My husband and I love to travel so we have experienced some good and not so good hotels. The views at this hotel are breathtaking.. that for me where the positives end. Upon arrival which was 4 o’clock in the morning we were told by reception we had to wait in the lobby as there were no rooms available for me and 2 other families that also checked in. We didn’t get our rooms until 11 am. Apparently this was an error on love holidays as they didn’t inform us at the time of booking the holiday. We found some of the staff here extremely rude. One particular evening I was waiting at the bar, another guest took several drinks and I ordered 3 they told me it was a maximum of 2 per guest! The food is average but always found something to eat. The drinks ok for all inclusive. No coffee or tea making facilities in the rooms. No beach towels provided unless you pay 2 euro at the mini spa. I would definitely come back to the area as like I said the views are beautiful. We are looking at another hotel opposite when we return.

My family and I spent the second week of October at this hotel. It’s a really great hotel with excellent food, clean rooms, and very friendly staff. I recommend it....
Perfect – the one word that sums up our stay
We have travelled all around the world, but if I had to sum up our two weeks at the Blue Bay Hotel in one word, it would simply be: perfect.
From the moment we arrived, we felt looked after. Our flight was delayed and we got in late, yet we were welcomed outside the moment our taxi pulled up and handed a packed tea so we wouldn't go hungry. It's those little things that set this hotel apart, and they kept happening throughout our stay.
What stands out most is the warmth of the team. There is a real sense of family and teamwork here, and nothing is ever too much trouble. I like my coffee in my room first thing in the morning, so I asked for a kettle and cups and they were there without fuss. Extra blankets and pillows were never a problem either. Every member of the restaurant staff greeted us with a hello and a smile, and you could tell they were genuinely happy in their work. The level of respect, professionalism and etiquette feels like they have been doing this for a very long time. The hotel was spotlessly clean throughout, from our room to the restaurants, pool areas and every corner in between, and the housekeeping team clearly take real pride in their work.
For an all-inclusive, the food was excellent: always plentiful, varied and fresh, with something for every taste.
The views are out of this world. We are normally avid explorers, but for this holiday I honestly didn't want to leave. The hotel has everything you need, yet the chance to venture further afield is right on your doorstep if you want it.
Even on our final day, when we checked out at 11am but weren't leaving until 9pm, we were still welcomed to use all the facilities and restaurants. That generosity says everything about this place.
Thank you to the whole Blue Bay team for an unforgettable two weeks. We will be back.

Blue Bay
I enjoyed my 10 day stay here. The hotel is very clean and has a lovely view. There are plenty of sun beds available throughout the day - but I did go in October, so a quieter period!
In terms of entertainment, I think this hotel has some of the best all inclusive entertainment I have seen! I really enjoyed it all!
There is a free shuttle ran by the hotel down to the local beach, €10 for 2 sunbeds and lovely cafes/bars by the beach. There is a bus stop to Heraklion directly outside the hotel entrance.
There is a lovely restaurant a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel as well - Yamas.
The staff in the hotel are all very friendly and approachable. The room we had was a bit small, nowhere to store our suitcase. But the room is only to sleep in at the end of the day!
The all inclusive drink choices aren’t the best - just Raki and Ouzo cocktails. The beer is nice and enjoyed the wine spritzers! Also they have Pepsi max, which is a winner for me!
The food is nice although the breakfast is the same every day and I feel like there could be more variety in the dinner options as well, got a bit bored of the food towards the end of the holiday.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend to someone. I wouldn’t visit again but only because I like to travel to new places! 🇬🇷
Boring nothing to do apart from swim
If you want a relaxing holiday just around the pool this is the place to be . If you want things to do foget it everything is up and down hills and steps so not ideal if you struggle woth mobility. The beaches are a walk away down very very steep hills and steps and its full of boulders and stones the beach is tiny very few shops and very expensive. When it rains ya stuck in ya room as theres nothing to do in the hotel other than the spa or gym. The foods repative but plentyful. Make sure you check your room type as theres thw main hotel and an annexe which is stuck on top of a hill and outdated. The rooms that are basic rooms have no tea and coffee facilities but if u ask they will bring you one but you have to pay for suplies. The drinks menu is wine wine wine raki and ouzo. If you want a decebt coctail or spirit you have to pay for this. The ala carte again you have to pay for this. Ive never known a hotel resort like it the staff are lovely very friendly. And the hotel and grounds are clean . The swimming pools are all freezing you come out blue . Defo not a 4 star more a 3 star at the most.
