All in all a great holiday and made some great memories here that we’ll always keep close to our hearts.

Overall  we had a good time and a holiday is what you make it.

I confirm all positive reviews written on this site, this place is wonderful for a family vacations.

Overall we had a good holiday that was great value for money so might return at some point.

but overall we were really impressed and had a great family holiday.

All things considered our holiday was enjoyable.

On the first day of our family holiday ( also my sons 11th birthday) we visited the waterpark.

10/10 Holiday
Food and hotel were great- can’t complain 
Staff are the best about, big shoutout to Stefanos and all the bar staff 
Shoutout to Nikolas as well for the great reception on every occasion

Just got back from a lovely holiday at the Akti Zeus.

The food and drink was very good throughout the holiday.

Highlight of our holiday most incredible day out,  highly reccomend and it gives you a insight into how gorgeous crete is and how horrendous the hotels location is.

but it's a holiday and people were enjoying themselves so all is good with me.

What an amazing holiday, my first time going all inclusive so wasn't sure what to expect.

but efcharistó to everyone who made our holiday such a great break!

All in all though, love Greece, loved the holiday.

You don’t even notice it, you can’t smell the ‘toxic fumes’ people complain about and it doesn’t ruin the atmosphere or your holiday.

Despite all the above we made the most of our holiday and had a good time

Would recommend this hotel to any family looking for a relaxing beach break.

Overall we had an absolute great time here and we would like to thank Atlantic Atki Zeus for a perfect holiday.

however ,The food in the restraunt is poor, i can honestly say ive been to lot of AL and travelled a fair bit, this is by far the worst food ive had, we had raw chicken which we informed the staff, they were horrified and apilodlgetic,we let the Tui rep know incase anyone became ill. My partner and i got diffrent chicken so it wasnt isolated.

Highly recommended to all, adult entertainment is a little poor

It was quite poor overall and again very little interaction with people round the pool area.

Sort of economic peapole coming to this place make stay really poor.

The all inclusive is poor, especially with the drinks unless you want to pay “more” money to get a better drink which goes against an all inclusive package.

Entertainment is poor, costumes, dancing , kids disco all lack effort and input from TUI.

although saying that I thought the entertainment was poor so we didn't miss out.

Other than swapping rooms  the staff offer no solution which leaves the next poor family to be constantly disturbed.

has very poor people skills and really needs to think about the manner in which she speaks to people.

I want to start this review by saying I have never left a poor review of anywhere as it takes a lot for me to hate somewhere that much .

Ignore any poor reviews especially regarding the power station this has no effect on the hotel at all.. it tells you about it when you book it therefore shouldn’t be surprise when you arrive.

Check in was poor and didn’t have a cot available on arrival, no drinks available.

Drinks 

The drinks at this hotel are poor.

Our air-conditioning was very poor, I'm not sure if this was just our room or was the same throughout all rooms

The hotel rooms were so clean, cleaned daily.

The room was immaculate, bedding changed every 2 days if you wanted and towels changed as you wanted them, the view of the pool and sea was gorgeous.

The rooms are spotless lots of hanging space and drawers,lots of plugs sockets, the towels were changed everyday and linen twice in our 7 day stay.

The rooms are clean and towels etc changed daily.

Hotel and our rooms were clean all the staff were great.

Apart from that, hotel and room was clean, food was delicious and people were nice.

The hotel room was clean, roomy and the beds were so comfortable!

Our rooms were clean every day and stocked with fresh towels.

Best holiday ever, food is amazing with multiple choices, rooms are clean and service doing their best for you, kids really enjoy the place, Very good shots from bar Man lobby bar George really recommend, we will definitely come back again!! !

, the Pool is very nice and the rooms are Clean.

Room cleaned each day, the service was great, they do a spectacular job.

Our room was very clean,  the food was very good, beautifully presented with a great choice, something for everyone.

Room was clean, well equipped, no complaints.

The rooms were clean and tidy and well supplied with toiletries and towels and air con was good.

