It was great overall. Good food, a nice beach, nice views, comfy rooms, and good drinks. The only things that could would improve it would be not playing music at the beach all the time because the sound of the sea is nice. Other than that no complaints. Lots of stuff to do around there and the staff was incredibly nice and helpful.

Relax and unwind
Great stay - staff were lovely and amazing. Food was really good and service first class. We were not briefed that well at check in (we had a Suite) so would have liked to use the pool at the top of the resort which looks amazing. The one by reception is tired. Sadly the water in our private pool was v cold but overall we will return but would want to stay near the top of the resort. It’s high - very high but has spectacular views.

Great long weekend get away at end of April
We went for a 5 day get away at the end of April. The weather was great and the hotel was perfect. The adults only nature of the hotel ensured that we didn't have to put up with kids running around, the food was excellent for all three meals. Only 20 minute walk from Elounda town allowed us to also go to eat/shop there. Car rental service directly from the hotel was efficient. The staff very friendly and helpful. The Wednesday night show of traditional Greek music and dance was lively. The private pool on the balcony was perfect for a dip after a hot day. Great service of the receptions, managers and concierge during and after the trip. Staff spoke at least 3 languages without problem. Only potential negative is the distance from Heriaklion if you need to go there (and some of the sites around), however do not hesitate to rent a car for one or two days if necessary!

Nice hotel for a relaxing vacation
My wife and I went there for our honeymoon. The hotel is well kept and clean. The room is basic with no frills but comfortable. The housekeeping staff kept the room very clean mopping everyday. The room we got had a shared pool with the room next door. It was nice to have but we rarely used iy and only got sun in the morning so not sure if it is worth it to spend the extra money unless you come earlier in the season and its warmer. I would recomend asking for a room that is higher up on the hill if you are physically able to do the hike. The hill is pretty steep but the view is amazing. The main pool was where we were most of the time. They have a pool bar and there is always food around. Toward the end of their season in oct they do an all inclusive with includes all food and alchohol and drinks. It really made this trip affordable for us. The food was fantastic it is buffet style and they have lots of options amd it changes everyday. The beach was also very nice. Had its own bar there as well and they provided chairs and umbrellas. The hotel is within walking distance of elunda which is a great place to grab a bite. I recommend rudi's a pub that great basic bar food and has some great drinks and patrons. We made friends with a lot of folks there. You can also take a boat to spinalinga in elunda as well. Plaka has great shopping. The highed praise of this hotel is the staff. They are warm and friendly and really made our stay special. We will definitely be back.

Great hotel!
No kids or noisy teenagers, so very relaxing! Food excellent, I especially liked the Tuesdays which were Cretan themed buffet and music, NIce entertainment, a bit for every taste (I did not like the Dancers, found them a bit cheap and tacky but some seemed to like them!) All staff extremely friendly although it was almost end of the season and they have had a long season! I would absolutely recommend this hotel!

Modern. comfortable, quiet but NB steep terrain.
A good option for those looking for a quieter location some 2.5km from the Elounda strip. Not suitable for those with mobility issues due to the steep terrain. Best to go for half board. The self-service buffet works well and the food is a bit better than the average taverna. The out-of-season all inclusive package is good value.

Good Location
The food at the Elounda Blue Bay Hotel was very good. The rooms could do with an update,the floors in the rooms need tiling,they are just painted concrete,and the decor is a bit tired. I would not grade the hotel 4 star,more 3 star,but for the price we paid,we were very pleased. The hotel is not suitable for anyone with immobility,as the rooms are on a VERY steep hill.

Extremely friendly hotel
We have stayed at the Elounda Blue Bay three times over the last six years. It is always a pleasure to return there. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is good and plentiful. Rooms though a little tired are very clean and comfortable, with plenty of clean towels. The views are out of this world, what more could you ask for?

Super saubere Unterkunft ! Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir hatten die Cool Living Selection (in der Suite automatisch mit enthalten) gebucht. Das Essen in den Restaurants ist absolute Spitzenklasse, das Buffet zum Frühstück und Mittag im Greco Levante ist ebenfalls absolut top! Insgesamt können wir das Hotel wirklich weiterempfehlen. Das einzige Manko war, dass beim Greco Levante (ausschließlich für Cool Living Gäste) eventuell erweitert werden sollte, damit dort mehr Liegen hin können. Diese waren immer recht schnell besetzt. Und leider reservieren einige Leute die liegen morgens direkt um 8 und kommen dann erst teilweise um 11-16 Uhr wieder. Hier wäre eventuell eine Regelung angebracht, dass wenn man mehr als 1 oder 1,5 Stunden nicht auf der Liege ist, man die Handtücher der Gäste entfernen darf, um sich dort selbst hinzulegen. Aktuell werden, soweit ich weiß, noch 18 weitere Suiten oben gebaut, spätestens dann werden Sonnenliegen am Greco Levante wohl Mangelware sein.

Super hôtel, bien placé entre Elounda et Plaka. Chambre très agréable, propre avec tous le confort nécessaire (Lit 160, bouilloire, TV, Frigo...). La salle de bains est un peu petite mais bien agencée avec douche à l'italienne. Le service est très bon et les employés très souriants. Les repas sont magnifiques : buffets très bien achalandés et très frais... Enfin, bref, un hôtel à recommander chaudement !!

Hervorragende Lage, aber renovierungsbedürftig!
Das Hotel is sehr in die Jahre gekommen und die Bilder, die auf der Website gezeigt werden, spiegeln ca. 20% der verfügbaren Zimmer wieder, also leider nicht die Realität. Die Zimmer sind definitiv renovierungsbedürftig! Das Personal ist aber unglaublich freundlich und aufmerksam, das Buffet sehr abwechslungsreich und lecker, die Lage ist hervorragend.

Fantastisk design och utsökt mat
Mycket bra och bättre än förväntat. Vi bodde i en nybyggd del och hade en privat terass lika stor som rummet med egen pool utan insyn . Det går inte att göra mycket bättre. Utsikten var fenomenal. Rummet var fräscht och det bjöds på färsk frukt och vatten. Jag bokade ett rum med havsutsikt, jag hade aldrig förväntat mig detta rum som var nybyggt och med egen pool. Restaurangen var utöver det vanliga. Duktiga kockar som tog oss på en resa genom grekiska matkulturen under en vecka. Det var inget som fattades. Jag brukar inte äta middagar på hotell men då den ingick i priset valde vi att testa. Vi gick bara dit sen hela veckan. Mycket bra lagad mat och fint upplägg. Plus för barnfritt hotell. Service mycket bra

Albergo ben strutturato e organizzato, sul mare.
Mi sono trovato bene in generale, camere ampie e molto confortevoli, silenziose e dotate di tutto. Piscina panoramica con molti ombrelloni e sedie a sdraio. Mare accanto all'hotel dotato di tutto, compreso bar e sicurezza. Colazione abbondantissima e ottima, cena buona ma un po' standard e ripetitiva, poco pesce. Personale gentilissimo e servizievole in ogni settore. Buone anche le proposte per l'intrattenimento serale, musicale e vario. Se il prossimo anno torno da quelle parti sceglierò senz'altro questo hotel, Elounda Blu.
