"This was the perfect place to stay. It was quiet but not empty with the pool bar helping all of your needs. The staff are a nice family and so helpful. I fell ill one night and the amazing man behind the pool bar brought me aspirin and got his father to bring a thermometer. The balcony was great for our cheap date night and the kids around the pool loves the pool toys almost as much as my boyfriend did."

"Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Ein Problem mit der Klimaanlage wurde sehr schnell behoben. Insgesamt kann man dort einen sehr entspannten Urlaub verbringen. Mehrere Strände sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Nach Chania City fahren regelmäßig Busse. Wir sind mehrere Male zu Fuß am Strand hin gelaufen. Negativ war nur das gelegentliche Hundegebell von den Nachbargrundstücken."

"A lovely apartment which was cleaned daily. Delightful location so close to the beach. The road is busy, however as the bedrooms are at the back, the traffic noise doesn't interrupt sleep. Chania old town is so pretty, a bus ride away, number 21. Throumbi restaurant a must. Would recommend, this is our second visit. Thank you."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Elea Apartments. The owners were always available and very helpful and gave us some great advice on restaurants in Chania. The location is excellent and very close to 4 lovely beaches and some very nice restaurants. The fact that it's so close to Chania was a real bonus which we made the most of. We'll definitely be coming back soon. Yamas, Martin and Tina."

"Die Anlage war wunderschön dekoriert und mit dem Pool bei heißen Temperaturen super zu nutzen. Weniger gefiel uns die Unterkunft, die schon deutlich abgewohnt und in die Jahre gekommen war. Der Boden wurde nur gefegt und ließ daher an Sauberkeit zu wünschen übrig, was mit einem krabbelnden Baby gar nicht geht. Wir mussten erstmal selber den Putzeimer in die Hand nehmen und wischen. Das Bett ist ausgelegen. In der Dusche war eine Halterung kaputt, die auf Reklamation aber getauscht wurde. Die...

"The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of space. Always had hot water. The host was excellent and very accommodating. He helped us find a place to print some tickets and offered places to visit. This apt is in a neighborhood and about a mile or so from the beaches and downtown Chania but was fine for us. A grocery store was within a few minutes walk and we walked everywhere in the Chania area, including the several beaches. We rented a car and parking was great at the apt. Driving...

"This was our second visit to Atlantica Amalthia. Very nice hotel. Everywhere was very clean, our room was a good size (we had a room in the building on the beach side) with nice balcony. Nice bar and restaurant. Breakfast room was nice and good choice of food.
Very well kept beach.
All of the staff were first class. So friendly, polite and extremely helpful.
Visited the spa and had two massages during my stay and both were very nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend. Reasonable price.
Didn't use the pool as it got busy very quickly. Sunbeds were very close together and not positioned well that you could get the sun all day. Whilst I enjoy swimming in a pool, we chose to stay on the beach each day.
Good location with plenty of restaurants nearby. Recommend Sebastien next door.
Absolute gem of a hotel and would definitely recommend it."

"The overall experience was good. The staff were very helpful and attentive. There was a bad smell in the first room we checked into, but they changed our room the next day, and the new room was much better. The housekeeping team also did a great job. The food and service at Zamana Restaurant were amazing as well.
I have stayed at many five-star hotels around the world, and I would say the service here is definitely five-star. However, based on the condition and quality of the rooms, I wouldn’t consider the hotel itself to be at a five-star level."
"Clean room with fairly powerful hair dryer but is stuck in bathroom. Beds comfortable and air conditioned. Good size fridge and safe. Triple room didn't provide enough chairs on balcony or enough hangers in wardrobe when we were booked as a 3 occupancy, but on asking we were provided with extras at no cost or issue and promptly.
Swimming pools x 2 big, clean but very cold. fairly comfortable loungers with umbrellas and clean towels provided daily but pool doesn't open early enough in my opinion 10am-6pm only. Plenty of restaurants to choose from but didn't try food but noted to be good. Good selection of well made cocktails and delicious ice cream milkshakes. Small mini market shop on site good for water and snacks. Staff friendly and helpful especially front desk. Indoor spa pool ok size, but pool not very warm and not many beds. Good neck shoulder back massage and you get 45min use of sauna and steam room with spa treatments only either before or after the treatment. Showers available to use in this area useful for check out day. Free sun loungers on small section of beach attached to hotel with good bar facilities. Breakfast buffet large selection cooked and cold options and restocked frequently so felt fresh with hot plates available. Some lovely complimentary snacks, wine, water and ala carte breakfast provided. 1 day of power cut to local area but we were warned and back up generator meant no issues other than noise if directly by the generator. Nice relaxing stay"

10/10 Excellent
"A quirky little hotel in the middle of old town Chania. We had an enormous two bedroom master suite with 2 bedrooms and a great outdoor bar area where we could sit and watch life go by in the old harbour and out to sea. The place was very clean and the staff very helpful - bringing our luggage from the taxi to the hotel and to the taxi at the end of the stay (the hotel cannot be reached directly by taxi. Breakfast was again quite quirky with all sorts of little goodies and a healthy cooked breakfast. The lighting was a bit complicated in the room and it was quite dark in the bedrooms but otherwise a perfect stay. We would highly recommend this place."
"Clean nice hotel. We were lucky to get a spot for our rental car with the hotel, but the space is very limited and likely needs to be arranged beforehand. This hotel location is ideal. It is on the edge of the old town - it is still fully accessible by car or taxi, yet close enough to walk to any areas of interest."
"We liked everything about the hotel! Excellent location. Forget about eating in the cafes along the waterfront. The dinner we had in the hotel restaurant was the best of our trip thus far and the lowest cost!"
