Pros +
- Great pool, gym, beach, staff
- The put a lot of love and effort to maintain the property and it had all what we need. Pool, good sunbeds and even beds on the water. The staff is extremely nice.
- The hotel and room design is very beautiful and aesthetic, breakfast was delicious and fresh, and the overall atmosphere was super chill. The hospitality was truly exceptional – George, the manager, and the entire staff were incredibly warm, welcoming and caring. They did everything to make sure we had the most perfect vacation.Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be happy to return ?
Cons -
- Location 30 mins walk to any restaurants, bus and taxi always required. Room basic for a suite
- As the weather was below average for the time of year, the pools were too cold and the sea too choppy to reasonably enjoy, we found ourselves bored on occasions. Perhaps some board games in the spacious reception area would be a good idea.We visited Chania a couple of times on the bus, but the location is a little bit out of the way. It is a great location if you wish to do very little. Had the weather been warmer and the sea not as rough, our perspective might have changed.
- While the massages were undoubtedly very good, and neither my family members nor I had any complaints about the quality of the service, they were still far too expensive for what was offered. Unfortunately, I don’t believe the experience justified the high prices at the facility. Additionally, as pointed out in other reviews, the staff lacked authenticity. Each morning, it took around 10 minutes and several reminders to receive my coffee, which was frustrating and not up to the standard one would expect. This is definitely an area where the hotel could improve.On a positive note, I appreciate the reception team for taking my feedback seriously and offering their apologies, which was a thoughtful gesture. However, despite this, I still feel that the overall cost for a week’s stay was excessive and didn’t deliver value for the money spent.

Exceptionally peaceful. Friendly and attentive staff.Spotlessly clean hotel, rooms and pool area. Bed was large and very comfortable. Very good food - selection and quality. The cocktails were excellent.Easy access to the long, sandy beach.

The property is situated in a peaceful, remote area, which provided the perfect escape for my family and me. The overall experience was great—the room was spotless and well-maintained, and the facilities were excellent.

The service was unbelievable, we read before our stay about the service but it was above what we expected. The stuff was so welcoming, taking care of anything we might need. If you looking for a great hotel to relax and spend few days at the pool/beach this is definitely your place
Excellent place for a quiet and relaxing vacation. The hotel has all the necessary infrastructure. Good cleaning of rooms, clean beach. But especially service and food - above all praise! The food is very tasty and varied. The restaurant manager Goran is my favorite. Very careful and kind attitude, personalized attention - he always finds time especially for you. Goran, Asterion, thank you for a great week!
Not the best location in terms of connection to the nearest villages. For some people this may be a plus if they want to be completely off the radar
Small scale resort, perfect for adults holiday. The swimming pool area and access to the beach are fantastic. Great breakfast buffet.
incredible service Quiet location great food and athmosphere
The staff In reception and bar/restaurant were excellent. Room was big. Breakfast had everything you need.
I think hotels social media and pictures didn’t match the reality so we were a littlebit dissapointed. Hotel didn’t feel luxurious Boutique hotel but rather well maintanated 4 Star hotel. For the price we paid we were expecting more luxurious experience. Not even a water bottle replenished daily In the room.I have to give bad comment about massage place In the hotel. Eventhough my massage was OK an done by friendly younger lady, the older lady (manager?) charged me much more than it was written In online booking page. On the top of that, after massage they made me sign something and only after that I realized that older lady put five stars review on their system and then just asked me to sign that good review. I was shocked. I didnt complain on the site because i didnt want to start an argument and ruin my holiday. I want to highlight that the younger girl was extremely nice and hospitable.We used gym quite a bit but my husband said that the gym had too little weights.Also hotel didnt have nice surroundings and you have to have a car to go somewhere nice. We had partial sea view but you hardly could see anything.All In all for that price I wouldnt stay again.
The room was very clean and a great size. We arrived late so the reception made sure we had food and they brought us a bottle of Champaign which was amazing.
The restaurant - it seems that there is not someone overlooking the overall service and at times it is pretty unprofessional. They are loud, laughing and calling each other while clients are next to them eating which is pretty disturbing. Noise - They start cleaning pretty early but the rooms are not very sound proof so you can hear their carts going back and forth from early in the morning, calling each other etc. if you want to sleep in, this would not be the place. Bar - The drinks are not good especially in comparison to the prices.
We visited for just 3 days as a birthday treat, but the resort was so relaxing that it felt like a much longer stay. The beach was beautiful, and the overall setup at Asterion made everything incredibly easy. The staff were attentive and helpful, providing consistently exceptional customer service.
Beautiful and very clean
Bed too high
The location, the beach, the staff
The rooms were not that cozy. They were comfortable but they lacked charm
A marvellous vacation.We are an italian couple, we have celebrated our 30 years wedding anniversary at Asterion Suite and SPA.We have constantly been taken care by an excellent and sensitive personnel, especially, Dimitra and Christos at Reception, Roula (speedy gonzales), George, Chris and Antonis at swimming pool Bar, Manolis (superman) at Restaurant, Katerina at Breakfast Section and Michalis the lifeguard.Everything was great, rooms, swimming pool, food, some entertainment music - piano and violin - (performed on Tuesday and Wednesday).We highly recommend this Hotel ???
Tutto OK
Everything was splendid! First class place with first class staff! Everybody make you feel like guest - not like customer. Place was very (extremely) clean, everywhere smells like apple garden . Food was very nice too. George-opeations manager, is the best host we have ever had. If you have chosen to visit Crete- this is the place you will fill home(even better)! Thank you all guys! And Eli too :)
Calm, excellent area around the hotel lets your mind relax from the noise of the outside world. The staff is incredibly happy to help with any request. We've spent our 4th anniversary here and enjoyed every moment - from great coffee and wide selection of fresh food at the buffet, to Greek musicians in the evening playing calm, local music. You can walk around in flip flops or barefoot and enjoy the warm weather climate and the tranquility surrounding the property. Perfect escape (also for young adults just like us) for those who aren't into late partying and prefer early, calm mornings with calming sounds of the waves in the background. What's more, the owner of the hotel was there during our stay and he individually made sure with every guest in the morning that everything was fine during their stay. That's the extra touch that we appreciated much and never encountered at any other 5star hotel. The staff is one big family and you can sense that in the air. We've had an excellent stay. Highly recommend to couples in need of a calm and relaxing time off for themselves
Lovely hotel with amazing rooms, lovely pool and the a la carte restaurant had a great menu.The beach and the hotel sun beds just a few meters across the promenade.
Only that it was a little isolated but you can walk along the promenade in 19 minutes you get to Maleme or take a bus or taxi to Chania or Platanias.
The hotel and rooms are absolutely beautiful, the staff were helpful and incredibly friendly. We had an amazing time. Everything from check in to check out was perfect and I could not fault Asterion at all! The pool area in particular and the ability to order drinks to sunbeds was just amazing, the food was always delicious from both restaurants and the service was impeccable throughout. The stay exceeded all our expectations! We definitely cannot wait to come back, you would be hard pressed to find a better all inclusive hotel. Thank you!
The hospitality of the hotel staff was very warm and helpful. It feels they did a lot to make our stay pleasant, both at the hotel and also in crete.
not enough light for reading in the bed.
