Atlantica Nissaki Beach - Adults Only

“3.5 out of 5 - a mixed bag but good on the whole”

We stayed at Atlantica for 10 nights June 22-July 02 - I’d ideally have rated it overall 3.5/5 We stayed on the 5th floor, here is an honest review of our stay broken down by sections.

We stayed at Atlantica for 10 nights June 22-July 02 - I’d ideally have rated it overall 3.5/5 We stayed on the 5th floor, here is an honest review of our stay broken down by sections. Arrival and Welcome 4/10 Mediocre - we arrived at approx 1230 so was eager to check in asap and get to the pool. Check in was brief with no information given. Our room wasn’t ready (fair enough it was 2.5 hours before check in) but we weren’t given any info on where to change into pool stuff or where we could leave our suitcases. Our bags weren’t taken to our room, when the room was ready (they rang me to tell me it was ready approx 1330) and we weren’t even told how to get to our room. Did like the welcome drink but had to go and find a TUI rep to get most the info! The TUI reps were incredibly welcoming and informative though but just annoying you had to go looking for the info. There was complimentary showers and changing rooms on level 3 but we didn’t know this until our last day! Hotel in general 7/10 Hotel is a bit of a concrete box on appearance but outlook is stunning and reception/lobby bar very nice. Hotel is clean. However there are not enough lifts / big enough lifts, they take 3-4 people at a time - you do waste half your holiday waiting for the lift so if you have mobility issues, maybe look elsewhere or expect to wait a lot for lifts! During a sudden storm, the queues to leave the pool area and go upstairs to rooms/bar were insane! Normal pool is extremely overcrowded. Quiet pool is nice but floor could use a good clean Room 7/10 Clean and functional, with balcony and safe. air con isn’t cold enough and can’t seem to adjust it Also the most annoying sound of dragging furniture from around 7am every morning (I was on level 5 and it did my head in every morning)!! Bed was 2 singles pushed together and not secured Bathroom was fine Sea view was wonderful Food 6/10 Food on the whole is alright at the buffet, some days we’re better than others. My husband is gluten and dairy free and it was a bit of a struggle to find food he could eat with little option of asking for info and getting a satisfactory and reassuring reply. Dietary signage is there but not on everything and there could be more options that are GF/DF in general. You get 2 visits as part of your stay at the restaurants; the Italian was lovely with lovely staff - lots of GF/DF options and the staff understood the importance - we did have a small hiccup with his food but they were quick to rectify it and gave us a complimentary bottle of wine (that you usually have to pay extra for) to take away with us to make up for it, the Mediterranean was pretty poor with unfriendly staff and not a nice welcome. Restaurant is lovely with beautiful views but the food was quite poor. The next day my husband was quite unwell which we can only guess was down to a slip up with his dietary needs but can’t be sure Drinks 7/10 Cocktail list is good but depends on which bar staff you get, as to what it will taste like, little consistency. Wine is a bit basic and could be better! Not enough staff! Entertainment 7/10 Performances every night - some better than others. They also have additional things like silent discos, white parties, wine tasting, cocktail making but we didn’t partake in these Daytime and evening activities, atmosphere, and suitability for different guests 7/10 Shuttle to the old town is nice although lack of info on that and the driver didn’t say a word. A TUI rep to tell you key things (pick up time, that you’re getting on the right bus etc) would be a nice touch! Amenities: Pools, gym, spa, beach access, and anything extra. Library/tv room was a massive bonus, so many books to take, read and return. Beach is a nice but pebbly - take beach shoes A little shop onsite selling some jewellery, some snacks, smokes etc Gym was well equipped, didn’t use the spa This hotel isn’t close to anything The hotel seems to miss a few easy things; Check in: have a map on the desk where you can show where key things are (pools, changing rooms etc) Check out: someone to direct you to your transfer The hotel did seem to get busier as we got further into the 10 days which meant a lack of evening tables, not enough bar staff, not enough pool beds. I’m unsure whether it was at capacity but i wouldn’t like to be there if any busier! The staff, on the whole, were all lovely. The hotel was nice but just missing a few bits I think are needed and would have enjoyed. We love a bottle of wine in the evening, table service with some nuts and that just didn’t exist at this hotel. I’m not sure I’d return, but it was lovely and a nice experience, it just missed a few aspects I enjoy from a hotel

