Gorgeous Hotel
Centrally located in Agia Marina, this is a really lovely hotel. The rooms have everything you need, really comfortable beds, and the amenities provided ensure a comfortable stay. The hotel itself is really high quality and we particularly enjoyed the beach facilities. We paid 15 euros per day for an umbrella and 2 loungers but you also get free water, fruit and waiter service included. Sunbeds by the pools are free though. The staff are all amazing, they work long hours but always have a smile on their face and nothing is too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this hotel and wouldn’t think twice about returning.

Excellent Stay In Sunny Agia Marina For A Third Time
Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel is an excellent adults-only hotel that offers genuine value for money. It provides a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere while still being located in the heart of the lively Agia Marina strip, with plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and transport links nearby to choose from.
We stayed here in August for our third consecutive year on an all-adult family holiday and had a fantastic time. The location is ideal as Chania Town is only about 10 km away and easily accessible by taxi or a 20-minute bus ride. Platanias is also just down the road; while you can take a quick bus, it is absolutely accessible on foot as well.
The beach is one of the hotel's biggest highlights. It is a beautiful sandy beach with very few rocks and is directly accessible from the hotel grounds. As it is a public beach, it can become quite busy during weekends and public holidays, but there is plenty of space to enjoy the sea and surroundings.
The cleanliness of both the rooms and the hotel grounds was outstanding. The staff work incredibly hard to maintain the property, and their meticulousness is evident throughout the hotel.
The beds were comfortable, although I personally found the pillows a little too high. I requested a lower pillow from reception, which was promptly provided and made a big difference to my comfort levels during my stay. This is a good example of how willing the staff are to accommodate guests' needs during their stay.
There are several swimming pools to choose from and plenty of sun beds available. Guests should be aware of the hotel's policy regarding reserving sun beds with towels before 8am, as any unattended towels may be removed. I imagine this policy is designed to ensure fair availability for all guests.
The atmosphere throughout the hotel is calm, quiet and relaxing. As an adults-only property, it is particularly well suited to couples and adult families; basically anyone looking for a peaceful break away.
The Wi-Fi was excellent throughout my stay, with reliable coverage across the hotel and in the rooms.
The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were consistently friendly, professional and helpful. I was particularly impressed by how hard they worked to resolve any issues that guests might have.
I would highly recommend Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel and would happily return in the future. One piece of advice I would give to guests staying at the hotel is to speak to the staff directly if you encounter any problems before rushing to quick judgement. In my experience, they genuinely care about guest satisfaction and will work tirelessly to resolve any concerns you may have and to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Service second to none!!
I stayed at the Atlantica Amalthia with 3 friends for a week in September. We were in a room on the beachside, it was bright, spacious and airy. There was a safe in the room, a fridge and a kettle which was very handy. We had a pleasant terrace facing the path down to the beach. The room was cleaned daily, to a very high standard. Breakfast was excellent, wide choice of hot and cold food, fruit, yoghurt, cereals, egg, bacon, omelettes made to order. We ate at the pool bar at lunchtime a couple of times and again the food was of high quality. There are lots of good beach bars within walking distance of the hotel. Of the tavernas we enjoyed Spiti, on the main road and if you turn at the petrol station there are lovely tavernas up the hill, in particular Rustic garden. There aren’t a lot of bars in the vicinity, the nearest is about a ten minute walk away.
All the above is what you would expect from a four star hotel.
However what elevates the Atlantica Amalthia to a 5 star in my opinion is the exceptional service provided by the whole team. From the waiters in the dining room to the housekeepers, everyone had a smile on their faces. The weather wasn’t particularly good so we spent quite a lot of time at the pool bar. The boys there go out of their way to make your stay memorable, a special mention to George (we nicknamed him ‘gorgeous George’) and Andreas who made the best cocktails, especially his Cosmopolitan..without sugar. Ignore negative reviews, I would definitely return to the Atlantica Amalthia.

First class
This is our second stay at Atlantica Amalthia hotel. It didn't disappoint. Everything was first class. Our room on the beach side was very clean, nice balcony, decent shower and very comfy bed. It was nice that we had a coffee machine in the room which was topped up each day.
The beach is nice and sandy and I liked that the sunbeds were not right on top of each other. They cost EUR 15 but you do get a bottle of water each, fruit and and cool towel late morning to refresh you.
It can get quite windy an there were times we were not able to go in the water - red flag and life guards prohibited this.
We didn't spend any time at the pool. It looks nice but probably only one corner where you can guarantee to get the sun all day. The sunbeds are very close to each other.
Breakfast is very good, with so much choice. Hotel restaurant also very nice.
All the staff are the best. They provide a first class service. Everyone so friendly, polity and extremely helpful. They work very long hours but remain cheerful.
The hotel is in a good location, walking distance to lots of good restaurants. We really liked Sebastians next door for lunch. The have a good Greek night on Mondays.
Only 20 mins away from Chania Old Town, which is very nice if not busy.
Would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again.

Amazing Staff which makes for a great hotel
Beautiful hotel, amazing attentive staff. Breakfast was brilliant, so much choice! Hotel is very clean, inside and out. Staff very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had rain for 5 days out of our 7 so the experience was not so great for my family. We have been before so we know how great it is! There is only so much you can eat and drink! We went into Chania 3 times! The staff all felt sorry for us as customers!! Overall we made the best of it! Thank you to ALL the staff x
