I have just returned from the Blue Bay and was thoroughly impressed with my holiday to the resort and its beautiful clifftop hotel. My partner and I were extremely anxious about visiting this hotel as we initially thought we were staying at the Elounda Bay not the Blue Bay. So when we started reading reviews of this hotel the day... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Elounda Blue Bay in Aug 08, i have been to crete a few times before (malia and ag nik) and felt that it would be nice to stay in a quiter part. Elounda is very quite along with plaka, but we hired a car for a few days which was very cheap. the receptionists... more

Fantastic holiday. The hotel is definitely a Cretan 4* so don't expect luxury, but if you want clean, friendly with the most outstanding views this is the place to come. The staff were friendly and accommodating; the rooms, pool and poolside were spotless and the food extensive. After all the talk of the 'steep hill' I was expecting a 20... more

The Elounda Blue Bay is an absolute joke and if you have booked to go to this hotel I would strongly recommend to cancel your booking as soon as possiable.

We paid a fair amount for our holiday at the '4 star' Elounda blue bay hotel and were very disappointed when we arrived. We had a very long journey and to be greeted with 2 sets of steep steps a 45 degree slope followed by 4 further sets of steps to get to our room (and drag our suitcases up)... more

We have just returned from our second stay at the Elounda Blue Bay, last year we went in October, but this year decided to go back a little earlier to capture the Cretan sun. We were not disappointed, the weather and surroundings were as beautiful as ever and the hospitality was second to none. Over the last year we have... more

We booked our holiday in January 2008, and were all very excited about our holiday, some of the reviews prior to our stay at Elounda Blue Bay could put you off, as they werent very positive, but we had a fantastic holiday . The Hotel was lovely, set into the cliff, and as we stepped out onto our balcony the... more
