Hotel is quite a distance from Heraklion town. There is a daily bus, Monday to Saturday only. Fares are reasonable. Approx 4 Euros per person. On the 9am service you must come back on the 2pm bus. The second service is 2:45pm you are able to get to town, but are responsible for finding your way back to hotel after this. Taxi fare is approximately 40 euros. The hotel scenery is good. As it is a village style, there is a handy mini bus that can take you to and from the various amenities. Recommend sea view rooms and all inclusive package. Dining room - Spacious and clean with plenty of delicious food options. Found staff were friendly, approachable and super helpful. If you get the opportunity to visit the a la carte restaurant which is above the main dining area, there is a good menu and service in this restaurant is excellent. I would stay here again at some point in the future.

I told my daughters to europe as a graduation present and our 1st stop at Athina Palace Resort and Spa was amazing. When we checked in after midnight, they had a light dinner and wine waiting for us. The staff was responsive, helpful, friendly and professional. The resort was clean and the food was delicious. My only small complaint is a more consistent schedule for the shuttle service around the resort. Other than that, everything was perfect!

The hotel looks very nice from the outside and also in the pictures. The view is simply stunning and truly impressive. Unfortunately, the location is a bit inconvenient – there are no tavernas or attractions around. Although it is presented as a five-star hotel, in our opinion it is more like a 3.5-star standard. The food was often cold, very monotonous, and with little variety. There was no live cooking, not even at breakfast. The all-inclusive drinks were quite average, as expected, but the paid drinks at the bar were excellent – some of the best I have ever had. This hotel is not the right choice for people who want to explore Crete. It is rather for those who just want to pay for an all-inclusive stay, relax at the hotel, and do nothing else. The cleaning service was poor, and the sunbeds on the beach were dirty – something unacceptable for a five-star hotel. Everything seems like more as quantity rather then quality. On a positive note, Irina at the reception was absolutely fantastic and made our stay really enjoyable in terms of entertainment. Also, Maria at breakfast was very friendly and left us with a great impression. Overall, the hotel left us with a disappointing impression, and we definitely would not book it again.

Athina Palace boasts modern rooms, with a private pool room upgrade adding a luxurious touch. However, slight renovations are needed: gaps around doors and tired paintwork detract from the otherwise pleasant spaces. The resort shines with beautiful pools and gardens. The "relax pool" offers tranquility, while the "active pool" provides a lively atmosphere. Efficiency reigns supreme with friendly staff and exceptional reception service. Thoughtful touches like pick-up points around the hotel (especially helpful for those with mobility limitations) ease the walk from the beach. While car rentals are convenient, especially with Babis' friendly assistance, room cleanliness was a major letdown. In room 614, cigarette smoke wafted in from a nearby service area, ruining the fresh feeling. This seems to be a recurring issue for guests. The animation team, while enjoyable, presented solely in French. Some, particularly the male staff, came across as arrogant. English integration would significantly enhance the appeal. Repetitive shows with a strong French focus suggest a need for program diversity. The clean, well-maintained restaurant offered friendly service, but food variety was lacking – daily menus felt repetitive. A touch of staff enthusiasm and dress code enforcement could elevate the dining experience. A designated greeter to welcome guests and ensure dress code adherence would be a welcome addition, as many disregarded it. And cocktails should be served in a glass, not a cup

Wir hatten einen einzigartigen Blick auf das Meer und das Zimmer war technisch (Klimaanlage usw.) absolut auf Stand. Das Personal war freundlich und sehr hilfreich. Allerdings bestand die Minibar aus zwei stillen Wasser (das haben schon ganz anders erlebt), ebenso war das Buffet schmackhaft nicht opulent. Die 2€ für das Gepäckschließfach müssen in dieser Preisklasse des Hotels aber doch auch nicht sein. Die Animation war ausschließlich in Französisch (für die, die darauf Wert legen evtl. ärgerlich). Alles in allem hatten wir eine schöne Zeit.

Sehr schöne Lage, Anlage ist prinzipiell auch im guten Zustand. Zimmer neu renoviert und Klimaanlage sehr gut. Fitnessstudio leider nicht wie erwartet. Der Kofferträger war sichtlich persönlich verletzt als er für 30 m Koffer schieben kein Tip bekam und hat es uns den ganzen Urlaub nachgetragen. Auch bewusst mit dem Shuttle Bus bei uns nicht angehalten oder ignoriert. Unschön. Ansonsten sehr schön dort
