Top Megala Chorafia Hotel Reviews

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

Atlantica Kalliston Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good
"Great stay, let down by the all-inclusive. We had a pleasant stay. The resort is well maintained, the rooms were spotless, and the staff were generally friendly. Reception and the breakfast staff were polite but rarely went the extra mile. The Asian restaurant, room service and cleaning team, however, were all excellent. Our main disappointment was the all-inclusive package. It didn’t cover the full range of food, and the better options came at an extra cost. For an all-inclusive resort, having to pay more for the best dining doesn’t feel reasonable, and it would help if this were made clearer to guests before booking. Overall, a good holiday, but the food policy kept it from a five-star rating."

Atlantica Amalthia Beach Hotel – Adults only

10/10 Excellent
"This was our second visit to Atlantica Amalthia. Very nice hotel. Everywhere was very clean, our room was a good size (we had a room in the building on the beach side) with nice balcony. Nice bar and restaurant. Breakfast room was nice and good choice of food. Very well kept beach. All of the staff were first class. So friendly, polite and extremely helpful. Visited the spa and had two massages during my stay and both were very nice and relaxing. Definitely recommend. Reasonable price. Didn't use the pool as it got busy very quickly. Sunbeds were very close together and not positioned well that you could get the sun all day. Whilst I enjoy swimming in a pool, we chose to stay on the beach each day. Good location with plenty of restaurants nearby. Recommend Sebastien next door. Absolute gem of a hotel and would definitely recommend it."

8/10 Good
"The overall experience was good. The staff were very helpful and attentive. There was a bad smell in the first room we checked into, but they changed our room the next day, and the new room was much better. The housekeeping team also did a great job. The food and service at Zamana Restaurant were amazing as well. I have stayed at many five-star hotels around the world, and I would say the service here is definitely five-star. However, based on the condition and quality of the rooms, I wouldn’t consider the hotel itself to be at a five-star level."
