The Blue Palace offers a stunning setting with breathtaking views of Spinalonga, creating a lovely atmosphere for a vacation. The service is quite attentive, though there are some inconsistencies, particularly regarding dining options and communication. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the lack of privacy with certain pool areas and the cleanliness of the beach facilities could be improved. Overall, it's an ideal place to relax, but those looking to explore Crete extensively might find the location a bit limiting.

Rooms

The room was spacious and comfortable, featuring a private pool that offered a beautiful outlook, though it lacked the promised view of Spinalonga. The setup around the bed made navigation a little tricky.

The hotel is conveniently positioned between Plaka and Elounda, offering easy access to both towns for exploring local culture and cuisine. However, this means it's quite a drive to reach other attractions in Crete.

While the variety of restaurants is nice, the quality of food didn't consistently meet our expectations. We were disappointed with the Italian restaurant, but enjoyed casual dining options at the beach bar.

I had an amazing week at this hotel with my family. The accommodations were exceptional, especially after we got moved to a suite that had breathtaking views and excellent amenities. The dining options were diverse and delicious, and the service made us feel truly pampered. However, the initial room we were given didn't quite live up to our expectations. Overall, it was a luxurious experience with slight room-related hiccups.

The Blue Palace is set in a stunning location offering breathtaking views of Spinalonga Island, making it an idyllic getaway. The service here is exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to cater to every need. The dining options are plentiful and varied, although breakfast can get a bit busy at times. While the facilities, including the pools and beach, are well-maintained, some navigation issues due to the hotel's sprawling layout were a minor downside.

I just returned from a week at this stunning resort, and overall, it was an incredible experience. The staff were genuinely friendly and attentive, which made our stay memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful breakfast with a fantastic view. On the downside, the coffee in the room left much to be desired, and one dining experience could have been smoother. However, the luxurious setting outweighed these minor issues, and I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

The rooms are spacious and equipped with amenities, but some details, like the lack of sufficient power outlets, could be improved.

While dining options are plentiful, prices can skyrocket, making it feel less accessible for casual dining.
