Blue Elephant Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

This place was highly recommended. Exceeded our expectations. Food was out of this world and portions were good. Service was amazing, and servers were very friendly. Best meal we had on our trip by far. If I could give it 6 stars I would. Definitely worth the price.

OMG. !!! You must go x What an amazing meal we had. This is 1,000 times better than any Michelin in England. Michaela was a truly inspiring and helpful waitress, advising on wines etc And suggesting the best pudding. All the staff who’s name I didn’t catch were the best xxxxx

Amazing. Stellar views of mountains, valley, sea. Very boutique in feel but still pragmatic. It is on a bit of an incline but stairs to help manage. Amazing amenities, and beautiful views to the sea. Rooms are very well laid out, chic, and comfortable. Good reliable wifi. Beautiful infinity pool/lounge space overlooking sea view. Nice restaurant and with really delicious breakfast that changed up a little bit every day for some nice variety. Variety of room types including private balconies and private and semi-private (shared with adjacent room) plunge pools. This was a very luxurious feel. Understandably some have view of rooftop of other rooms but sea was still visible. If possible request for most front facing ones for best views - in our preference - (but all are nice). Clean, quiet, friendly, attentive. Then there is the stellar staff to match the quality of the hotel-resort. Everyone was amazing, friendly, smiling and helpful and really made the experience that extra level of elevation. Penny at the reception jumped through hoops to make things happen and we are very appreciative of this kind of effort. The friendliness and well paced engagement of other staff gave the resort setting all the more warm and welcoming feel including shout-outs to Claudio, Bruno, Pavlos, Michaela and others. Thank you all for a magnificent stay! Highly recommend.

The hotel is very nice, clean, modern and has an amazing view. It’s definitely higher class. Two things stood out: the exceptional friendliness of the staff (shoutout to Penny at the reception for making our vacation a pleasure right from the start) and the unique qualities of the chef. We ate in the restaurant of the hotel for 4 out of the 7 nights of our stay because it was so good. The food (& cocktails & service!) are of the same quality you can find in the classier or even Michelin-star restaurants. Wish I would have had the opportunity to tell him that in person. Also the breakfast was such a delight with lots of variety every day. We’re definitely making plans to return there one day.

Great place to stay, nice and very clean rooms; everything you need is provided. Housekeeping team cleans the room every day. Swimming pool is beautifull and plenty of sun loungers are available. Almyrida is on walking distance with a big variety of restaurants. The Blue Elephant team is amazing, very friendly and helpfull for all your needs. Their own restaurant is a little bit more expensive then the local ones but it’s worth it: quality/ price is amazing. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choice. This is a recommendation for all travellers visiting North Crete.
