Just returned from a 7 night stay at the Vasia Royal with my daughter. The hotel is spotless, very modern and well kept. Rooms are spacious and offer everything you could need for your stay. We had a small balcony, fridge and hot drinks facilities, a big shower and tv. The pool area is very pretty and clean, with lovely plants and trees all around. The hotel itself is a little out the way of much, to get any kind of nightlife, shops or entertainment you do need to catch the bus; which is right outside and runs pretty regular. The hotel doesn’t offer any entertainment and food choices were a little limited. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, any help you needed they were on hand. Sofia on reception particularly was a very friendly and always happy to see us and give a compliment or answer any questions were had. Overall this hotel is a good base if you are after a relaxing holiday without many kids or a base if you don’t mind getting out and exploring. The nearest beach is about a 5/10 minute walk, but the better beaches are into Gouves area which is about 5 mins on the bus. Also if you are staying in the area, 5 mins from the hotel is a rescue centre for street cats and dogs. We visited for the afternoon and it was a special experience, you can even walk the dogs along the beach and spend a little time with them. Defo recommend. We had a lovely stay and would come back again.

We stayed at this hotel for 7 days (for our honeymoon). we were looking for a hotel close to the sea and a little far from the hyper-touristy resorts... in this respect it is perfect (spacious room and very good bedding, great swimminpool). it is situated on a busy road, the nearest organised beach is about twenty minutes away on foot. We visited the heraklion region by opting for the intercity bus service...they stop right in front of the hotel :-) . Pleasant and attentive staff

We stayed at Vasia Royal for five nights and cannot recommend this hotel enough. Situated in a remote area, I suggest renting a car, quad, or scooter to reach the nearby town or village, which is about a 14-minute drive away. The rooms were spotless, cleaned daily, with water restocked and extra towels provided upon request. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived until we left. We arrived late at night, after 11pm, when the hotel had already stopped serving food. When we asked if there were any local options, the staff went above and beyond by quickly arranging for food to be delivered to the hotel. It was a thoughtful gesture, especially since we were tired from traveling and just wanted a meal before heading to bed. The pool is a perfect size, and since the hotel is smaller, there were always sunbeds available, as well as easy access to the pool bar. The cocktails were excellent—especially the Strawberry Mojito, which was a 10/10! The food was delicious and made to order. Breakfast was included in our stay, offering a good variety of options. However, we tended to go down at the last minute, so we ended up with the leftovers, which weren’t great. Coming earlier would likely have made a difference. I highly recommend having some form of transportation when staying at this hotel. While there is a bus stop directly outside, the buses are often late, and you could end up waiting over 30 minutes or more for one to arrive. We personally loved the location, especially since we had a rented jeep. The area was peaceful and relaxing, with plenty of space by the pool. At the same time, a short drive took us right into the lively atmosphere of nightlife, restaurants, and pubs. The staff gave us fantastic meal recommendations as well. The Island restaurant in Grouves was amazing, set in the most scenic location. They also suggested Domes in Hersonissos, which was equally incredible, and highly recommend people to visit. Overall fantastic stay!

We had an unplanned stay for 17 days at Vasia Royal booked by our insurance company. My father was taken into hospital and had a double heart bypass during our initial holiday in Elounda and the Vasia Royal was booked as it was near to the hospital in Heraklion. We cannot fault the hotel, all of the staff made our stay special. Initially it was my mum and I who stayed and the staff made a special effort and showed us compassion and kindness on another level , everyday they made us laugh and took time to ask how my father was getting on showing genuine concern for both my mum and I and my father. The hotel is very clean, excellent bar menu especially Rose!!! And the Mojito cocktail. The food is great authentic Greek cooking very fresh. Thanasis picked us fresh flowers everyday for our table in the dining room which was a lovely thought! One night we decided to have a burger, it was great much better than McDonalds!! The pool area is fab, lots of space no rush for the sun beds and free clean pool towels daily. Area is nice a quiet, hotel well positioned to visit many local attractions including the aquarium, and Gouves and Heraklion city. The biggest of thank you’s to all the staff especially Antonis, the Manager and Sofia and the other lady on reception whose name began with an M. To all of the new staff who again were very welcoming. Highly recommended!!! Thank you Vasia Royal Katie, Jan and Peter xxx

The Vasia Royal is situated in a fabulous place that can be used as a base for discovering the Island. There are regular bus routes or you can hire a car ( strongly recommend Travel Rentals Herssonissos) As for the hotel - it is very pleasant & clean. The food is lovely & gives you the opportunity to sample the local cuisine. The staff are very pleasant and obliging ( especially Soulla who served us for drinks) The rooms are regularly cleaned and stocked up with water & coffee. We asked for decaf & it was no problem. All-in-all a pleasant stay.

I would love to say that the hotel was amazing! The staff was very polite and were ready to take care every of our needs. The pool was clean, the bar had a various amount of drinks and cocktails to order and the food that was prepared by the kitchen was delicious. I would totaly suggest the hotel because the hospitality and the kindness is on another level. Also the hotel is near to heraklion, you can take the bus from the busstop just outside of the hotel, easy transport 😊. The staff made our holidays even better due too the kindness and the work ethic that they have.
