The Royal Senses Resort Crete, Curio Collection by Hilton

Hotel is not close to anything. Need to drive 5-10 minutes to the closest village for food etc. but it’s a very pretty seaside village. Room is ok. Need to have better shower drainage. Planning of the hotel is just not very thoughtful. Should have one funicular on both sides of this large hotel. The changing room for the swimming pool is like a 5 minutes walk away. Doesn’t make sense. And why did they put so much salt in the pool? Restaurant food was very mediocre and service was slow. So many hotel choices in Crete and this is definitely not the best.

My stay at The Royal Senses Hotel in Crete was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the warm and friendly staff who made me feel right at home. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, combining modern luxury with traditional Cretan touches that create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and offer breathtaking views of the sea, especially during sunset. Every detail, from the comfortable beds to the high-end amenities, was thoughtfully curated for maximum comfort. I especially loved the private pool, which added an extra layer of relaxation to my stay. Dining at the hotel was a highlight, with a variety of restaurants offering fresh, delicious, and locally sourced dishes. The Cretan cuisine was outstanding, and the service was attentive and professional. There’s something for every palate, and I never had a meal that wasn’t top-notch. The resort’s amenities are equally impressive, with a spa that provides indulgent treatments, a well-equipped fitness center, and multiple pools perfect for lounging. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing retreat or a base to explore Crete, The Royal Senses delivers on every front. The hotel’s location is ideal for exploring the island, with easy access to nearby beaches, charming villages, and historical sites. The staff also went above and beyond to offer recommendations and assist with arranging excursions. Overall, The Royal Senses Hotel is a perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Cretan hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay in Crete. This review highlights the hotel’s luxury, location, and excellent service, appealing to travelers seeking a high-end experience.

We have just stayed at this resort for 3 nights and we can honestly say it’s one of the friendliest, luxury feel hotels we have ever been too. From arriving at the hotel and being greeted by the lovely reception staff with a cold drink and snacks to be shown to the most stunning room with our own pool and then on check out receiving a gift. It was an amazing stay. The food in Gea the main restaurant, where buffet breakfast and dinner is served was excellent and had a wide selection of food to suit everyone . We had lunch each day in the paid for restaurant platia, the menu was full of Greek dishes but also had pizzas and pasta. We would recommend the pork gyros! We also had dinner in Mitato, as we were celebrating a birthday, we had steaks and food and service was also 10/10. All the staff were very friendly and would try and accommodate you in any way they could. We wished we could have stayed longer!

My adult daughter and I stayed at the Royal Senses in Crete on our holiday excursion to Greece. It was a highlight of our trip. The hotel is gorgeous and has all the amenities. We absolutely loved the hotel! The pools and the serene location was a must see. The staff was extraordinary. The hotel kitties were so cute and the location was great for getting around other areas of Crete. The food was delicious, I am not a fan of Buffets but they did a really great job with it and accommodating dietary needs. Best Holiday!!!
