Greece Eco-friendly Vacations

The pools were great! The store is wonderful and has all of the necessities and more. The beach is incredible as well! If you choose to go off and explore, there are rental cars and buses very near! The staff is so kind and helpful. We really enjoyed how we were treated by the staff! Things we think need to be improved: Limited kids club hours and it’s not very exciting for children as they often stay in and colour/paint. But the staff is lovely. The turnover in the dining room is slow and some food service is very inefficient. I do think this is partly due to people not knowing how to tidy up after themselves and/or grab more than they need.

Good central location but service was poor. Cleaners walked into our room in the morning without even knocking while we were still in bed. Food was below average

We had an amazing holiday at Mitsis Royal Mare. The resort it’s beautiful, relaxing time and great food.

We attended a wedding at the hotel and stayed for 3 nights. It was my first all inclusive and i didn't know what to expect it was lovely. We tended to skip breakfast that was v busy and have lunch at 12.30. the food was delicious considering the number of guests and there was lots of choice. I am gluten intolerant and so many healthy options. we were in a swim up family room that was secluded and quiet. Everything well maintained and spotless

Loved the ocean and all of the amenities! beautiful, expansive beach was perfect for open water swimming. Swim-up bungalow was a bonus for our water-loving family. Service was top notch. I did not love all of the prepared food, but there were so many food choices, there was always something fresh and delicious to eat.

The private pool in our room was phenomenal, yet the towel services for the resort were obscure. Also, the large resort pool chairs were always “held” by patrons who never removed their towels which was frustrating as someone who came in after them.

Great Hotel, the staff here is excellent

This is not an all-inclusive resort, it is semi-inclusive. You are limited to two restaurants although there are seven of them and once you use up your reservations you must eat at the buffet restaurant. Further, room service is not included (unless you count the water and few cans of soft drinks that they may refill daily). The Greek staff is generally rude and not willing to help, that being said the foreigners are much friendlier and assist whenever you ask. Overall, the resort was okay not the best but not bad. The spa services were nice and the two restaurants we were allowed to try had okay food essentially what you would expect in a hotel restaurant.

My daughter and I stayed at the Aquila Atlantis Hotel during our visit to Heraklion. While it didn't have the unique character and intimate atmosphere of some of the boutique hotels we stayed at elsewhere in Greece, it was still a comfortable and convenient place to stay. The hotel's biggest strengths are its location and amenities. It was easy to walk to many of Heraklion's attractions, restaurants, and the waterfront, making it a good base for exploring the city. The property is modern, well-maintained, and offers the services and facilities you would expect from a larger hotel. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for our needs. The staff was professional and helpful throughout our stay, and check-in and check-out were both smooth and efficient. For travelers looking for a full-service hotel in a central location, Aquila Atlantis is a solid choice. It may not offer the charm, history, or personalized feel of a boutique property, but it delivers what it promises: a comfortable stay, good service, and a convenient location for exploring Heraklion. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to visitors who prefer a larger hotel experience or need a convenient base before exploring the rest of Crete.

Breakfast was great, beach access excellent
