos. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. A minor criticism was that the bathroom was a little dated... More

This is a small family run hotel with lots of charm, located in Myrtos, a small seaside town about 20 km west of Ierapetra. The hospitable owners gave up their own apartment when longtime guests couldn’t or wouldn’t leave and free up a room for us; the owners apologized many times for the accommodations, but we were thrilled to have...

We first found Myrtos in September 2006 - it has a short entry in Lonely Planet - and Big Blue was their recommended place to stay. Having just retrurned from our second visit, we'd certainly go again - the rooms are nice and the owners very friendly. Big Blue has both larger studios (with a kitchen area including a sink,...
