    Our first trip to Crete

    rating27 May 2026

    The resort was beautiful. We loved our time there. The room was amazing. The staff were all so accommodating and friendly. House keeping did an excellent job cleaning and got our room cleaned everyday efficiently. The breakfast buffet was excellent such a great array of food. The bar at the main pool was very nice. The staff there were very attentive to us. Over all I would stay there again.

    Otherwise, a nice place to stay with great food choices and quality.

    rating23 May 2026

    We used Royal Blue as overnight stopover; having taken long flight. I checked in at 18:00 and out at 08:00 the next morning. Quite a protracted and lengthy check in. Going into great detail to explain facilities such as the spa, sauna and pools (that close at 19:00). None of which I even intended to use (or could use) in my short overnight stay. But most bizarre of all was the insistence of the receptionist to obtain our room number as we walked though reception this morning. I have never been asked to provide a room number to walk through reception in any hotel in the world, nor in my life. Guests should be free to walk through a hotel reception without being required to provide their room number. I could have understood their ask if I was checking out; or if I approached the reception.... Otherwise, a nice place to stay with great food choices and quality. Barbara Dunner, Marketing at The Royal Blue Resort & Spa Crete, responded to this review Dear kevinlQ,Thank you for sharing your feedback following your recent stay with us.We are pleased to read that you enjoyed the hotel overall, especially the quality and variety of the food offerings.On the other hand, we are sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly after a long journey. Please accept our sincerest apologies. We appreciate your comments, which will be forwarded to the team for review, and to prevent this kind of issue in the future.

    A great hotel - don't miss it!

    rating23 May 2026

    Crete is a beautiful Island and The Royal Blue in Panormo is one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The rooms, facilities and staff are second to none - particularly the staff were so helpful. A great private beach and a selection of wonderful swimming pools to suit everyone. The buffet is magnificent in both quality and selections on offer - a real triumph. A car is useful to discover the great sights around and about. We will be making this our "go to" holiday hotel. A wonderful stay. Thoroughly recommended.

    The Ultimate Cretan Spa Experience

    rating21 May 2026

    Our one week stay was fantastic. The hotel has panoramic views of the sea and epic sunsets marvel at.It seems they have thought of everything to make an effortlessly enjoyable holiday.The rooms were spotless and well equipped and beds were comfortable. Our balcony had a partial sea view.The spa was clean and laid back. Staff were always on hand and happy to help.The quietness and calm really stood out. Pools weren't packed with people and we could always find a sun bed. The saltwater pool was a real highlight and the beach with protective sea walls allowing you to swim even when the sea was rough. Staff were very attentive. The food and drink was very high quality and varied with local dishes and wine.This is a genuine five star hotel and we had a five star experience. We'll definitely be heading back soon. Barbara Dunner, Marketing at The Royal Blue Resort & Spa Crete, responded to this review Dear adriand,Thank you very much for your wonderful review.
