This was the resort we needed to kick-start our honeymoon the right way. They have it all, golf-buggy door service, multiple pools, day beds and sun beds, cocktails by the pool, multiple restaurants and bars, buffet breakfast. The bed was a little firm but our experience here was still very amazing. The staff are so helpful and so kind, we would gladly come back!

The entire property and staff exuded and promoted a sense of relaxation which was really something we were looking for. The beach and pool areas were very accomodating in regards to food/drink ordering. Proper maintenance was obvious on the grounds as we ways saw staff out keeping things well manicured and taken care of. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite with a private pool for our last two nights which was quite beautiful. We would definitely recommend the Royal Blue to anyone considering a vacation in Crete.

We celebrated our 12th Anniversary at the royal blue and I couldn’t have wished for a better place to be at. The people made us feel so welcomed and we got pampered every single day. The villa with private pool was breath taking. Clean and very cute. The view was breathtaking with beautiful sunsets - perfect endings of the day! The food at the restaurants fresh & delicious. But the staff topped it all with their friendliness. Anastasia from guest relations, Maria from reservation, and Jannis & Babis from the bar need a special mention as they made our stay even more special with their helpfulness & friendliness.
