Having been completely satisfied with the Aquila hotels—and especially the Elounda Village and Rithymna Beach —during our previous visit to Crete, this time, as our plans included a lot of activities around Heraklion, we stayed at the Atlantis.
The facilities are very beautiful, with a particularly attractive design, and the lobby is exceptional—a very pleasant and convenient space whether for dining, a meeting or work (yes, we did this as well), or simply for a drink and some relaxation.
The breakfast was very good, and the food was excellent in everything we tried.
The room we stayed in had an amazing view of the harbor and the Koule.
As always, what made the biggest difference was the exceptional staff, who, with great enthusiasm and cheerfulness, went above and beyond what we’d expect from a hotel in this category.
It was a pleasant surprise to find that the hotel has a few free parking spaces available, as well as a partnership with a large underground parking garage located just a few meters away at a very low cost.
We can’t wait to visit Atlantis and wonderful Crete again.
