"We are a couple with an 5 months old baby. Extremely good hotel! One of the best we have been. The food is just amazing!!! Like in a Michelin star restaurant. You don’t get this feeling that it is cooked for a big hotel. Very cozy main restaurant. Staff goes above and beyond to help, not because they have to, but because they seem to be very happy to be there as well. The hotel is very welcoming for babies and kids, but is not overrun by them. The atmosphere is very cozy and calm, no loud music (or karaoke) by the main pool, no running kids. Kids have their own activities and entertainment which is run by a professional team of animators in dedicated places. Kids club for kids of different ages is available. I loved yoga classes every morning by the sea. The level of yoga teacher is verily close to a good yoga retreat. Little things like cooking classes, cats cafe, their own ice cream/crepe place. Every centimetre of the property is well thought through by a very good designer. We absolutely loved our stay! Special thanks to Eva and Olga in the restaurant for their kind attention and hospitality."

8/10 Good
"A solid stay for the price and we'd happily return. We arrived late due to a flight delay and messaged ahead to let them know, only to be told not to worry at all as reception is staffed 24/7, arrive whenever you arrive. The room was spotlessly clean throughout, as were the pools, which we noticed being cleaned every morning. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice and everything tasted nice. We didn't make use of the evening entertainment ourselves, but others did. The location was a real strength, quiet enough to get some sleep but a five minute walk or less to restaurants, the beach and shops. We had a hire car and never once struggled to find parking at the hotel. Two small criticisms, more observations than complaints. Housekeeping tended to knock around 8.30am each morning and there was no door hanger option to signal "do not disturb". With a young child and family members still asleep most mornings, we had to turn them away a few times, though I'm sure they'd come back later if we asked. The main point is that if we didn't answer the door they would have come in to clean, thinking we were out. We also found the beds on the firmer/less comfortable side. Other than that, Staff throughout were friendly and helpful, the hotel was clean and the location couldn't be better for the price, so would recommend."

"The staff is outstanding. Everybody is nice and you feel a wish to « go the extra mile ». You want something they don’t have, the find a way. Absolutely no waiting time with the buggies as the staff are so numerous. We had such a lovely time. The resort is indeed kid friendly however the « adult zones » create a bit of a weird feeling and there are not a lot of animation like some resort. You don’t go there for the animation, you go there for the extreme serenity provided by the beauty of the place. Tips: ask for a buggy tour around the hotel. You should see everything, views are outstanding!"

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive

Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"One of the best all-inclusive resorts I've visited, and I've been to four now. We travelled with a 16, 13, and 10-year-old. Each night, there was a different themed food, but still the same options available if the kids didn't want to try anything new. There are four different pools and food bars around the resort. Entertainment is available throughout the day if you want to change things up. The Star Beach isn't the best, but it offers several water sports you can pay for. The beach a short walk left or right of Star Beach is far nicer."

10/10 Excellent
"An absolutely stunning property with the most proactive, helpful and attentive staff I've ever seen at a resort. Other reviews already highlight how beautiful the resort is, so thought I'd leave specific info about accessibility, as it was a lot better than I anticipated from previous info online. My wife uses a wheelchair, although can manage short distances/a few steps. Although the resort is on a slope with multiple tiers, most of the grounds are feasible for a wheelchair; going from main reception to the bungalows, most communal grounds and the route towards the beach are all slopes. To get down to the beach and the beach bar itself, there are maybe 10 steps. Similarly, to get to the buffet restaurant, there are a few steps. If you're in a situation like us, where a wheelchair is generally needed but a few steps are manageable, don't let it put you off the resort. The staff were SO helpful and kind. They pre-emptively offered taking us on the golf cart, let us park our car next to the reception, always found ways to make trips easier and even, the night before we were set to leave, had the hotel repairman repair a loose screw on the wheelchair! I can't thank the staff enough for their support; they made us feel completely relaxed and as though we had to make no compromises even with accessibility needs. Thank you."

"We had a great experience at the Phaea Blue hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in virtually new condition. Food was excellent and the private beach, though pebbles (not sand) is very convenient. Wouldn't hesitate to return."

8/10 Good
"The hotel is nice and clean with some good restaurants and bars. The Lemongrass Asian restaurant is especially good for sushi. The staff are friendly. During our stay the majority of guests were either young families with small children or couples aged 60+ so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere. The spa is good, however the staff had a very “hard sell” approach when trying to get you to book treatments, which we felt slightly off putting. They also didn’t have a price list and seemed to make them up on the spot. The resort the hotel is situated in has a lot on offer though, and the beaches are great."
