Overall Ratings & Reviews Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

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.

Fantastic property with quick access to an excellent beach! 20 minute cab ride to Old Town. No need to spend extra money on the swim up room, you're 2 minute walk from an excellent beach. Great dining options at the property. Great gym, fantastic pool. Excellent staff.

The resort is exactly what I envisioned for a tropical relaxing vacation. It is centrally located in Chania and accessible to other popular areas by bus, car and taxi. There are several good restaurants and local shops just walking distance away. The complimentary breakfast buffet in the hotel is excellent with a wide variety of options. In terms of lunch/dinner options, be sure to make reservations for the hotel restaurants via the online app as they get booked up fast and we never got a chance to experience dine in for dinner. The beach/pool areas are spacious and we did not encounter any issues with securing a lounge chair. Be warned that the pools are extremely cold, leaving the beach as a better option for swimming. While the resort itself is beautiful, the hotel rooms are quite average with no additional bells and whistles. The TV channels in our room were not working and although we requested IT assistance, the issue was not rectified. Overall, the service around the hotel is less than what you would expect from a high end hotel. There are some staff members that are accommodating, it can be hit or miss with getting consistent hospitable service. Additionally, if you are young and looking for a lively, entertaining environment, this hotel is not the place. The hotel caters to a senior population and there is not much to do after hours.

We loved our stay, and the staff made the start of our honeymoon in Crete perfect! We can not recommend this hotel enough.

Bus service right outside hotel. 2Euro to Chania Town Spacious Bus

Absolutely beautiful! And they upgraded us upon check in for our honeymoon. Wonderful stay

The room was a great size and the staff were super friendly. Breakfast buffet was great and a favourite part of the day, though the rest of the food (especially dinner options) weren’t that great. Pool and beach areas were amazing, loved that there were three with different vibes (one quieter and one with a DJ) so you could choose based on what you wanted. There was a rooftop bar as well which had a lovely ambience and lovely evening music. Would go back again!

We arrived last week of August 2024 for one week of rest and relaxation. Very nice greeting on arrival and escort to our room. Facilities were very good with very attentive staff. Food was of a very high standard. Drinks were all top shelf. The pools and grounds were immaculate with a few steps to the sandy beach and very clear sea. A big thank you to Giannis and Elina the bar staff, for great service and conversation. The shop over the road sells bus tickets into the Old Town at 1.20 euros per trip.Just a couple of personal negative points, there were frosted glass toilet doors on the pool toilets which were very off putting, the bathrooms are in need of and update and there could be more signage within the hotel as it is a very large property to navigate. Overall a fantastic stay at the Atlantica Kalliston Resort.

They were so lovely, amazing food, lovely beach, quiet. Just what you want when you go away to relax.

The pool and new rooms we’re Great and very clean

This was a perfectly nice hotel and I had a good stay. To be honest, I'm not sure why this resort is listed as 5 star. I did not think certain elements were five star. It's an older property with some rooms recently renovated, the "cafe" that you can get food at is very sad and not health focused - like one piece of deli meat on the sandwich and pounds of mayo, no F&B service to the lounge chairs, you're responsible for your own towels, etc. But the newly renovated rooms are really nice and the restaurants on the property have good food. I will also say, the staff is really nice and very accommodating. Just a few things and upgrades this property could easily do to get to a 5 star rating, in my opinion

We loved how friendly the staff was! Beautiful resort.

Staff helpful and friendly
