The resort feels like a village on the hillside. The area is quiet and the village of Plaka is close by and walkable. We ate their each night and the food in Plaka is superb! We booked a Luxury Bungalow with pool and sea view which was delightful and lovely after a hot day on the beach.

It sits in its own gorgeous bay across from an old leper colony.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and enjoyed an exceptional time. We ate at the Isola and Andos restaurants. Food cooked over wood fire tasted subliminal. Best option to stay in the Plaka and Agios Nikolai’s areas ##### LEOPOLDO Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ting 13 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good service, poor noise isolation The location is amazing, got a beautiful view and nice swimming pool. The staff are very thoughtful and friendly, they have been well trained to provide high standard hospitality. The downside is the facility, the room is old and the noise isolation is none, you can easily hear every little noise from corridors and every little movement from upstairs, we have to wear earplugs all the nights to have a good sleep. ##### Ting Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We enjoyed our stay at Blue Palace. The staff is very friendly - especially the parking staff. There are lots of dining options on the property. The location is great. It is close to Elounda/Plaka, but not too close so it still feels private/peaceful. It has tremendous potential. The breakfast buffet is great - tons of options. Our only complaint is that everything feels very dated. Also, the 'private' pools are not very private. ##### Shannon ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ronald 13 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities You’ll love the location, the rooms are kept in great condition and clean, the beach area is really well done and ample room, the gym was well appointed and the staff were extraordinary. The only issue with this property is the design included no central walkway up the hill - so you wait for the tram up or walk up way around - although there is a secret way only the staff know, that I figured out ! I’ll definitely be back, in fact going back in 2 weeks! ##### Ronald Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nell 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I never take the time to leave reviews, but for this property I will. It's a spectacular setting, like blow your mind, and the service was outstanding -- luxury all around. Small examples -- the piano playing durning the gorgeous breakfast, live music at night, the speed boat you can hire at the end of the dock. Rooms needs a tiny bit of updating so ask to stay in the newer part of the resort, which I didn't see but assume furniture and fixtures are a bit more to date. Other than that, I couldn't believe how incredible the place was for the price... ##### Nell Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Amanda 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The property is old and lacks basics in the rooms. No connection to the TV, no speakers for music, no iron It’s about time for a refit and restyle ##### Amanda Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ross 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful resort We returned from 6 night stay. Beautiful large resort hotel. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Our bungalow room with patio was roomy and lovely view. Pools amazing, food delicious. Nearby to two villages, one within walking distance with nice restaurants. Hotel just over an hour taxi from Heraklion airport but worth it! The beach is stones but access from marina. Water crystal clear. Plenty of activities. We went to the full moon party which was fun, dj plus fireworks. My only negative would be the holding of the Sun loungers at beach. Apparently not meant to book, but they were being held with towels, books and beach bags from 9.30 until after 2. This is unfair to other guests and could easily be monitored by the towel staff. ##### Ross Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ioannis 8 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Stayed at the Sepses Suite with a private pool overlooking Spinalonga. Room + Pool were excellent, staff is fantastic, friendly and eager to help in any way they can. The only let down was the quality of the Room Service food, which was unacceptable for this hotel (Burger that was worse than that of a fast-food outlet, with bland ready made fries, a set of cheese-pies in the afternoon was clearly brought over from the breakfast buffet and reheated, not cooked from fresh). Minor gripes were the illogically placed bannisters in the balcony, that do not permit you to enjoy the fantastic view if you are seated. What is the point of installing sky-high banners that prevent guests from enjoying the view they are paying for? Same for the pool area, you are looking at a low rock wall and not the view, which however is visible when you are seated on the deck. ##### Ioannis Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Candia Park Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Candia-Park-Village.h583319.Hotel-Information) > > [Istron Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Istron-Villas.h3024473.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Marine Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Blue-Marine-Resort-Spa.h3240427.Hotel-Information) > > [Vasia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Vasia-Resort-Spa.h1103807.Hotel-Information) > > [Miramare Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Miramare-Resort-Spa.h2759399.Hotel-Information) > > [NIKO Seaside Resort MGallery - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Niko-Seaside-Resort-Crete-MGallery.h71986802.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexandros Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Alexandros-Hotel.h34552229.Hotel-Information) > > [Maritimo Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Maritimo-Beach-Hotel.h2759293.Hotel-Information) > > [Daios Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Daios-Cove-Luxury-Resort-Villas.h3300418.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury 2 person open plan apartment, private infinity pool, spectacular views](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Luxury-2-Person-Private-Open-Plan-Apartment.h34053750.Hotel-Information) > > [Mistral Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Mistral-Mare.h2717421.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Beach-Resort-Milatos.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [Elounda Garden Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Elounda-Garden-Suites.h7761271.Hotel-Information) > > [Bellevue Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Bellevue-Suites.h34124683.Hotel-Information) > > [Mare Hotel Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Mare-Olympus-Apartments.h3860435.Hotel-Information) > > [St. Nicolas Bay Resort Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-St-Nicolas-Bay-Resort-Hotel-Villas.h517311.Hotel-Information) > > [Vasia Ormos - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Vasia-Ormos-Adults-Only.h15635990.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island Concept](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-The-Island-Concept.h32401615.Hotel-Information) > > [Ariadne Beach - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Ariadne-Beach.h12829233.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Caldera Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Atlantica-Caldera-Palace-All-Inclusive.h35181792.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Royal Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Royal-Mare.h1181666.Hotel-Information) > > [Mirabello Bay Luxury Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Crete-Mirabello-Bay.h23655827.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel Meli Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Grecotel-Meli-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2564520.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Castello-Village-Resort.h1709372.Hotel-Information) > > [Karma Minoan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Karma-Minoan.h32851914.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Kalimera-Kriti-Hotel-Village-Resort.h66333.Hotel-Information) > > [Angela Suites Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Angela-Suites-Boutique-Hotel.h1226726.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Beach Art Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Minos-Beach-Art-Hotel.h530658.Hotel-Information) > > [Kitro Beach Hοtel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Sgouros.h8428810.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Palace Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Minos-Palace-Hotel-Suites-Adults-Only.h67283.Hotel-Information)
