Mariou Holidays from 7 133 kr

The property itself was gorgeous. Loved having access to the pools and being a very short walk from multiple beaches. Was not a huge fan of the buffet dinners offered but there are plenty of restaurants a short walk away

Excellent property close to everything in Heraklion. The staff are helpful and friendly and always attentive to your needs. The breakfast buffet is superb with a great variety of food and the staff are ready to assist if and when required. I highly recommend the Aquila Atlantis.

Clearly the best hotel that I have stayed in my Greece trip.

We had a lovely stay. It was end of season and the resort was only half full, they were also closing a day early so had arranged our transfer to another hotel at no cost to ourselves. In addition because of this we were upgraded. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. This was really useful when arranging days out (make sure you have cash!). The resort was quiet and only one Ala carte restaurant was still open (it was good). I really liked the private beach and the bar was great, especially with having light snacks as well. It was nice to get nuts etc at other bars as well when having a drink in the evening. The facilities are a little care worn, clearly some maintenance required, did worry I was taking my life in my hands with the power socket in our room, it was very loose and the sink felt a little unsteady. The food was good standard buffet, so a night after a couple of days is required. It's a very short walk to the village beach front which has sufficient choice even at this time of year. I would certainly like to go again and see what it is like at a busier time, but great if you like the piece and quiet at end of season.
