We recently stayed at this hotel and overall had a great experience. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, which made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The food was delicious with a wide variety to choose from, and we especially enjoyed the entertainment evenings with live music several times during the week. It was also great that sunbeds were available for free both by the pool and on the beach - but the amount is not sufficient. Also we appreciated the billiard table as well - it was a nice touch!

However, there were a few downsides. The use of disposable plastic cups was excessive. They have glass options, but they just don’t use them.
Our mattress and sheets were not very clean. A lot of different stains. Lastly, the cleaning staff sometimes came by before 9 AM, which interrupted our rest.

Overall, there were both highs and lows, but with a few improvements, this hotel could offer an even better experience.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the staff is friendly and very positive, it is clear that they do everything for visitors. Very clean, the food is delicious, there is a lot of entertainment for both adults and children. One of the hotel workers, whose name is Ilias, treated us very well and did everything to make our vacation 100%

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Diogeni's Blue Palace! We were very welcomed by the most amazing and friendly people that were always available to help us with any request. The hotel has a great pool, although it can be sometimes busy, but the beach is also just across the road from the hotel with dedicated area for the hotel guests. The rooms are simple, but have everything you need for a good night sleep, with A/C, TV, fridge and other equipment. The food was incredible, with plenty of options to suit every taste. Everyday there were different type of dishes. You can eat either inside of the restaurant or outside wherr you can enjoy the warm weather. Breakfast has pleanty of choices as well. And always made fresh. A huge thank you to chef Ilias, a very good and friendly person that makes the food absolutely amazing, and i am very happy to call a friend. The bar has great choices of drinks and local wine and beer, and once again a great thank you to Benny, Ivan, Costa, Sophia and everyone for their hospitality and friendly approach.

I don’t recommend. Especially don’t book all inclusive as you will have to spend outside the hotel for food, toiletries There is working air conditioning in the room but the rest are very poor Find another place
18.07.2025
I am here now and enjoy my stay. There are good rooms, great pool and sea and chef Ilias and all the staff are doing everything to make us feel like home. Thank you all for everything!🩵

Positives: very clean, lovely beach with free sun loungers. Negatives: the all inclusive is not all inclusive! The soft drinks tasted awful, the worst version of Diet Coke I’ve ever tasted. The only drinks included in the all inclusive is awful beer, awful wine, ouzo and cognac. No vodka, rum, gin etc. Food is basic and not that nice, breakfast is the same every day, main meals were questionable. Some meals were ok, others not. The rooms are basic, the mattress and pillows were the hardest I’ve ever encountered in my life, the mattress was as hard as sleeping on the floor! There is a fridge in the room but no kettle and no facilities to make any food in the room. Overall I would not recommend, having paid for all inclusive and then have to buy soft drinks from the shop next door and go out for meals was extra expense that I hadn’t budgeted for!

Great hotel with a beautiful view of the sea, a separate beach with sunbeds. Very clean rooms with air conditioning, every morning a nice lady did room service. Large swimming pool with crystal clear water, the kids were delighted. Great and varied food for both adults and children. Car rental available in the lobby. The service of the hotel, bar and restaurant at the highest level, I think that five-star hotels do not have such service. They bend over backwards to help in every matter with a smile on their face. I can't imagine a better rest. I really recommend it!!!!!!!!
05.07.2025

What makes this hotel is not only the location but the staff food cleanliness and beach came as adult family and must say the friendliness is amazing plenty of beds and the bar right outside the hotel you pay extends this friendliness you cross the road to the beach and if you go left for a few minutes the bar there is great too
