Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel - Adults Only

Lovely , relaxing atmosphere throughout resort. Staff very friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Location has plenty of nearby restaurants and supermarkets. There is a bus that takes you to central Chania for 2€ 20 minute ride. Taxi about 16€.

No access to pool directly from your balcony

The hotel exterior and general appearance are really nice and well maintained. It gives off a premium, relaxing vibe right from the start. Breakfast was excellent – varied, fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The beach setup was one of the highlights: for 10 EUR, you get two sunbeds and an umbrella, plus two bottles of water and two small bowls of fresh fruit – a great touch and totally worth it. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful – they assisted us with everything we needed and were always polite.

The Bad: The Wi-Fi in the rooms was almost unusable. Internet connection only worked decently in the reception area, which was frustrating given the price level of the hotel. The light cleaning service, provided every two days, was poorly done. We left half-full wine glasses on the table – they were never removed during the entire stay. Hair in the bathroom remained there from one day to the next. Despite being an adults-only hotel, the cleaning staff was extremely loud in the morning – yelling at each other across hallways from 8–9 AM, making it difficult to sleep or relax. That defeated the whole purpose of choosing a quiet adults-only experience. The pool sunbeds were always occupied, even early in the morning. Although the hotel had a “no reservation” policy, many guests still “reserved” spots, and no one enforced the rules. We could never find a free spot by the pool, which was disappointing.

All staff were absolutely excellent... polite, professional, friendly, efficient. All locals too... Superb breakfast buffet. Nice mix of guests at the hotel; very relaxed atmosphere.

Gym facilities are basic and require a litlle attention; gym exists and is "adequate" but not up to same standard as the rest of the hotel facilities.

Fabulous, warm and friendly team and a great location for the beach and nearby sites.

I would not change a thing
