My wife and I were quite impressed with the hotel facilities and super professional staff. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and enjoyed an exceptional time. We ate at the Isola and Andos restaurants. Food cooked over wood fire tasted subliminal. Best option to stay in the Plaka and Agios Nikolai’s areas

We enjoyed our stay at Blue Palace. The staff is very friendly - especially the parking staff. There are lots of dining options on the property. The location is great. It is close to Elounda/Plaka, but not too close so it still feels private/peaceful. It has tremendous potential. The breakfast buffet is great - tons of options. Our only complaint is that everything feels very dated. Also, the 'private' pools are not very private.

Upon our late-night arrival, the staff showcased commendable hospitality, accommodating us gracefully. It set a positive tone for our stay, making it all the more disheartening to witness a dent in this welcoming facade: two young girls at the reception who consistently came across as standoffish. Their demeanor starkly contrasted with the other reception staff members, who were consistently amiable and proactive. A standout amongst the staff was the concierge. He was not only resourceful but was the epitome of warmth, making him the most pleasant to deal with. His efforts significantly enriched our experience, and it was evident that he took immense pride in his role. However, the overall charm of the hotel was dampened when we discovered the state of our private pool. A layer of green algae draped the rocky sides, suggesting a clear lack of maintenance. For a facility that's promoted as a highlight, it's paramount that it remains in pristine condition for guests to enjoy. Housekeeping was a roller-coaster, varying from immaculate attention to detail on some days to a cursory tidying up on others. The most unsettling issue came during checkout. To our dismay, we identified charges on our final bill for items and services we never availed. While the hotel was prompt in addressing and rectifying the mistake, such oversight raises questions on attention to detail and accuracy, both crucial in the hospitality sector.

Beautiful resort
We returned from 6 night stay. Beautiful large resort hotel. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Our bungalow room with patio was roomy and lovely view. Pools amazing, food delicious. Nearby to two villages, one within walking distance with nice restaurants. Hotel just over an hour taxi from Heraklion airport but worth it! The beach is stones but access from marina. Water crystal clear. Plenty of activities. We went to the full moon party which was fun, dj plus fireworks. My only negative would be the holding of the Sun loungers at beach. Apparently not meant to book, but they were being held with towels, books and beach bags from 9.30 until after 2. This is unfair to other guests and could easily be monitored by the towel staff.
