Apollonion Asterias Resort & Spa

Best place I was to so far, amazing, very helpful staff, special thank you to Michaela from the main restaurant:-) We had lovely week there, everything was just so perfect. Night entertainment, staff at Medero bar, food, drinks again all perfect.

We stayed here for 7 nights from 9-16th June 2024. The hotel we can not fault. Our room was spotless, we had the housekeepers in each day who changed our towels even though we hung them up :) Food was great, we were all inclusive and preferred the laid back pace of the snack bar for lunch over the busy restaurant. We were on a couple holiday so can’t comment on the kids stuff but the kids pool is right by the snack bar and it looked like great fun, as did the entertainment in the evening for them. We watched Captain Corellis Mandolin in the outdoor cinema the night before we went to visit the beach, so that was lovely. Unfortunately, we left visiting the onsite museum until the last night which coincided with a basketball match, so it was closed :( It just gives us an excuse to re visit :) Pillows were comfy, aircon was great, usb sockets next to the beds, hairdryer in the bathroom, phone in the bathroom, no iron/ironing board although I’m sure they could have provided one had we asked. The only negatives I have for this hotel are the pina coladas. This is our routine when we go away, to have a pina colada. We ordered 3 times over our week there and each time it was made it was curdled and straight in the bin, nothing to do with the heat as the bar at Xi beach at the top of the road made us amazing ones (albeit for €10 each). The second negative was, being all inclusive you get a voucher to have an evening meal in either the hotels Italian or Greek restaurant. We opted for Greek in our last night and really wish we hadn’t. It ruined our final night, the starter salad was lovely, my main was the meatballs and chips. The meatballs were burnt and very dry, my partner gave me one of his chicken skewers and the manager noticed. He insisted on making me my own skewers to which I refused as I knew I would not eat them (I don’t have a big appetite). He then appeared with a huge plate of chips and x2 skewers. I felt awful wasting the food as I really could not fit it into my stomach. We both agreed we should have eaten at the normal a la carte restaurant as the food there was much better quality. One more downside, although in no way is it the hotels fault, is Xi beach has vanished due to the storm. If your kids are beach kids and you don’t drive, I’d recommend finding another hotel. However, if like us, you’re happy to explore using public transport and excursions then you’ll love staying here. We went out 5 days of the 7 exploring and had so much fun.
