Pyrgos Blue

This was the second time we have visited Pyrgos Blue and it won’t be the last. The hotel has an undeniable charm, that emanates from the warmth of the family. On a practical level, the rooms are beautifully clean, large comfortable beds, and everything you need for a relaxing stay. Im sorry I didn’t get the cleaners name but she deserves a mention as she is there from dawn to dusk and works so hard! However, the appeal of the place is not just the stunning views, blue sea wherever you look, sunshine galore… but it’s the way the family make the customers feel so at home. You receive a warm and friendly welcome every day, the same faces.. working so hard yet always greet you with a smile. Manos is the funniest person there, not only has a great sense of humour but also the ability to speak to anyone in their level, and kindly explains things to you about the local area, or food or places of interest. Toula is a wonderful lady, graceful and kind. Helpful and makes delicious food for us. Nothing is too much to ask for, Toula will get it done! Then their adult son and daughter Elena and Vangelis, who both work the bar are also very hard working and helpful, always bringing a sense of calm and peace to the place. The overall ambience is a holiday where you can do as much or as little as you like. I love that it is not a big hotel, full of loud,annoying, drunk Brits…( and I am British by the way) … But instead, it’s a comfortable, peaceful place you can read your books and be left alone. The food is great, lots of restaurants to try close by..I’d recommend Avli and Odas to try. If you are looking for somewhere to chill, where you can find peace and tranquility, look no further. We can’t wait to go back!

Booked a Suite with seaside view for 5 nights in August, we only stayed for one after discovering the real views include an abandoned building. Warning as you will not see this on any of their websites or google. Rooms from inside were nice but beds were hard and the WIFI was very weak. Such a disappointment. If you wish to stay here, I would suggest to request a room on the opposite side of the abandoned 3 storey eyesore.

We've stayed in Pyrgos Blue hotel for a week. The room where we stayed was suites with terrace and garden view, it was very nice and very well decorated. The bed was large and comfortable, the walk-in shower, the toilet, and they also provides water boiler and nespresso coffee machine in the unit. They also provide basic amenities and beach towel, too. At the pool bar you can also purchase breakfast ala carte. It was all nice and fresh prepared. I'll definitely recommend this place! Ps: the airco also works so well!

The most perfect location where you can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Crete and yet only 10 minutes walk from the lively centre of Malia. The rooms and grounds are immaculate and this small family hotel offers everything you could resonably wish for. The views of both sunrise and sunset were stunning and every day brought a new dimension. I was mesmerised by the beauty. While the hotel is superb, the real highlight is the people who bring it to life. Monos and Tula have warmth and kindness that is genuine and inspirational. The entire gardening and cleaning team become your friends. I will be back!

I stay in hundreds of hotels with my job and I can honestly say this hotel was one of the best I have ever stayed at. The location is perfect; minutes to the beach, sea views and only a short walk into town with many many restaurants and bars. it even has a useful menu to order food and drinks by the pool. I literally cannot fault it.
