Our 2nd visit to this amazing hotel, and wow it was even better. On arriving at hotel, greeted and booked in and then took away to our room 155 which was perfect, last year we stayed across the road but felt we would prefer the beach side and the choice was perfect. room was clean perfect view and had flowers wine as it was our honeymoon, quickly got changed and went to beach bar for our first holiday drink which was a perfect as I remember. Some of the staff last year was here still and greeted us like friends and we knew we had made the right choice. We found out that the sunbeds on the beach are 15€, which includes 2 beds umbrella 2 cold ice waters cold flannel and piece of fruit. At first we thought expensive as you can walk up beach and have a sunbed as long as you buy drink , but the atmosphere is no where as good as the hotel beach, but be aware that familys with children can use the beach for the day but not the facilities of the hotel which didn't happen last year.
The pool ares are ok but very rammed and are free but we prefer the beach setting with sea breeze. restaurants are amazing, just go on google maps and you will find the most hidden restaurants which need booking a table as very busy our favourite was Rustic garden. All the staff are hard working and big shout out to Antonis , one of my favourites was Kiriakos such a hard working man and Giannnis and beautiful Marianna who was lovely and always opened my straw for my gin and tonic as I had trouble opening it lol nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The cleaners worked hard and kept our room clean tidy and stocked up on towels as beach pool towels provided. The girl who worked on the beach serving you drinks with the biggest smile every day . The lovely guy who cleaned the sunbeds every day and raked the sand always had a smile and said good morning to me before his morning swim. This hotel is amazing and friendly and even if you were travelling alone you would make friends easily cause its a lovely family atmosphere and we would come back in future.
Fantastic. Great breakfast, Great location, Great staff very clean hotel . Would I go back yes .
This hotel is some mistake. Expensive and totally not worth the price. Hotel rooms in extremely noisy area near the main road. The neighbour hood also quite load 1 especially noises from other hotel. Definitely is not location for any person who wants to charge batteries. The beach bar is expensive.
The hotel is lovely, Rena on reception was very welcoming upon arrival and always very friendly. We were in the original hotel and loved our room which was spotless. I was pleased to be on the beach side of the road. Breakfast was nice - they could do with a new toaster and there were long queues for coffee. The only downside is there is not enough sun loungers, even when paying on the beach, sometimes they were difficult to get if you weren’t up early. The staff were very worried we were going to run off without paying, perhaps if they arranged payment first thing it would save them chasing you down in the afternoon. There were bean bags at the pool but no sunshades. Overall we had a lovely holiday and did enjoy our time.
Me and my wife stayed at the Atlantica for 1 week early September. We stayed at the new side of the hotel opposite the beach. Rooms where very clean and modern. There was road noise, however not enough to cause any problems. Staff at this hotel are amazing, nothing is too much trouble and they really make you feel welcome. The pool areas are well maintained with extremly comfortable sunbeds. Breakfast was excellent and the staff catered for my wife who is celiac. The beach is stunning with crystal clear water, sunbeds are ok but not as good as the ones around the pool. The hotel is situated close to Chania which is beaufiful city, stunning harbour and a beautiful old town. A short walk behind the hotel takes you to the village which has some georgeous restaurants. My favourite was the Rustic garden which we visited twice. I would highly recomend this hotel and we will be back next year!
