Blue Elephant

Just returned from our stay in Blue Elephant and would like to give kudos to all of the staff who helped to make it so memorable. Our room was perfect and we had the most amazing views! The hotel is clean, room was always cleaned daily and the food in the restaurant was so tasty. There is plenty of parking if you choose to hire a car. The hotel is not too busy, with plenty of sun beds available. The bottles of water are replenished daily for the room, and the staff at the pool bar always made sure we could have water by the pool. The walk to Almyrida where there are restaurants by the sea front and shops is only a couple of minutes but is a very steep hill up and down. We loved our stay overall and hopefully will see you again

10/10 hotel! The staff were very helpful and friendly at all times. The room was beautiful with a private pool, and breakfast offered every morning.

Simply amazing! We stayed there for 2 weeks last September and we enjoyed it very very much. They gave us a room upgrade so we had a private pool to ourselves and a beautiful view over the ocean. Also, our room was so nice, modern and huge.
It’s a beautiful hotel, so well maintained, super clean, great service, great food.
The breakfast is plentiful and full of choices, the breakfast room has such a nice view.
Dinner is also amazing, colorful and almost artsy. You can always also order lunch, drinks throughout the day.
The staff is always helpful and so nice! They always have a smile on their faces. We went to the gym every day: super clean and they have got all the necessary equipment for a nice gym session.
Pools are always clean, you can enjoy your cocktails by the pool or the private pool.
We loved the size of the hotel: not too many rooms, I guess around 28. Also, the area of the hotel itself is so big, that it never ever feels crowded or full.
The village is close (5 minute walk) and you have got everything there: Many nice restaurants right by the beach with all kind of food. The village is small and even though it is a touristy place it never feels too full.
One does need a car to get around. We simply booked online in advance (check24) and picked and dropped it off at Chania airport. We had the car for the entire 2 weeks and we went on many trips across the island every day: lots of hiking, sightseeing, biking, etc.
We simply loved everything about the hotel and the vacation. We will be back some day 😍

Such a lovely hotel with really good sized rooms! Really kind and helpful staff which is always great. There a lots of restaurant nearby which are at the beach but it I would recommend also going further out to explore as there are lots of lovely beaches to visit. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, it was very relaxing and peaceful.

5 stars rating without doubt. One of the best hotels I have ever been to. The infinity pool and the room itself is amazing, stunning view... The only regret was I booked one with partial sea view, I would have booked another type of room to make my stay a flawless one...

Also, I would like to mention the lady in the pool bar - she took care us very well and truly knows what service should be(shame I didn't ask for her name). Thank you very much!

Very nice hotel. The rooms are spotlessly clean and our room had a wonderful view. Receptionist very helpful and accommodating to our requests.

One minor complaint we had is that we got woken up at 8am by the hedge trimmers and leaf blowers right underneath our window. They could do that a little later in the day.

This is one of the most beautiful and memorable stays I ever had. Not a big hotel, with new, modern and beautiful facilities, amazing breakfast, amazing and kind staff, breathtaking views of the sea, great pool, clean gym. We tried the sauna one day and it was a great experience. Beach is close by only minutes away and is a good beach, and many restaurants near by. I must say that Vaggelis one of the staff members made our stay so great! His kindness and hospitality really added value to the stay. Thank you for that!

Chania is 25-30minutes away with a car
We will defiantly come again!

Blue Elephant was such an amazing hotel! We stayed for two weeks and the experience was nothing short of amazing. The views? Gorgeous. The rooms? Spotless. But what really stole the show was the staff. They treated us like old friends, always had the best tips, and made our vacation super special. Shoutout to all staff at the hotel for making our travel the best. Thank you :) Can't wait to come back!

We stayed at The Blue Elephant for two weeks at the end of June and we had the most glorious time. The hotel has the most amazing views over Almyrida, especially at sunrise and sunset. The staff are great and friendly. The breakfast buffet is fab with lots of choice. We had a room with the shared plunge pool which is highly recommended; it’s great to cool off in after a day by the beach. The walk up to the hotel is rather steep so take that into account if you have any mobility issues. Would definitely stay at The Blue Elephant again. Highly recommended.

We had an evening of drinks and snacks in the wonderful bar. The view is sensation out of the large panoramic window that faces Almyrida beach. Everything feels luxury and well thought-out at the Blue Elephant, they've designed the whole place beautifully.

I can recommend it as a quiet place for a drink to get away from the busy tourist area. The prices aren't cheap, but it's worth it for the quality and luxury. If you really want to push the boat out they even have Johnny Walker Blue Label on the menu!
