The rooms and property exceeded my expectations. Well maintained and beautifully appointed. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly. The property is on the hillside giving gorgeous views. I was nervous about dragging my suitcase up the hill but I was met in the parking area and everything was taken care of for me proactively. They have a lovely bar/restaurant area with a good selection of food and wine. You can't go wrong booking this wonderful property.

The Hotel has a really nice pool area and the view to the ocean is great. We had half Board and the food was ok. Amazing breakfast though we were disappointed by the sandwiches we received instead of breakfast on our departure date as we had to leave before 8.
In a lively setting in Hersonissos next to lots of lovely shops and restaurants. The food at the hotel was excellent, wonderful breakfast buffet on a hill overlooking the sea!
Great View, quiet surrounding, large room, very good house keeping, walking distance to the pretty village Koutouloufari for shopping, drinks, restaurants,...
The staff and family who run the hotel go above and beyond for everyone, no detail missed. Nothing is too much trouble and they offer services before you even ask. Spotlessly clean. Food amazing. The hotel and rooms are just stunning.
We were worried we might be a little far from restaurants and bars but the local village is just perfection, with a livelier strip within easy walking distance. Wouldn't change a thing.
Beautiful place, lovely welcoming owner and staff. Great pool, bar, restaurant area. Wonderful food.
Only downside was the trek up the hill to our room as we were at the very top. Beautiful room but not used much. But then you don’t go on holiday to sit in the room!
We will hopefully be back ❤️
A Memorable 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration**
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Creta Blue Boutique Hotel from March 27-april 7 2025 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and our experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality provided by George, the owner, was truly exceptional.
George went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless and enjoyable, arranging transportation to and from the airport, organizing a rental car, and providing a comprehensive guide to explore the breathtaking island of Crete. His dedication to making us feel welcome and cared for at this charming, family-owned boutique hotel.
The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Our luxurious room featured a beautifully updated bathroom, a spacious living area, and a private balcony that offered stunning views of both the pool and the ocean. The elegant design and attention to detail created a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
We stayed for 11 nights, and every moment was filled with joy and tranquility. The Creta Blue Boutique Hotel is truly a hidden gem that combines personalized service with exquisite accommodations, and it made our anniversary celebration an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this extraordinary hotel to anyone seeking a perfect blend of luxury and authentic Cretan hospitality.
Thank you, George, and the entire Creta Blue Boutique Crew!
George and his fantastic team make for such an amazing holiday. The service is superb and they remember returning guests with a genuine touch. The Blue Moon restaurant which forms part of the hotel serves high quality food incl a made to order breakfast incl fruit, yogurt, honey, eggs etc.
Such care was taken in the presentation and upkeep of the hotel, it really is beautiful. The setting is so peaceful and really is perfect for a relaxation holiday. The staff could not be friendlier or more lovely and the food and drink is of a high quality.
I absolutely loved my stay at Creta Blue. I stayed in one of the adult only rooms that had a hot tub on the terrace, overlooking the sea and it was simply magical. The communication and service with hotel staff was easy as can be and everyone was very helpful. I can't recommend this hotel enough!

An absolutely exquisite little gem. Family run with the friendliest of staff. Beautiful.
We stayed here with our 18month old and they made us feel like family. Nothing was to much trouble. The village was a 5minute walk away with wonderful restaurants and cute shops. We stayed here and on the beach, for an authentic stay in Crete, little could beat this.
Absolutely fabulous place to stay. We had a lovely suite tucked around the back, so was very tranquil. Stunning infinity pool.
The hotel is up a steep hill but this means the view is fabulous. The traditional village of Koutoulafari is only 5 or so minutes walk down the hill- laden with traditional tavernas, souvenir shops, a mini golf, car hire places as well as cocktail bars etc.
We chose half board which was served at The Blue Moon Restaurant attached to the hotel. The food was amazing.. fresh produce, local meats etc. The waitress Lavinia is the star of the restaurant.
Creta Blue is absolutely STUNNING! We were greeted by George the owner of the hotel who is incredibly kind and gracious. You can tell that this hotel is more than a family business, it is a passion project with no details spared. The staff here is wonderful and they really make you feel so comfortable. The rooms are beautiful and it is clear they put a lot of effort into the decor. It feels like a slice of heaven. The views of the ocean are 180 degrees.
We had dinner at the restaurant which was fantastic. I highly recommend the shrimp Sagnaki! I would have no hesitation booking this place. It was the nicest accommodation we had in our 2 weeks in Greece!
Quiet and relaxing property up on the cliffs about 25 minutes outside of Heraklion. Great place to get away from the noise and traffic of the city. The rooms are some of the most spacious you will find in the area for the price they offer, although not as modern as the pictures show and a few of the sea view balcony rooms may have their view blocked by the building. There is also not a lot of parking, and you will have to walk up the hill to the rooms, so it's not ideal for anyone out of shape or disabled. I would say for the price, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking for a quiet stay, and there are actually multiple amazing restaurants within walking distance in the quaint and beautiful town of Hersonissos. The pool is also well kept and clean, and the staff is highly accommodating.
Sehr nettes Personal und wirklich schön auf den Berg gebaut. Allerdings musste für über 200 Euro die Nacht schon mehr Comfort und Extras (kein riechender Abfluss und ruhige gedämmte Zimmer) vorhanden sein. Bar wurde man immer wach , wenn einer der Nachbarn gespült hat. Außerdem würde ich bei dem Preis auch keine leere Minibar erwarten. Es war trotzdem sehr schön und bei einem günstigen Angebot würden wir wiederkommen .
