Blue Elephant

The only small thing I'd improve is storage in the rooms. They're huge, but there's limited space for clothes, and some drawers would be ideal. Otherwise, we had a great stay. The view from the top of the small hill is fantastic, and the setting around the main pool and private pools feels serene and relaxed. In July the pools were a perfect temperature. It's quiet here but still very close to Almyrida's bars and restaurants. Reception were very helpful, and the bar and waiting staff were brilliant and friendly. Breakfast was top notch, lunch was great too, and the drinks had a good choice and quality.

We had one of the best holiday stays I've ever experienced and would love to come back. Our spacious private-pool room was relaxing, and service was outstanding. The reception team were all lovely, Penny especially, while the restaurant staff were attentive and housekeeping discreet. The village strip is just around the corner, and I hadn't expected such a great choice of places to eat. Thanks to everyone for making the stay unforgettable.

Breakfast was good, and the rooms felt modern, clean, and luxurious. We had a lovely view, too. A few more sunbeds around the pool would be welcome.

The staff made us feel especially well looked after, always warm, professional, and ready to help. Blue Elephant was a wonderful place for our family trip to Crete last month, and we’re already discussing a return. Our room was spacious and elegant, with all the details thoughtfully taken care of. The pool and spa were beautifully designed and kept in great condition, and the views over the Cretan coast made sunrise and sunset feel magical. We felt comfortable and pampered throughout. It was an unforgettable stay, and Blue Elephant is a great fit if you’re after a relaxing, luxurious family break in Crete.
