Five-Star Hotels in Panormos Rethymno

Amazing facilities and everything you need is here. The restaurants within the resort is a must. You have to try the food!

We love Crete and we come here almost every year. We stayed quite in a few nice and luxury hotels of this beautiful island. To be honest it was the best hotel experience in Crete for the last 10 years. Our experience here was genuinely a magic one. We were warmly welcomed by two Guest Service ladies: Anastasia and Guest Service Manager Anastasia Stamataki. It felt like coming home after a long long trip. Our family suite #219 was very spacious, cozy and clean, with a nice terrace and a private pool outside. Nice design, quiet neighbourhood and a beautiful sea view. We loved the bath amenities and the most comfortable beds. The breakfast food meets the requirements of the most demanding guest: there were lots of choices for vegetarians and vegans, including healthy fresh smoothies, lots of local herbal teas, fruits and treats, etc. Morning cooks were always very polite and friendly. Restaurant team Rokas, Vasilis, Manolis, Anggelos, many others and the happiest hostess Euleutheria welcomed us every day with a happy smile and a small talk. Coffee arrives on the table within a minute. We enjoyed live music of cello during the breakfast. It was so relaxing. SPA is another happy universe of The Royal Blue. Vicky was kind and very attentive while choosing the best massage for me and my daughter. Zafeirenia, George, Konstantinos, Alexandra and Melda, the most professional and at the same time very friendly SPA team ready to do their best to make a guest feel in paradise. A complimentary SPA pool was like a cherry on our cake: very relaxing and pleasant. I had a few small talks with the personnel of the hotel and I learnt the secret of the magic: the crew works 5 day week and they have time to rest and enjoy their lives. My compliments go to the management of this hotel: only happy crew can make hotel guests' experience in The Royal Blue genuinely unforgettable. We can't wait to be back to this hotel.

everything . meals were excellent. cakes out of this world. Faultless experience.

The hotel and its facilities are excellent. The staff is very nice, rooms are big enough, there are 2 swimming pools and 2 bars plus the beach with the sea. Still, on top of this their restaurant is the most excellent - extreme wide variety of foods, very good quality and every night they offer a dedicated cuisine (like seafood, bbq, japanese food etc.). Most of the guests are from Germany, there were some from UK and the rest is not much.

The restaurant is simply amazing. Stuff very friendly

On arrival, we were welcomed with drinks and a refreshing towel. That small gesture immediately made us feel valued. It set the tone for the rest of the holiday—warm and personal.

Waterpark is nice for kids and the entertainment in the evenings. Private pool was nice.

Very luxury and modern hotel , i liked the decoration , the swiming pool , the break fast , everything was perfect in our stay

Breakfast and Dinner was fabulous, in the evening there was always addditionally a special menue the staff was exraordinary friendly and welcoming the comfort and the service was excellent we will definitly come again

The hotel is a luxurious one, the property is amazing, it is modern and well taken care of, the breakfast and dinner are perfect too. The staff, they make you feel like family and less as a guest, they took care of every single detail, my daughter got sick during the night, they made sure to stay in touch via whatsapp and see if I needed a Dr. to come check on her. Truth to be told, an amazing experience, staff were extremely nice and hospitable. WOULD DEFINITELY recommend it