Rooms are cleaned to a great standard and the facilities in the room are useful (tv with kids channels, hairdryer, safe and minifridge, clothes maiden on the balcony)
Shop on site is handy (albeit expensive)

The rooms were clean, well equipped and neat enough cleaned to a high standard every day.

The rooms are clean and modern and spacious so no complaints there.

The evening entertainment was brilliant, especially the man on the piano; got us up dancing to some classics.

Entertainment was ok slightly caravan park type except for the lady singing on legends night who was really good.

but that looked well looked after too
- The entertainment team did a fab job with the kids disco, everyone loved it
- The archway with the flowers is beautiful
- Really close to the airport - don't bother with the Tui transfer just grab a taxi, you'll be there in 15 mins!

The entertainment crew are young kids who are keen and encouraging.

Entertainment team tried very hard on a low budget and always had smiles on their faces, they are a credit to the hotel.

The entertainment in the outside bar was ok,

We never ventured up to the evening entertainment bit there was always something going on.

if u want to experience santirini this trio is great gives you 6 hrs on the island, i wouldn't say its value for money and its a tad chaotic

Had some wonderful entertainment, particularly loved the singers who are booked In.

The nighttime entertainment was a massive let down, the entertainment team host it in the ‘conference room’ which in the evening with low budget entertainment felt a lot like sitting in a miners welfare club - so we avoided that!

The entertainment team were lovely, the sea was great with big waves to jump in (I'd recommend purchasing some sea shoes as there's some big rocks in the sea) and the pool was always kept clean.

Think my 6yo boy has a crush on Skyla, insisted on going to the mini disco, think he fancied his chances!

although the sound did cut out on some of there shows in the evening.

Entertainment in the bar was relaxing and enjoyable.

The evening entertainment was good if you could get  a seat in the tiny 80s style conference room which was extremely hard to do.

The evening entertainment was quit interesting.

The evening entertainment was very very amateurish and always running late.

The pool has a lively feel, with plenty of things to do offered by the hard working entertainment team and friendly spa staff.

but the carpets in the corridor could do with an update, they were splattered in bleach stains.

My wife hit her chin on my sons head causing a nasty cut that required 5 stitches.

Only down side is that the slush wasn't included (€3 )

The power plant, I don't get peoples complaints with it, you have to go out of your way to look at it, even in the sea it doesn't really catch your eye and even if it does its not even that bad, didn't smell it either.

We could not smell the power station so really did not cause any issues.

Ignore the comments re: power station, it’s not that close and didn’t smell or bother us.

but we were not aware of how big it was and how much you could smell the smoke most evenings.

but I honestly can’t see why it’s a problem, we never looked at it a thought anything about it we never smelt anything from it and it’s really not that much of an eye sore.

right next to the active power station that was  smoking all day leaving horrible smell in the air.

Btw there is a small power station next door - the pictures look far worse than it is - you can barely see it unless you’re in the top bar and can smell it or anything.

Bath and balcony really bad smell from drain.

Really disappointed when we arrived as I live on a main road I was not happy as my room faced the main road and the power station , con-try to other reviews I could smell the power station and sitting around the pool you could see black smoke coming out followed by yellow smoke .I asked to change my room

but did not impact on our holiday as not smelly or noisy as others have suggested.

Negatives
- The power station is ugly, occasionally smelly and almost guaranteed to be expelling something into the sea at the hotel's beach.

I think I noticed it twice in the 10 days we was there and smelt it once when the wind blew a certain way, the smell didn’t stay….

The carpets in the corridors are filthy and the rooms need some TLC.

The only other negative was that smoking was permitted throughout the outdoor spaces around the pool and the cafe which was frustrating with children.

Enjoyed an hour or so each day in the water park.

Water park is super fun and worth a visit our daughter loved it and so did we 

All of the bar staff where fantastic and made our stay laughing and joking.

We had no issues with the water park and felt the life guards were really ‘on’ safety.

We paid extra for a rollaway bed which meant our daughter had a proper bed rather than a sofa bed, so would recommend that
- Our room was nice and quiet and the evening entertainment finished at about 11 so no issues on that front 
- The water park had two kiddy zones and adult flumes - can easily spend 2/3 hours there which is great
- Lots to do, we only left the hotel twice.

