My favorite thing about this place is the view of Spinalonga island. I like that the hotel is sort of set in an alcove and when you're on the beach huge hills are surrounding you, with Spinalonga island as the centerpiece. Some people may not like the stony beach, but I thought it was pretty, and it's not hard to... More

(+)This is a hotel i choose to go with my family often in the summer. The hotel has great gardens and is great place for swimming in the sea. The people of this hotel are very happy and polite. Nice place for single hand sailing. Great place for kids (-) the food in the buffer restaurant is definitely not a... More

Loved the food, great choice and everything we ate was perfectly cooked. Lovely view from our balcony but be warned that the climb to the hotel reception and then to the rooms are very steep, we were really puffing and we were only on the 300's definitely wouldn't have made it any higher. You can take the lift to 2nd... More

My girlfriend and I holidayed here in mid July for two sun soaked weeks. The hotel is set in a beautiful location, clean and very well maintained with stunning views over the bay, especially from the pool area and dinning terrace. The food was exceptional with a wide selection to suit all tastes at both breakfast and dinner! The staff... More

The only disadvantage in this hotel is it's being kind of steep to reach, yet it's being on the slope is also it's big advantage! The rooms are simple and clean, and the view to the bay is breathtaking!!! The pool is nice, so are the little pools attached to some types of the rooms. The people running the place... More

Just returned from a week on holiday at this hotel and found it perfect-the views, the food the staff-exceptional value for money ! We read all the reports beforehand and managed to secure a low level room to avoid the steep hill-tennis courts are at the very top if your interested.Nice mini market for needy purchases but 20min walk into...

Just back from a week at the Elounda Blue Bay, and feeling very relaxed! Excellent array of food, both breakfast & dinner, and the snack bar offered a good selection at lunch time. The reception staff, especially Monika, were more than helpful- I would even say exceptional. My partner wanted to play golf at the Porto Elounda, which she organised... More

Spent a week in Elounda Blue Bay and throughly enjoyed it. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The hotel was in a very steep position so would be definetly not suitable for guests with walking difficulties. On the plus side the views were spectactular! Rooms were clean and food was ok. I would stay at this hotel again. More

I spent 10 days at the Elounda Blue Bay Hotel in August with my husband, 18 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Having read Victoria Hislop's book 'the island' I was fascinated by being able to see the former leper colony from our balcony. I re read the book whilst there and visited the island which brought it... More

You are definitely in better shape when you leave this hotel. It is situated on a hillside with a steep entrance up from the main road. More stairs and slopes have to be walked until you reach your room. You can skip a few stairs by taking the elevator two floors up from the reception. Taxis and buses are driving... More
