The Royal Blue Resort originated as a traditional Cretan property in the 1980s before undergoing extensive restoration to become a luxury destination wedding venue.
Perched above the Geropotamou coastline near Panormo, the hotel preserves its architectural heritage while offering contemporary amenities across its clifftop location.
The property now operates as part of the Troilis Royal Collection, blending regional character with upscale hospitality for ceremonies and receptions.
We had a wonderful stay at The Royal Blue Hotel in Crete. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome – everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and always happy to help with anything we needed. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean, creating a really relaxing atmosphere. The food was a highlight of our trip – absolutely delicious with plenty of choice at every meal. Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, everything was fresh and full of flavour. The service in the restaurant was excellent too, which made dining even more enjoyable. Overall, this is a perfect place for a relaxing holiday in Crete. Friendly staff, immaculate rooms, and fantastic food – we couldn’t have asked for more. We would definitely recommend The Royal Blue Hotel to anyone visiting the island and look forward to returning again soon!
