🏠 Our Rooms
We stayed in a Double Room with a Sea View – spacious, clean, and well-equipped with a fridge, microwave, TV, safe, and plenty of sockets. The balcony had a great view of the Olympic pool and sea
The hotel was spotless throughout, and every member of staff we encountered was friendly, helpful, and clearly worked very hard to keep everything running smoothly
One of the best resorts we’ve ever encountered: amazing food variety and quality, competent and friendly staff, excellent facilities, great beach and pools, convenient location.
The beach is amazing, the pools are very nice and clean, the staff and dining was great, we had an amazing time and we’re very happy that we booked this resort for two weeks!
The resort is huge so although it was full, you couldn’t feel it. Nice activities, lots of pools, you can always find a spot with a sun bed in one of the pools
It was an excellent experience from start to finish!
✈️ Travel & Location
Our trip was booked with Jet2 Holidays, flying from Leeds Bradford Airport. The flight should have been 3. 5 hours, but we had a 4-hour delay

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
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 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
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
We loved our stay (August 2025) at the Royal And Imperial Belvedere hotel. Our room was great, newly decorated and spotlessly clean
The causal dining options were also great with a range of family friendly food available

Pool: Pool, Heated pool
The facilities are great but many people still used towels to reserve sunbeds even though the resort states towels will be removed (they were not). We traveled in October half term and were very lucky with the wether
The restaurants offer something for everyone, from delicious local dishes to international favourites, all cooked to perfection. The pools are crystal-clear and plentiful, so there’s always a perfect spot to relax
The staff at the Enomy main buffet restaurant were mostly okay but many staff were rude or not attentive at all (we sat waiting for cutlery and to be asked our drinks order for ages and then had to try and find someone)
We had an absolutely amazing holiday at Creta Maris! 🌞 The resort exceeded every expectation — beautifully designed, spotless, and full of charm
The resort was beautiful and well maintained. If you want any drinks with American liquor there us an upcharge.
The tennis courts were great and facilities for children also enjoyable

We were guests in this Hotel for 7 days. Superior Hotel, clean and nice. Our rooms comfortable with a nice view to the Pools. Food & Beverages tasteful and always enough
We were very lucky to revieve an upgrade on our room which had a pool!
Great food, friendly staff, drinks are amazing and the bar staff takes their time to prepare them, beautiful beach and the spa was very relaxing. My daughter and I enjoyed our facials!
The massage here was really good. I was treated by Albora, she was very friendly and polite, and the massage was perfect. The products smell amazing. Highly recommended!!!
I visited the spa with my daughter for the Cretan masssage. We both thouroughly loved this and would recommend. Albora is very good.
We booked a different hotel and really didn’t feel comfortable so found this place and transferred here the same night of check in

A special mention to Maria at the pool bar who was always so lovely and looked after us perfectly around the pool
The pool area is ok,end of season and the grass was well worn and dirty,the pool waa freezing so only the odd brave person in there! Maria was the loveliest waitress though and ensured we never went without anything
My personal opinion has been it's been difficult to entertain the children here for the last week at the end of October. The pools are absolutely freezing. In fact even though the sea is cold it's warmer than the pools
And that heating very pool is unrealistic. It's tiny and it wouldn't cost you alot to heat it. It could really use the investment. The mini golf is tired, broken and old and could also use some investment
The final issue is the indoor pool which was tired looking and had no entertainment for the kids there. There clearly used to be a bar there as well
The beach isn't the best as no sand but lovely setting, even though there is a restaurant there you cannot eat there unless you have pre booked for 1 of your al a carte meals which is a shame as only other alternative was a hot dog or melon out of a machine

