Hotels in Agia Pelagia

We had a really lovely stay at Out of the Blue Hotel in Crete. The location is absolutely wonderful — surrounded by beautiful beaches and stunning views. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade on arrival, which made our stay even better. The reception and restaurant staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly — they really made us feel at home...

We had a fabulous 4 night stay in a 3 bedroom maisonette (upgrade from 2 bedroom maisonette). We were 2 adults and a teenager staying in the last week of the season in October. We each had our own bathroom. The grounds, staff, food, views, all amazing. Our private pool was in shade all of the time but it's probably in sin during the summer months. Lots of mosquitos so plug ins are a must. Deet didn...

It is amazing experience with out of blue.very good hospitality and services I will visit again to the same resort

Al the staff were amazing, welcoming and helpful. There are varying standards of accommodation. We were basic all inclusive we had a lounge with a balcony and on three other floor the bedroom also worth a balcony. A bath with a shower, a walk in shower and two sinks. Serviced evert day.

Unforgettable Honeymoon Stay! My wife and I spent our honeymoon here and it was fantastic! The all-inclusive package was well worth it—great food and drinks, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We mentioned it was our honeymoon and were surprised with a complimentary room upgrade and romantic setup. The resort’s location made it easy to walk to the beach and town each evening. Highly...

Lovely room with sea view. Staff not particularly friendly but helpful when needed. Not explanation of getting a la carte meals whilst there. Pool was very small. Beach was nice but over crowded.

First this Hotel makes it clear that it is on the side of a hill and not suitable for people with walking difficulties. That being said I must make it clear that it is an extremely step and very of steps everywhere. I will simply list my observations and allow you to see the pros and cons regarding this Hotel. PROS: 1. It is a very beautiful Hotel 2. There are lovely views. 3. The rooms are a nice...

We had an excellent holiday. Service all round fantastic, great rooms, great food choices especially the Taverna and A La Carte both of which, despite being included in the all inclusive package, I would happily have paid extra for. Will definitely return.

The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around. Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live...

Our room had an amazing view, lovely big room albeit short on storage. 4 star at best!! food and drinks menu very mediocre and poor selection of cocktails. Food at pool was poor. Staff friendliness was inconsistent, entertainment shocking.

Lovely hotel but not a lot to do. Mainly French speaking hotel. Unless you are French they will not allow you to book any trips at the hotel. The animation team only involved those speaking French as we were never approached to join in any activities around the activity pool. Our room was at the opposite end of the hotel with lots of steps to get to the main pool. There is an adult only pool. The pool...

An extraordinary experience. The staff at the restaurant is a 10. The service is impeccable.We thank them for everything.

The room was great and cleaned everyday. The food on the buffet was so nice and the view from the hotel was breathtaking. Not one bad word to say. Great visit from start to finish.

Unique and vastly expansive property. It was so large that there was a whole other pool and another beach we didn’t even discover until the night before our last day. Be sure to go on all the elevators as they take you to different places. A rental car place and an ATV Quad excursion is economical and within walking distance to the resort. There’s also a seaside village not far from the resort with...

It was a nice surprise! We were upgraded to a family suite with a large balcony and seaview, this made us very comfortable. Room was clean, A/C worked well, water was provided. Food in the buffet was varied and mostly good. Parking was a challenge for a first day. One of the beaches is not owned by hotel, so they require payment, a bummer!

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised with the food, it was always fresh, tasted good and selection/variety was impressive. Buffet always clean, and well maintained. The views from this hotel are mesmerizing, sunrise and sunsets are beautiful. The only minus for us was that if you want to go to the beach you need to pay for lounge chairs, it wasn’t very expensive. The beaches...

Upgraded to junior suite lovely sea view room clean great housekeeping bathroom fine but could do with upgrade

We had an amazing experience at this resort from start to finish (11 days in October 2025, all-inclusive). The property itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers a perfect blend of comfort and relaxation. Everything was spotless, and it is clear that great care is taken to keep the place immaculate. A special mention must go to the restaurant and its exceptional staff, which truly exceeded...

