An unforgetable experience of genuine greek hospitality. Food in the hotel is amazing compared to the touristic tavernas of the area as it is cooked by the owners mother and its really homemade. Personal attention to the guests which are not treated like room numbers but as real guests!!!!

The Best of both worlds - This hotel is located on the edge of a beautiful Cretian village while at the same time being just 10 minutes walk to the main town of Hersonissos. Lovely hotel, with great views, staff, food, pool and rooms. I will definitely be heading back to Creta Blue...

We had some troubles to find the hotel during night when arriving because the coordinates given at the site of booking.com were not correct. After a phone call to Georges he sent his uncle to guide us with a scooter to the hotel. We appreciated this. The hotel has large duplex rooms arranged in a number of bungalow groups built on a hill. The pool is very nice arranged with a view on the sea. The owner Georges is very helpfull and gives good tips for trips. The special meal that his mother cooked on Sunday night was excellent and dining besides the pool is very pleasant. We could sleep with open window to minimize the use of the airco. We had a room on the top of the hill, so we had to walk a lot of steep stairs to get to our bungalow. Definitely you need to be fit to do this walking, especially if you arrive with your heavy suitcases.

Very friendly staff, nice location, small and peacful place, no crowd, perfect for relaxation. If your are big on breakfast, expect just a core, continental breakfast. No problems with that but if you like the buffett type, you will not get that. Do not get me wrong. In the continental breakfast class, it is perfect.

Warm welcoming family atmosphere but very relaxed as well. Lovely room, and fairly priced. In a beautiful location, nice and quiet but with a charming town nearby. Great pool, and the food is outstanding - the best I've had in Greece

In Creta Blue Boutique Hotel,we liked most the swimming pool(with the perfect view in all over Hersonissos area) and the food at the restaurant of the hotel,where Mrs Helen,the mother of the owner of the hotel,was cooking perfect dishes.Also,we liked the quitness that there was in the area and the relaxation from the daily stress in the big cities. We didn't like that the father's boss was giving orders with loud voice to the personnel of the restaurant during our breakfast,even if the staff was so polite and helpful.Also,there were missing many of the room facilities(hot tub,spa tub,telephone,radio,dvd player,cd player,kitchenette and minibar) and the room has no sea view from the bedroom,even if the room type was ''Grand Suite Sea View''.As a conclusion this room that was given to us,was a room type ''Superior Suite Garden View'',which costs the half price from the money that we have given.So,we were very unpleased about this and the management of the hotel didn't give us any reasonable explanation about this(for example that this was a fault of Booking.com company!!!!!!!!).......

Family run hotel where nothing is too much trouble for George and his team. They have a great approach which is dedicated to their customers.The rooms are tastefully decorated, cleaned every day and spacious. The food at the hotel is excellent and features a lot of home made dishes and special food nights. Koutoulafari village is 5 minutes walk away with a vast array of Taverna's and bars. Hersonnisos 15 minutes down the hill. Highly recommended It is at the top of a hill and the climb to the rooms can be quite tough, but there are well made steps to help and it's woth it when you get there

Fantastic family run hotel, family and staff make you feel really welcome and relaxed, excellent rooms all decorated to a good standard, fantastic views of the coast, excellent food cooked fresh to order in pool side restaurant. Ideal hotel if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. Depending on where your room is, it could involve alot of steps to get to your room so would not recomend for anyone who is not very mobile

The location was secluded with great views, the rooms bright well furnished and airey The familly who owned and ran the site were sometimes in conflict and the tension when this was apparent was palpable, sometimes the adverised facilitites were not available such as wifi were not available on the whim of the proprietors if the thought it inappropriate,the insistance of wearing a t shirt at the bar seemed excessive

Those who stay at Creta Blue are an absolute priority for George and his family/team. From pool towels to one-day hire cars, they were always there to help. The location, although on a steep hillside, makes you feel like you are exclusively away from the masses and the nearby village of Koutouloufari has definitely got some of the best restaurants. However, the food at Creta Blue was so delicious no-one would blame you for not leaving (try the mushroom risotto!). Transfer companies are completely unable to find Creta Blue, let alone physically make it up the tiny roads leading to it. A taxi is the only way to get there (the hotel will kindly be able to arrange this for you in advance which I thoroughly advise as we didn't and we regretted it). The hotel is on a very steep hill so there could be issues if you have any walking difficulties. It was a great workout for leg muscles as we were near the top!

We enjoyed everything about this holiday from the location,the room the friendliness of the staff,the quality of the food and the helpfulness of the owners.No problem was to much trouble. Take my advise and dont use the resort hopper transfer from the airport unless you enjoy carrying your luggage from the main road up a very steep hill.taxi fare is 40euros but its money well spent.

Excellent located small family hotel 30km east from busy Irakleon at the edge of a small village with magnificent view over northern coast and very kind and friendly team. Calm atmosphere 4km away from the crowded beach, very individual, facilities in good taste, pool and very good price- value. We intended to stay only one night after late arrival at the airport, but were sad we had to leave at the fourth day, because it was fully booked for a wedding, brilliant surrounding for a marriage.

Consiglio a tutti questo splendido hotel, sia per l'ottima posizione che per il clima familiare ed accogliente che abbiamo trovato fin da subito. I proprietari, Georgios, Vangelis ed Eleni sono stati amichevoli e disponibili. La cucina di Eleni assolutamente da provare, soprattutto se si vuole assaggiare la tipica cucina greca. La nostra camera con vista mare e vista piscina era assolutamente meravigliosa !!!

le patron a pris en compte les problèmes rencontrés(chambre exigue pour 4adultes.....),il s'est montré prévenant et dévoué. Hotel familial et coquet,situé au calme lits d'appoint inconfortables pour des adultes et pas d'autres alternatives. Hotel catalogué de charme mais pourtant piscine envahie dès 7h30 par matelas pneumatiques...et sièges résevés de la veille par des serviettes...Hotel difficile d'accès et escarpé por la personne de 70ans qui nous accompagnait h

Cadre exceptionnel, vue superbe, très belles chambres, piscine agréable avec beaux jardins, sans doute un des meilleurs établissements dans cette région. La cuisine est très bonne également, avec quelques réserves (quantité) Petit-déjeuner trop chiche et très monotone! Kitchenette inutilisable (frigo ok, vaisselle très limitée, plaques chauffantes pas dans toutes les chambres). Véhicule quasiment indispensable car les taxis sont exorbitants (la location d'une voiture est moins chère qu'un taxi a/r pour aller à la plage de Malia à quelques km)
