Is the Royal Senses Resort in Crete worth it? 🇬🇷🏝
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- We spent a glorious week of vacation at the Royal Senses Resort & Spa (not sponsored!) This week celebrated Jason’s 40th birthday and during this full year of travel we wanted to take a bit of a break and just relax and recharge. We couldn’t find too many videos about this hotel on the island of Crete in Greece, so we decided to make one from our time there! We hope you enjoy learning a bit about our experience with this Hilton Resort and if you end up going there say hello to Angelos, Anastasia, and Chef Moses for us!

I went here just after this video was made and I have to say it was probably the best holiday I’ve ever been on. Would 100% recommend.
WOOOOT! Awesome to hear that! Glad you had a great time 🤗
I especially LOVED this video, well I love ALL your travel videos! You two are the cutest couple AND so entertaining! Thanks for all the beautiful footage, travel tips, food photos and just everything!! You guys rock!
Awwwwwww thank you so much for the kind words, Liz! That means a ton to us and we're really glad you enjoy these videos (and our silly humor!) 😍😇👋
Nice video, thanks for sharing
Just love watching you two and following along on your travels! GREAT videos; so entertaining and informative.
Aw, thank you so much Sherri! That's amazing to hear 🥰🥰🥰. Very kind of you!
Looks like so much fun! Those water slides looks awesome. Great video guys :)
Awwww, thanks for watching friends! Hope you also enjoyed your time in Crete 👏👏👏
hey guys, thanks for this piece of art... so many details... wow!! ive been looking for an exclusive hotel like this for weeks, thanks to you i found it. since we are planning to travel there early june, im wondering how the weather would be... maybe you could give me some information?
you two are adorable and freaking hilarious. SO super fun to see this bit of your experience. super grateful for the share! (and srsly - i am DYING to hear about the country with an 'a' 😉 ). happy travels!
Awwww thanks so much, friend! Really glad you enjoy the videos, your comment means a TON 🥰🙂. Oh, also, that country with an 'a' touches water 👀😂.
@@WanderingAimfully dying, I tell you! 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Loooved this vlog. Already started checking the availability for next year hahaha
Hehe YAYYYYY! Please do go and have an amaaaaazing time! You know where to find us if you need any other recs 😉👋.
You two are so much fun and I love the humor you bring to your videos. What month did you stay here?
I think they stayed May 9 - 15th if I remember correctly.
Thanks so much Stina 🥰🎉. And yep, as @Liz mentioned, May 9-15 👍
Thank you for this great video/review we are going with the private pool villa. The saltwater is so dreamy… no chlorine 🥰
You are so welcome! And yep, saltwater pools are FANNNNTASTIC 👏👏👏👏. Enjoy your trip and go down the slide a few times for us 😅❤️.
Thanks for sharing! Very insightful! I'm planning my honeymoon and we will visit here later this year. I'd like to know if it'll still be warm when we come for the off-season. What month of the year were you visiting in the off-season?
We visited in the first week of May. It was definitely warm enough, but the main pools are also heated so that makes it easier to enjoy no matter what 👍.
This is fantastic - thank you. Question - what were the prices like in the restaurant? Maybe compared to NYC?
Definitely comparable to NYC restaurant prices. I mean, it is a luxury resort hotel after all 😅.
Such a great and thorough video! Just stumbling on this as I’m considering this hotel for a trip in Aug. If I may ask, did your stay include breakfast and dinner?
Hi Jen! Soooo happy to hear our video was helpful ❤️. We booked by calling Hilton Honors so we could use our points and the BUFFET breakfast and dinner WERE included. 👍👍 I don't think that was a perk, I think it's just part of the price you pay for the Royal Senses.
@@WanderingAimfully Hello! Great video! We are also considering visiting on a reward stay in August. Can you share on some of the off-resort activities? Like cultural one day trips, island hopping? Thank you.
Thank you. Did you walk to the beach they say is across the road? Is it far to walk and is it a sandy beach? Thanks
We didn't walk across the road to the beach, we just enjoyed the view of it from the hotel 😅. I do remember the hotel saying they had a shuttle that would drop off and pick up at the beach though 👍