Beautiful resort! Great staff, amenities and food options. Beach was a quick walk away. Would definitely go back!

Everything was lovely, pool bar staff was very friendly and there are a few resident cats to pet that roam freely.

We love this property! It’s a beautiful location & all the staff members are so friendly & helpful from the front desk to the buffet servers. Also the buffet is the best I’ve ever seen and tasted. All so delicious and healthy too!

Amazing location views, aesthetic, service, buffet great selection. We loved it here !!!

I have very mixed feelings about the holiday. The hotel was nice, but our room wasn't. The private pool was full of flies and other insects and was tiny. There is no separate bathroom, it's all quite open plan which wasn't pleasant at times. The staff were lovely, especially Sofia in the bar, Paloma in the restaurant (very professional, hard-working and lovely) and Maria from the shop (amazing...

Views and design of the resort was the nicest we have ever experienced. There is no club on this resort for entertainment, it is a wellness/relaxing resort

This is a lovely hotel but I wouldn't class it as a 4 star hotel. It is in a beautiful location, stunning views and a quaint little beach in a bay with lots of water activities. The staff at the hotel are fabulous, friendly and happy to help. The outside area is small but well kept and lovely to sit around. There's a bus to and from Heraklion. The entertainment was fun and different each night. It...

We had an amazing holiday in September at this hotel and would highly recommend it for families looking to relax and create unforgettable memories. The hotel itself is lovely and very clean. The food and drinks were varied and catered to all tastes, so there was always something enjoyable for everyone. The views around the hotel are beautiful, and there’s a stunning beach nearby that made our days...

I had an amazing stay at the Blue Bay Resort! The hotel is absolutely beautiful – everything is perfect, from the elegant design to the friendly and professional staff. The atmosphere is relaxing and luxurious at the same time. The view from my room was simply breathtaking – waking up to the stunning sea view every morning was unforgettable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for...

This was our second visit to the Blue Bay Resort, and it felt like coming home. From the moment we arrived, the kindness and genuine warmth of the staff and management surrounded us like sunshine. Every little attention, from their friendly smile, thoughtful gestures, the special “welcome back”... it all made us feel truly special and cared for. The all-inclusive buffet is simply great, with a wide...

We stayed for one week at the Blue Bay Hotel and had a relaxing time. The facilities were nice but not particularly special - on the third day we found a quieter pool by the hotel's second building up the road, which was less crowded and more relaxing. I'd recommend for those looking to relax. We stayed all inclusive and the food was nice, if a little repetitive at times. There weren't many meat options...

Such a lovely stay! The staff were always professional and friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a larger room on the top floor, which made our stay even more comfortable. The room, the restaurant, the whole resort - everything was spotlessly clean! The air conditioning worked flawlessly. The location is quiet, and even with a pool-view room, we heard no noise at all. The...

This hotel has been ideal. It is relatively well located with a couple of beach areas within a 10/15 minute walk. The local main beach is very narrow and I think it's a charge of €10 per couple of sun beds. But, it's a nice atmosphere, plenty of eateries and shops. The sea was clear and even in October fine for swimming and snorkeling. You can walk along the top of the rocks to a viewpoint at the end...

Arrived at this hotel/apartment and greeted by the very jolly and welcoming Vasileios (Bill) who showed us around and explained everything fully. The apartment was bigger than expected (26) just outside the restaurant. No view but didn’t bother us as never really spent a great deal in it. Always a table free at breakfast indoor or outdoor and beautiful view of the sea. A range of hot food cold meats...

The Hotel is very close to Heraklion by car. To get to the beach and crystal clear sea it takes only few minutes. It is located on a hill and has a great view. Throughout the whole stay the personnel was always smiling, very supportive and professional. The whole hotel area was very clean at all time. The room we booked had a great sea view, enough space and modern design. It was very comfortable...

This is by far the best hotel we have stayed at. The service there is always amazing. Been 2 years in a row now and already planning our next visit! The view is stunning and location is just beautiful. The spa and massage therapies are soooo good and all of the staff here are always so lovely and make the stay extra special! The reception team are so helpful and go the extra mile to ensure you have...

