Feedback about Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort appears modern and well-maintained, offering multiple pools of varying depths, where finding comfortable sunbeds is usually easy. Guests enjoy the diverse all-inclusive food options, including gyros at the poolside cafe/bar and the main buffet restaurant, though some have found the drinks a bit synthetic. The spacious rooms are appreciated for their modern design and comfortable beds. It's conveniently located near shops and a bus stop, providing easy access to explore the area, with some guests noting that internal corridors can be a bit unusual, reminiscent of the Palace of Knossos.
