Sheer luxury

Advantages: Too many to mention
Disadvantages: A bit pricy!

...spent a week at the Blue Palace July 2005 for our honeymoon. We could not have picked a better place. We chose a room with a private infinity pool, which was lovely with a stunning view of the tiny island of Spinalonga. The rooms were impeccable, and clean. Breakfast was included in the price which we ate on our patio every morning (4 euro charge) as opposed to the buffet style restaurant. For ony 4 euros it is well worth it. Although the hotel was ...
...can always find a lounger by the pool, comy sofa to sit on by the bar etc. The complex has a number of restaurants including an a la carte restaurant. We ate several times at the restaurants but preferred to either take a tax into Elounda (10 euro taxi) or the 2 minute stroll down the road to Plaka, a sleepy fishing village. The fish dishes in the restaurants in both Plake and Elounda were delcious and very reasonably priced. Only one thing, if ...

My experiences at this hotel.

Advantages: Beautiful surroundings, and very clean
Disadvantages: Not much of a beach.

The hotel is situated in amazing surroundings that take your breath away; mountain rages surround the hotel and its area, Elounda. However the employees, I found to be quite rude and unpleasant, at time especially to children. Nevertheless, the food was faultless with plenty of options for people to choose from. The hotel was very clean and with beds changed everyday. Also, there were pleanty of facilities frelly available to use. The swimming pool, ...
...soaking up the sun. Children were also entertained because there was a kids pool and also a kids clud, and children could participate if they wanted to. They were not forced into participating which somtimes can spoil the holiday for kids because they dont want to join in. Howver, the beach not far from the hotel did not live up to my expectations because there was no sand. It was simply a huge rock by the sea. Although, there were plenty of water ...

Fab time would go again !!

Advantages: Variety of things to do !
Disadvantages: price

We went here in 2006. Me, my partner and our 8 year old son. We had a fab time. Loved every minute of it. Our son was in his element with the water slides. The staff/reps were fab and made a real effort to get to know you, and we had a laugh every night. There is a club where your children can go in the evning for a few hours whilst you have a little 'me' time. We chose not to do this as a personal preference although that has nothing to do with ...

Fantastic view on the port

Advantages: Very nice hotel, great value for money
Disadvantages: candles in the terrace would have been a +.

...Crete where I stayed in Casa Leone Hotel in Chania. The hotel has 5 rooms so it is very feeling like home. The room we were in is the honey moon suite. Fantastic terrace overlooking the port. We spent many start of evening there have some wine we could store in the fridge that is in the room. The hotel provides you with glasses and corksrew. This was very romantic. The room is great too but I didn't spent much time in it. The bed is very large and ...
...is not repettivie and it makes you feel even more at home. The yogurt was delicious. The main room of the hotel has very high ceiling and a column in the middle. Venitian style I was told. To be honest it is very beautiful. Staffis fantastic too and you have free internet. Excellent value for money. website: casa-leone.com I believe. ...

Despo Hotel is my only getaway.

Advantages: Its quiet and very family friendly.
Disadvantages: There is a main road in front of Despo it would be better with a proper crossing.

Despo Hotel in gouves is my only get away. I love to stay at Despo as the people are so friendly and the hotel is safe and private. As it is not a massive hotel (74 rooms) you can really relax when you have children. My little girl loves to come hear for our holidays. The staff are so lovely and very friendly they know who you are from the moment you check in and always say hello. The rooms are lovely and clean, you can see the sea from all the front ...
