"apartments were nice and clean, kitchen and bar area superb including the food. the staff were super friendly and lovely to deal with. sometimes can get noisy at night but hey, this is a party town. i would highly recommend this place.. i will return. Tim"

"We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. I'd especially like to mention Tina at the reception desk – she was incredibly friendly and helpful at all times, and her tips really made our vacation easier and more enjoyable. You can immediately tell that she cares about her guests. Excellent service, just what you'd expect! Many thanks to Tina; she's a true asset to the hotel."

"Really good facilities the manager in charge was helpful and made it easy and quality of place was good"

"Myself and two friends had a wonderful time at this hotel. The owners and staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is well looked after and clean and the rooms are a good size and have a balcony. There are two lovely swimming pools with bars at each. The bar food is amazing and really well priced. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of variety. Great location close to the Old Town and also the strip. There are small shops nearby for basic essentials and a large supermarket just a bit further down the road. I would definitely stay here again."

"Service was great, cleanliness was upkept. However, access to AC is a whopping 10 euros. Further, the location towards the small Sarpidon apartment is slightly far from heraklion and does go through narrow and small roads"

"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!"

"Nice place to stay for good price"

"Excellent location, super friendly and attentive owners and staff. Cleanliness is top level! Recommend for anyone and everyone"

"The owners went out of their way to ensure our comfort as much as they could. They even helped us out with a scale for our luggage. Our overall experience was good, however the reason that I give it only 4 stars is that there were material/structural improvements that could have improved our stay. The key switched everything off when removed from its slot inside the room, which was annoying, so, we had to use our phone lights to lock and unlock the door, that had a massive hole at the bottom where our mosquito visitors came in at night lol. Also, be aware, if you're tall or a bit on the heavy side, you wont fit on the toilet. They can also do with changing the bedding more than 1ce as it happened once on our week-long stay. Even though the cleaner came three times, she changed the bedding only on the Friday, as i saw the stains that were on the sheets before she showed up still there afterwards. Their policy states tht they change every second day, but i think something went wrong, which i'll discount to human error. But these are mino things other than which I would have given this establishment 5 stars, as the rest of our experience was very good."
