“Wow just wow!”
Wow - it was amazing. We have stayed at some pretty special hotels but this was one of the best. From the moment we arrived we had fantastic treatment. Our car was parked for us, our luggage taken to our room and we were given a drink in the gorgeous reception area. Our room was spacious with a balcony, dressing room, huge comfy bed and lovely view. The staff went above and beyond and clearly loved their jobs - nothing was too much trouble. Everything was immaculately clean. We had the 'pop-up' dinner in the vegetable garden one night - we sat at a group table and had plates of food to share all cooked outside over wood and in outdoor ovens and all fresh local produce and great communal dining. Breakfast had a huge self service buffet of fresh produce and amazing cooked to order choice. There is a private beach and you can get a speedboat to Spignalonga island and you can eat a snack lunch on the beach. The pool is heated and the pool area is relaxing and clean. We just loved it all.

“Absolutely fantastic!”
We got married at this hotel a number of years ago and returned to celebrate our wedding anniversary. All of the staff were amazing, the Wellness centre was great, the food was fantastic and don't get me started on the private pool (deep joy!). We had a brilliant time - again.

“Fantastic view and high quality room.”
Beautiful room with a view. Light switches that actually didn’t need a manual to operate. Buggy driver Tassie was exceptional and helpful. Good for one night.

“Good stay, but didn’t meet our expectations for the price”
We stayed at Phaea Palace during the last part of our honeymoon, and while the hotel is beautiful and has some great things going for it, we left with mixed feelings—mainly because for the price we paid, we expected a much better overall experience. The room was nice, but honestly, we’ve stayed in better rooms for less (like Domus Noruz in Chania, for example). The private bathtub was completely closed off inside the bathroom, which made it hard to enjoy—it felt like we were stuck in a box, with no view or ambiance. The balcony and private pool area the is great—large and perfect for relaxing—however it lacked privacy, since people from other rooms and those walking by could see us pretty easily. The hotel itself is gorgeous, no doubt, but the rooms feel a bit dated when compared to some of the other places we stayed during this trip. On the bright side, the beach area is also beautiful and well-kept. The staff were all friendly, but our check-in experience wasn’t great. We weren’t walked through any of the hotel’s offerings—they just told us to download an app to find everything ourselves, which felt a bit impersonal, especially for a high-end stay. There are lots of services available (massages, treatments, etc.), but everything is very expensive. We had imagined this would be the most special and luxurious hotel of our honeymoon—we saved up to spend our last few nights here—but instead, it felt like we were in a place where everything came at an extra (and high) cost. So in short: if you have a flexible budget and don’t mind paying extra for every little thing, this might be a good fit. But if you’re like us—looking for something truly memorable and worth the investment—I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

We LOVED the ethos of the hotel, the friendliest staff, amazing food (no buffet dinner here!!!! Authentic Greek cuisine heaven), the personal touches and interactions with the senior management team, the unspoilt views…. Heaven. Can’t wait to go back.

“A great hotel for a family getaway”
We’ve just returned from Blue Palace Elounda and would definitely recommend. As a family of 4 with two young children (1 + 3), finding a hotel that is luxurious for the adults, but a child friendly environment isn’t always the easiest. The staff were very attentive and brilliant with the kids which makes a big difference! To name a few - Niki, Vaso, Maria and Joanna (who run the restaurants) and Maria (who runs the kids club). We visited Maria on two of the days with the little ones and they loved her - she's super warm and loving to the children and they just loved having the play area and toys around! Location was great - the small village Plaka was walkable for local restaurants and the restaurants onsite at hotel served great food. Hotel is nicely decorated, it’s just the bathrooms in the rooms that could do with a bit of modernising, but I heard that that’s in the plan soon. Overall, great hotel. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!
