Blue Palace Elounda, a Luxury Collection Resort, Crete

I stayed at the Blue Palace from Thursday till Sunday night with my partner & without the kids, the service is very good the room had everything we needed for a short stay on arrival we were given a complimentary bottle of Red wine & the bathroom was stocked with shampoos, creams lotions shaving kit, toothpaste/brush they even supplied sun cream & all was replenished everyday along with 2x bottles of free water, I need not of brought all of the above. The only gripe I had was the walk to the sea, although the sunbeds were beautifully laid out with new towels you had to walk over pebbles & quite large stones to get from your sunbed to the sea which unless you had a pair of crocs or such like on, this was quite painful & tricky. The surrounding area is gorgeous & the village of Plaka which is within walking distance has some great cafe's/bar to get some wonderful fresh fish caught that day (which is a lot cheaper than the resturants in the hotel which we found pretty expensive) also a short cab ride away was the town of Elounda with even more resturants/cafes/bar's & shops. All in all a great weekend spent away in a lovely hotel & I will probably be returning in the near future.
