Blue Palace, a Luxury Collection Resort and Spa, Crete

Beautiful property set across from Spinalonga. Walking distance to the village of Plaka. They have service down to a T. Everyone you meet is friendly and willing to help. The beach staff is fantastic, so is the beach service. Wonderful amenities all around. The only slight drawback for me was housekeeping. Very hit and miss on that front for a 5-star hotel. Also, the half-board option is not super considering there are plenty of good tavernas walking distance and the dinner buffet was not impressive. However, overall, this hotel really hit the mark and we would certainly go back and/or recommend it.

Lovely resort, huge, right on the beach, the food was great and the staff very friendly but we were incredibly disappointed as it is advertised of offering private pools, which is why we chose it, when in fact they are far from private!...the setting is in fact a share of a big pool with dividers in between .....NO PRIVACY whatsoever!!! The only privacy is in your room with the curtains closed otherwise the other guests in their “NOT so private� pools can see you!! :-(

Visited this hotel with my Mum for a long weekend and well what can I say we were treated like princesses from start to finish! Our room was lovely and spacious and had a big balcony with amazing views of the island. Staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was really good and one night we got room service which was really good other than that we ate outside the hotel as the prices where a little on the expensive side this is the only downside otherwise couldn’t fault this hotel and can’t understand why anyone would complain about it. 5 star luxury at its best.

This is a wonderful hotel set in beautiful surroundings. It has great views of Spinalonger Island - not to be missed. The staff are very efficient and nothing is too much trouble. I have just spent my fourth holiday there and can't wait to return. I am certain you will have holiday to remember.

We visited Blue palace in mid September. We were greeted by the concierge who showed around the resort and to our room. What a room! Spacious, clean, walk in closet, 2 sink bathroom, huge balcony and a gorgeous view. The staff is very polite and welcoming in all departments. If you want adventure, talk to Kostas the concierge. He helped us plan our days, recommended restaurants, told us exactly what beaches to visit. Kostas you are the best and you made our vacation extra special! The staff at the lounge bar is amazing, courteous, friendly and they aim to please. They want you to enjoy your time and will make sure of that. Thank you Barbara, Dimitri and Athina for being warm and welcoming. Dimitri you are right, Crete is better than Santorini! The room service staff is excellent, the breakfast served on our balcony every day was delicious and plentiful. I will go back again and recommend this amazing place to anyone in search of relaxation or adventure.