We had a great afternoon at the water park.

Loved the water sports (hiring jet skis) and water park on sight!

The water park was great for my daughter and never to busy.

We had a great 2  weeks here kids loved the water park food was excellent was a bit worried before we came as read a lot about the power station don’t know what all the fuss was about you have to really look to see the towers from inside the hotel would definitely stay again

The water park was never over crowded, was such a bonus that there aren’t any queues at all and my toddler really liked the ‘non splashy’ little slides at the back.

The walk down private beach area is perfect and the water park feature for the kids a great addition.

but the water park was great fun we went everyday.

I wish we could give them all a tip…Great for families and the water park is a super addition to break the day up.

Water park was good fun and the entertainment team was wonderful.

There is a kids club by the water park which has a list outside of things they do.

), the kids enjoyed the entertainment, the water park was great and it’s so close to lots of amenities.

Water park is set right at back of hotel with tiny space around it, pictures are deceiving.

It was nice having some water slides in the hotel as well to change up the days a bit without having to pay to go out to a water park.

Atlantica Akti Zeus Hotel

water park

The balcony had a view of the harbour and fort it was also very big.

The view of the harbour and Koules Castle from my balcony was lovely.

Our room - junior suite with sea view - was a good size wwith a nice balcony and great view over the harbour and to the Venetian Fort.

Location overlooking harbour and short walk into town had spectacular views

The restaurant is on the 4th floor,  great views of the harbour.

- a lovely bright room with good living space plus separate bedroom, tea/coffee, long balcony and super view of the harbour.

We loved the balcony with the view over the harbour, that was great.

The restaurant offers amazing views of the harbour.

At the rooftop you have a wonderful view of the harbour and the fort.

Our room, a junior suite on the third floor, had a fantastic view of the harbour and Venetian Fort.

Great location with harbour view (if you pay for it or go to the top restaurant), and near the city centre.

The hotel is great - we had a junior suite with wonderful views of the old harbour.

Hotel is situated in a great spot with a nice harbour view.

Take the KTEL bus to Chania 15 euro’s -go after lunch and go early so if the bus leaves at 2:30pm go at 2 pm and you will get a great seat- sit on the left side of the bus as you enter you will get sea and coast views.

Bedroom suite very comfortable & had beautiful view of harbour & Koulis Castle.

We definately recommend it if you can spring for a harbour view.

- The rooftop restaurant offers great food, and awesome views over the harbour.

.service was good and the ladies at the reception were very helpful with all queries ..

We also had dinner at the rooftop restaurant which has excellent views across the harbour and the sea and great food ..

We had a nice clean room with a nice view over the old harbour and the castle of Heraklion.

Brilliant location and wonderful views of the harbour.

Although when on the balcony you can hear the traffic and planes once you close the doors the room is completely sound proof.

The room looked untidy with some hairspray stains on the bathroom door and sticky surfaces.

We were there several days and could never determine why we constantly heard slamming doors.

but extremely noisy… we could hear, the cars, the planes and people next door.

The railings, the elevator, the doors and rooms.

but once evening came or when the balcony doors were shut, we heard nothing.

We had a harbor-view room, which meant a teeny balcony with a low partition from the room next door - when our neighbor also came out on his balcony, we were inches apart and had a lively conversation!

Rooms do get noisy if rowdy guests go up and down corridors due to Poor door Insulation.

There was a lot of noise from the floor above and the banging of doors through the night echoed throughout the hotel.

The only negative was the state of the bathroom which could be cleaner as far as it concerns the walls of the douche and the bathroom and the door which were dirty.

but if you only want a drink you can’t sit with a sea view, you have to sit in a lounge area looking at the building next door.

Small balcony with two chairs and a small table, possible to open the balcony glass doors for fresh aid and to dry laundry on!

Bathroom a bit small, difficult to open door and get in / out, especially with someone else inside.

However, what decreased the quality of our stay was the fact that some so called athletes, a Greek football team in particular, was also staying there.They were shouting and banging doors all night long.

