Reviews
The main dining area is really big and being able to sit outside meant you didn't feel like you were going to the same restaurant for every meal! Lots of fresh food options, the grill and the salad bars were excellent. The causal dining options were also great with a range of family friendly food available.
Having a separate bar area from the entertainment means you can choose a more peaceful spot in the evening, or get involved in the fun.
The pools are fab - a 50 metre pool on holiday! Even when it was busy it didn't feel busy. Plenty of sunbeds available around the pools or on the peaceful sun terrace.
Theres not a lot to walk to nearby and the local beaches are taken up by sunbeds from the bars, but we'd recommend a walk into Koutouloufari for a look round the shops or a drink in the evening.
Cons-I've traveled numerous places and stayed in ALL-INCLUSIVE and NONE ALL-INCLUSIVE Resorts and never have I ever had to pay to use the safe. Paying 3 Euro's a day to use the safe inside of the room that I paid ALL-INCLUSIVE for is ridiculous. I only found out there was a charge because I kept getting an error once I tried to unlock it and had to call receptionist. I was told I had to come pay and someone will come and unlock it. Once my partner got to the receptionist and told them we were no longer going to use it, the guy said; then they wouldn't charge then and after all it's been less than 24 hrs since we started using it. They came unlocked it, we took our stuff out and they locked it. 1 Euro foe beach towels and 2 Euro's for safe in luggage room. Restaurants and snack bars close at 9:30, Bars close at 1:00 am but there in a mini market that seems to be open late or maybe even 24 hrs.
What is the point of all-inclusive if there are hidden fees? If you use a washcloth bring your own, (Face & bath towel provided)
The Royal Belvedere Resort offers various pools, dining and recreation options for couples and families. We really went for the Olympic 50 meter swimming pool. We swim laps and this was a challenge as our regular pool is 25 meters. Also we went a little off season. Food was good and plenty of it. We also took a taxi to the Old Hersonissos village and walked back. My wife had a great time shopping by the beach area shops. We will go back.
Neutral: Rooms "to refresh", clearing common areas, location without convention with beach, reception (confusion and not coordinate).
Negative: clearing room (very surface and change towels only) and run every morning for occuped sunbed near pools (before 7.00 am): in August.