The place was clean, I agree rooms maybe need some upgrades but ours was more than adequate for our needs. Kids paid for room WiFi which worked fine but I was happy with access around the rest of the hotel
The team in the restaurant worked so hard and the bar staff worked equally as hard, despite some very rude guests! We sauntered down to the nearest supermarket and also took a taxi to the old town, again everyone was so friendly
The only downsides were the salt water pools and the food not accommodating for children. Apart from that we had an amazing time!!
The hotel's outstanding quality is its staff. The reception is very professional. I'm thinking especially of Maria at reception, who was incredibly helpful and saved our stay by finding a suitable room for my mother
People in Crete, in general, are grumpy. Im talking about local people not but stranger workers. I've rarely seen anything like it. On the other hand, the foreign workers are always polite and helpful
The most beautiful beach in the area is the one in front of the Hotel Meditereneo and right in front of the open-air museum on the beach. The center of Hersosissos is lively and has many local shops
Service throughout the hotel was amazing and cannot fault at all. The hotel is clean and well maintained. Beach is a pebble/rocky beach, this didnt bother us as we were happy by the pool
There's an astro pitch, tennis courts and arcades and pool table for other entertainment. Unfortunately, didn't get an opportunity to try the sushi bar but it looked really nice
Our second stay this year! Amazing hotel. I'd accidently booked the wrong room type, and we were upgraded for free. Giannis provided excellent service around the pool
The hotel itself is amazing with three pools and plenty of bars with four a la crate restaurants and a sushi bar alongside the main restaurant
The food at the restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve ever had. The location was also perfect — close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing
The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a stunning view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities were top-notch — from the high-speed Wi-Fi to the luxurious bathroom products

It’s very unusual to have this paid, while other hotels nearby offer it for free. Ice-cold swimming pools at this time. Very few people dared to bathe there. The sea was warmer than the pool
Room cleaned (very quickly) every day, main toiletries like shampoo and soap provided. The animation team was great during the day and kids' disco night were awesome. NEGATIVES: Paid WiFi in the rooms
The food was good, lots of fresh fruits and salads, perfect for the hot weather
Solid 4* hotel, but not 5* and here few notes: Positive moments: Lots of greenery with plants and trees everywhere, the feeling is like in private mini tropical garden
The food was really high quality every meal. Staff were friendly and helpful and the pools are nice, especially the one where you can sit at the bar inside the pool
Having no wi fi in the rooms challenges it's 4 star rating as does paying to play pool. However, at this time of year it's great for pool access and room to sit and,eat. Overall I enjoyed my time here

All in all a good place to stay, although well unfortunately won’t consider staying there in the future. Following aspects didn’t meet our expectations/were inconvenient:
1. Pool wasn’t heated (bad in autumn/winter)

Our stay for our honeymoon was amazing. The staff upgraded us to the most incredible room, and every single staff member is extremely kind and friendly. The all inclusive food was delicious and plentiful
I stayed at this hotel for 7 days, and my experience exceeded my expectations. The staff were lovely and attentive, and all my requests were fully satisfied. The food was tasty, with a good variety of options available
The hotel’s facilities were excellent, and the atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. The only minor drawback was that the pool is quite small, but it doesn’t take away from the overall great experience
From the moment i arrived at the Palmera Spa Hotel, i knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation, modern comfort wrapped in a serene, welcoming setting
Food was well varied and always of good quality, we ate well every day, there were plenty of drink options. The garden with the sunlougers was very beautiful and was a nice place to ay in the sun and relax
Awesome experience, the spa is amazing, was sceptical at first due to the drive there but the hotel, the staff and the pools , beach and spas are amazing .
I had a great holidays really loveky 100 proccent recommended and will goo againn we did everything from sport too entertaining and had a lovely massage from maria the besttt the beach was very joyfull and the sea always calm great food 100procent the best
We had a lovely experience it was amazing very beatifull hotel and all workers was really friendly we had a really good massage from aegio spa drom maria and leonidas it was the best and we had an amazing volleyball with liam everything was perfect food great and sea view room also thank you very muchh
Being British we thought it might be awkward, but people are polite and friendly and we found people to chat with. We love the open garden spaces and close proximity to the beach. We also joined in yoga and tennis
All the staff are welcoming, friendly, and work hard to be sure you have a relaxing holiday. The rooms and facilities are super clean, the food is fresh and varied
And I also profited from the professional treatment in the Aegeo Spa, especially the professional body massage by Miss Bosso, which I really can recommend
The staff were all amazing and we definitely noticed the luxury service in the house keeping frequency, room service speed and professionalism and the mini bar refreshes. Best all inclusive food we have had
We had a wonderful time at the resort. We enjoyed the spa. The food was very good. We enjoyed the community cats also. We will be back. Nick was a very big help to us throughout our entire stay.
Food, staff, rooms and all facilities are great. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The swim-up was fantastic, quiet most of the time and waiter service to pool side was unexpected but appreciated
We stayed for a week in a suite with a private pool and loved it. The staff were excellent to a fault, especially the bar staff - couldn't rate them high enough
• The dining options are diverse thanks to the various themed restaurants, for which guests receive meal vouchers, ensuring a great variety of food experiences
The food was much better than your average all inclusive resort, especially the Veranda for breakfast (courtesy of our room) and Abrazo Mexican

