"The hotel is very nice. It’s not convenient to have to check in 100 meters down the street or go there for breakfast or to use the pool. The noise of the airplanes going overhead is very noisy."
"We took a bit of a risk when we booked this hotel as there were no reviews available but it looked clean and spacious and was in a great location.
It turned out to be a great decision. The rooms are large, bright and airy and cleaned daily, and the air conditioning is quiet and very powerful.
We were only here bed and breakfast and the breakfast was continental style and suited us fine.
The bar staff, Alexander and Michael were great, chatty, friendly and funny without bring over bearing,...
"The staff was very friendly and Kind. The food was very good and dinner/ lunch menu changed daily so you never had the same.
The beach is just a few meters away from the hotel (2 minute walk )
I defenetly recommend this hotel ☺️

"Fabulous vacation at Diogenis Blue Palace. Captivating sea views and delightful cuisine. Chef Ilias and the entire food and beverage team (especially the hardworking wait staff) were wonderful - freshly prepared meats, seafood, pasta and authentic Greek treats (lamb, calamari, octopus, spinach pie, loukoumides, bhaklava) daily. Ilias and his staff checked on all the guests and families every day. Surroundings were constantly cleaned and beachfront was well maintained, easy access to...

Mitsis Rinela
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at mitsis rinela for a week and everything was perfect. The hotel has an amazing view of the ocean and the beach is beautiful, it literally looks like a beach club with sun mattresses. The staff is also friendly and welcoming, helping us with everything we needed (especially Maria from guest relations!). The food is tasty and the restaurants are definitely worth trying to book. We especially loved the Italian restaurant and every restaurant brought diversity in the food we ate throughout the week. Lastly, the drinks at the lounge bar are delicious and very well made, we stayed and ordered drinks every night of the week. Would definitely come again!!"
"The hotel is located between a little fishing port and couple small rocky beaches. But entering the Hotel and the Pool & seaview wake up definitely gives you a feeling of relaxation.
Alex and Max and their team have all been lovely and very friendly giving us plenty of local tips and support !!
No rush on sunbeds, plenty of availabilities and the pool is great. The restaurant/ Bar inside managed by Max is a very convenient to continue your chilling vacation and order food and drinks by the pool ! ( Thanks for the Fredo coffee! )
Small beaches to enjoy snorkeling and a Sandy beach 2 mins walking distance from the hotel.
Groceries and restaurant are available at a 5 min drive from the hotel and remain open quite late. Well positioned between Iraklio and Malia definitely a Great hotel to chill and explore various cities nearby."
Villa Eva, Luxury villa 50 meters from the sea, in a very quite area.
10/10 Excellent
"The property is exactly as advertised. We had a wonderful time. The host is extremely helpful and friendly and has a perfect balance of being available when needed without intruding.As a family we would all highly recommend this villa and location."
"From the very first minute after arriving, I got a great vibe! The hotel owner and all the staff fulfilled every one of our wishes! The hotel is clean and has a beautiful pool for guests, plus a lovely beach just 2 minutes away! There are also several excellent Greek restaurants nearby, within walking distance or a short drive.
I would like to emphasize once again the incredible kindness of the owner and staff – we truly felt at home, as if we were part of the family! Just as an example: when they recommended a nearby restaurant, the hotel owner immediately called ahead, and when we arrived, they were already waiting for us at the entrance and even gave us a discount at the end!
Once again, thank you to Mr. Nektarius and the entire hotel staff! My family and I can’t wait to come back next year!"
"From the beginning, it felt like a family atmosphere. Not just with incredible Greek friendliness, but you really felt like the employees cared and were personally invested in your experience. A local village feel with just about everything you need nearby: store, 5-6 good restaurants, stellar beach. The hotel itself was excellent for those who want to do nothing but relax. Great bar and kitchen with reasonable prices and good quality food. Morning breakfast was nice. You don’t go there if you are expecting new and luxury facilities but you go there for a great vibe and beach experience. Beach was sandy and pretty clean with chairs and umbrellas to which the hotel would deliver food and drink to. All around very happy!"
