Our wedding anniversary

The most outstanding we could have. The resort is huge with 2 public pools : one with fresh water and the biggest with sea water. We rent an accommodation with a private pool (sea water) with sea sigh. The hotel is located closed to the sea with a private beach with lot of transats. You could even order your meal or drinks from it ! The team crew is always welcoming and helping. They thrive to find solutions and are committed to help you on any requests!
You feel confortable on the entire resort: Calm and neat. We went there for our wedding anniversary and the price with it !

Clean, Tidy and Very Quiet

Lovely hotel, second visit, the last being 2023. The hotel is well spread out over a large area so you dont feel crowded. It is Very quiet generally so may not be everyones taste. The food (buffet restaurant) is excellent and the food was a very high standard. The general area is spotless and rooms very clean and tidy. If there was one moan, it was the 'Adult Only' pool was populated by kids on the last day. We didnt complain as staff were walking through the area and didnt say anything to them. It was our last day anyway so didnt worry too much about it, however when talking to other guests at the airport it did appear that others were annoyed by this.

40th birthday getaway

We spent 3 nights at The Royal Blue, one of which was my 40th birthday. We had an amazing stay. Our room was absolutely incredible - the private pool made the stay for us, thank you so much! We ate 2 nights at the buffet and both me and my husband agreed it was the best we have had at a hotel - I like fish and he prefers meat, both had so many amazing and delicious choices. On my birthday night we ate at Asterias - it was exceptional (the food, the view and the staff!) Happy hour at Thea Bar is a must - incredible drinks from Demetris. We would love to stay again next time we are in Crete.

Home from home just perfect

This has to be the best place to stay in Crete. From the moment we arrived we felt like we had come home. This was our fifth year staying here and we have booked to go back in June 2027. We had a superior garden room which was spotless, the housekeeping team did an amazing job and to a very high standard. When going for breakfast you are greeted by staff who will show you to your table. They're always so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. It was really nice to see Nikos again, he came straight over to see us. The food choices are unreal, there really is something for everyone. The Greek night is a must!! Beautiful traditional food and fabulous Greek dancing and music while you watch the most amazing sunset. We really enjoyed Thea bar this year, we had the best cocktails made by Dimitris. Can't wait to see what he comes up with for next year. The DJ in Thea bar was brilliant!! Massive thank you to him. We had the pleasure of meeting Eirini, what a fabulous young lady she is. Hope to see her again next year, shes a wonderful member of the Royal Blu team. During the day we went to the pool bar for lunch. Great choice of food! The staff are fantastic. Miltos who always goes above and beyond. He makes sure that our stay is perfect. Any questions we have Miltos will help. Massive thank you to Nikos and Babis also, plus everyone else who without them our holiday would not be the same. Roll on 2027