Peaceful place. We had one of the nicer Hilltop places with it's own plunge pool and it was gorgeous with a fantastic seaview. Having said that, all the rooms looked nice. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. There is a nice restaurant on site which is well worth a visit. If I visited this area again I would revisit this hotel.

stayed here for a week and overall great service, delightful food variety (get the puddings too!), lovely cocktails. great accommodation would defo stay again, however location not the best as had to get expensive taxis to heraklion & activities etc. would recommend if you are a chill couple or small family holiday! ..only bad thing was the tiny room showers and no amenities in the room. met chrissey...

Good hotel for this price. Very good buffet style food. A lot of different dishes are available in their restaurant. Meals are really delicious. Staff is kind. Beautiful sea view. If you want to walk to the beach it takes 25 min fortunately they have shuttle bus with very kind bus driver)) Municipal beach is okay there are places with rocks as well as with sand This hotel is very good for place for...

I had a lovely time at Chrissy's Paradise. A big thank you to the team, all been friendly and professional, Daniela,Stella but all those running the place, keep up the good work. Everything was perfect, the rooms were clean, good location with a free shuttle to the beach, good food. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you

Had a wonderful time at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The food was excellent, with plenty of variety and great quality. Everything was perfectly clean, with towel changes every two days, which we really appreciated. All amenities were well-maintained. A truly family-friendly place—highly recommended!

Everyone is talking about food and shortages during the meal but- relax and enjoy the view while they bring out the new plates. And the food is really great and tasty. There is a lot’s of variety to choose from and it’s all fresh. The rooms are not its best and the bathroom really needs an upgrade. The bar patio is the place to go after dinner as there’s always some activity.

Chrissy's Paradise was a wonderful experience. Everyone working there was incredibly nice, especially Giorgi, the housekeeper. Mila, who took care of our room, always greeted us with a smile, and we wish her all the best. Chrissy, the hotel owner, made sure that we felt the warm, family vibe throughout our stay. It’s the perfect place for families and anyone looking to relax and enjoy the sunshine...

I had a wonderful stay here and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a more authentic and relaxed holiday experience. What makes this place so special is its charming village atmosphere, which feels far more personal and welcoming than a large mainstream resort. It creates such a friendly environment where it is easy to relax and connect with people. I travelled alone and felt completely...

Absolute must visit. Excellent staff especially Yannis and staff cannot do enough fir you. Spotlessly clean and warm welcome for all. Will be back soon

Excellent place to spend the best vacation in Greece. Perfect food, perfect place to relax, perfect everything. Also Foteini. What a person she is!!!!!!! See you next year guys!!!

Convenient location, very nice view, decent food,quiet and relaxing stay. The staff and the management were very helpful.

This is a totally honest review. But before I start let me just say that this a beautiful hotel in lovely surroundings with amazing views and the most hospitable staff you will ever meet. Unfortunately there is nothing in any of the itinerary I had reviewed before booking with Easyjet to say the amount of steps and stairs there are to get around the hotel. We arrived at Pelaga Bay full of excitement...

My wife myself and friend stayed here for 2 weeks Half board in september. All the staff were very friendly and made us most welcome especially Yannis, Lucy and Stefanos. The hotel is about 10/ 15 minutes walk from the beach and restaurants all downhill. Coming back uphill is a bit longer but there is a lovely cafe/bar half way which makes a nice pitstop. The rooms are what you would expect for the...

Myself and two friends had the most incredible week here. Stunning views, fantastic food and the best part - the team!!! George, Jiannis and Kostas and were outstanding and available to offer recommendations of the local area at any time. They went above and beyond in every possible way!! We will be coming back 100%!

I fell in love with this place in 5 seconds. It is amazing, beautiful, peaceful and cosy. Hosts are so friendly that it makes us feel like a member of a family. Rooms are not luxurious but comfortable, neat, clean and nice. Food is delicious. Views are wonderful. I will come back.

