Creta Blue Boutique Hotel

We recently stayed at Creta Blue for the week. This hotel is beautiful and set high up with a lovely view. The room was immaculate and well equipped. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. The sunbeds were so comfortable and the pool was great. The village of Koutouloufari had great options of restaurants and bars. We definitely plan on coming back!

Stayed at Creta Blue beginning of June 2025 for 10 nights. Last visited 11 years ago, so anticipated some changes, but have to say all for the better. George (owner), has improved the look of the hotel into a more 'boutique' style which both my wife and I thought more appropriate. It's a very chilled location, elevated above hersonnisis with views over the bay. Rooms lovely and clean and tidy guests return here year after year which speaks volumes. Food in the restaurant is very good, the staff have all been at the hotel for many years. Lovely pool, and sufficient beds for everyone. The clientele are a mix of young, mature and small families, most of whom appeared to be proffesional's which made it feel very comfortable. (If you get my drift). The hotel is built into the mountain and access can be quite steep so beware if you have any mobility issues. 10 minute stroll into koutalfaria loads of very nice bars and restaurants. Overall great holiday, and yes we will return.

Absolutely outstanding! I work for a luxury Tour Operator in London. This hotel is fabulous, the food is exceptional and everyone who works here, from the owner George, waiting staff and cleaners clearly love their jobs. All happy, courteous and friendly. Rooms with views to die for! Thank you, I will not want to leave!

We stayed at Creta Blue Hotel for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon, and it was everything we had hoped for – and more. We had searched extensively for a hotel with a heated pool, and not only did Creta Blue deliver on that, but our suite also came with a private jacuzzi on the balcony. We made great use of it, along with the spacious sunbathing area, table, chairs, and stunning views. The hotel itself is beautiful, with immaculately kept grounds and a peaceful, luxurious atmosphere. Every member of staff we met was incredibly friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. Our spa suite was thoughtfully equipped with a fridge and a great selection of glassware for every type of drink. The bathroom was huge, with a lovely rainfall shower, dual sinks, and excellent storage – including plenty of hanging space and coat hangers, which we really appreciated. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the air conditioning was quiet and easy to control. Another standout feature: the shutters behind the windows, which completely blocked out the morning light and helped us enjoy some of the best sleep we’ve ever had in a hotel. The entire suite had a calming, high-end feel, and we truly felt like we were living in luxury. The on-site restaurant was fabulous. Breakfast was freshly made to order and served as a variety of small dishes, allowing you to mix and match to your taste – a perfect way to start the day. We also dined there twice in the evening: the first meal was exceptional, and the second was still enjoyable, although possibly just not to our taste that night. The location is ideal – in a quiet area with a selection of quality restaurants and bars nearby, away from the busier tourist areas. Yet the main road with a wide variety of shops and restaurants is just a 15–20 minute walk away. If you’re looking for something a bit more refined for your getaway, we can’t recommend Creta Blue highly enough. It was a fantastic experience, and we were absolutely delighted with our choice for our honeymoon.

We had an amazing experience at Crete Blue Boutique Hotel in Koutouloufari during our babymoon!

There is honestly not a single point of criticism we could give. Georgios and his entire team made us feel like a part of their family from the moment we arrived.

We also had the privilege of celebrating Easter and Easter Monday with them, and experiencing how the Greeks celebrate this special time. Being welcomed into Georgios’ family celebrations made our stay even more unforgettable.

• Rooms: 10/10 – Spotlessly clean, fresh towels every day, spacious, and overall very well maintained.
• Swimming Pool: 10/10 – Beautiful, clean loungers, plenty of space between beds, and a peaceful atmosphere.
• Restaurant: 10/10 – Everything served is fresh and clearly prepared with love and great attention to flavor.
• Breakfast: 10/10 – Definitely try the pancakes with Nutella, a must!
• Staff & Service: 12/10 – Everyone is incredibly friendly and truly treats you like family.

In short: the place to be for a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Crete!
We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our babymoon and can’t wait to come back.

Charming hotel on the outskirts of town with lovely views, friendly staff and delicious food. The owner is a wonderful man who cares for his guests. Highly recommended.

This was an amazing stay. The accommodation has great views, as does the pool and dining/bar area. A short walk from some quiet little bars and restaurants. We stayed half board, and the food was absolutely stunning, I ordered the same starter every night it was so good, while my wife tried the others. The restaurant was popular with locals and others not staying at the hotel. We fully recommend staying here. There is a steep bank to the rooms, but I'm sure the owner would arrange a car to the top if needed. Regards the staff they couldn't do enough for us and always had a smile, service was outstanding from arriving to leaving.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel! The service was outstanding—everyone was so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and the private jacuzzi made it absolutely perfect for a relaxing holiday in April. The pool area is lovely and very well maintained, offering a great spot to unwind. Breakfast is served à la carte instead of a buffet, and every dish we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. We also dined at the hotel restaurant and were thoroughly impressed—highly recommended!

What a stay! Family run business with George at the helm. Fantastic stay with a beautiful room, lovely pool area, good food and drink and good location to the local town. The staff are MAGNIFICENT!! They tend to you without being overly eager. George goes beyond his job to help you and he has a lot of returning customers. We also got to celebrate Easter Traditions with them. We hope to return some time in the future!
