Diogenis Blue Palace

This was my first time experiencing the opening of the season in a seaside destination. I chose the date of my stay in April, with the intention of relaxing, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and fresh sea air on the open beach. This stay fulfilled its purpose. Several hotels in the area were still closed and it was interesting to observe the final preparations for the opening of the main season. Friendly, always helpful staff, delicious food, pleasant stylish environment, balcony with a sea view were a bonus to the stay. I felt welcome here. I want to thank everyone, especially Lucia and Ilias.

We have all had a fantastic holiday here at Blue Palace, i would definitely come back. It is very welcoming and the staff couldn't do any more for u, nothing is too much trouble. The place is always cleaned and the pool is great for a dip and swim. The beach at the hotel is stunning, very clean and you can swim in the sea. The atmosphere is fantastic. Would recomend to anyone.

We went for a week end of April/ early May. Checkin friendly fast and carried cases to room. Room modern with lots of storage hanging and lots of drawers. Modern bathroom. Only thing missing was soap holders for shower and sink. Beds hard but got used to it. 2 pillows on each. Pool area plenty of sunbeds for when we were there at any time of day. Seating area near bar lots of seats. Inside ok for any rainy days. Pool itself was very cold but got slightly warmer as the week went on. Only gripe was steps are huge into Pool and no rail. Bar service was great as are all staff. Choice not huge but stated what was available on website before booking. Restaurant food choice very good and tasted very good. Only gripe was mostly luke warm. They need to keep warm in the trays. Entertainment was on 2 nights and same lady who was very good. Otherwise music through speakers. Every member of staff were great. All of them. Beach area ok. Sunbeds there old n some broken. Lots of seaweed but the actual sea was nice n no water shoes required. We were surprised how much we liked it aver all. Nice walk along front and to bars n restaurants. They treat you like family.

**Ελληνικά:** Η διαμονή μας στο Diogenis Blue Palace στην Κρήτη ήταν πραγματικά εξαιρετική. Το δωμάτιο ήταν πεντακάθαρο και ευρύχωρο, με εκπληκτική θέα που άφηνε άφωνο. Η πισίνα ήταν ιδανική για χαλάρωση και απόλαυση. Το φαγητό, στο πλαίσιο του all inclusive, ήταν πλούσιο και γευστικό, με πολλές επιλογές που ικανοποιούσαν όλες τις γευστικές προτιμήσεις. Η εξυπηρέτηση από το προσωπικό ήταν άψογη, πάντα ευγενικοί και πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν. Ιδιαίτερη αναφορά αξίζει στον σεφ Ηλία, ο οποίος μας κέρασε ένα μπουκάλι κρασί στην αναχώρησή μας, κάνοντάς μας να νιώσουμε ακόμα πιο ξεχωριστοί. Μια μοναδική εμπειρία που θα θυμόμαστε με χαρά! --- Our stay at Diogenis Blue Palace in Crete was absolutely fantastic.

Eine wirklich unvergessliche Erfahrung, die wir in bester Erinnerung behalten werden!

Loved this place. Staff were friendly and helpful, my room was lovely, very clean and modern. The food was good although could be a bit cold but there was a microwave. The drinks were good and it’s standard for all inclusive to be local drinks only. The pool was great although cold but that’s just what you need on those hot days. I had a great and very relaxing week and would definitely go back. Also as a solo female traveller I felt very safe and comfortable so would recommend

Poor 2* hotel at best l. No entertainment as stated when booked. Rooms very poor falling apart covered in bird poo all over balcony. Cold food, no food for children spag Bol every dinner and tea. Very poor drinks package in all inclusive. Local beer Local soft drinks Local ouzo Local brandy Local wine Local raki All very poor quality. Ended up going out every night for drinks and food as very poor quality in hotel and really boring place to stay. Please avoid it’s not what it says it is when booking.
