Atlantica Bay

Overall the hotel is lovely and clean, and every single staff member we dealt with was friendly and welcoming. As other reviews have said, the hotel is definitely suited to an older crowd with the entertainment and overall atmosphere. We are in our late 20s but wanted a relaxing holiday so this is what we were expecting anyway. However, during our week long stay, a number of groups of younger people arrived and unfortunately caused quite a nuisance with being noisy and disruptive, they were loud in the communal areas, blasting music from their balconies overlooking the pool, and banging/shouting in the corridors late into the night. From speaking to other guests who have been staying at the hotel for years, this is not the norm, and we were advised by the TUI rep that it only happened because of a local musical festival that weekend. The experience with these guests was the only real downside to the holiday, and I think it’s quite disappointing that the hotel allowed these guests to clearly disrupt the otherwise quiet environment. The all-inclusive drinks were decent and they have other cocktails (espresso martinis, pornstar martinis, Long Island iced tea etc) that you can buy at a discounted rate of €6 if you are all inclusive. The food was nice and pretty varied, each dish was labelled with allergens although I would say take this with a pinch of salt - I am lactose intolerant so avoid milk, and I spotted a few dishes that clearly contained milk but weren’t labelled as such e.g. pizza. We asked if it was possible for the chefs to make a lactose free dessert for me, as there was nothing available on the buffet, and they made me my own dessert every night which was much appreciated. I had the Cretan full body massage in the spa, I didn’t catch the masseuse’s name but he was very professional and the massage itself was great. We got a discount code from the TUI rep which gives you 25% off if booked before 12pm I believe. I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday (hopefully the situation we experienced was a one off!)

Atlantica Bay Hotel is the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We arrived late after a delayed flight, there was Champagne and sandwiches waiting for us. A nice warm welcome, easy check in. Our bedroom was spacious, spotlessly clean, huge comfortable bed. Kettle,tea,coffee, all provided, a free safe, gowns and slippers and good quality toiletries. Also, British type electric sockets. Food was fabulous, varied, delicious, huge daily choice, with efficient table service. The staff are all happy to look after you, and the bar service is wonderful. The evening entertainment was first class, also a special mention for Dan in the daytime. In all, we found this hotel to be faultless and we look forward to our fourth visit in the future.

Don't bother going anytime outside of the summer months, all we were told is "it's out of season" every 5 minutes. Cats everywhere, even if you like cats they are all over the outside dining area - so unhygenic. Our power went it the room several times. The air con doesnt stay on if the balcony doors are not perfectly aligned (ridiculous). Staff couldnt be bothered with us. Would never stay here again.

Just returned from two weeks at this lovely hotel (12/4-26/4/26). It was only half full which was sad because of the USA/Israel War. Plane to Cyprus was half empty too, the staff said the government is helping out with their wages. PROS: British 3 pin plugs are what you use here so no need to pack a travel plug! This hotel is very clean, the rooms are spacious and there are two swimming pools, one outside which was freezing, and a covered one which was slightly warmer, both had lifeguards. Plenty of sunbeds available, no mad rush as there was no one to beat you to them! Staff were all exceptional from the cleaners, restaurant staff and the pool and bar staff, everyone friendly and cheerful. Most notably Sabina in the bar, which rubbed off on the other bar staff too includingMr Valentino and Lenka. The restaurant was well run and the food was superb, the desserts were extraordinary compared to other hotels we have been to, so fresh and well made with a great variety of available every lunch and dinner time. The staff here too need recognition for their hard work especially Vendula (Vendy)who was new to it all but had such a lovely smile and way about her, the bosses Yiannis and Dean seemed to be great role models for her. There were freshly cooked food stations at break, lunch and dinner which was nice. The pool bar opens at 10am and music is played but not too loudly. Plenty of places to sunbathe, it could be a bit windy so we sought shelter by the edges where the glass surroundings were. The waiters by the pool were very efficient, calling by lots to take drinks orders and clear away empty cups. Suresh, Rana and Sunil stand out as hard working guys, always had a smile and chat with you. Entertainment was most nights, very enjoyable. Lots of things to do during the day with Dan, entertainments guy. CONS: No toilets on the same level as bar which meant a trip down the stairs or in the lift each time you needed to use them. Air con was not available until May, which one of our party really could have done with cool air as the sun warmed up the room during the day despite closing curtains and leaving balcony doors open all day. Weather initially was hit and miss but by the time we left it was getting very warm and sunny. All in all this would be a hotel we would return to because the staff were so lovely and the hotel very pleasant. There is an extra part across the road called Sands that is linked to the hotel, but that wasn’t opening until May so we never got to experience that. Go try this hotel, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Exceptional food & wide range of all inclusive drink. Incredibly friendly ,helpful staff . Stylish, modern, clean interiors. Quality entertainment probably best suited to older generation & facilities . Would have appreciated more exercise classes . No air con and beach bar closed as low season.
