We stayed here during a couple's trip and were impressed with how great it was. The breakfast spread each morning was phenomenal, every member of the staff was incredible, and we received a surprise upgrade to a beautiful room with a private pool. We also found the housekeeping to be an absolute standout. They were efficient and thorough. The Blue Door restaurant on property was also very good.

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!