I stayed with my 2 children. We had a room with a wonderful view on the bay. The location is very quiet. The room is simple but very clean and spacious. The communal area is large, nicely kept. The pool is very nice and spacious. The restaurant serve decent food in a friendly and relaxed environment. There are no moskito nets; be aware if you leave windows open at night.

Excellent hotel with beautiful rooms, very clean and a good view on the beach. Also the waiters/owners are super kind. It's a family business so the whole family walks around here which is awesome. It's not that big so you really have this cozy feeling during the day or evenings. There's plenty of room to chill at the pool or the restaurant. Shadow places available enough. Can recommend this to anyone...

This hotel is in an awesome location with beautiful view to the ocean. My kids and I enjoy our stay to the max. The food not to mention is authentic Greek food freshly made...we loved this place. You can see the sunrise and sunset right off the rooms balcony😍

friendly staff...clean , stunning views, helpful staff really enjoyed my stay at pela Mare

Wonderful staff and beautiful location and small resort feel. Definitely recommended

Fantastic view from our room the breakfast was amazing and the staff were wonderful the only thing I would say is to ask where your room is we had a lot of stairs and whilst the staff were amazing and carried our bags up when we left it was early and we had to carry our bags down

It wasn’t bad. Except that we were put in an area where family with kid who constantly crying. They should be group family with kids together so others can enjoyed the day better. Garbage should be picked up daily not every second day or when told.

A few words will tell how great our stay was. To start with the the staff on the front desk are very polite courteous very nice,& well spoken. We honestly love it. Will I consider coming back” yes and will I stay at the same absolutely. Thank you Pela Mara it was a pleasure staying at your place.

A real gem of a hotel. Amazing views across the bay. Service was incredible, nothing too much trouble. All the team were very friendly whenever you saw them around the hotel. Walkable to local beaches and restaurants. Pool was spotless and grounds well cared for. I would definately revisit!!

Awesome view, quiet, three beaches nearby within reasonable walking distance Very clean and super friendly staff Reception staff is always keen in helping out and very friendly

We had an incredible stay at Aquarius with an amazing host Ilias was very kind and helpful he had an open eye for the guests.. the room was quite big and clean!! The pool area was lovely decorated and last the European breakfast was perfect I ate a great omelet!👌🔝

Great apartment close to the beach 1 minute on foot.

Very good location, by the sea, close to Heraklion, clean room, hospitable people, comfortable and spacious rooms Good location, Next to the sea, close to Heraklion city, friendly staff, clean rooms, comfortable rooms with big balcony

Very nice place, near the beach.

George Is very Friendly Guy,apartament is 3 minutes walking from apartaments,There is resturants and shooping Mall,Very Quet place,and freundly and nice,I woul like to come again,there is private parking beside place ,Inthernet and Klima as well Perfect,I recommend this place ☺️

The place is charming, the lemon tree in front of our balcony and life in the field really transported us elsewhere. The parents' room was separate from the other room which also contained a kitchenette. It is not the latest, but it is clean and spacious. Above all, Georges' kindness made us have an excellent stay. We felt more like we were at a local's house than in a hotel. The breakfast was very...

Everything was perfect. Gheorgheos is an ideal host. The rooms are clean and the beds are large and very comfortable.

Georges is a very pleasant and welcoming person. He gave us good advice for our visits when we arrived. And always with a smile! 😃 Thank you very much Georges.

The whole experience at this villa was exceptional, from the communication before we arrived, when we landed and then on arrival. cannot say enough good things about this property, we stay in villas whenever we go abroad, so we have vast experience of the good and the not so good. this is a class above what we have had in the past. The villa is spotlessly clean, huge space and a lot of privacy. George...

Breathtaking views. Well appointed house with amazing pool and grounds. Pizza oven and old school grill. Clean and well kept. Views cannot be beat!

The perfect villa for 4-5 person. Newly renovated and comfortably designed villa “Andromeda” is truly fantastic. The view over the sea is absolutely breath taking. The villa also has a large private pool and great WiFi. Definitely a great choose for a prolonged holiday stay.

