Pyrgos Blue is the most stunning and peaceful place I have ever stayed! The rooms are beautifully decorated and scrupulously clean (thank you Rona!) and well-equipped. The sea views, sunrises and sunsets from my balcony took my breath away on a daily basis. The food and drink at the Beach Bar was always delicious, freshly made and top-quality. The location was perfect for me, a 10-minute walk to supermarkets and tavernas, and a 2-minute walk to the beach. There are also some beautiful sand dunes to visit a little further away but easily walkable (Potamos beach). Finally, the warmth of the family who run it, Manos, Tula and Elena, literally blew me away - always a smile (despite it being end of season), nothing was too much trouble. I am definitely going back next year (and probably every subsequent year!!)

Nothing!

Room - The hotel room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, it matched the pictures online and still managed to surpass our expectations! The bed was huge, super comfy with amazing high quality pillows that you just sink right into - the best sleep I’ve had in years! We liked that the toilet and shower were separate, and absolutely loved the wet room shower! The room had very spacious storage for clothes etc, with a safe in the wardrobe which was free to use - a great bonus as we’ve had to pay to use safes in the past at other hotels. Our room had a sea side view from the balcony which we loved sitting out on, I did my makeup out there every night so I could soak up the views! Location - We found the location of the hotel to be absolutely perfect for us, being away from the noise of the strip and any traffic. Cleanliness - The whole hotel is kept to an incredibly high standard, we never found any of the communal areas such as the pool or bar area to be even moderately dirty, and our room was cleaned immaculately every day. Food - The food available at the hotel was great, a nice variety of food options available throughout the day, not the mention the incredible value for money with how cheap it all was! Pool - The pool was excellent, not freezing cold, not warm, just the perfect temperature to cool off in! The pool was plenty big enough for all guests to use without feeling cramped or overcrowded. There were plenty of pool loungers dotted around the outside area as well, we never struggled to find somewhere to lie out, even when sunbathing later in the afternoon. Staff - The staff at the Pyrgos were so lovely, it is clear how passionate they are about running their hotel and ensuring that their visitors have the best experience possible throughout their stay.

There was nothing to dislike about the Pyrgos Blue, it has set my standards exceptionally high for my future travels!

Everything was beyond reproach in my opinion. The staff were professional but friendly and could not do enough for their guests. The location was perfect for me - a quiet oasis but not far (10 minute walk) to the town and the hotel was spotless and comfortable with a style that reflected the owner's unique personalities. The restaurant served fresh, local produce and the facilities provided covered every expectation.

Nothing - perfect for me thanks!

Small family run hotel, very clean with very personalized attitude to the guests. We lived in Suite with 2 rooms and big terrace faced to the see. Perfect location, right next to see. Stuff was incredibly helpful, special thanks to Elena 🙏 Breakfast a la carte, very fresh and big choice for very good value. We also had lunch there because the food was simple, but very fresh and tasty. Best cocktail Pyrgos Spritz 🥳

I cannot mention anything

Beautiful modern hotel right on the ocean. We had an oceanview room with a balcony at the front overlooking the pool and beach. Perfect place to spend the last 3 nights of our 3 week vacation! Just outside of Malia so its far enough away from the noise & busyness. A tip: we loved Amelia's Taverna in nearby Sisi. Make a reservation on a Monday or Friday night for a fun night of live greek music & dancing (even some plate smashing). A fun family run taverna, even the kids were dancing!

We found the pillows too firm and overstuffed.

Family run gorgeous hotel. We were truly blessed to have been hosted by them. Manos runs the hotel bar at night and is the main attraction in all Crete (ask him to try his Raki 😉). From our room we could see a small church on an island and from our balcony we had the most gorgeous view of the sea and city to our left. Fresh towels and cleaning daily with extremely comfortable bedding and bed. A 12/10 stay and we will return.

Nothing at all

We loved everything about our stay. Absolutely amazing family owned hotel: nice pool, beautiful rooms, good food and extremely friendly staff. If you’re looking for a place where you can 100% relax while still being close to the touristic places, this is the spot for you ⭐️. Special thanks to Manos for being a great host.

Very well organized property - the pool, the bar. The rooms are more like studios. Incredible direct sea view from the balcony with Marinaki island in the middle. So close to the sea you hear it. Great tiny beach, not for swim. You can relax by the pool or at the garden. For us the room wasn't important - the balcony was!

The room was facing North and we expected full shadow all day, but not at this time of the year. At least one side of the terrace was on shadow tho. We found it strange to have a Nespresso coffee machine in the room but no capsules to use it!

This hotel has the best position among all the hotels which have beach access in the zone. Not only you can super quickly get to the water, but it’s also slightly separated from the rest of the hotels, which are stacked one next to the other, thus giving you a much needed calm for your vacation. Moreover, the people working there are all great and very helpful. Even with stuff way beyond their official duties.

Nothing really. Everything was great.

Large room with updated bath. King size bed, big balcony, great sea view of Malia Beach. Quiet location away from Malia strip. Beautiful and large pool area with lots of pool deck and yard seating. Great view for breakfast from poolside restaurant, Prices for food and drinks very reasonable. Easy walking distance to restaurants and shops in old town.

Hard to find check in desk at first. There is a check in for the apartments in same building. New construction of another hotel or similar on the property just west of Pyrgos Blue. While no construction going on, it did slightly obstruct sea view to the west.
