Atlantica Mikri Poli Crete

Unforgettable vacation It was one of the best summer vacations of our family. Briefly about all + and -. Beach and sea. The sea is incredibly warm, transparent, clean, there were almost no waves, the entrance to the sea is gradual, convenient for both children and adults. There were no stones at all, the beach is sandy, shoes for a stony beach were not needed. There are always plenty of free sunbeds on the beach. Towels and sunbeds are free. Some sunbeds in the first row on the beach in the morning were already marked with "Reserved" signs, so there is an opportunity to reserve a sunbed, but we did not use it, there was no such need. Hotel room. We had a room with a partial sea view, located in the central building (where the reception is). In fact, it was the perfect full sea view! It should be considered that the hotel is located on a mountain, so the path from the reception to the pool and the sea goes down. Next time we would prefer a room by the pool. I am attaching a photo of the hotel map to the review so that you can clearly see how the hotel rooms are located. Animation. The hotel has a team of very cool animators who conduct activities in the pool, on the beach, in the fitness area, work with children in the kids club, and also conduct evening shows, beach and pool parties, children's discos. The coolest animation I've ever seen. I am attaching some photos from the evening shows. Food. A huge variety of food for every taste. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the main restaurant. Snacks between main meals can be taken at the pool bar and Deli Cafe on the 4th floor of the main building. In the main restaurant there is a children's area, where children pick their own food. Also, the restaurant has a special terrace for adults only (16+). For us, the choice of food was varied, the food was very tasty, there were also a lot of fruits and sweets. It was very difficult to control myself and not overeat 😊. The coffee in the machine is soluble, but in the morning in the parents' area of the main restaurant, you could make yourself a brewed coffee, which was simply fantastic (I've attached a photo). During the day, brewed coffee could be had at the Deli Cafe on the 4th floor for 2 euros. In the hotel's Greek restaurant, you can have dinner once for free. It was very interesting to try traditional Greek cuisine. Transfer from the airport to the hotel. This is the only minus of the whole vacation. It took us 3.5 hours from the airport by bus. Next time we will take a rental car transfer, which is very popular at this resort. We recommend renting a car from the airport to the hotel and back. Many families were on our bus from different hotels, and we spent a lot of time separating everyone. Secondly, the road in Crete is serpentine, and not everyone can easily tolerate such a road. The hotel has some very cool shops with quality Greek souvenirs, and the hotel itself is located on a street where many other gift shops offer a huge selection of gift items. Next to the beach on the left side is a mountain, which can be easily reached on the left side of the reception. There is an incredible view, you can take great photos and videos.
