What a wonderful week we had! We, 3 adults (mum, dad and son who is 19) like many in here had reservations about our choice after reading the reviews, however they were quickly put aside after our arrival. We arrived at 2am for a week to be met with some snacks and drinks already in our room and a very warm welcome at reception. We were in a suite, which was literally 8 steps to the lower pool. Room was beautiful with two patio areas and although a little tired in corners we were extremely pleased. Rooms were cleaned and made up every day and the staff were wonderful and friendly. Always leaving fresh towels even if we didn't want the room cleaned! Restaurant always had a good variety of different things. Pancakes at breakfast were very nice and the dinner options were always different. I did notice if we had beef one night, they'd be creative using leftovers for the next night. So minimal food waste which was nice to see! Staff were always warm and welcoming, and the restaurant had stunning views! Never had to wait for a table and never felt super busy! Pools and the surrounding areas were lovely and clean with staff coming around regularly to pick up any glasses, plates etc! Sunbeds are plentiful and we always had options! The bar at the pool was lovely and a great selection of drinks, local and branded, and a good selection of cocktails included! The food in the afternoon on offer was a little disappointing and not a huge selection, but if you really need lunch then restaurant is open and has a lovely selection,l. . Only thing to consider is that if there are more than 2 off you, the bar will only give out 2 drinks per person when it is busy. But that honestly wasn't an issue and the bar staff are so amazing. Pool towels are provided at €5 per towel but thats fully refunded when you leave and you can change then as often as you like! The shuttle bus to Bali is a great option! They run on time and when it's busy they either double run or added a second bus on. Drive is only about 7 minutes. Dropped right at the beach access and a lovely restaurant which had stunning fresh food which came in huge portions and was definitely not expensive for what you got! The bus back can sometimes be really busy so we always planned to head back a little later if there was a long queue, another hour in Bali was always welcome! We always made it back before the last bus so can't comment on any taxi options for later in the evening. The beach itself was busy, and as guests of fillion can get use of the beds for free to use. Staff are usually around to let you know what you can and can't use. We ended up right on the water so were able to sit on the edge of the sunbed with the water lapping our toes! Also worth a mention that the beaches are sandy, shallow for a bit and crystal clear! As it was free for the hotel users and others could pay for it, it was a bit busy and noisy, but lovely all the same. There is a beach bar just above, but we never used

We've just come back from a weeks holiday at the Royal Senses. We wanted a relaxing holiday and that's what we got. The hotel is beautiful. It's a series of buildings built on a hill connected by lifts and stairs. We arrived late and were taken to our room via golf buggy, and they'd left food for us in the room since we missed dinner which was a really nice touch. All of the rooms have a gorgeous sea view, although the sea is around a 20 minute walk down the road (or you can take the shuttle bus from the hotel to their sister hotel where the beach is located). We used the gym every morning which is well-equipped for a small gym and never got too busy. Meals in the main restaurant were delicious and varied, and the staff were always attentive and friendly. We're both pescatarians and did not struggle to eat well. The staff are exceptional. Especially the pool staff who work all day in the hot sun and are always friendly and welcoming. Our room was cleaned well daily and the cleaners were lovely. We played tennis a couple of times and equipment is free to hire. I had a massage in the spa which was lovely. The hotel is in a relatively remote location but we didn't want to wonder around much so it was fine. There's a small shop on site and a mini supermarket a short walk away. We took a taxi to Rethymnon one day for a change of scene and it was 27euros each way, and the village of Panormos is only a 5 minute taxi away. Our transfer wasn't till 6pm on our last day but they let us have a later check out which was much appreciated. This isn't a party hotel so if you want vibes, this might not be for you. But if you want to stay in a beautiful hotel, with exceptional staff and have a relaxing and memorable holiday, I can't recommend The Royal Senses enough. Thanks for a beautiful stay.
