I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the breathtaking views and beautiful beach area were major highlights, I was disappointed by the inconsistent service and high food prices. The room quality didn't match the hotel's 5-star claim, and there were a few maintenance issues that detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay, but I felt it could have been better.
Rooms

The room offered a lovely view, but it was quite small and lacked adequate storage. There were also some cleanliness issues, including mold in the bathtub.

Service varied; while some staff members were attentive, others seemed untrained and indifferent, which was disappointing for a hotel of this caliber.
Location

Perched on a hillside, the hotel boasts amazing 180-degree views of the bay, but its isolation means you'll rely on taxis for nearby attractions.
Dining

The dining options were decent, but the buffet breakfast didn't meet 5-star expectations, and the prices for other meals were on the higher side.
Facilities

The facilities were well-kept, featuring a nice pool area, but I felt it lacked that luxurious touch you'd expect from a resort spa.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful overall with exceptional staff who made our experience memorable. The stunning views from our room added to the experience, and I loved the luxurious amenities offered. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, as the food didn't quite meet the five-star expectations, and I wasn't expecting to encounter children at an adults-only hotel.
Rooms

The room was comfortable and featured all the modern amenities you'd expect, though it had a small shower cubicle that caused the bathroom to get quite wet.

The hotel's location provided breathtaking views of the surroundings, but the steepness of the terrain made buggy service necessary to get around, particularly if you're in the higher numbered rooms.

The Royal Marmin offers a stunning setting with breathtaking views over the gulf of Mirabello, making it a lovely escape. The breakfast is impressive, and the staff really enhances the experience with their attentiveness. However, some of the room types may not match expectations, particularly with issues like limited privacy and small amenities. While the dining options are diverse, they can also be quite expensive.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a beautiful place with spectacular views of the Spinalonga peninsula. The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions like Plaka and Elounda. However, the dining experience left some room for improvement, particularly with the lukewarm food at the buffet. The amenities are delightful, especially the private pool in my room, making this a memorable visit overall.

I had a lovely stay with some stunning views and a great atmosphere, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially for vegetarians. The luxurious room was a highlight, and the service was mostly attentive, but there were some minor hiccups with food options and meal quality that need addressing. Overall, it was a pleasant escape, but improvements in the dining area would definitely elevate the experience.

My room was well-appointed with wonderful amenities, including a private pool and a beautiful terrace that offered ample privacy. The spaciousness and stylish decor added to the luxurious feel.

Location

The hotel is situated perfectly between Elounda and Plaka, which made it convenient to explore local sites and enjoy sunset dinners overlooking the bay.
Dining
5.0
While breakfast had a reasonable selection, the lack of clearly labeled items for dietary restrictions was concerning, and the overall dining experience was not reflective of a 5-star establishment. I found better options just a short drive away in Elounda.
Facilities

The facilities were impressive, with a large infinity pool and well-maintained beach area that complemented the luxurious vibe of the resort.
