Aldemar Royal Mare Village Details

Located on the beach, about 2.5km from the lively tourist town of Hersonissos on the Northern Coast of Crete. If you want to get out in the evening, go to the quaint Old Town of Hersonissos where you will find traditional Greek Tavernas, cobbled streets and local craft shops.  

Transfer Time -  25 mins from Heraklion Airport

Rooms

The Aldemar Royal Mare is a big resort with 345 rooms and 40 suites and has the feel of a village rather than a high rise hotel.  All rooms are decorated in a  Mediterranean/Cretan style with tiled floors, light walls and bright furnishings.  The Garden & Sea View rooms are a a good size and have furnished balconies.  The VIP sharing pool rooms have direct access to a pool shared by other rooms in your section (about 10 rooms) giving you the feeling that you are in your own little complex within the larger resort.  

 

Food

The Cretan diet is known to be amongst the healthiest in the world and there is no shortage of tasty dishes made with fresh local ingredients.  The main restaurant, the Symposio has a casual feel of a large canteen serving a huge buffet selection and also menus of the day. Sit outside so you can get the fabulous views of the sea. The buffet will give you the choice of healthy dishes but you will need to apply some will power if you are watching your waistline as the delicious deserts are close by and available.  If you want to keep away from these tempting treats, ask us about upgrading to the dietary nutrition meals which are calorie controlled and served at the smaller gourmet Candia restaurant closer to the beach.  There are in total 6 restaurants and 4 bars so there is no shortage on choice.

Fitness and Daily Activities

Free Activities include acqua aerobics, outdoor stretching classes and pool volleyball during high season. You can also use the gym at the Thalasso Centre with some assistance from the instructors.  The Aldemar has an impressive Tennis Centre with 11 courts and qualified instructors available for private tennis lessons at a cost.  At the beach there is a watersports centre with windsurfing, water skiing, canoes and diving available.
