Atlantica Princess

We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. What really makes it special is the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff are genuinely lovely and welcoming throughout every area of the hotel, and the service we received was excellent. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. Even the resident dog in reception adds to the character and charm of the place! 🐶❤️ If you’re looking for a hotel where you can relax, feel comfortable and genuinely feel at home, this is definitely one to consider. I think it would suit families, couples of all ages and groups looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. 🏨 The hotel & atmosphere The hotel is quite dated in places, so if you’re looking for something ultra-modern and chic, this probably isn’t the hotel for you. However, it is exceptionally clean, and personally I think the welcoming atmosphere more than makes up for the lack of modern styling. There’s a lovely, relaxed feel throughout the hotel, and it never felt pretentious or overly formal. 👏 The staff The staff are honestly one of the biggest highlights. Everyone we came across — reception, restaurant staff, bar staff and housekeeping — was friendly, helpful and attentive. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and we were consistently made to feel welcome. It’s clear that the staff work incredibly hard, particularly when the hotel is busy, and their efforts really do make a difference to the overall experience. 🍽️ Food & drinks Overall, the food was good, with a decent variety of options. Breakfast was particularly good, while lunch was a little less impressive. There is, however, the poolside snack bar, which gives you another option during the day. Dinner was enjoyable, with a good choice of dishes. The one disappointment for us was the Aegean Breeze restaurant. We had the mixed grill, which unfortunately was very disappointing, and it’s probably not something we would choose again. The location of the restaurant is also quite close to the entertainment area, which means it doesn’t really have the intimate atmosphere you might expect from a separate restaurant. The drinks were fairly standard for an all-inclusive hotel and were what we would expect. 🎤 Entertainment We didn’t watch much of the entertainment, so I can’t give a particularly detailed opinion. From what we did see, it appeared to be more focused towards children and families rather than adults. Aqua aerobics is fab!! 🏊‍♀️ Pools The pools were fantastic. The children’s pool area in particular is brilliant and I would highly recommend this hotel to families with young children. There is plenty to keep them entertained, and the pool facilities are a real highlight. 💡 A few suggestions Although we really enjoyed our stay, I do think there are a few relatively simple improvements that could make the hotel even better: 1. Poolside drinks stations The drinks stations around the pool are a great idea. I think adding a liquid waste bin, along with clearly separated food waste, recycling and general rubbish bins — preferably with lids — would make them even better. This would help keep the area cleaner and reduce flies, while also making things easier for the hardworking staff when the hotel is busy. 2. More water refill stations There are already a couple around the pool, which is great. Adding one near reception and perhaps on each floor would be really useful, particularly for guests wanting to refill bottles throughout the day. 3. More choice in the grab-and-go fridge The grab-and-go fridge in the snack bar is a brilliant idea. I think it could be improved further with a wider selection of sandwiches, children’s yoghurts and perhaps smoothies. 4. Self-service drinks dispensers During the busier summer months, I imagine the queues at the bar can become quite long. Additional self-service drinks dispensers, similar to the iced tea dispenser already available in reception, could help enormously. Fruit juices and fizzy drinks would be ideal. 5. More announcements for activities I think activities could attract even more guests if they were promoted around the pool shortly before they start. Having someone walk around the pool approximately 10 minutes beforehand to let guests know what is about to begin could make a big difference. 6. Self-service taxi booking A self-service taxi booking screen could also be useful. As taxis are already booked through a booking system, giving guests the option to arrange their own taxi could help reduce pressure on reception, particularly at busy times. 7. Luggage store. Should be lockable and more secure. Currently anyone can go in and it is not visible from reception staff. ❤️ Overall We genuinely loved our stay. This hotel may not be the most modern or luxurious, but what it does have is something that can be much harder to achieve — a genuinely warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are fantastic, the pools are great, the hotel is exceptionally clean and there is a lovely feeling of being made to feel at home. With a few relatively small improvements, I think this hotel could be even better. We would happily return and would definitely recommend it — especially to families, couples and anyone looking for a relaxed hotel with fantastic staff and a real home-from-home feel. ❤️

