Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Exceptionally clean and well appointed rooms, plenty of space & sunbeds, pools & entertainment are fantastic and so are the entertainment crew. Food and choices were also excellent. The à la crate restaurant options were all amazing. I would highly recommend."
"Great family hotel with an amazing water park which kept our kids entertained (11 & 13 years old).
Really good choice of food in the main restaurant. We enjoyed the Meat and Grill and Asian restaurants to break up our week stay.
We booked a family room with Garden view but I would book a family room with a private pool if we were to return."
"Un vrai 5 étoiles sur tous les points!
La nourriture est excellente, le personnel est très serviable, les chambres sont propres et confortables.
J’y retournerai sans hésitation."
"Generally very nice hotel, some areas I think need to be modernised, the safe in the room did not work even though I mentioned it to Reception twice. Sun beds were generally always available, which was a good thing and the slides in the waterpark were excellent for children. Food was excellent in each restaurant we went to."
"Amazing property! I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, every staff member was welcoming, personable, and eager to help.
My room was incredible, featuring a private pool, steam room, a 360° TV that doubles as a mirror, and excellent Bluetooth speakers. The amenities throughout the property were equally impressive, including the well-equipped gym, fantastic restaurant, and beautiful pool with floating lounge chairs.
This is truly a state-of-the-art property with exceptional service. Its location is another major plus—just six minutes from Heraklion Airport, making it incredibly convenient. I will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."