Any query we had was dealt with perfectly by the front desk where whoever we spoke to was more than happy to go above and beyond to help. Pool staff were really lovely and bar staff too
The music in the day was not too loud which was great and almost sunbeds were in sunlight most of the day too which was great for October! The pool was always very clean and not too busy even though the hotel was fully booked, and rarely had reserved sunbeds too
Our stay at Cooks Club Hersonissos was amazing. Firstly the staff were all incredible
With half board, you get a credit to spend — which is actually a clever system — and the food itself was very good and delicious. But having to pay extra for a cappuccino at breakfast is just absurd
That should simply be included 🤷🏼♀️
The location is great too being only a 5 minute walk from most busy restaurants at the seafront
Not only are there 2 pools, but also a sea down the street. You can ride jetskis in the sea. There's also a bar, an 8-ball place and a lot of shops nearby from this hotel
The hotel has a great pool deck, two well maintained pools, and plenty of sunbeds, and waiters are on hand all the time to bring drinks. A really nice resort hotel, well run, and great staff
I really love this place! I like the food from the buffet, you can choose what to eat in the morning or in the evening. The rooms are a little small for my liking though
June 25 was our first visit to this resort hotel. Our room was smallish but contained everything we needed. The overall facilities of the hotel were very good. Staff, very friendly and welcoming
However, I do like the feature where you let the cleaning ladies just clean your room. Not to mention the staff are really nice and they guide you through the room
The cool elevator had Greek music while you are inside! Pleasant relaxing smell in the lobby lounge made me feel like home and always welcomed. To the beach was 3 minutes walk

The hotel exudes luxury with top-notch amenities, including a stunning pool area with comfortable sunbeds perfect for relaxation. The beautifully decorated rooms also offer breathtaking views and are impeccably clean
We also got a room upgrade for the last two days with a private pool all for free !!!! Over all it was an incredible time and im sure im coming back to the resort, as soon as I can
Alright, I've removed "Crete, Greece" from the review: From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in an atmosphere of unparalleled luxury and warmth. This hotel isn't just a place to stay; it's an experience
The staff are the heart of this establishment, each member radiating genuine friendliness and attentiveness, making every interaction a pleasure. Their dedication to guest satisfaction is truly remarkable
Our stay at Senseana Sea Side Resort & Aquadventure was truly exceptional, and what made it unforgettable was the incredible people who work there. From the very first day, we felt genuinely cared for
It was the combination of these luxurious accommodations, the staff's genuine care, the hotel's prime location, and the ease of exploring the area that made my stay truly unforgettable
The location of the hotel is ideal. It is near all the local amenities. There is a supermarket around the corner which I believe is open until late. We found a little farmers market where we bought gifts
There is a lot do there on and off site. The atmosphere is very peaceful the white sofas in reception give that calming effect. with orange juice and are checked in very quickly
I forgot the lady's name but you checked us and you were lovely. We came off a late flight and we offered food which was very thoughtful. However a tour of the hotel would have been ideal at this point
Really beautiful hotel. Good food. Great location. The rooms opened to the private pool area are really great. Staff are very nice. Really quit and calm.
Fantastic Holiday from start to finish the most amazing experience, service beyond expectation. Breakfast was varied and very nice every day. Dinners were also especially nice
The pool was beautiful and highly recommend thd bar if you want a drink with a smile from Manos, thank you for your amazing service and coffee with cinnamon. Overall would return with no hesitation

