The Royal Senses Resort and Spa

TripAdvisor Review
Greece, Europe
Panormos

Family-friendly resort on the coast of Crete. Overlooking the Sea of Crete, our resort sits along the north coast just 15 minutes from Rethymno City. Stroll through preserved medieval streets or visit nearby Melidoni Cave for incredible sights. Enjoy the sparkling private beach just across the road, revive your senses at our spa, and enjoy unique culinary workshops and pop-up dinners. Our seven restaurants and bars highlight the flavors of Crete, from grandmother’s recipes to pop-up concepts from local makers. Choose a wine from our expansive cellar, and enjoy a meal with a view at CRETAMOS.

We loved everything about this hotel!

We loved everything about this hotel! The location - short drive to lots of beautiful areas in Crete, restaurants, beaches etc. The breakfast was 10/10, including gluten-free options. Room was spacious and clean. Kids club was nice, although the activities could be improved a bit. Highly recommended!

Excellent stay

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. It is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, yet it is conveniently close to the main road. Every room has a beautiful sea view, and the way the hotel has been designed and built is quite unique compared with other hotels.

The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and well maintained. Our room was cleaned early every morning, which was very convenient.

The reception, bar and dining staff were all excellent. Every morning, the dining-area staff welcomed us warmly and spoke to us in a friendly manner. Special thanks to Smaragda, Eyeliner and Alexandra for their kindness and hospitality. Everyone was very friendly, pleasant and welcoming. They were also knowledgeable, helpful and always happy to assist.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, and I would suggest booking the half-board option. There isn’t much nearby for breakfast or dinner, so having meals at the hotel is very convenient.

I would also recommend hiring a car, as it makes travelling from the airport and exploring the different towns and beautiful beaches much easier.

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would happily return In 2027.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking a first-class luxury resort experience in Crete. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our stay at The Royal Senses was nothing short of outstanding. One of the highlights of our stay was the world-class spa. The facilities are exceptional, creating the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation. The treatments, service, and attention to detail rival some of the best luxury spas we have experienced anywhere in the world. What truly sets The Royal Senses apart, however, is its exceptional staff. Their genuine hospitality made us feel valued throughout our stay. We leave with wonderful memories and look forward to returning in the future.

You can’t beat - Outstanding

I have in my 75 year’s traveled the world and stayed in some of the smartest hotels however as a Hilton Silver member I booked this hotel on chance in order to connect with another commitment and from an early arrival I have never been treated better, it takes team effort to achieve this level of excellence- I know I built a company with over 200 staff so you recruitment process is first class your staff a a credit to you your front of house manager is the very best , your accommodation and food offering is of the very highest standard and the room I received with a shared pool with a sea view- outstanding Thank you and I will be back - a wonderful stay
