We had a wonderful stay at the Royal Blue resort, the whole hotel area is stunning! the beach is beautiful and very convenient. Perfect place to relax. Breakfasts are delicious with a great view and we also loved the greek table to choose food from. You can also rent a basketball/tennis court, great spots for a picnic as well :) Everyone is very friendly and the location outside of the city is actually an advantage. We would love to come back some day.

“Checked In… and Never Wanted to Check Out!”
ALERT! ⚠️ There is a serious risk that you will not want to go back home after staying at The Royal Blue Resort & Spa! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome and at home. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, and when our child got sick during the stay, they went above and beyond to support us and accommodate our needs — something we will never forget. The buffet was excellent, with great variety and quality, and the resort itself had everything we could possibly wish for. It is the kind of place where you can just relax, enjoy the sunshine, the good food, and the wonderful service without feeling the need to go anywhere else. We would love to come back again one day — thank you to the whole team for making our stay so special! 💙

“Wonderful stay at a beautiful resort in Crete with great staff, food, location and amenities!”
The Royal Blue is beautifully designed like a little village on a hill in nice walking distance to the pool and sea. The rooms and restaurants are beautifully furnished, the staff is very friendly and cordial, yet professional and the food is diverse and very tasty. We also really appreciated our warm welcome at the hotel. A buggy-driver came to pick us up and bring us to reception, where we received two welcome drinks and some sweets. We even got an upgrade to the presidential suite for free which included a private hot tub on our balcony. All in all it was an amazing stay and we would love to come back for another trip!

“A dream vacation that we will never forget”
We are a family with two grown children in our 20s. Before we arrived, we corresponded with the hotel staff and they were very nice and listened to our needs. When we arrived at the hotel, our meeting with the staff was amazing and welcoming. The staff informed us that they were upgrading us to the most luxurious unit, the Indigo Residence Sea Front with Individual Pool. Only when we got to the room did we realize the size of the upgrade. The amazing rooms, the sea view, the luxurious balcony, private parking, and of course the private pool, which was amazing. The hotel staff was attentive to all our needs throughout the vacation, including even preparing breakfast for us on the day of departure, when we left very early in the morning. For us, this was the best vacation we had as a family. And we will definitely return to the hotel, and of course we highly recommend coming and staying at the hotel. For us, it was nothing less than perfect

Amazing staff and wonderful facilities in an authentic 5-star result. The breakfast buffet is wonderful, with a plethora of high quality options. The restaurants and bars are quite good and varied. The hotel staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The pools are very nice, but can get crowded during peak hours. The tennis courts were free to use and completely empty during our stay. Great place for a luxury stay.

“Excellent”
The resort is beautiful, the main pool is exceptional, all facilities are really good, breakfast is totally exegerated in every aspect, great service, kind and very nice staff everywhere. The main dining room dinner is also very rich, but the alla carte restaurants are beautiful and their food is at Chef Restaurants level. They have an amazing sunset bar with DJ and great drinks. The alla carte restaurants are so good and have such amazing atmosphere that we ate all dinners in the 2 restaurants. Not cheep but definitely worth the money.
