The Royal Senses Resort and Spa Crete Curio Collection by Hilton

Set in the picturesque village of Panormos on the Greek island of Crete, this hotel is definitely worthy of its extra-long name. Offering an exquisite blend of luxury and Cretan charm, this five-star resort is perfect if you’re craving some much-needed time away to relax and enjoy some time with the family. The location in the village of Panormos also gives you easy access to Crete’s rich cultural heritage, beautiful beaches, and charming villages, with Chania one hour to the west and Heraklion one hour to the east. 

There's never a dull day here. With family rooms located close to the nearby aqua park you're just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the action. On-site, there's a splash park for poolside fun. And if that's not enough to keep the little ones entertained then they can head to the kids' club for extra games and activities. The adults have plenty to look forward to, too. The highlight here for the grownups is the state-of-the-art spa, which consists of an outdoor pool terrace and an indoor hydrotherapy centre – there’s also a range of treatments to choose from, inspired by ancient wellness traditions. Make time to visit the hotel’s statement lake-sized saltwater pool, as well as the sea-view pool area, which features two infinity pool strips, surrounded by a selection of Bali beds and loungers with thick, cosy mattresses.
