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 were placed here by our airline due to flight cancellation. The staff were very friendly and professional. The rooms and lobby were very clean. The breakfast was a nice large buffet. It is close to the airport but I think you'd want a car if you were to stay there for your holiday.

Took a few days to realise how well-placed it actually is (if you have car). But staff are lovely and sooooo helpful. We stayed in room 216. The rooms aren't sound proof and had some really inconsiderate neighbours , always coming in after 2am and making lots of nose and banging doors etc. but that's not the hotel's fault.

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!

Courteous and friendly staff good professional kitchen staff,
Within walking distance of sand and clean beach. Easy access to public transportation to Heraklion and Hernosios spa and resort.

I highly recommend this place. The modern design, spacious and functional rooms, and the exceptionally friendly staff make for a great stay. The 24/7 availability of the staff and the well-organized breakfast with a rich buffet are added bonuses that truly enhance the experience.

The Vasia is a very nice and modern hotel. The pool area is great. I don't fully understand when they serve al a carte and when a buffet for the dinner, but the staff is really nice and they try to fulfill all of your needs and wishes.

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.
