- Our stay at the Royal Senses Resort & Spa in Crete, Greece. We booked the King Deluxe Room for 4 nights with points and got the 5th night free for 84,000 Hilton Points per night. We were upgraded due to my Diamond status to the King Family Suite with Ocean View.
Our stay was from October 4th-9th and it was fully booked due to a lot of Germans visiting to celebrate their yearly celebration of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Although the room was small and didn't have a lot of storage for a family of three, we made due since we spent all of our time exploring the island of Crete.
Hope you enjoyed our video, so stick around for more adventures. We have a playlist of hotels we've stayed at.

How was your stay here? Would you go back or it was nice the first time but nothing to make ya come back?
It was a nice resort and location to explore the island from. If I went back and stayed there again, I'd have to book a larger room for more space to spread out. The room we stayed in didn't have enough room for two adults and one child. Especially when it came to storing our luggage. As I mentioned in my video description we spent most of our time out and about during the day. It's pretty much what most people do on holiday.
How much did you spend there? My wife and I want to go for 4-5 days. I have enough points to cover the room. But they have no prices listed for anything else. Like food, spa, activities, etc
Prices are very reasonable. We stayed 6 days, 5 nights with breakfast included due to being a diamond member. So lunch and dinner for 3-4 days was $659 for my family of three. We ate lunch and dinner out in town two days out of 6. An average of $73.22 per person, per day.
Any tips on getting there ? Airport to fly into? Airport to hotel? How much currency to convert to cash? How to get around the island? My wife and I are seriously considering this destination (with some of our points)
We flew from Rome to Herakilon (HER) via Athens with Aegean Air. prices are very cheap so we paid cash for that flight. Channa is about 1.5-2 hrs away.
Royal Senses is about 40-45 mins drive from Heraklion Airport. You can rent a car and pick up from the airport, which is what I wish we had done, but my husband wasn't keen on that. We rented a car at reception, there's a lady from a local rental company there everyday. There are transfers available, private or thru the hotel if you prefer and maybe rent only on the days you'd like to go exploring.
There's also an excursion hut a little past past Royal Blue by the local shop. You can book day trips that'll pick you up from there or at the hotel.
We did not use cash as all credit cards are accepted at all the local spots around the island. I prefer to use my Amex Gold or Chase Shappire to earn points on dining. Same for the rental we booked at reception. Amex Green Card for 3X on rentals.
You'd have to DM me for tips on getting from your home airport to Crete on points.
