"There’s a reason this hotel has so many good reviews - it’s absolutely amazingly well run.
The rooms actually looked better in person than the pictures to our surprise.
I was also very impressed with the food as it was all fresh, healthy and the variety served was all done to a high quality. The staff were also exceptionally helpful.
The only minor issue was people reserving sun loungers at the pool but that’s common in many places. However the hotel has ample sun loungers on the beach which made up for it."
"👍das Personal war sehr freundlich und professionell; die Lage ist sehr gut, da kurze Fußwege zu zahlreichen Tavernen, einen kleinen Strand und über eine schöne Promenade zur wunderschönen Altstadt; traumhafter Meerblick von der der 4. Etage oder höher (auf höhere Kategorie mit Meerblick achten); das Frühstück war okay
👎die Tiefgarage (Auforeis 10€/N.) ist selbst für geübte Autofahrer eine Herausforderung-ist sollte man nach meiner Erfahrung unbedingt nur mit einem kleinere Fahrzeug wie Kia Picanto o.ä. reinfahren, da diese Tiefgarage sehr eng ist; nach unserem Bedürfnis fehlen im Badezimmer Haken und im Wohnbereich weitere Ablagen für Kleidung)"
"The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making the stay even more enjoyable. The beach was beautiful, and the facilities were very clean throughout. A truly relaxing and pleasant experience."
"My daughter and I stayed at the Aquila Atlantis Hotel during our visit to Heraklion. While it didn't have the unique character and intimate atmosphere of some of the boutique hotels we stayed at elsewhere in Greece, it was still a comfortable and convenient place to stay.
The hotel's biggest strengths are its location and amenities. It was easy to walk to many of Heraklion's attractions, restaurants, and the waterfront, making it a good base for exploring the city. The property is modern, well-maintained, and offers the services and facilities you would expect from a larger hotel.
Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our needs. The staff was professional and helpful throughout our stay, and check-in and check-out were both smooth and efficient.
For travelers looking for a full-service hotel in a central location, Aquila Atlantis is a solid choice. It may not offer the charm, history, or personalized feel of a boutique property, but it delivers what it promises: a comfortable stay, good service, and a convenient location for exploring Heraklion.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to visitors who prefer a larger hotel experience or need a convenient base before exploring the rest of Crete."