Door to bathroom/toilet was placed in awkward position such that you will need to move to the shower end in order to close/open the door.

Additionally the elevator was right outside the door.

but the next day we had the same problem to open the door.

but efficiently planned) The wall-to-wall window/sliding door onto the balcony perceptually doubles the size of the room.

In order to use the toilet, we had to close the door and squeeze into the corner.

The hotel location is close to the waterfront, fortress, shopping streets, four-lion fountain, and several important museums.

Hotel is centrally located and close to everything - airport, ferry port, Main Street with restaurants/bars, archaeology museum.

The location was perfect for seeing museums, churches and for restaurants and shopping.

The hotel is excellently situated overlooking the harbour and sea and close to the   centre for shops and restaurants and a short walk to the wonderful museum.

The Lato Boutique Hotel is near these landmarks: Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Poseidon Diving Club, Ligaria Beach, Aquaworld Aquarium & Reptile Rescue Centre, Stalis Beach, Photo Tours in Crete, Castello del Molo (Koules), Kretasurf - Water Sports Crete, Minoan Peak Sanctuary, Archaeological Museum of Archanes, Agia Pelagia Beach, Star Beach, Zervas Beach, Spiagge di Creta, Livadi Beach, Cave Of Zeus, The Natural History Museum of Crete, Panagia Beach, The Whisky Bar, Winery Stilianou, Psaromoura Beach, Acqua Plus Water Park, Crete Safari, Surf in Crete, Mononaftis Beach, Lyrarakis Winery, Petra Beach, Lychnostatis Open Air Museum, Skinakas Observatory, Amarillis Stable, Makridakis Diving Crete, Cathedral of St. Minas, Gournes Beach, Winery Sinadinakis, Ancient Apollonia, Labyrinth Theme Park, Slainte Irish Bar, Skydive Crete, Historical Museum of Crete, Cretan Thematic Park, Rebekka store, ELA Quad Safari, Tarrha Glass, Starbeach Bungy Jump, Themis Beach Bar, Sailingtrips Zuiderzee, Agios Titos Church, Koronekes, Supermarket Dictamos, Quad Safari Peninsula, Roman Archaeological Remains, Morosini Fountain (Lion's Fountain), Josef, Stay Wet Diving Center, Irish House, Old Venetian Harbor of Heraklion, Cretan Tennis Academy, Idols Art, Blue Water Club RENT A BOAT, Cycling Creta, Creta delle Chanevate, I Archana, Douloufakis Winery, Fantasia Yachting, Evexia Spa, Excursion Expert Agia Pelagia, Domaine Paterianakis, Luxurious Furs, Horse Riding, DreamVillas Crete, Diver's Club Crete, Buggy Safari Motoxperience, Loggia, Seahorse Rent a Boat, HayTours, Jewel Art, Maria Sanoudaki Ceramic - Art Studio, Cretan Flavor, Kera Kardiotissa Monastery, Whisper Music Cocktail Bar, Arion Stables, Passion, MYSTIC CRETAN ROAD TRIP, Crete Boats, Scalarea Estate (Boutari Winery Crete), Cretan Family, Church and the Museum of St. Aikaterini, Hersonissos Cruises, Nemo Cafe Bar, Ekklisia Analipsi, Heraklion Diving Center, Solo  Brewery, Nail me up, Argo Rent Boats Yachts & Watersports, HOTEL KASTRO, Vasiliki Agios Markos Municipal Art Gallery, Aura Fashion Shop, The Crete Golf Club, Discovery Dive Centre, Church of Agios Mathaios Sinaites, Paliokastro, Mystic Cretan Road Trip, Hatzis Leather, Vassiliki's Votanopoleio (Botanical Store), Palm Beach Club Restaurant, Crete Yachting Academy, AQUADIVE unique scuba experience, Scubakreta, New York Beach Club Hersonissos, Museum of Cretan Ethnology, Diamantakis Winery, Star Beach, Y.O.L.O.

It's just a 15-20 minute walk to the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion which contains many artifacts dug up from the Palace of Knossos and elsewhere on the island so well worth the time.

