Overlooking the sea in a suburb of the Creten city of Agios Kilolaos, the Blue Marine Resort & Spa is an upper-middle-range all-inclusive property that touts itself as a high-end luxury hotel but doesn't quite deliver on the promise. The 202 rooms are bright and sunny but far from luxurious, with simple white tiling, light-finish wood furniture, and dated bedspreads, but balconies and flat-screen TVs take the vibe up a notch. The resort features, while not quite upscale, are considerably more impressive, and include a beautiful spa, a large outdoor pool, an impressive kids' club with its own pool, and plenty of activities, including sports, live entertainment, a fitness center, three restaurants, and four bars. Travelers may want to compare rates at the Miramare Resort & Spa, which has chicer rooms.