“Ionic sea relaxation”

Nissaki Beach looks attractive, despite the stroke of pebbles, that people call here beach. What a pity, the existing elevators aren't up to the amount of guests, also because they are used for Hotel services (laundry, supply of mini-bars etc). We did not see 1 life guard along the sea, nor the poo… Mais

Nissaki Beach looks attractive, despite the stroke of pebbles, that people call here beach. What a pity, the existing elevators aren't up to the amount of guests, also because they are used for Hotel services (laundry, supply of mini-bars etc). We did not see 1 life guard along the sea, nor the pools. But the restaurant is excellent. And in the spacious dining rooms, Vasilika, keeps order with elegance + efficiency, whilst the youth - Lily Vanetsyan e.g. -shows talent in the reception.

“Lovely hotel, don’t drink the tap water or have ice!”

The hotel is lovely, food is good, but don’t drink the water from the water machines, have ice in your drinks or pumped coke etc if you have a sensitive stomach. The rep told us that someone had brought neurosis Into the hotel (what a load of crap) when we were ill for two days, as soon as we stop… Mais

The rep told us that someone had brought neurosis Into the hotel (what a load of crap) when we were ill for two days, as soon as we stopped drinking the water and having ice etc we were fine. Other than that, it’s a lovely place.

Stayed at this hotel as a couple with friends for 10 nights at end of June 26, Things started off well once arrived, welcome glass of fizz at check in and luggage taken up to room. Stayed on the 5th floor with a sea view, room wasnt overly spacious but modern with all you would require from a 4 star hotel, large balcony, air con was good not overly loud with digital controls to work lighting / maid service etc, Rooms were cleaned on a daily basis. Comfortable beds,etc Hotel really needs to adopt the wrist band entry system as hotel room cards are dated now. As well as the sun lounger booking app that other TUI hotels currently use this is a game changer,which leads me on to the only really winge about the rooms -------- The doors of each room have very strong automatic closers on them clearly for safety reasons, but what happens is anytime from 0630 - 0730 of every morning there is a constant banging of everyones doors as they head down to the pool to reserve a lounger first and again when they return back 10 minutes later. so if your a light sleeper or fancy a lay in forget it. The food for me was very hit and miss with breakfast serving virtually everything you could think of to dinner with really random matches to chose from, sometimes you would walk around for as good 5 -6 minutes deciding is there even anything that goes together. Staff were limited most of the time but was always served with a smile. There are 2 pools a main and quiet one we never used the quiet one, main is fine for cooling off and cleaned on a daily basis, although the fact that you can only change your pool towels every 3rd day i found a bit strange for a 4 star hotel which is something that is probably in the small print somewhere!! There are a few steps to reach the pool area so be prepared, There also only two small lifts from the pool area to the lobby which are really slow other than that its 10 flights of stairs to the lunch / dinner hall. The hotel itself is in a very remote part and there is nothing to do locally, so are confined to the hotel 24/7, there is a free shuttle bus into Corfu town but its 45/60 mins each way Beach is pebble / rock there are a nice couple of family run tavernas if you fancy a change at the end of the beach an a few a little further along which are good. All in all we didnt research the place well enough and ultimatly we wont be returning The rush for sun loungers at silly oclock is something that in this day and age shouldnt be happening.

“Not going back😟!”

We went for my birthday, wish we hadn’t bothered! The setting is very scenic and attractive but we were very disappointed with the food.

We went for my birthday, wish we hadn’t bothered! The setting is very scenic and attractive but we were very disappointed with the food. It was not up to standard, everything was lukewarm or cold and no microwave to heat it up. The room was comfortable with beautiful views but you can’t survive on views if the food is not good. The entertainment at night was very average with just a couple of vocalists most nights. The location was very isolated, although there was a free shuttle bus to Corfu town daily. We couldn’t go in the sea because of all the stones and rocks. Had £10 taken from my purse in my handbag in the bedroom. Hotel manager said she would investigate but no outcome, I should have put my purse in the safe but you don’t expect to get robbed in a TUI blue hotel! Wasn’t my best birthday, not even a bottle of champagne in the room!
