It was our 25th wedding anniversary on May 15th and we had been anticipating our five day holiday at Asterion Suites with gusto. We were not disappointed! I think it important to split this review in to different sections so that you get a true picture of what this place is like, so here goes. Staff - Without exception every member of staff was fantastic and intent on going that extra mile to make our holiday one to remember. The managers, the reception staff, the chefs, the housekeepers, the life guards, the goundspeople, the waiters; all were amazing. Each and every one was friendly and obviously very proud of their hotel. Cleanliness - Second to none. All day the cleaning staff discretely went about their business quietly in the background maintaining the grounds and the buildings to a very high standard. You could have eaten straight of the floor if so inclined. Housekeeping - The rooms were thoroughly serviced every day and occasionally when we returned to the room there was a little treat in the form of fruit, or a bottle of wine waiting for us. The room - our room was spacious with a huge superking bed which was also extremely comfortable. We had two enormous TVs which were smart and able to screen cast with our phones enabling us to watch our Netflix etc, if we so desired. The bathroom had his and her basins, a huge walk in shower and a seperate toilet. Storage was spacious and included shelves, cupboards, closets etc. The little kitchenette had a good supply of quality Esspresso and a mini bar in the fridge, all replensihed every day. The air conditioning was lovely and kept us comfortable at night. Toiletries, hair dryers, sewing kits, dressing gowns, slippers, towels etc were all provided. I probably could have arrived in the clothes I was wearing and had a perfectly comfortable holiday. There was a large balcony facing east which bathed us in the morning sun while sipping our Esspressos. The pool - comfortable loungers of varying types surround the central pool which is crystal clear and at a perfect temperature to complement the hot sun. Adjacent is the bar and drinks, food and snacks can be ordered and charged to your room using the Hotel App. Bathing towels are provided each day and I must admit to spending a huge amount of time enjoying the relaxed poolside atmosphere with my book. Unobtrusive but very pleasant background music is playing quietly, allowing for conversation, reading, snoozing or light foot tapping. The food - We were half board, so breakfast and dinner were included. The option to have lunch instead of dinner was available if required and of course a third meal was available for an additional charge. Breakfast was a relaxed affair with a sumptuous and multi facetted buffet on offer. We generally started with beautifully prepared fruit and thick creamy Greek yogurt, followed by cheeses, breads, meats, all accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice, ice cold water and coffee. Once or twice we partook of the