Great place with fantastic views from the rooftop to the sea. The rooms are spotless, bright and airy, offering all the comforts. Breakfast covers all tastes, while the renovation of the building, further upgrades the place it has gained all these years in the area, in the choices of travelers. As for those in charge, words are few. Very friendly and helpful, you feel like you are a member of their...

Great place - zero line, from the room directly to the beach! Hospitable host. A place to stay was chosen in advance and were not mistaken with the choice. Nearby are many shops and cafes. Heraklion is 30 minutes by car. Around there are many different tourist places that you can visit. Great stay!

Good location - 50m to the sea. Normal, clean rooms. There is a safe and a kettle, which is very convenient in the morning. Picturesque bay. There is practically no beach: a narrow shore and immediately the sea. There is a boat rental, but not cheap from 50 euros, a lot of cafes, also not cheap from 10 euros. Side sea view, if you look from the balcony forward, then there is an incomprehensible building...

We picked this hotel for our holiday in Crete, first if all the location is the best: in front of the sea, a few meters away from dinner locations and supermarket. The rooms must have been recently refurbished because they look so new and cosy. Very very clean, nothing was out of place. I don’t have any single complaint, I am happy, it’s perfect. Last but not least the owner is a legend, he is a total...

Amazing view, very clean, good food, very nice staff!

Originally reviewed 4 yrs ago, google deleted photos in error so reposting; Very happy to have stayed here in a small suite. You don't need more room and the price charged is very reasonable. The hotel is situated in the hill next to Agia Palagia, just a 10 minute walk to get there. Staff is very friendly and helpful with some tips of what to see/do and also what to avoid. Made it so we saw some...

We arrived quite late, but received such wonderful hospitality. Our room was clean and well maintained, the staff were endlessly helpful and kind to us. The town of Agia Pelagia is very nice, beautiful beach, good selection of shops and restaurants, and only a short walk from the hotel. It is also a good place to use as a base to explore around Crete by car.

Wow, I can’t rate this hotel high enough! I don’t know if 10 stars could justify how could this place was. Although I was travelling alone, the staff at the hotel were so accommodating, the boys recommended me places to see and go to. The traditional Greek food was amazing, and the small town of Agia Pelagia was beautiful. I will definitely be back to visit in the future.

The rooms are like in the picture, modern with comfortable new beds and modern 3-piece bathroom, with walk in shower. The view is fantastic from the balcony and there is a brand new Tesla air conditioning. The morning you can watch the sunrise in the terrace, around 8-9 the temperature raise as the room is exposed east, but well ventilated as the place is positioned high up. In the afternoon around...

The hotel was clean and our room was ready even when we arrived early. Staff was extremely kind and accommodating. The views were amazing and the distance to the beach was perfect(no more than a 10 minute walk). The location of the hotel was also ideal for exploring Crete, perfectly split between the two largest cities, successfully void of the ultra touristy feel. After exploring the whole island...

Loved my stay here! Amazing location & friendly staff Id definitely recommend this hotel. Agia pelagia is such a beautiful village in Crete 😍

Very quiet location on a hill. Hotels in direct sight but still ok. Sometimes you can hear the music or when guests are being brought to the hotel bunker by bus or a quad tour is starting. Cleaning lady very nice, we didn't see anyone else. It is cleaned 3 times a week. If we come back to Crete, gladly again here!

Wonderful apartments with magnificent sea views and only a ten minute walk from the beach. Car hire is recommended if you want to travel anywhere, but the apartments are so comfortable, you might not want to leave.

What a view and hospitality. We had a great holiday! Thank you!

My wife and I had already formed a very positive impression of Greece and the Greeks having in recent years started to visit the beautiful country. often.The Castello Infinity Suites in the delightful town of Agia Pelagia further heightened our love for the place. The hotel is terrifically located by the beach offering lovely views across the bay. We opted for a room with a plunge pool (most rooms...

Perfect location behind the beach with sea views. Be aware there is not a swimming pool but all rooms have plunge pools on the balcony. The hotel is spotlessly clean with professional and friendly staff. Breakfast can be taken on the terrace or in the restaurant and is served to order with an excellent offering. The rooms with Mountain View’s get the afternoon sun. Our was on 2nd floor and had lovely...

