Blue Aegean Aparthotel

The hotel was clean, today and well presented including rooms, gardens, pool area and restaurant/bar areas. Staff friendly and obliging. The game room could donwith a bit of an upgrade with some air con added too. It was too hot for the kids, even in the evenings! Food was always plentiful with a choice of fish, meat, veggie, pasta and fresh fruit and salad available every meal. Food was very average. Edible and pleasant enough just nothing I would rave about.

The hotel overall is okay. Firstly I will say if you want a sun bed make sure it’s reserved before you go to bed the night before otherwise you’ve got no chance. The food is lovely however feel there could be abit more Choices for children. Pizzas were incredible! I feel the all inclusive needs to be reviewed as there are times during the day you can’t even get a soft drink and are refused service until time. The alcoholic drinks were poor, beer average and would expect cocktails to be included in an all inclusive property they weren’t here. Kids club non existent, kids games room awful and the play area is okay but too hot to play on it during the day. Lacks any real entertainment and could do with animation teams. Good location for the beach but abit of a walk into gouves itself. Rooms basic with air conditioning which didn’t really keep you cool due to the location of the unit. We were there 10 nights and I think the maid only cleaned 3 times, as they come around too early and if you are asleep your missed. Would I visit Gouves again…..yes, not to this hotel though. Try the St Constantine round the corner.

Highly recommended, I would go back to this hotel Staff are excellent, very friendly, hard working and helpful. Accommodation is excellent, very clean, one minor fault fixed very quickly Resort is lovely and quiet, but with everything that you need. Air plane noise can be heard often in the resort

We went back to the Blue aegeen this year, and we cant fault it, our suite was lovely and clean and comfortable, the family that own the hotel are warm friendly and welcoming, the foods is brilliant fresh and varied every day, the barman Anthonio couldnt have been more professional and always cheerful as was the rest of the staff, we are definitely going back next year.

We really enjoyed our weeks stay all staff were very friendly and helpful the rooms were clean and spacious there was a good selection of food available and the photos of the hotel and pool area were just like the website. Allan & Janice from Co Durham

Overall the hotel was OK. The staff are friendly , rooms are basic but clean, The food was OK got a bit tedious by day 6. Overall a nice place to visit , good choice of beaches , quiet location short bus ride into Heraklion

Hotel was lovely.. they went out of their way to make my mum's stay good as she's in a wheelchair...the food was good plenty of choice..you would never be hungry but didn't enjoy the all inclusive alcohol...would recommend this hotel though. The staff friendly and helpful

The hotel was clean and tidy. Rooms were serviced everyday. Staff were excellent, food was good, i have read complaints about the stairs at the hotel. I did have an issue with them too, but spoke to the owner and was moved to a grounfloor apartment the next morning. There's no-one trying to sell you Spa and Massages every five minutes (Although they are available) Pool is good plenty of sun lounges. A great experience.

We chose this site for our first trip to Crete, while looking for last minute deals online.This was only our second time abroad as a family, so some of our expectations and experiences may colour the review slightly.The location of the Blue Aegean is a very short walk from the local beach, which is completely open to the north of the mediterranean, and as such can lead to the beaches having quite rough waves at times.Our trip here just happened to coincide with a local event which sees the area visited by quite high winds. This is fine because with the average temp being above 28 deg C, the winds while giving a cooling effect are actually quite warm so it makes for a very comfortable day on the beach.In and around Guaves, there are plenty of beach side Taverna's where you can get snacks if your spending the day at the beach.As for the Blue Aegean, for someone who went half-board, the selection of foods provided for breakfast and dinner, was always plentiful and with enough variation that aside from anything eaten during the day, your well fed when on site.Rooms are cleaned everyday (except sunday) and all bedrooms come with a minimum of a 32" LED tv. Which is great if you speak Greek (or German....)Each apartment's main bedroom(s) also have aircon, which while not the most efficient, will cool the room down well enough after a short time of being on, though be aware, the smaller (1 bed) apartments have sensors on the doors and windows which prevent the AC from being switched on if they are open.There's nothing bad to say about this location considering its rating. Drinks are adequately priced if your using the bar on site, enough so that its cheaper than patronizing one of the taverna's if your on the beach all day.The only down side to the site, is the Pool...and everyone who wants to use it. Again, because its only our second time abroad as a family, its the first time we've encountered the age old joke about the "Germans and their towels on the Sun loungers before 8am"....well, its EVERYONE, not just the Germans.The pool area is a great sun trap throughout the day, so a lot of families staying there tend to do just this, and the moment the staff have the loungers out they're there, ready to pick the best one that's closest to their room.On the whole, we had a great time here, and if you want the beach, then 10 mins walk back along the beachfront towards Heraklion is a great sheltered harbour/bay should you not want to be playing in waves

Just back from a family holiday. Lovely hotel with very friendly staff always willing to help. Good range of food. Entertainment was every other night but this was good as we wanted a relaxing stay rather than busy evenings. Only downside was on leaving, we had a late flight home and they do not let you use a room to shower and change in unless you are happy to pay €50. So had to use the public toilets in the hotel which had one toilet and one shower in. Trying to get dressed whilst others used it was quite difficult with a family young children to assist.

Full of Russians ignorant people food good but Beer absolutely appalling watered down and expensive not much atmosphere location made up for it and a few good local bars beach and sea great but be warned a lot of under currants and quite a few people nearly drowned
