Royal & Imperial BelvedereResort

We’ve recently returned from a 7 day stay here, and the hotel itself is absolutely fantastic, it feels very grand and clean when you enter through the main reception. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. There’s a huge selection on food from the restaurants, and the all day snack bars also have a huge range to choose from. The food isn’t exactly hot, and if you want to use the toasting machine it’s like warming up the bread with a radiator so be prepared to stand there for five minutes putting it through multiple times. Excellent views from the restaurants. The entertainment staff are amazing, they put a lot of effort into entertaining the guests with their daily activities and evening shows, and you can clearly see how much they love doing what they do. The spa was a fantastic experience, you do have to pay extra for this but I would say it’s worth it for that relaxing getaway experience. A few downsides - the walk to and from the hotel. The hotel is on a huge hill, so be prepared; we usually got a taxi into town and back (10 euros each way), as it is quite a walk away. I would recommend hiring a car if you can, there are some lovely towns nearby to explore. It states the rooms are cleaned daily, however our room was missed a couple of times during our stay. Our bed sheets weren’t changed at all, and overall it didn’t really seem the cleaners did much apart from make the bed and give us two bottles of water. The beer and wine is self poured, and honestly they didn’t taste nice at all; it tasted very watered down, I just stopped drinking it altogether. Overall we really did enjoy our stay here, and the views are amazing from the various pools as you can look into the sea in the distance.
