This place is amazing. It's luxury upon luxury. It has everything you need right at your doorstep, if you're not worried about exploring the island you can stay here your entire trip and be thoroughly satisfied. It has its own beach that is sheltered from swell so it's nice and calm. Perfect for kids and snorkelers alike! The restaurants they have are all 5 star and the food is amazing. Highly recommend this resort!

We stayed at The Royal Blue Resort from July 20–26 and had a wonderful time. The resort is spacious yet well-organized, never feeling too spread out. We met lovely people throughout our stay – whether at the bars, in the restaurants, on the beach, or during sports activities – and the atmosphere was always open and friendly. One of the highlights for us was the staff: professional, warm, and genuinely kind without ever being pushy. We had great conversations and felt welcomed on a personal level, almost like being part of a family. What really stood out was the regular phone check-ins from the hotel asking if everything was fine or if we needed anything – something we’ve never experienced before. The food was great, with a good quality rotating buffet that kept things interesting. The drinks, however, were quite pricey. We also booked a massage and a manicure during our stay. Both treatments were excellent, and once again, the staff was incredibly kind and professional. There’s a small shop on-site where you can find basic holiday items like snacks, drinks, sun lotion, souvenirs, and some knock-off branded clothes and accessories. Just outside the resort, there’s a slightly larger store with a wider selection – still no fresh fruit or vegetables, but a good range of cosmetics, sweets, beach gear (like snorkels, swimsuits, hats), spices and more souvenirs. We loved the layout of the resort – the individual buildings give it a village-like charm, allowing for privacy while naturally bringing people together at shared spaces like the beach or breakfast. It creates a very special vibe, especially when you’ve made a few connections. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing yet social holiday in a beautiful setting.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it. We arrived very early and were warmly welcomed—able to leave our bags, use the beach facilities, and even invited to enjoy breakfast on our first day, which was such a kind touch. The rooms were clean, spacious, and the sea view was absolutely beautiful. The hotel’s private beach was lovely and never felt overcrowded. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful each morning, with lots of fruit, vegetables, and a drink of choice included. My partner especially loved the lattes, while I couldn’t get enough of the iced chocolates! We booked half board, and although dinner drinks came at an extra cost (and were a bit pricey), the dinner options were varied, always fresh, and consistently delicious. The desserts in particular were a real highlight. All in all, a relaxing and enjoyable stay—we’d definitely come back!

What an amazing 5 nights at the Royal Blue! From the moment we checked in, Anastasia and her fantastic team made us feel like royalty! The service was impeccable and the food was just delicious with so much variety - we especially loved trying all the traditional Greek cuisine. My husband had his birthday while there and the whole team made it extra special. I recommend trying the floating breakfast!! The view, beach and stunning sunsets topped off our visit. We will be back!!

We stayed for two weeks in this magnificent establishment, which resembles a Cretan village overlooking the sea. We had already stayed here two years ago, and the experience is still just as pleasant. The staff is incredibly kind, especially in the dining areas. They remembered our habits, were full of thoughtful attentions for our four-year-old son (Hugo), and always kept a smile on their faces, no matter the circumstances. We had a room with a shared pool that featured a garden area in front of the terrace, which gave the impression of having a beautiful private space. The layout, with its small alleys and neighborhoods centered around a square and a pool, contributes to a feeling of spaciousness. You don't feel crowded or notice the presence of other guests, even though they are certainly there when you go to the beach or the main pools. But even there, it's easy to find sunbeds and space to relax. The hotel's private sandy beach is sheltered by stone jetties that break the waves, which is perfect for children or for snorkeling. Musical groups perform regularly, providing great evening entertainment. We particularly enjoyed the service at the Lobby Bar, bathed in the splendid light of the breathtaking sunsets. The proximity to Panormo (served by a "little train") or Rethymno (accessible by bus or taxi) is a real plus. At this level of quality, you have to look for the small details to find areas for improvement. We feel that the reception could do a better job of communicating about the Kids' Club activities, as a lack of information means few children attend. But these are minor details, and ultimately, we wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful destination!

