5 star hotel in every way!!

10.0

The hotel is absolutely amazing! The lobby has a huge bar instead of a checkin counter. You are able to sit on a comfortable couch and the staff comes to you for checkin. Service is just outstanding and the rooms are large and extremely clean. Breakfast is out of this works and the hotel has a beautiful beach. Located in one of the most exclusive towns, Elounda in Crete.

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.

Absolutely stunning and perfect luxury hotel. Has everything you need, the facilities and space look and feel great. Staff is second to none and food was terrific. The highlight is the private beach and perfect view of Spinalonga.

My stay at this hotel in Plaka was nothing short of perfect. The staff were incredibly attentive, always ready to assist with a smile, and made me feel truly welcome throughout my stay. The hotel itself is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning views that took my breath away every day. The food was outstanding, and the breakfast was especially delicious, offering a great variety to start the day. This is easily the best place to stay in Plaka, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway!
