The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Ocean Flavors

The seafood dishes at the beach bar were some of the best I've ever had. They were fresh, perfectly grilled, and paired wonderfully with local wines. It truly elevated our dining experience by the shore.

Tranquil Spa Retreat

I indulged in a relaxing massage at the on-site spa, and it was heavenly. The soothing atmosphere, combined with professional staff, made it a perfect getaway from our busy day at the beach.

Private Pool Bliss

Our room featured a private pool that was an absolute dream. We spent hours lounging in the sun, enjoying the tranquility of having our own serene space right outside the door.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

Aiden

United Kingdom, March 2025

6.6/10

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

6.0

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

7.0

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

Location

8.0

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

5.0

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

7.0

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.

United Kingdom, February 2025

8.2/10

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

8.0

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.

Service

9.0

The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to accommodate requests. However, there were a couple of situations where the response could have been a little more flexible.

Location

9.0

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.

Dining

7.0

The variety in dining options was good, but the food quality, especially in the main restaurant, didn't quite reach the five-star level we were hoping for.

Facilities

The facilities were well-maintained, with a clean and inviting pool area, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

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.

Rooms

I found the service to be exceptional overall, with the staff going out of their way to assist and making every effort to ensure I had a pleasant stay.

Location

The hotel's location is quite beautiful, although keep in mind that it involves some uphill walking to reach the nearby towns.

Dining

8.0

The breakfast buffet offered a fantastic selection of options, truly setting the tone for the day, although some of the dinner options were pricey.

Facilities

7.0

The overall facilities were well-maintained and provided a serene atmosphere, but some aspects could use improvements, especially accessibility.

8.4/10

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.

Rooms

9.0

My room was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring a private pool that was clean and refreshing. There was also a lavish marble bathtub.

Service

Situated on a hillside, the hotel offered breathtaking 180-degree views over the bay, with easy access to Elounda and Plaka, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing.

Dining

While the breakfast had a good variety of options, the evening buffet was often lukewarm and at times, difficult to identify what dishes were being served.

7.8/10

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.

Rooms

9.0

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.

Service

8.0

The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to assist, making my stay enjoyable. However, there were a couple of instances where misunderstandings occurred, particularly regarding food requests, which dampened the experience slightly.

Location

9.0

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

8.0

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