Within 200 metres from the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, the 5-star Aquila Atlantis Hotel features an outdoor pool with unobstructed views over the harbour, a semi-covered pool and an elegantly decorated restaurant.








✓ Hellish to drive to from airport, but that applies to most of Heraklion centre.
✓ I liked the location so close to the town centre, harbour and archaeological museum. The included breakfasts were delicious with a huge choice. So much to see in the town and convenient for Knossos palace.
✗ Evening meal in the restaurant was expensive with very small glass of wine. I had it because of late arrival but there are about 1000 restaurants within ten minutes walk with great veggie food and large glasses. No comfortable chair to sit in room.
✓ The staff were really friendly and helpful. The location was good and accessible to town..9min walk. The pool and breakfast was good.
✗ The room (number 10)we received was so tiny for a couple,you couldn’t swing a cat in it as the saying goes.Nowhere to put your bags so we had to tread over them all the time.You could only have one person move around the room at a time and the balcony….why have it as you couldn’t move on it. The paper cup for tea/coffee a definite no no along with the plastic glass. Sorry but I couldn’t recommend this property to stay at.
✓ Location was excellent very close to town and staff were very helpful
✗ The room seemed very dated and for the price frankly I expected better
✓ Location
✗ Staff were very grumpy. I got an executive room with harbor view but there was no harbour to be seen. When I asked about it, they got overly defensive rather than simply ask me if i wanted to pay the extra 20 euros for a sea view. I didn’t even know that was an option.
✓ Breakfast was lovely, with plenty of options. The staff were brilliant and helpful Pool area was great.
✗ The rooftop pool could have been a bit bigger, or have more space for beds Bottles of beer were a little expensive
✓ The staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent. My room was very comfortable.
✗ Service at the pool was not present. For the quality of the hotel the pool, in general was underwhelming. A few changes could make it much for impressive.
