Нам очень задержали самолет, и хоть по условиям, заселение до 21:00, нас заселили в 1:00 без проблем. Мы бронировали номер с выходом в бассейн, но нас переселили в виллу с личным бассейном) спасибо вам огромное за это) благодаря этому наши 2 дня на Крите - были потрясающими. Так же, нам в номере оставили ужин, чтоб мы могли покушать после тяжелого перелета) Вилла огромная и просторная, бассейн был с теплой водой) номер очень стильный) До пляжа всего лишь 2 минуты пешком) Еда на завтраке, обеде и ужине - просто потрясающая) вино безлимитное)

Hotel far exceeded our expectations. We thought it would be good but it was excellent. We were a group of 10 celebrating a birthday and they really could not do enough for us. Our only small criticism was we booked on one booking thinking all our rooms would be next door to each other, so we didn’t annoy others, we had a room between us and the other guests we felt didn’t like that. I would highly recommend every thing about it and would definitely return, less than 10 mins from airport. Stylish hotel, clean and modern, Food and drink quality excellent. Service from the staff amazing.

We came to this hotel for our honeymoon so chose it particularly because it was a small, beach front, all inclusive and highly rated hotel. We stayed in a room with a shared swim up pool. The positives are plentiful. The hotel is gorgeously furnished and well laid out. We loved the outside spaces especially and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was amazing both in the all inclusive restaurant and the a la carte restaurant. So much choice and all very high quality. Our room was fantastic and we loved having the extra luxury of the swim up pool for starting and ending the day, although spent most of our time on the stunning beach which is right outside. We arrived very late and were delighted to find a plate of meats and cheeses and other treats in our room. The door had been adorned with a ribbon and wooden heart to recognise our honeymoon and a bottle or red wine with a card was inside. A really lovely touch. Other positives included the little reading library upstairs where I managed to leave my two finished books for other visitors to enjoy and the waiter service to the sun loungers which was absolutely outstanding. We ordered cocktails and drinks and lovely lunches on the app and they were delivered quickly and with a smile everytime. First class! A couple of niggles to mention although it wouldn't put us off returning, (once there is a new airport because that was a whole different story) My husband had an enbarrassing moment where he accidentally used the ladies toilets in the hotel. He came out mortified but assured me that he had checked the sign and it was the same as the downstairs toilet sign for the mens toilets. So we checked it out! The black symbol for mens toilets downstairs and outside is indeed the exact same symbol used inside the hotel for the women toilets! ( to be fair there was some white lettering underneath the symbols but it was stuck onto a white door so not very obvious and my husband’s eye sight isn't that great so he hadn't even seen it!) It might be worth managers checking it out. Also, we were informed that we could use the a la carte restaurant twice on a 10 day stay so we booked for a couple of days after arriving and when we went to book again it said there must be 9 clear says between bookings. If we had known that we would have booked immediately on arrival so that felt a little unfair but the food was great anyway so no real problem. Finally, the lovely gesture of a bottle of red wine that we were given for our honeymoon, and which we were going to bring home to celebrate with loved ones was spolit when it was removed from our room the day before we checked out by the cleaning staff. I was gutted about this and probably should have complained but that's just not my style. It should have remained until after check out I believe, so that guests who may have saved it for their last night of holiday or who wanted to take it home are not let down. Anyway, overall this was a fantastic holiday

