Take me back, please! Blue Palace is a special place, on a special island. The property, itself, is the epitome of rustic, elegant & understated luxury, complete with an expansive, organic vegetable garden, serenading cicadas, and olive trees. We were greeted at arrival with a festive sweet tea made with herbs grown onsite. The beach is tranquil and inviting, although don't expect white sand beaches, but rather a pebbly beach with gently lapping water that faces Spinalonga Island, with a rich history. It's a swimmer's beach with warm water, and you can rent paddle boards, etc., from a kiosk that's a short walk down the beach. The Cretan Feast dinner is a fun & delicious way to spend an evening at the hotel. Hotel staff is gracious, responsive & accommodating. Rooms are well-appointed and relaxing. The breakfast buffet is not to be missed, with so many deliciously fresh food options (Greek yogurt bar, fresh-baked bread & pastries, gorgeous fruit, eggs made to order) , it's a great way to start the day. I miss Blue Palace, and look forward to having the opportunity to visit again, one day.

This was our third time at the Blue Palace Hotel and we were full of expectation. At first we were a little confused, as the concept had been fundamentally changed and half of the previous area had been separated off. At first it looked like a building site and disappointment. But that changed quickly. The hotel has become quieter, clearer and more exclusive. The new concept has become more sustainable and, in a positive sense, more authentic. The staff are highly professional, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are well-kept and tastefully furnished. The cuisine in the Anthos and Blue Door restaurants is excellent and the grounds are lovingly maintained. In short: the hotel has won with the new concept and is highly recommended in every respect. If you are looking for a luxurious, relaxing holiday with peace and quiet in a paradisiacal setting, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back.

The location of Blue Palace is unbeatable in my opinion, overlooking Spinalonga island, a 5 minute walk into Plaka, and yet it also has a feeling of isolation which allowed me to immediately relax into my luxurious surrounds. I visited Blue Palace before when it was a much larger hotel. The new boutique hotel has kept all of the best features (dining outlets, private beach, great selection of accommodation types), and now these is an even more personal feeling. You quickly get to know the service staff, and they get to know you, and your preferences. 10/10 hospitality, as only the Cretans can!

Great place to relax an be spoiled by wonderful staff and adorable service! We came here for the third time and were thrilled to stay at one of the ocean view suites. We will come back for sure and will try to stay at the same room Weather was fantastic and the ocean fresh and nice to swim in. Great food at Athos and Blue Door taverna … enjoy!

The Phaea Blue Palace provides a wonderful overall experience in a superb location. Its facilities: the rooms; the restaurants; the bars; the spa; the grounds; and the beach are all outstanding. Each, immaculately well-kept and looked after. The décor is understated and entirely appropriate to the ambience the hotel succeeds in creating. The food is of the highest standard and each restaurant confers its own character on the menus. The cocktail menu includes numerous unique mixes and the wine list is extensive. It includes a wide variety of local vintages with the staff always happy to advise on selection. The pop up Farmers' restaurant in the organic garden serving traditional cuisine is a feast to behold and certainly should not be missed. The facilities are excellent, but it is the staff that make staying at this hotel an experience significantly above similar luxury establishments. Every department goes out of their way to look after you. We interacted with Housekeeping, Restaurants, Bars, Beach, Spa, Reception, Maintenance as well as the Management. In every case we received that same caring attitude from employees who are clearly proud of their hotel. This made all the difference to our stay with them and we fully intend to return.

It was in such a beautiful area, and they had wonderful and super kind staff. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was super delicious! One of the best hotel experiences i’ve ever had! My family and I had so much fun here. The view was the best, they had a beautiful lobby and pool area, and if we needed to call a taxi or book an experience the staff did everything.

Blue Palace does not exist. It has closed and rebranded for opening 2025. The existing Blue Palace is now Phaea Blue Palace. A completely different hotel which is next to The old Blue Palace. Phaea Blue Palace does not have all the amenities , swimming pool, spa etc of the closed Blue Palace. the staff are lovley but the mis selling of this property via management is terrible. Even branded items in Phaea Blue Palace is for the old hotel. During our stay the beach was very noisy due to building of a road, continuous digging from 7am. plus another new part of the road being built. You only get one small bottle of water at the beach, you can’t move sunbeds so you will either be in full sun or shade, the rest of drinks is payable on beach no refills of water. breakfast is bland, if you are a vegetarian egg - fanatic you will be ok, 4 times we asked beach staff to call buggy for transport and they failed to do so each time. high hopes but our opinion was not isolated, other clients were duped by either google search on Blue Palace or via agents. the star is for staff and also the comfortable beds.

Phea Blue Palace was Truly a revelation for me. I knew they were rebranding the hotel, but I was pleased to see that the smaller boutique feel made my stay more personalized, with the suites and common areas feeling more elevated and luxurious. the views were amazing and the staff super friendly. Food was amazing, spa treatments were sublime, and the relaxation at the beach was EXACTLY what I needed. Spinalonga Island was also a fantastic day trip, and my only regret was that I couldn't stay longer.