), the pools are clean and pleasant, the rooms are perfect, the spa is available and the shows are top-notch. I recommend this hotel to all families looking for a sporting vacation, relaxation and Cretan nutrition
Wonderful weeks break, the hotel location is a short walk into Stalis and on the beach. Plenty of pools to relax for adults or spend quality time with kids if a family
We came to the day spa, they have a private room with saunas, pool and a shower treatment. Rafaela was the most helpful and kind!
Had a really wonderful massage with Rafaella. She knew exactly the pressure to use and so excited about coming back tomorrow. The venue is very relaxing and the staff very professional! Would recommend!
Can go to the beach too which is owned by another hotel but that's fine. Some people say the pool towels cost extra but the first one is free and you're free to use it throughout the week
Particular highlights was the Oinos wine bar, spar and Karos in an evening with great entertainment for all
We arrived at the hotel and immediately they upgraded our room to a room with a private pool (very nice, but unfortunately not usable). Everything was perfect and appreciated
Great stay, very friendly staff. Food and drinks very good.
Plenty of space at the pool and sun loungers on the beach.
They accommodated my request to have my room and my friend’s room together. Over all hospital and 5star experience was with Madam Tonia, restaurant manager. Thanks for making my birthday memorable
It's a shame, because these are good quality products! Anyway, this is not a complaint, just sharing our feelings. We definitely recommend the place, and of course we will go back there soon!
Very nice place for families and very nice staff. Walters at the resturant very kind. The cook was very nice also. Great menu and dishes.
On the other hand, in the two restaurants, unfortunately, the food is not made on site, Just heats it up and serves it

Our luggage was set aside whilst we were presented with cold towels & lemonade and the receptionist checked us in. It was almost midnight and check in was quick and efficient as we were tired from our travels
Our room was a corner swim up junior suite, with one set of doors to the pool and the other to the garden with the beach just beyond
Next morning we went for breakfast and another warm welcome was given by all the lovely restaurant staff (all the Katerinas, Nectarina; and Barbara - all assets to the hotel with their sunny dispositions)
It’s difficult to know where to start with this review but it all started with a warm welcome from George, the night porter, who greeted us on arrival
The room was well appointed and there was food waiting for us along with the stocked minibar of water, soft drinks; and a bottle of wine
Theres a photographer will take your pics in evening before dinner, then you can buy them printed next morning in breakfast. Nice beach , we love it, dont forget to bring your beach shoes

Pretty good place, the pools great and the food was really nice and theres amazing people there too, the only thing that bothered me were the mosquitoes but its okay.
We had a lovely stay at Heronissos! The team there was incredibly welcoming and organized, ensuring everything felt easy from the moment we checked in
The sunbeds come with tables and umbrellas, and there are plenty of lovely seating areas around the pool to relax. The staff work incredibly hard to keep the whole resort immaculate
It's the little things that count, and the staff's willingness to help really stood out. To top it off, the food was excellent. Thank you for a fantastic holiday!
We visited Crete in September and our stay at this hotel was the best. Thank you all for giving us unique experiences and we will be back soon.
We stayed at the end of September and had an amazing stay. We would highly recommend this hotel – it’s beautiful, spotless, and very well kept, offering a genuine 4-star holiday experience

A very smart hotel with excellent sea views and a lovely main swimming pool. You can have room with its own jacuzzi and garden, or one with a plunge pool or a share infinity pool
Special mention to Michaela who welcomed us at our arrival, showed us all the place and gave us some tips; to Leandros who took care of our concerns, to Valentina and Claudia in the swimming pool and Eleni, Chara and Eva for the special evenings at the Buddha Bar, great team! Hopefully we will come back
The best and most luxurious hotel we’ve ever stayed at! We truly felt at home. everyone was so kind and dedicated. The food was of exceptional quality, and the entire experience was amazing
I recommend a room with pool access if you want to enjoy a cool swim during the heat of the day or a night swim with amazing views
The bath by the bed and open plan wash basin is a bit odd, and if you do feel like having a bath, it would take an absolute age to fill
The rooms are spotless but more attention to refilling teas coffee and replacement of towels would be better than the little treats left