The receptionist was very kind and helpful the food was not bad the room service also one day the didn’t remove the emty bottle under the bed and do not tide the bed we asked them why they told us that when you will be checked out next day the wont do it otherwise the tide our parents room the waitress were very kind and hard working we see them all day the pool was clean and perfect the internet was bad at the rooms and something else we were all inclusive and if we want popcorn or slash some drinks they charge us for it and the old chef on the egg station i asked him to cook me an scrambled egg for my daughter because she liked it dry he refuse and told there is at the buffet either way everything was good we enjoyed it thanks 🙏🏻

We travelled as a family of seven, all adults aged between 18 and 63, and stayed at the Atlantica Princess Hotel in Ialyssos. From the moment we arrived, we found the hotel very welcoming and accommodating. Our rooms were generously sized, spotlessly clean and had a lovely view across the Aegean Sea towards Turkey. All of the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Two members of staff deserve a special mention. Oyla, who looked after our table each evening, had all the qualities you could wish for. She was warm, friendly and had a fantastic personality that really made us feel welcome. Christina, one of the barmaids, was equally lovely and always friendly and accommodating. The food was very enjoyable, with a good variety of choices and different themed evenings. Gluten-free options could also be catered for, although these needed to be requested a day in advance. We made good use of the well-equipped gym and also enjoyed a great range of spa treatments. The hotel shop was well stocked too, with a wide selection covering most holiday essentials. There was plenty to do both at the hotel and further afield. We explored Rhodes Old Town, enjoyed a day trip to Turkey, and spent a day scuba diving. In between our excursions, we made the most of the pool and beach. There was plenty of fun to be had on the water, including being towed behind a speedboat on a huge inflatable ring. Banana boats, paragliding and jet-ski hire were also available. Overall, we had a very enjoyable holiday and would have no hesitation in recommending the Atlantica Princess Hotel to others. The friendly staff, comfortable rooms, good food and wide range of activities made it a memorable family break.

We've just returned from another fabulous 10 day holiday after going for the first time last year. It was lovely to be recognised by the staff again. This year I had a massage from Katerina. So relaxing, well worth it. As we come late August the sunbeds are fine. We're not bothered about being at the front so we got the same beds everyday about 10 past 8 then went straight in the pool! Food is amazing and plenty of choice. We ate at the Al a carte once. The mains were amazing but weren't to fussed on the starters but that's all on us. The entertainment was good again. My son took part in the karaoke singing chicken banana! Loved the bingo and the music quiz especially. My son joined in the mini disco but only 2 songs that he likes. We take our own insulated cups to fill with water, ice tea for my son, throughout the day. I crocheted my own coasters this year as soak up better than the paper ones but that's just me. Definitely caused some amusement. Big shout to Nico, Dimitrius and Natasha on the bar (forgot the other guys name!). Highly recommend and just booked again for next year!

We have just returned home after a week’s stay in high season. Really had a lovely time. Food has been great mostly, plenty of choice, lovely salads, fresh pizza, pasta, they have theme nights such as Greek night, Italian night etc. Drinks were okay, standard all inclusive drinks, white wine was nice. Room was lovely, we had a sea view and it was spacious with a double bed and a single bed, lots of storage, bathroom was a nice size and it was spotless, cleaned most days with change of towels, good air con and mini fridge with coffee/tea making facilities, view from room was amazing . There was no subbed wars, I have seen other reviews to say it has that and it worried me a little, but 100% there were sun beds still available at 10am, the ones directly at the edge of the pool do get reserved at 8am but if you’re not bothered about being at the edge of the pool then there is no rush; and you can not reserve beds before 8am. Entertainment was good too, although the mini disco drags on late until 9.30 we would have loved the entertainment to start earlier. The staff work very hard, and the hotel is clean. Beach is a stone throw away and its pebble beach so take sea shoes; but it’s lovely. I would recommend this hotel and have really enjoyed our stay. 😊
