This hotel has really nice views and it’s so peaceful. We had a great time as a family holiday. They were very accommodating with our baby needs. The staff are very friendly and supportive. The food was amazing throughout. Every staff member had a smile and it was never too much. The chefs took pleasure in making the best food. Truly a great experience and would highly recommend this place .

Stayed here for a few days with family (including a baby) and it was one of the nicest hotels I’ve been to, both in terms of location and decor and hospitality. The staff were so friendly and made the trip even more special. Food at the resort is really good, there is a very accessible beach and small town nearby. Definitely worth a visit and stay!

Take me back, please! Blue Palace is a special place, on a special island. The property, itself, is the epitome of rustic, elegant & understated luxury, complete with an expansive, organic vegetable garden, serenading cicadas, and olive trees. We were greeted at arrival with a festive sweet tea made with herbs grown onsite. The beach is tranquil and inviting, although don't expect white sand beaches, but rather a pebbly beach with gently lapping water that faces Spinalonga Island, with a rich history. It's a swimmer's beach with warm water, and you can rent paddle boards, etc., from a kiosk that's a short walk down the beach. The Cretan Feast dinner is a fun & delicious way to spend an evening at the hotel. Hotel staff is gracious, responsive & accommodating. Rooms are well-appointed and relaxing. The breakfast buffet is not to be missed, with so many deliciously fresh food options (Greek yogurt bar, fresh-baked bread & pastries, gorgeous fruit, eggs made to order) , it's a great way to start the day. I miss Blue Palace, and look forward to having the opportunity to visit again, one day.

We arrived looking forward to our fourth visit to the Blue Palace unaware that it was closed for renovation and refurbishment and that we were in fact staying at the Phaea Blue Palace Boutique Hotel situated in the same grounds as the original hotel. We had visited this part of the resort in the past to eat at the Asian/fusion restaurant. Our stay has been amazing meeting lots of staff from the old Blue Palace and some new faces. The kindness friendliness and hospitality of the staff at this hotel from every level of employment could not be bettered. The food and wine at the Anthos and Blue Door restaurants was delicious the view from our room was perfect overlooking the bluest sea and Spinalonga ( our initial reason for visiting the Blue Palace Hotel six years ago). The hotel has a wonderfully calm feel throughout and is set in large beautifully kept gardens. Buggies were available at all times to take us to the beach or the kerb to walk (five minutes) into Plaka and a quick WhatsApp message later and a buggy was waiting to bring us back to our room. Trips to Knossos were arranged for guests and games arranged for the younger guests. We had always loved the old Blue Palace hotel and its staff but being a much smaller hotel this time we were made even more aware of how wonderful the staff are and how they all make the Blue Palace Boutique Hotel a first choice holiday destination for us. Thank you all-Manager Konstantinos Rokos, Manos ,Maria,Anna, and Stavros who looks after everyone on the beautiful beach ( where towels water and even sun cream are complimentary). We can’t wait to return..

This was our third time at the Blue Palace Hotel and we were full of expectation. At first we were a little confused, as the concept had been fundamentally changed and half of the previous area had been separated off. At first it looked like a building site and disappointment. But that changed quickly. The hotel has become quieter, clearer and more exclusive. The new concept has become more sustainable and, in a positive sense, more authentic. The staff are highly professional, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are well-kept and tastefully furnished. The cuisine in the Anthos and Blue Door restaurants is excellent and the grounds are lovingly maintained. In short: the hotel has won with the new concept and is highly recommended in every respect. If you are looking for a luxurious, relaxing holiday with peace and quiet in a paradisiacal setting, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back.
