Our stay at the Radisson Blu Crete was a memorable experience with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The spacious rooms were a highlight, especially the private whirlpool on the terrace. While the food was generally excellent, the dining experience was marred by some extra charges for drinks. The staff were attentive but occasionally overwhelmed, and the long distance from local attractions made it less convenient for exploration. Overall, a great choice for relaxation despite some minor hiccups.
