"Set on a spectacular stretch of Cretan beachfront, the Royal Blue Resort lives up to both of the adjectives in its name. No fewer than 38 pools dot the property, not to mention the sun-kissed sea of loungers and cabanas with private Aegean access. Ultra-luxe offerings on site include a jewelry shop, private wine tastings, and a full-service beauty spa. Rooms take advantage of stunning sea views with pendant lighting, plush earth-tone linens, and charming stonework details." - Tablet Hotels