NEGATIVES first - This hotel is NOT 5* for a number of reasons which I will go into. Firstly something this hotel is also not is disability aware!!! Our holiday was ruined by the rude and obnoxious beach side manager (vasilis) who because we left the beach for 40 minutes to go back to the room (good 10min walk each way!) to tend to my disabled sons needs in private he took it upon himself to remove not only our towels from the beach sunbeds but also put personal belongings like my handbag with personal items in which were hidden out of view under the sunbed and some of my sons stoma bag items also. When we returned to find this I found my belongings dumped on top of the unattended towel station in the blazing sunlight for anyone to have just pick up and take, this also meant that some of my sons stoma bags had actually melted round the seals, when I spoke to the beach manager about this he accused me of being gone 2 hours even though I had texts to show to my daughter saying that I was on my way to the room not 40mins previously! The sunbeds we were using had then been taken and there were no others close to the facilities for my son to access!! The beach manager was not interested in what I had to say and was very rude and arrogant towards me even though I was visibly upset and trying to explain about my son and he just shrugged, laughed and walked away. Needless to say this ruined the vibe of what should have been a lovely holiday and irreversibly has tarnished the memory of it!!!! I did have a conversation with the manager at the time Anastasia who was very apologetic however a free cocktail each as way of an apology was nowhere near enough!!!!!! Now to the hotel. It is tired and needs lots of tlc in places. The facilities are great but most definitely NOT 5*. The area round our shared pool was filthy. There were some dirty glasses on a wall waiting to be taken away that were literally there all week, the tiles round the pool were broken and chipped and if they moved more bits came away and you ended up standing on them in bare feet (think standing on LEGO!!!!) the pools themselves were dirty including the main pool oh and on the pools they are ALL salt water. And if you have young kids they cannot stand up in the main pool as it’s too deep and the baby pool is obviously just that!!… for babies! There is also no disabled access into any of the pools so be warned!!! The changing facilities for late check out down at the gym are shockingly bad for supposed 5*. There were 2 showers in the ladies locker room neither of which had a door which locked and then same again in the men’s and my 15 yr old son had to come to the ladies so I could watch the door whilst he showered for safety. After you’ve finished your shower there is nowhere private to get changed and i had to shut the locker room door and sit behind it whilst my son and daughter got changed and vice versa. NOT great for teenagers who want privacy!!!!! The room was cleaned daily howev

My third time traveling to The Royal Blue, and each time has been better than the last. The absolute professionalism and warmth of every employee on-site is so appreciated, the care that everyone takes to ensure that the most precious days of your year are spent in total luxury and comfort is something that I have never experienced anywhere else in my decades of luxury travel. The value for price is also absolutely outstanding in every way. Each year they strive to improve on years past, and it's notable how successful they are. Do not hesitate. Book your trip. In 2019 I wrote that this will be my address in Crete for many years to come - and luckily that has been true! Thank you especially to Anastasia and Demetris who made me feel truly welcomed. See you guys again soon :)

We spent 11 wonderful relaxing days in Crete at the Royal Blue Resort and it was the best hotel we have ever been to! We had a side sea view, which was very clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. The views (especially the sunsets) are absolutely spectacular and the hotel is so peaceful and relaxing despite having so many people there it never feels overcrowded. We never had to fight for a sun-bed or lounger, there was so much room and the resort is laid out almost like a little village going down to the sea. The food and drinks were amazing and the staff were so fantastic, really friendly and welcoming. We ate in the main restaurant for dinner but we also really enjoyed the seafood restaurant by the pool. The pools and beach area are so tidy and you can order food and drinks to where you are sitting so you can really relax and enjoy yourself. We also had a massage at the spa and used their jacuzzi pool which was really fun, and their therapists were excellent and very respectful, it was a wonderful relaxing massage. The area is quite remote I would recommend hiring a car to explore local areas. We rented one from the hotel which was easy to do. There is a bus stop (picks you up from the next hotel along and drops off near the royal blue) that goes to rethymno. And there’s a train shuttle that goes into the local town of Panormo. We drove into the mountains to a little village of Margarites which was gorgeous and full of beautiful ceramics shops. I would recommend to everyone the Royal Blue resort and will definitely be returning next year!
