We stayed at this hotel in the last week of October. We like to travel later in the year as it’s quieter but sometimes hotels can let their standards down as they are starting to close down - NOT Atlantica Beach Resort. We had an amazing stay here. We stayed in the main complex with an inland view. The room was lovely and we had a free bottle of bubbly for my wife’s birthday left in the room for our arrival. The hotel is stunning, right on the beach. The staff work incredibly hard to keep the hotel clean and to keep their guests happy. The entertainment team were so good. Fanny / Franz / Basil / Diogo and Drica . They were not pushy with the daytime entertainment especially as the pool was extremely quiet at times. The highlight for us was the evening Mini Discos. Our son absolutely loved it and my wife and I ended up singing the classics during our stay. Even my wife and I got up for a dance at times! The Spa was nice - but pre-warning a UK version of a Deep Tissue Massage is not the same as a Greek Deep Tissue. I really enjoyed it but I was in pain for a few days! No pain no gain! There are two bars outside, the Bare foot bar and the Ammos Bar over the other side near the main beach. The Ammos bar never had any drinks we wanted but the Bare foot bar was always fully stocked. Apple juice ran out on the 2nd day and the machine drinks I.e Orange Juice / Pepsi and Lemonade always tasted salty and at times undrinkable. I think this is due to the water used to water down the machine drinks. The only other issue I found was the beds gave me a sore back and the pillows are huge and not great for sleeping with. The three issues above may seem like I’m being critical, but these are very minor issues with what we found to be a lovely hotel and we had an amazing stay. Bring some snorkels and have a swim around the shallows. Lots of varieties of fish to see! Thank you for an amazing holiday.

“Amazing stay”

Just back from an amazing stay at this hotel we'd originally booked pre COVID and had to delay twice but we finally made it so I'll highlight our experience Hotel and rooms We arrived late at night check in was easy there is a tourist tax that I'd overlooked but was only 42 euros the hotel was s... more

Just back from an amazing stay at this hotel we'd originally booked pre COVID and had to delay twice but we finally made it so I'll highlight our experience Hotel and rooms We arrived late at night check in was easy there is a tourist tax that I'd overlooked but was only 42 euros the hotel was spotless and our bags was taken to our room we was in room 265 it was nice close to everything but far enough not to be noisy, the maid cleaned daily and left fresh towels and water the only recommendation I could make is maybe a couple of soft drinks in the room too Food We found something that we liked for every meal and the wife is really fussy and it was never cold apart from the salads obviously Entertainment There's a program of daytime activities we played darts a few times with Basil from the entertainment team and he was brilliant always smiling, there was also things like water polo and football there's also tennis courts get your rackets and balls from main reception, evening entertainment consisted of a mini disco for the kids followed by a show some brilliant a couple not so, il divo was the best for me Beach and pool Big pool plenty of sunbeds and pool bar but for me the beach was my preferred place plenty of sunbeds and an amazing sunset Staff For me this is what makes this resort so amazing everyone works so hard and are always doing everything they can to make your experience the best I do have a few stand outs though Basil from the entertainment team, the lad working on the bar at ammos in the day enjoy your time of and wrap up for Manchester, the girl at ammos bar on the evening my lad says she makes the best chocolate milkshakes, the maid for always making sure the room was nice, and all the waiting staff always so welcoming Overall it's been a awesome 2 weeks just what we all needed and would definitely recommend to anyone

“So many positives I wanted to go 5 stars but the drinks are awful..”

Staff 10/10 (friendly and helpful despite one or two other comments on here), the location and views are 10/10 (stunning) plus it never feels crowded because of the options on site. The accomodation is comfortable and clean (though TV is very limited). The food range is good too with something for everyone. There are a couple of significant downsides though - above all the drink quality (beer aside as that's fine). The wine is poor and Gin and other shorts are quite simply unrecognisable. Even the orange at breakfast is a sweet concentrate. The other big down is the evening meal experience. As others have said you can queue for 15-20 minutes just to get in the dining room, and once in it's a bit of a scrum to get food especially when going through the 2 narrow doorways to/from your table and the food stations a one way flow would help). It all feels rushed and not relaxed. The Italian specialty restaurant is buffet style too but you do get served at the Greek one (the latter is fab). It's easy to get to and from the local town by the way. A taxi to Kardemena (which has a stunning sea front) costs 11E and the bus stops outside the complex which charges a couple of Euros. Would I go back? Without doubt! I think it's ideal for families in particular with good entertainment too! I just hope they introduce an all-inclusive Premium drinks package before then. I'd happily pay extra and upgrade to that.

“Nearly perfect!”

We spent the last 2 weeks of the season here and can thoroughly recommend! The hotel is set in a beautiful location and as it was low season there was always comfortable seating with a great view and a bar in easy reach. We arrived at lunchtime and check in staff were friendly and efficient and we were shown to our room near the Greek reception, which was centrally located and only one other room in block. The room was adequate however the floor never felt clean and the balcony was very small. Bottled water was left in the room every day. The food was excellent and the buffet restaurant had a lovely outside seating area, we were moved to Italian restaurant for the last 3 days of holiday due to diminishing number of guests and the choice and environment were not as good as main restaurant however was adequate. We ate as soon as restaurant opened to avoid any queues, not sure how pleasant would be in main season. The Greek restaurant was worth a visit. There is a choice of bars in the day and a beach snack bar serving hot chips at lunch, again the main pool bar had queues some days and in main season could be long. The adult pool was very quiet and the bar man was friendly. The water was cold but fine when in! The beach has an area of sand to access and sea was pleasant for October. The entertainment team seemed friendly however only involved people by the pool and not as many varied activities on offer as have experienced in other hotels. Evening entertainment was okay, it’s a shame the acts repeat their set list weekly as this is not great for guests staying for two weeks, it would be more enjoyable if they sang different songs! The drifters act actually only sang two drifters songs and then returned later in week as the legends with a similar act. We hired a scooter from peters bikes in kardemena who are very professional. We only booked this hotel a month before coming and had a great deal so it was definitely value for money. All in all a good holiday and would return in low season.
