Overall Ratings & Reviews Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

Not enough choice in A La Carte and no Buffett lunch on all inclusive. Staff not particularly friendly at outside bar.

Great location , nice pools and beach. Friendly stuff and great food . The room was just OK and few things including AC were not functioning well . Overall a nice resort with a welcome feeling .

Fabulous hotel, we were fortunate to be upgraded to a junior suite, this was an absolute blessing as the only negative about the hotel is the “early sun bed rush”, but the junior suites have their own pools and sun beds. Overall a definite beachside side luxury hotel.

The property is in excellent condition. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. There is a low key and relaxing vibe to the resort. The facilities are first class. There can be a language barrier at times but just stay with it and you will get your point across. The buffet restaurant offers many choices and the quality is very good. The beach is on-site and the chairs and umbrellas are included. The area around the resort has limited restaurants, but Chania Harbor and Old Town are a short drive away, where there are numerous dining options, as well as some nice sights to see. There is a swim up bar, as well as a larger pool and hot tub area. The exterior seating of the Main Bar has an excellent view of the setting sun and is a fun place to grab a cocktail, with attentive servers. The on-site restaurants are small and offer limited seating, so make your reservations as soon as you arrive.

Beautiful resort hotel, grounds and rooms. The pictures don’t do it justice and the service was outstanding. We were greeted by the manager, George, who was present at all times ensuring that guests were accommodated and having a good experience. We were able to check-in early and were taken to our room which was a spacious, contemporary loft with an incredibly comfortable bed and bedding. There are multi pools overlooking the water. The beach area was not crowded when we were there and we had access to the beach chairs and umbrellas which were so comfy that we fell asleep. The beach water is very clear and shallow enough for wading or swimming. The extensive delicious breakfast buffet was a perfect way to start our day each day with an omelet station, fresh crepes, pancakes, pastries, fruits, smoothies and so much more. Outdoor dining was available providing a scenic breakfast view. There is a small beachy restaurant called Sunset Sky and Sea which was a casual yet cute restaurant perfect for sunset dining. Prior to our arrival at the Atlantica Kalliston Resort we stopped by and visited friends at a pricey neighboring Autograph Collection Hotel. While it was a very nice hotel, I felt that the Atlantica Kalliston Resort provided a nicer roomier room and overall better environment for our group. I would suggest renting a car as many of the popular beaches are an hour or more away.

Dated property, furnishings scuffed up, in need of painting in many areas

The resort was 5 star and provided excellent service

Absolutely beautiful hotel with lovely rooms and facilities. So close to a beautiful beach, loads of sun loungers, no one reserving with towels. Great staff and lovely food - better than most hotel breakfast buffets. Would 100% return

We had a wonderful stay in this hotel. We were lucky enough to be upgraded into a junior suite which was excellent. The quality of food available that the hotel was also excellent, we especially liked the lunch menu at that Greek restaurant. The staff could not have been more helpful, and we were always greeted with a smile. The location of the hotel is good, with a lovely beach right out front and some great local restaurants close by. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Staff was very nice. Food was delicious. TVs were outdated. The only way to stream shows/movies was to cast from our phones through a buggy app in the TV. The app took multiple attempts to connect, it had a 15 second delay, and would randomly disconnect. Our room whirlpool was very dirty. We asked them to clean it. They only added water and did not clean it. We never used it.

Great beach , staff were great lovely food

We arrived at 1pm and was told our room ready which we expected as check-in wasn’t until 3pm. So, we put on our suits and headed to the pool. We checked in with the front desk at 3pm and were told that our room was still not ready and that they would come and find us as soon as it was. By 5pm, we still hadn’t heard from anyone and we needed to get ready for our dinner reservation so we checked in again at the front desk and found that it was ready. No idea how long it had been ready but they didn’t attempt to contact us as they had said they would. The pools and rooms were lovely and the restaurants each had great food. There was a great selection of non-alcoholic specialty drinks which was a nice surprise for my husband who doesn’t drink. We went on a great excursion the next day and left early in the morning, returning around 3pm to discover that the room had not been cleaned, no towels brought in, etc. I stopped by the front desk to ask about getting the room made up and, at a minimum, have new towels delivered. The front desk team didn’t seem to know what was happening with room cleaning, etc. but indicated it would be taken care of immediately. When we headed back to the room a few hours later, it still hadn’t been taken care of. I asked again to have clean towels delivered and they arrived around 8pm. We had a few other experiences that were similar which just left us disappointed. For the money, I would find some place else to stay.

Had the most incredible time celebrating my birthday. Received a free upgrade upon check in and was lucky enough to stay in one of the villas. So beautiful!!!! The staff are amazing, very friendly and helpful. There is always someone asking if you’re okay or if you need anything. The food is really good especially for an all inclusive. They are definitely not stingy with the alcohol as well! Big thanks to Dennis, Christos, Daria & Nina I would 100% recommend.

This resort is incredible! It's beautiful, on the beach, in a great location, & the breakfast was amazing!! The buffet was huge with so many selections. The spa & pool area were wonderful, you really felt like you're on vacation with things such as a swim up bar, chairs on the beach and 2 pools to choose from. Our room had a balcony overlooking the pool and beach. The staff were so friendly, especially the swim up pool bartender. The upper outdoor lounge had music and places to sit, watch the sunset & enjoy apps and drinks. I highly recommend staying at this resort!!

Beautiful clean beach & pool areas! Friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent.

This was one of the best stays I’ve ever experienced! It was such a huge surprise that on my birthday they delivered cake and champagne to my room with a sweet card! I was speechless! I will be returning here without a doubt. The rooms were beautiful, there are so many pools, and it had such a gorgeous view. The breakfast was delightful!

Great start to our 10 day trip. We were able to relax, beach chair were easy to find. Drinks and service were great and walking outside the resort was safe. Would definitely stay again

The hotel rooms were modern and comfortable. With swimming pools, bars, restaurants,spa and gym to compliment the facilities. I particularly liked the free use of the sun loungers on the golden sand private beach. I did not find their App useful nor was I able to access hotel information on the TV in my room.

Good position with a sandy beach. Not enough sun beds on beach or pools, which encourages the early morning dash to reserve them. Even though there's a nonsensical sign forbidding it. Smoking is allowed everywhere so balcony doors have to be kept closed to prevent cigarette smoke blowing into your room. Rooms are shoebox size, with uncontrollable air conditioning. Similar with the shower (in the bath, not separate cubicle) which could change from scolding hot to freezing, in a second. And in the 1970s, we all remember having to put dirty toilet paper in a bin, not in the toilet, but in 2024??!! In a so called 5 star hotel??!! Unbelievable. The cleaning staff were exceptionally good and helpful and so were the breakfast waiters, where the breakfast buffet was very good, with a good selection of hot and cold meats, pastries, cheeses and very fresh salads and fruits. The hotel is let down by the reception areas with continuous loud music and pompous reception staff who seemed to be self important and more so than the guests the were suppose to be there to welcome. Not a good first impression when arriving ater a long flight.

Amazing stay at this property, will definitely recommend and be back when in Crete. Staff is very attentive Margarita and Apostolis were great. The resort is fantastic, the beach steps away from the room. Love music at night at the terrace a plus! Breakfast is fenomenal with a lot of food variety and a breathtaking pool and beach views. They upgraded me because we were visiting for my birthday and anniversary and our stay was more than fantastic. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
