The beach and pool areas were very accomodating in regards to food/drink ordering. Proper maintenance was obvious on the grounds as we ways saw staff out keeping things well manicured and taken care of. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite with a private pool for our last two nights which was quite beautiful. We would definitely recommend the Royal Blue to anyone considering a vacation in Crete. ##### Aleksandar S Stayed 10 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georg 25 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities War super Urlaub in diesem hervorragenden Hotel! ##### Georg Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ben 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hervorragend ##### Ben Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 100% recommend! Beautiful hotel, staff are so friendly and helpful. Facilities great, hotel feel is laid back and luxurious but not fussy. Very clean and beautifully kept grounds. Location is great 30 minute walk to beautiful little town Panormo which has plenty restaurants, bars and a few shops. 30 minute drive into the city of Rethymno. I highly recommend this hotel for a relaxed base to explore Crete, we stayed for 1 week and felt we could have easily stayed another few days. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af4ada10-de1c-4334-87df-dc0e089d7e54-1751746685657.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katherine Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Vanessa 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Veldig gode fasiliteter, fantastisk ren sand strand, veldig stille og ingen bølger. Litt lite senger ved bassenget. Buffe restaurant med utvendig balkong og utsikt over havet gjør at det er ok å spise en buffé middag, maten var ok, frokost ikke så bra. Vil si at maten var ikke tilfredsstillende. Men verst av alt var prisene på mat og drikke utenfor pakken ( vi hadde halv pensjon) det var norske priser, brukte ca kr 35k i tillegg på familie på 4 i 2 uker dvs bare på lunsj og drikke/vin til middag, og vi tok kun vann til lunsj. Det var en utrolig kul bar ved stranden med bra musikk men nesten ingen var der, underholdning og stemning om kvelden var non existent og det bør en ha når hotellet er så isolert. God ferie men mye som kan forbedres så kan ikke helt anbefale den. ##### Vanessa Stayed 14 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya 20 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel was absolutely amazing.
