Stella Blue Seaside Resort

"We are here now lovely room, weather not so great no one can help that. A bit out of the way, make sure you pick the nearest airport. As our package dropped us at Chania in the East of the island took us 3½ hours to get here and if you haven't booked a transfer it's €240 each way. The restaurant 'nomad' is very noisy, the staff bang and clatter the plates and cutlery when emptying and filling trolleys. We asked twice for tea and coffees my partner ended up getting them himself. Cups of luke warm water in cups ready for teabags waiting on the bar. The food is edible but alway cold, cold breakfast, lunch and dinner 🙁 not a very high standard of food by any means."

"I recently stayed at Stella Blue Seaside Resort Crete and overall had a mixed experience. There are definitely some strong positives. The hotel is very aesthetically beautiful, with a modern feel, and it’s kept spotlessly clean throughout. The staff were also lovely—friendly, welcoming, and always polite, which made a great first impression. However, there were several downsides that affected the stay. There didn’t seem to be enough staff, which resulted in long wait times, particularly at the bar. During two days of bad weather, everyone was gathered inside which made the situation worse, but even once the weather improved, the queues remained long. It was also disappointing that only local spirits were included, and you had to pay extra for branded drinks. The buffet food was good quality, but unfortunately it was often not hot enough, which let it down. The beach had beautifully blue, coloured water, but the beach itself wasn’t the nicest. The hotel is also quite remote, with very little to do which is worth considering when booking. Overall, while the hotel excels in appearance and has genuinely lovely staff, improvements in staffing levels, food temperature, and bar service would make a big difference to the overall experience."

"Honestly one of the best hotels we’ve stayed in, in a long time. The hotel is amazing, rooms perfect, very clean and modern. The staff (especially the waiters) are amazing, very friendly, exceptionally hard working and just very nice - always trying to make your stay, visit more comfortable and always saying hello. The pool side is just lovely with lovely beds/sun loungers, very comfortable and relaxing. During a couple of unforeseen rainy days we hired a car and visited the on site spa. Again the staff being so helpful to assist. The hotel overlooks a beach and the most beautiful sun sets. Really wish we were still there."