Stayed week of 21 August. Couldn’t fault the hotel. Staff constantly cleaning inside and out. Not many sun beds around the pool but could still find around 8.30. Plenty all day on the lovely beech. Plenty of choices for food over the week with the option of burgers etc from pool bar delivered to loungers. Excellent cocktails available and served by great staff. Evening entertainment not so great tbh. Reception arranged a taxi for us to visit Heraklion one day. €25 each way or could have used local bus. Was able to arrange to keep a room to 6pm on our leaving day. Was €60 but was well worth it for 4 of us to be able to enjoy our last day. Special mention to Kleo serving drinks etc in the evening who was always welcoming and remembered drinks from previous. Will certainly return.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, look no further. We stayed at Unique Blue for my mother’s birthday and it was beyond amazing. From the warm welcome with champagne, a delicious cake, fruit platter and card, to the breathtaking sea-view room and infinity pool – every moment felt magical. The service is what truly sets this resort apart. Every staff member was kind, attentive and professional. The manager even arranged a surprise fine dining experience at Thymises – world-class cuisine in a stunning setting. Add to that spotless housekeeping, excellent all-inclusive dining, and thoughtful farewell gifts, and you get an unforgettable experience. We only stayed two nights, but left with lifetime memories. Unique Blue is a resort that knows how to make guests feel truly special – highly recommended and we can’t wait to return!

My wife and I visited over 25 countries and sometimes more than once, to say this hotel is one of the best I’ve ever been to is understatement the hotel location close to the airport and close to town. Room is excellent and very very clean, I stayed in garden view from my experience at beach resort the music could be loud and I wasn’t wrong, the food was one of the best I’ve eaten and the selection is great. Will definitely comeback.

Honestly one of the most beautiful places I have been to!! From the get go everything was perfect. We were given a swim up pool room, which is honestly absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. Although the sun beds are sparse, and always gone by 7:45/8am when we went for breakfast, there were plenty of spaces on the beach which is just as beautiful! There’s an app to order drinks to your bed whether at the pool or on the beach. Watching the planes going past us being so close to the airport was a lot of fun! The rooms are beautiful, the staff incredible and the whole holiday was incredible. We are most definitely coming back again, I really cannot wait to spend more time here! The two little dogs on the beach who came and sat beside us most days, chilling in the shade was just the sweetest way to start a day!!

Where to start?...everything about this place is simply fantastic, the staff excel in every area, cleaning, reception, the bars and restaurants. You are always met with a smiling face and served to a very high standard every time. The location: literally a 5-10 min journey from the airport, you'll be the first drop off if on a package deal but the last pick up on way home (would arrange own transfer on return journey next time for speed) The hotel: fantastic, well planted grounds, stunning architectural design in every aspect, the main reception area, indoor bar and restaurant have a very high end luxury feel and are kept spotless at all times. As are the pool and outdoor sitting areas and the snack/ drinks bar where you can order cocktails and food to your sun lounger during the day (next level), service is always speedy as well. The rooms: we had a swim up room on the West side of the building and would highly recommend this side as you get the Sun all afternoon, it's like a wee Sun trap and being able to cool off in pool is again next level (although in early May the water temperature was a bit Baltic in all the pools) but could still have a dip now and then. The quality and attention to detail in the decor is superb, solid oak finishes, numerous mood lighting options, very modern shower/bathroom area, exceptionally comfy bed with a pillow menu option, lots of storage options, good light and sound proofing as well, you would never know your so close to the airport! The food: outstanding range and quality of dishes for all inclusive, at all meal times there is a lot to choose from, the fact you can get a bottle of wine with your meal adds a quality dining factor as well, staff are always at hand replenishing food, setting tables and serving drinks. The a la carte restaurant was excellent, felt that you were dining out at a top restaurant, all Greek dishes and lots on offer, staff here again help make it a special experience and we saved it for our Anniversary night meal and were so glad we did. The entertainment: we stayed a week and had 3 nights of live entertainment, Greek musicians and dancers one night who were top class and created a great atmosphere, quality female jazz/easy listening singer and keyboardist on another night, again created a nice relaxed vibe and on another night we had 2 guys playing folk/rock acoustic music who were top quality, on the other nights there's a DJ playing chilled house/80's mixes who created the perfect relaxing atmosphere, especially outside next to the firepits. Can't think of any negatives from our stay at all, other than possibly hiring a few more bar staff, as the same people seem to put in some shifts and a few more servers would lighten their load and speed up service. There's not many sunbeds at the pool so you'll need to be early to bag one but if not you'll definitely get one on the beach. Some music around the pool and beach during the day would create a nice atmosphere, it can feel a bit quiet.T
