Blue Palace

My wife and I went to the Blue Palace for our honeymoon and we could not have picked a better hotel. Decor is tasteful, yet luxurious. Our room was fantastic. Large room with pure Egyptian cotton sheets on the bed. The bathroom was amazing with a mirror window which you could open to see Spinalonga whilst in the shower. i went elounda through http://eloundaisland.gr

My husband and I went to the Blue Palace for our honeymoon and we could not have picked a better hotel. Decor is tasteful, yet luxurious. Our room was fantastic. Large room with pure Egyptian cotton sheets on the bed. The bathroom was amazing with a mirror window which you could open to see Spinalonga whilst in the shower.
We opted for a private pool which I would definitely recommend. The pool was larger than I expected for a private pool and was an infinity pool overlooking Spinalonga. You also have private sunloungers on your balcony as well as table and chairs for total relaxation.
Towels and bed linen can be replaced up to twice daily. However, you can collect pool/beach towels on said locations, as well as being given to you in your rooms.
The food was lovely and I would definitely recommend the Lobster night at L'Orangerie, for any crustacean fan! Seven courses were served, and were all delicious; a very romantic and intimate evening.
I would also suggest a trip to Spinalonga. This fascinating island was a leper colony until 1953 and holds centuries of history.
I could not complain about the hotel. One day we had a powercut (a common event in Crete) the hotel ensured people could travel around the resort by providing golf buggy rides and gave every client a free bottle of wine for any inconvenience caused.
I would agree that the panoramic life is too slow, but it is impossible to become aggravated in such a beautiful hotel!

This is a beautiful hotel. A real 5 star experience. There is great attention to detail everywhere down to the endless supply of Molton Brown toiletries. There is a small fishing village Plaka within 5 minutes walk and Elounda is a short taxi ride away at 6Euros each way. The staff at the hotel are very helpful. We had two rooms 410 and 411 and they had fab views over to Spinalonga. We did not have private pools and I was glad because the pools did look small and shallow and the hotel pools are all excellent anyway.
We were half board and traded some of our half board meals for meals at the a la carte restaurants which reception sort out for you with no bother. This made a nice change from eating in the same restaurant every night (although it is a lovely place with excellent service). The only problem (and this is minor) is that the glass lift down to the beach is a bit slow and hot when full and the shop down by the beach is limited and really expensive.
We walked to the supermarket in Plaka or got bottles of water from the bar to keep in our fridge in our room. I was worried that it may be a bit quiet for my two sons (teenagers) but they loved it too. We hired a car for 2 days from Hertz at the hotel, easy to drive in Crete. Overall, a great holiday.
