The Royal Senses Resort & Spa Crete, Curio Collection Hilton

A good quality hotel with some disappointing elements to our stay. The rooms are very comfortable and cleaned very well. We had a shared swim up room and it was very spacious even with 3 people in one room. The pools are very good and sun loungers really comfortable. Service by the pool was in general very good, however the drink quality was more "all inclusive" than al a carte (even though you are paying for it). Don't be fooled by instagram, the drinks don't look like that around the pool. They are very quickly made and of average quality. The breakfast buffet is by far the worst I have ever experienced. For the cost of a room you would expect some level of freshly cooked food, but its all buffet. They have a lady making omelettes, but its poured out of a 3 litre pre-mixed jug and tasted horrible. Buffet eggs were under cooked and pre-cooked boiled eggs were raw. There was plenty of pastry / pancakes etc so young children would probably be happy. In a nut shell they are serving a cheap buffet breakfast that you would expect in a lower class of hotel. You can have breakfast in your room / pool on a floating platter - but its just the buffet brought to you so don't waste your money. Location is poor you can't walk anywhere - the sister hotel on the beach in front is separated by a motorway, there is a free shuttle. You have to get a taxi to visit any restaurants outside the hotel or the sister hotel - 18 euro to small town / 50 euro to the large town

Amazing property and staff are a great help. A good place for the entire family.
