"The staff at Phaea Blue and the location are what made our trip so pleasurable. The resort feels like a village on the hillside. The area is quiet and the village of Plaka is close by and walkable. We ate their each night and the food in Plaka is superb! We booked a Luxury Bungalow with pool and sea view which was delightful and lovely after a hot day on the beach. Will return."
"the best beach layout I have ever seen, the meals are excellent, and thé services in restaurants and bars are perfect, and to finish the view is amazing every days. We highly recommend this wonderful hotel."
"Beautiful, charming, delicious, relaxing experience in this hotel, everything satisfying. Foods, staffs, spa and massage experience specially Katarina. We enjoyed every moments of our 1 week stay. "
"We loved our stay at Meliti hotel, the staff was very nice, and we are already missing the wonderful view. Breakfast was lovely and different every day and the hotel was quiet and relaxing. As the hotel is located equidistant from Agios Nikolaos and Elounda you would be better with a car, although at the bottom of the street there is the bus stop for both places. Nearby tavernas we tried were also very nice. "
"Parking is an issue. The the evening stroll along the waterfront, literally across the street and a few stairs down is one of the best atmosphere spots in Crete. "
"Superb service and good food. This hotel stands out from many others in Crete for its location, close to a very pretty village with genuinely excellent tavernas. The island of Spinalonga also adds a lot of charm to the area."
"What a beautiful place. Our room was well appointedl with all amenities, including a hot tub on the porch. The staff was helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make our trip enjoyable. From the hotel it's a short walk to restaurants and the beach. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again."

"The best food in an all inclusive hotel that I think you will find in Crete. Every restaurant is actually special in its own way, and the service is exceptional. Will probably be back again sometime soon!"
"I stayed for two weeks with my 7 year old. We had a lovely relaxing time and didn’t want to leave! The hotel grounds are beautiful and spacious providing lots of entertainment options from the three pools to minature golf, tennis court, cooking classes, kids club and spa. The staff are wonderful - very caring and motivated. The food is delicious, fresh, varied and plentiful. Thank you to everyone for making the stay so delightful. We’ll be back! Nicola and Leo"
"Spent 4 nights here with my wife as part of our Honeymoon in Greece. It was absolutely splendid. Such a peaceful, wonderful resort with great amenities. The pool side is absolutely breathtaking and so relaxing. There is a great pool bar nearby and the servers bring you drink and food in very timely fashion.
I had originally a sea view only room and they upgraded us to a shared plunge pool room for free. This was an awesome upgrade. We used the plunge pool a bunch and its basically your own private pool.
The room is super comfortable. Don't mind the key-powered room because once you get and put your card in then turn on the AC, massive vents cool the room in minutes.
The breakfast buffet was always excellent with so many tasty options sure to please anyone. We ate at the Cretan restaurant they have there and it was so romantic. The food was extraordinary and among the best we had had on Crete.
There are a lot of awesome picture and video taking opportunities on the resort too. Sure to make your friends and family jealous.
Some cool local beaches nearby with great views and clear waters - just ask the staff there and they will tell you the options.
Only 30 min from the Heraklion airport - no need to deal with the huge journey to Chania if you are not so inclined to go there, can have just as much of a great time at Abaton.
Highly recommend! We will be coming back! "
