Attalos Apartments

THE BEST PLACE

Reviewed By scandic007

My family and I were in Attalios apartments in the late September. The owners Adonis and Dora were extremely welcoming with real hospitality. The apartment was large with very nice equipped kitchen and very comfortable.The place has a swimming pool witch is nice for relaxing.Child friendly.Our child was very happy to play with a toys in the lobby.Only 7-8 minutes walk from the beach. The beach is very nice with crystal clear water. They also own the Bravo restaurant on the beach front with very good and tasty food and excellent service and they’re doing Cretan nights with live music and dance.Thank you for everything for the great hospitality. We will be back for sure. ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Absolutely fantastic

Reviewed By B6555HKbrianb

Stayed here with my wife to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and we had a great time. Resort is built on a hill so has lots of slopes and stairs but don't let that deter you as the team are more than happy to run you from place to place on the golf buggies 24/7 We booked a Superior room with Independent pool which was absolutely beautiful however all the rooms are a very high standard. We requested to be moved to be a bit closer to the main ares and this was done the next morning with no fuss and the room was even better than the original. Food is fantastic and a wide variety for everybody, all inclusive drinks are good quality with London beefeater gin and ballentines whisky, local beer is great and the house wines served with lunch and dinner are very nice. 4 restaurants including the main and another 3 you can use for 1 night each, spa is 1st class and comes highly recommended. If you want to go out there is a lovley beech at the bottom of the road which also has a selection of bars and souvenir shops. If you want to go shopping the local buss stops right outside the hotel reception and for under 4 euros you can take a trip to Heraklion which is a great city to visit. Book this hotel, you will not be disappointed!

You are really on the peninsula with spectacular views and cuisine

Reviewed By Alexiabasilfia

We had the most amazing time at the Peninsula Resort and Spa. The spa itself is wonderful. I had a facial and a full body massage and fell asleep during the facial it was so good! They also have a steam room and sauna and indoor pool for after your treatments. As for the pools, they are amazing for children! I have a 7 and 11 year and we’ve been coming here from the USA for the past 4 years because it never disappoints and you have everything you need; my kids love the salt water pool because there are numerous areas to jump into the water and the pool with the water slides. You also have access to two sand beaches, a platform beach (my personal favorite) with a bar so you can drink you coffee and eat and relax and swim in the warm crystal clear sea all day and into the evening. The views are unobstructed and unreal. I feel a peace and calm here. This is why we always come back. The staff are amazing, the food is top notch and there’s always something fresh and new available. We highly recommend vacationing here. The staff love children - they aren’t a bother - they are welcomed! But there are plenty of travelers without kids too so it’s a nice mix. The photos are not exaggerating. This is what the hotel is like!

TL:DR noisy

Reviewed By Gillian S

Overall, we had a pleasant stay but the one thing that stood out above all else was the approach to entertainment. We arrived past midnight and were given a room very close to reception and the terrace where music was still being played and guests were talking loudly until 3am. The following night was worse and the noise reached over 80 decibels inside our room at 12:30am. I asked at reception what time we could expect this to stop and was dismissed with a hand flap to go ask the animation team. I did and was told that it would continue until everyone had 'stopped having a good time'. Thank heavens for Irene who moved us the following day to a, technically inferior, room but one far removed from the thumping music and drunken guest behaviour. After that we could sleep finally and began having a better time. No-one in the animation team seems to know how to operate a sound system as around the pool we were subjected to loud 20 second blasts of various songs then silence again. Volume jumped, songs ended abruptly or were badly mixed with others and the aqua aerobics volume forced some to retreat to the other pool. Other than noise: - rooms were clean, beds comfy and the air con very efficient. Take all own toiletries as the shampoo/ body wash will strip all moisture from hair and skin. - views are stunning - try to breakfast early on the balcony for the best sun and quiet. - Maria tries her best but they really need more people on the pool bar or bigger cups to save so many repeat trips. The choice of drinks is limited. - the day trip we went on (organised through reception but not run by the hotel) was fun but badly run. The packed lunch we got from reception was decent (and unexpected) but they do not cater for vegans. - food was standard. My sister thoroughly enjoyed one day's only vegan option of steamed cauliflower... I thoroughly enjoyed shellfish allergy roulette when finding prawns in quite a few dishes where prawns should not be. The slight obsession with 'turkey cheese' was interesting too. - late checkout is €50. Don't bother as there's luggage storage and the option of using a room for 20 minutes to have a shower - enjoy the gardens. Some of the flowers are stunning and their beauty will detract from the slightly sewage smell that comes and goes. - the way back from the beach is steep - wear lots of sunscreen and drink lots of water :)

Lovely welcome. The facilities were perfect. The service were top class. The staff is very friendly, smiling and helpful. The reception (Maria) arranged a trip to a wine yard for us which our travel agency didn't managed to do. The hygiene is perfect, a+. The food, super delicious. The place and the staff should have 10 stars out of 5. I will bring my son next time we come here. It is highly recommended from us. Louise and Emma, Denmark.

Beautiful hotel with great food

Reviewed By simondb1

Beautiful hotel with lots of flowers and green. When we arrived we got an upgraded room with a big balcony and a nice view over the entire area. (though all the balconies seem to have a nice view). The rooms were very clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Because we were travelling with a young child, we opted for the included dinner. Every night we got to choose between different options for each course. The food was very good and portions were large. The breakfastbuffet was excellent. In conclusion; Everything was great! I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Amazing view but lacking any luxury

Reviewed By laurapG9935KU

This property is all about the view, and it is absolutely amazing! The owner is a very nice lady. Now a few issues: the road is rough (only access for one car for a long stretch), the photos are not necessarily accurate, and a challenge to find reception (although this has been mentioned in many reviews which gives the feeling that the owner doesn’t care to change this). I think many of the photos are the private villas, which appear to be much more up to date but there are only two villas. While it’s a lovely property, I do not think it’s luxurious at all… it may have been spectacular when it first opened. A few other things: had a really short shower curtain so the entire bathroom floor got wet when showering and kitchen could use more utensils. There was an old, abandoned car not far from the pool as well as areas that could have been touch up a bit. In summary, I think it’s a great value for the money however if it is luxury you desire, look elsewhere.
