Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel

Wonderful hotel! Sandy beach, few people, quiet, excellent cuisine. Very nice spa salon, very atmospheric, nice staff, enjoyed the massage. The hotel gives you the opportunity to enjoy the sea, beautiful landscapes, and relax both soul and body.

What a fantastic hotel, firstly it’s 20 mins transfer from the airport, win win when you have 2 tired kids, we arrived around midnight and were shown to our rooms where there was a sandwich and drink waiting for us, now on to the food.. breakfast has something for everyone and all the food is very tasty, lunchtime is fantastic for salads etc and the snack bar is available pretty much all day for the kids to pick what they want when they get a little peckish, evening meals again has loads of choice, we’re currently in our 4th day and the variety of food has been excellent, topped off with a perfect pool for our girls and the weather this time of year is superb, we normally finish our day with a cocktail in the evropi bar before getting ready for the evening, our girls love the mini disco, If I was to have one gripe, it would be the storage and wardrobe space is very poor for a family of 4, however I would definitely come back as this place has a very relaxed vibe, water park tomorrow which were looking forward to as it looks great for the kids

Outstanding Hotel. Whether you want a quiet relaxing time away or have a fun active holiday this is the place for you. Food is incredible. Staff are out of this world with perfect hospitality. Polite, friendly and always smiling. Cleanliness is great. We personally could not fault this hotel at all and wouldnt change anything. Animation team were so good to the stage where our son wants to join them professionally. Waterpark was great fun with lifeguards. There is cosy little courtyards where you can sit and chill on an evening or for a livelier night go and watch the evening entertainment. Compliments to all staff from Housekeeping to Chefs to Management. You are all the best. We will without doubt be returning.

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. The food was delicious and there were plenty of options to choose from. The staff was also very professional, especially Nikos from Italy, who we’d like to thank for being so kind and welcoming. Wonderful place.

Well what an amazing hotel this was it is more like a 5 star than a 4 star, all the staff at the hotel were extremely nice and nothing was to much trouble. The food was the best i have had in an all inclusive for a very long time, thankyou Atlantica Akti zeus and all your staff see you again soon.

Overall the hotels four star rating seems fair to us. We were a family with 15 year old twin boys that travelled on a TUI package out of East Midlands for 5 nights, right at the end of the school summer holidays. Transfer took around half an hour (we were fourth stop). We were allocated two interconnecting ground floor rooms 154 and 156. Modern and perfectly comfortable, albeit the aircon “minimum” is evidently centrally controlled as the lowest it could be set at was 24 degrees – which whilst significantly lower than the mid 30’s outside might not be cool enough for some. The TV featured BBC1, Sky News International, and ITV, albeit we lost reception twice during our stay (reception advised “they have a lot of problems with the satellite”). The shower was good and initial toiletry miniatures were provided (but not replenished). Linen was changed once on our third night. The view from our balcony was of overgrown planting and a service road where staff park so nothing to write home about (but I fully accept we didn’t pay for a premium view). Note that the rooms with arguably the best view (over the pools and out to sea) are more or less north facing so only get sun part of the day. The hotel was very busy (98% occupied) with a mix of British, German and other guests. It is nicely laid out, and not too big. The main pools open from 0930 to 1830 (and are “chained off” when closed), albeit on the Monday they were very late opening – after 10am, which staff claimed was “Greek time” when I queried. The waterpark is open 1030 to 1800, and they were very quick to close the entrance to the slides at 1745 and start packing up the loungers and moving everyone out (“Swiss time” adopted when it relates to closing time perhaps?). Nevertheless, the rides were good – we tended to spend an hour there both in the morning and afternoon. There are multiple lifeguards (which contrasts with the main two pools where one girl was seemingly covering two large pools with tens of people in them on her own. Food was generally very good – a great choice, well cooked and not a problem finding a table either inside or out, even though the hotel was full. The Greek speciality was also very good (you can book one visit a stay via the screen in reception). Another highlight was the included waffles and crepes available from the café near the main entrance at the front of the hotel. Drinks were reasonable, but only local brands are included in the all-inclusive, and there is a fixed cocktail list – “Orange spritz” being the equivalent of Aperol etc. Branded drinks, such as Baileys and Malibu are available at additional cost. As are “slushes” that have been all inclusive in all other hotels we’ve stayed at. Entertainment was variable – there is a six-days a week programme (nothing on Sunday) including water polo, darts, beach volleyball etc. Evening entertainment (on the roof terrace above reception) featured some professional singers etc. but also the entertainment team with som

We have returned from this hotel last week and would say there are pros and cons although we wouldn't return. Pros: - Thd food was very good, probably the best all inclusive I have been to. - The stuff we're very friendly and helpful - The 2x outside bar areas near reception were lovely and had a nice feel to them - Loved the waffle/crepe store Cons: We felt parts of the hotel weren't a 4* ie the pool area, the room didn't seem to be cleaned that well. There was dirt all up the walls outside our swim up pool area. The curtain was hanging off when we arrived. The emergency intercom kept falling g off the wall in the bathroom (this was being help on with vcro) When you go on the beach, look to your left there is a very big eye sore of very big power stations. The beach isn't very clean and didn't seem to be cleaned each day ie cigarette butts, rubbish and cups .

We recently returned from vacation and were in this hotel, I can only say positive words We were delighted with this hotel, the hotel is very beautiful, staff friendly, polite and always ready to help if needed The food at the hotel is very tasty The hotel is well maintained, the pool is very clean The room was cleaned every day and warm at the highest level From our balcony we could see the pool and the sea The hotel is in a very convenient location, there is public transport nearby that can take you to Heraklion The hotel also has a wonderful water park suitable for children over 10 and under. I would be happy to go to this hotel again, thank you very much

Nice weather, very nice hotel and service. The bartenders Vaula and Giorgos are the best team, they gave us a lot of laughs, very nice people and they also made the best drinks ever food was delicious and everyone can choose something for themselves