Clean and easy walk to the bus station, the Venetian port,  the archeology museum, and anywhere else in Heraklion.

We chose the Lato because it is very near the sea wall walks, the ferry Port, as well as the Archaeological Museum, the bus station, and just about everything else,

The location is ideal for visiting central Heraklion and the Archeological Museum ( well worth a visit) whilst affording superb views over the old fort and harbour.

Walk to main square, open market, museum and Venetian fort with 4 km walkway.

In a neighborhood, with a profusion of restaurants and tavernas, the hotel is about a 10 minute walk from Heraklion's main tourist attraction, the Archaeological Museum, with its astonishing collection of Minoan artifacts.

It was also an easy walk into downtown Heraklion, so dining out or visiting museums wasn't a problem.

within walking distance to Lions Square aka Hondos Shopping Center (a Pedestrian Mall), Morosini Fountain, National Archaeological Museum.

Lato Boutique Hotel is located in a good location within walking distance of the old harbor, shops and the archeological museum.

Well situated for sight seeing, museums, shopping, eating out and bars.

The Lato Hotel location is very strategic : tourism spot (fortress, museum, etc.

Excellent location for the archeological museum and the port for an early departure.

One block from the fascinating Museum of Ancient Greek Technology.

Comfortable, clean hotel, good location with easy walk into town, museum, Koulis fort, friendly service.

Great location, very helpful and friendly staff, good breakfast, wonderful rooftop restaurant.

The roof top dinner restaurant simple and good.

The Customer Service by the staff was also exceptional in the roof top restaurant.

Didn’t stay enough time to try their roof top restaurant for dining.

We also had very good dinner one night in the hotel's rooftop restaurant, with great views.

The Herb's rooftop restaurant can withstand all comparisons with Athen's top restaurants.

We also loved its rooftop restaurant, which has a fantastic view, good service and great gourmet food.

We enjoyed a meal in the rooftop restaurant on our first night - excellent service and food, large portions and of course a lovely view.

we tried out the rooftop restaurant and the food was very well priced and delicious, the amount was enough to have two meals and waiters very friendly

Dinner at the rooftop restaurant was very good, with very nice waitstaff and a nice view.

Dinner at the rooftop restaurant was a highlight.

The roof top restaurant is great for meals and drinks with friends.

Rooftop restaurant gives a great view of the harbor.

The real star of the hotel is their roof top restaurant and the matre de, Babis.

Amazing views from the rooms and the roof top restaurant.

Dinner on the rooftop restaurant was great as were the wait staff.

However, the room itself was clean, the staff friendly, the breakfast lovely and the rooftop restaurant regarded as top expensive dining in the city.

Great location within walking distance of old town and the waterfront, wonderful breakfast buffet, pleasant staff and very clean rooms.

The staff are very kind and friendly, the hotel have a lot of choice and it is tasty and the room was clean correctly everyday.

The hotel had clean rooms as we entered and friendly staff overall.

Small, no frills hotel with clean rooms, comfy beds and spectacular views.

Perfect location, clean rooms, nice breakfast.

Lato Boutique Hotel is a very well organized hotel, very clean rooms, with hot water and all the amenities.

The room was clean and felt a bit more updated than Olive

Lovely clean room with a view of the fort in the harbour.

The room was clean and modern and with a small balcony.

Generally the room was clean, staff pleasant and helpful, location and view were good.

Clean rooms
 very close to everything in city center
Boutique hotel with personalized seevice.

The room is clean and comfortable, the breakfast very good, the service great (all employees are very polite and are always trying to serve everybody with a true concern).

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hotel has a lovely roof garden restaurant and bar.

The rooms were spotlessly clean and we had a comfortable stay.

This year, unfortunately we have had a small room in the annex of the hotel, no balcony and quite hot, at a low floor.

The room was a little small and the bathroom very small.

The two rooms were small and somewhat worn with a retro feel

Quite small rooms and the colour scheme of yellow, red and dark wood made it feel dated.

Near central bus station ; our room is really small ,cannot be 2 in the bathroom .
