A great stay here in Crete, if you’re planning to come here from Heraklion I suggest renting a car (around 1 hour and 30 minutes from there). The resort is stunning, all new and with attentive staff. The food offered at the buffet was great, many options and with excellent desserts. The room was modern and stunning, I loved the pool on the balcony. The beach is long and stunning with nice beach beds. Overall I loved my stay here.

A Memorable 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration** My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Creta Blue Boutique Hotel from March 27-april 7 2025 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality provided by George, the owner, was truly exceptional. George went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable, arranging transportation to and from the airport, organizing a rental car, and providing a comprehensive guide to explore the breathtaking island of Crete. His dedication to making us feel welcome and cared for at this charming, family-owned boutique hotel. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our luxurious room featured a beautifully updated bathroom, a spacious living area, and a private balcony that offered stunning views of both the pool and the ocean. The elegant design and attention to detail created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. We stayed for 11 nights, and every moment was filled with joy and tranquility. The Creta Blue Boutique Hotel is truly a hidden gem that combines personalized service with exquisite accommodations, and it made our anniversary celebration an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this extraordinary hotel to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury and authentic Cretan hospitality. Thank you, George, and the entire Creta Blue Boutique Crew!
