We had a wonderful 5 days stay at Phaea. The staff is very attentive and always willing to help and cater to our needs and requirements. The food is top notch! We especially enjoyed the cocktails by the private pool during the evening, enjoying the sunset. Greetings to the amazing staff, we will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Phaea Blue. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel less like guests and more like part of the family. The warmth, kindness and genuine care shown by every member of the team made our holiday truly special. The food was exceptional throughout our stay, with every meal beautifully prepared using fresh, local, high-quality ingredients. The service was equally outstanding—nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request was met with a smile. We left with wonderful memories and can't wait to return. Thank you to everyone at Phaea Blue for such an unforgettable stay!

A wonderful experience. Great location, great facilities, excellent restaurants and beach and first class staff made this a superb relaxing break. Accommodation superb. Cannot recommend this hotel enough. One of the best experiences I have had. Left feeling totally recharged.

This special hotel is gorgeous and the pictures don’t do it justice. The staff are incredible and incredibly helpful - located on a hillside they have prompt club cars available to shuttle you to a bountiful breakfast or the beach club. Our room had a private view with a gorgeous view of Spinalonga. The beach is rocky with cabana chairs, private docks and walkways everywhere. It’s not for little kids who want to play in the sand, but I appreciated no sandy feet and a refreshing swim off the dock. It’s a very short walk across the beach to the town of Plaka and a 20 minute drive to Agios Nikolas. I’ll be staying here again when I return to Crete and highly recommend this special hotel.