Wonderful experience. A small, but modern and exceptional hotel. From wine and sweets upon arrival to honey and local spices upon departure. Rooms with private pool. Beautiful views of the bay. Excellent breakfast (exquisite menu). Sauna and dry jacuzzi (thanks, Nikos). All our questions and requests were answered perfectly (thank you, Eri). The best hotel in the best location in Crete. We will definitely...

Just returned home from a week on our honeymoon. We stayed in an Aqua marine suite with a sea view. Room was spotless, staff very friendly on arrival. But no recognition they we were staying for our honeymoon, even though our travel agent advised them beforehand. So a bit disappointed. Also we had asked for a sunny balcony. But no sun whatsoever. It seemed that most of the rooms don’t get any sun...

A great stay The room and pool were really clean and the staff were really helpful and attentive. We ate at the restaurant and the food was delicious.

Had a week here in one of the refurbished rooms in block 7. Although we were immediately above the dining room there was minimal noise. Room had plenty of hanging space and drawers. Regular linen and towel changes. We used the pool area a few times - rarely more than a handful of guests around the pool. Beach was busy but ok to get beds if you went before 10am. Super handy for tavernas etc. Friendly...

If you want to spend some pleasant family time while meeting and learning about the local culture, come to the Belvedere. Top staff, small typical hotel, come and chat with the people, each more pleasant than the last. Agia Pelagía is a small, dynamic and very pleasant

I need information for Schengen that is not on the website, please tell me: 1. Exact address with house number 2. Email address

Agia Pelagia is a super little resort. Plenty of amazing food and drink, lovely beach, enough activities. Belvedere Village is perfect - lovely room, lovely staff, great location, great pool, felt safe. Professional. It was all easy going and happy and that made us have a lovely lovely holiday (parents to Sia who just turned 4!) thank you so much and we hope to come again!

Very nice hotel ! The breakfast is perfect and the rooms clean ! We come back for sure !!!thank you Belvedere team !

We were only there for a few hours before we got a late flight back to the UK but everything was fine. Good size rooms and beds with a modern fit-out. The location is great too - very close to the beach!

Nice hotel, quiet, clean, lots of greenery and flowers. Very responsive host. The beach is close by, there is a nice tavern on the beach. Breakfast is delicious but monotonous. Liked

Super clean, amazing view and lovely staff

A standard hotel in a kibbutz in Israel. Old, not aesthetic, an unpleasant smell in the room. Towels and sheets are changed only once every 3 days. Only the quiet and the external landscape can be charged.

A wonderful place where the rural climate prevails. Peaceful silence and the possibility of rest from the daily chase

Convenient location for traveling by car. Quiet, calm.

Magnificent property with spacious rooms all with magnificent views of the Mediterranean sea. Great breakfast, dinner @ Cremos restaurant for dinner was great. Another restaurant in the resort at Acro suites would be nice. Location was a bit remote if you wanted to eat away rom resort. Spa facilities were exceptional

Everything was perfect! Dreamy place, dream team 😍

The location and the view are outstanding. We loved the fact that our suite was built like a cave. Nice and friendly staff. Dinner was delicious. Great location for couples, very romantic. Highly recommend it

The hotel is amazing. Breakfast is delicious and restaurant is one of the best I have visited. Staff, it’s simply the best! Friendly, helpful and very attentive. So happy with our romantic getaway and can’t wait to be back!

When luxury finds nature.. Acro suites is the place to be. The vibes from the rocks of the mountain, the sea and the sky is the combination of the pure relaxation. Services, facilities and the suites are excellent. The staff is always there to assist you on any request you may have. The location of the restaurant is next to the pool, with an amazing view to the Cretan sea. The Cave suites capture the...

10/5**..unique rooms with the most beautiful view ever and really good design and super clean. Really good services at all facilities with very kind and really helpful stuff at front office. Spa is a dream that comes to life. The food is so amazing. One of the best meals i had ever. I recomment without hesitation.
