Oh, Elounda, what an amazing way to end our Crete trip. Check-in went smoothly, we got a corner room with a private pool. Although it’s heated, it felt kind of cold at night. The room looked clean overall. Room service was quick and delicious. My only complaint is that the service provided by the beach was too slow. There was only one girl working under the sun, and I could tell she was getting frustrated. You might have to come out early and reserve seats. Had a weird encounter with a family that’s been away for 2hrs come back to tell us that those were their seats and asked for us to move (weird and privileged to say the least). Second day we rode the water taxi from the hotel to Spinalonga island, and this experience was so much cooler in person! It was worth every penny. Also bring your own water, the island has one convenience store and the price is pretty hefty. Breakfast is free, and I recommend asking for seating by the balcony so you can enjoy the view. We also had a couple of drinks on the outdoor balcony in front of the hotel; the bartender was super friendly. Then, on our last night, we had a lovely dinner overlooking the island, and oh my goodness, the service, food, ambience was a top notch (Please book in advance for dinner and ask for outdoor seating). This hotel was purely magical; it really elevated the experience of Crete. I would love to come back again. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

Stunning hotel in a lovely location. Staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. The breakfast is fantastic. All the restaurants offer delicious food and wonderful service. Plaka is less than a five minute walk and while small has restaurants, coffee shops and some lovely gift shops.

One of the most memorable holidays I've ever taken. 7 days at the Blue Palace felt like 14 days of blissful relaxation and rest. Not only is this place situated in a tremendously picturesque and beautiful location but the quality and service level from the Blue Palace team was exceptional. From the initial welcome to the hand shake good bye we were treated to genuine warmth, smiles and local hospitality. Special shout outs to Lydia who was a constant & friendly point of contact throughout our stay and Niki and the entire F&B team who provided a 5 star level of service and always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and comfortable. 5/5!

Stunning location with panoramic views. Clearly high end and for a particular market. Service was ok, but slanted to more premium guests. Which was ok for us and we were happy to be pretty self contained. All staff were very friendly and happy to help with anything.
Clearly lots of rooms available because end of season. It would have been nice to have been offered an upgrade particularly as our stay was part of our honeymoon.

Incredible luxury beach hotel. Food is very high quality, they have all of the amenities, and maybe the best beaches in the Mediterranean. Also, one of the quietest and most relaxing five star resorts I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!
