We were at Asterias for a week, from the moment we walked in the staff were all friendly and accomodating. The room was stocked with essentials like water, towels (beach and bath towels both included), shower gel, hand wash gel and shampoo. We had a balcony and all rooms seemed to have one too, the views were amazing with the pool and ocean in sight. Our room was spacious equipped with UK plugs as well as a working tv with various channels including UK ones. Constantinos was the bar manager and was always there every night, he recommended lovely wine for my partner and I and was always up for a chat. The bar staff were all lovely and very professional often checking in on us and checking if we wanted more drinks. We dinned for dinner once which was average, the bbq night was lovely. Lots of meat and lots of flavours but nothing special, the chefs were very efficient making sure everything was effortlessly stocked up. The waiting staff were efficient often clearing played and cutlery. Not much of an effort was made from the waiting staff, they were all lovely but didn’t really make an effort to talk to customers, not sure if it is because of the environment, which is understandable. But we love when we can talk to our servers and engage with them. The resort has a team that runs activities all day, given that is was the end of the season, most afternoon activities like pool volleyball weren’t on. Every morning we participated in wellness sessions with the lovely team. Chloe was our first instructor, she is charismatic and a ball of positive energy. We soon met Ines, Christina and Jennifer who all had amazing energy and enthusiasm, they were all very professional and friendly often engaging with us and other residents during the day and night . There was also a young Italian man part of the team, he was fantastic, energetic often making the whole resort laugh during evening performances from the group. The group put together amazing performances of dance, singing and theatre, these were phenomenal to be a part of and will forever remember the team. Overall, our experience was lovely. A few possible changes we would have liked would probably be the water in the rooms, we had a bottle the first night but had to ask for more from bar for the rest of the trip. The housekeeping team were also amazing and don’t get enough credit to how much effort they put into those rooms. A possible improvement would be to clear out plates and glasses, we had wine glasses and plates from our first two nights which didn’t get cleared and we had to take them down with us one evening just to get rid of them. There was also annoyingly a lot of hair that didn’t belong to either my partner or I in the towels and bedding linen, a good eye for this is important as most of it is from linen companies but isn’t a good look at all. The food is quite expensive in both the a la carte restaurant and main restaurant. Given you get a buffet for dinner and lunch it’s not too bad, but bar snacks and drinks are on the mid-higher end. The spa, gym, sauna and steam room are an amazing option for all residents and the spa team are very helpful. Overall, an awesome experience and we would definitely come back again. Thank you Asterias team! Australian girl and English lad

We came in mid November 2024 for 5 nights, we are two female friends from the UK. This was end of season and we were informed hotel closes end of November. We were all inclusive. Overall this is a lovely hotel, very clean; relaxing, great food, different activities on offer, entertainment team lovely, SPA is a lovely addition. Could use a few little improvements. Positives: * Lovely concierge on arrival to take suitcases to room with us. * Staff at reception are lovely and very helpful, all speaking english. * Rooms are lovely and all very modern, we paid for a basic room: had a mini frigde, bottled water in room on arrival (not daily), UK plug sockets and USB sockets (no need to bring travel adaptors, reading lights by bed, lots of storage, powerful hairdryer supplied, 1 or 2 english channels on TV (no netflix or youtube). * Pink wave entertainment team are lovely- Kristyna and Chloe are are the best- so friendly, chatty, engaging and getting us involved in lots. * Some shows are brilliant- Costas singer wonderful, dancing show was great, Pink Wave animation team show was amazing and magic show was good. * Food is really lovely- lots of flavour and lots of choice for vegetarian and meat eaters. One of the best all inclusive food we have had. * You get a pool towel and can replace every day - no need to bring one with you. * Gorgeous location- view of the beach from the pool was amazing. * Gym is great- lots of equipment. * Table service at lunch and dinner is great: You are always asked if you would like a drink straight away, they are good at taking away dirty plates. Cutlery is very clean, plates very clean. * Table service in the evening when watching entertainment is also very good. Not so good points: * outdoor pool is freezing and not heated. However, the pool is very clean. * In the spa the pool is heated, however only a sauna, steam room was not working and no jacuzzi. * We brought drinks to our room from the bar as there are no drinks in the fridge. A few days in a row the cleaners would not take the dirty glasses from the room unless we asked. * You have to ask for a 1L bottle of water at lunch or dinner, otherwise you cannot ask for bottles of water from the bar any other time. They will fill up empty bottles for you with fresh water but only at the bar during other times in the day. * Please note: when we came the Panorama rooftop bar was not open in November. Suggestions to improve: * Have a jacuzzi and steam room. * Some of the singers in the evening were not very good (costas was very good) but the other singers not as lively. * A drag show, another different dance show or something different to singing is needed. * Could have a little night club in the evening in case you don’t want to go to ayaia napa. * Table service at breakfast: Tea, coffee and drinks should be brought to you as it was a bit of an effort to go and get your own tea/ coffee from the machine in the morning. * Needs a few water machine dispensers dotted around the hotel, to ensure you can fill up water bottles yourself and not having to go to the bar all the time. * Massage- we both had a massage in IRIS spa, was a pretty good deep tissue massage, although room needs to be warmer a little chilly in there. * TV in the room could have netflix, youtube, amazon prime and other streaming services so you can log in to them. * In November it gets chilly in the evenings, hotel should offer blankets and hot water bottles as when watching the entertainment you have to sit outside.

“Lovely stay in Asterias”

Very good hotel, well maintained, clean and organized. Full of guests even in November. Staff was very polite, speaking several languages. Food various, very well prepared and served.

Very good hotel, well maintained, clean and organized. Full of guests even in November. Staff was very polite, speaking several languages. Food various, very well prepared and served. Little bit far from the Ayia Napa center, but the local bus drives very near, so it`s easy to reach the city. Taxi in an option also, and it`s not expensive at all. Hotel is located just 20-30 meters from Macronissos beach, which is beautiful.

Good points - Lovely clean hotel & rooms. Mini fridge handy although never stocked up (our friends fridge was). Staff very friendly around the whole hotel. Plenty of choice in the restaurant, although it did get quite repetitive and I was definitely craving something spicy by the end of the holiday! It was nice having the option of inside or outside dining. The hotel is on the beach so it was lovely just to walk down a path and head into the gorgeous blue sea. Not so good points - The hotel didn’t have much around, just a bar/restaurant and a couple of supermarkets 10 mins walk away on a quiet stretch of road. The alcoholic drinks are so watered down and weak. The evening entertainment was awful. A joke for a 4* hotel! The acts are repeated - not only the same acts are on every week - some acts have been seen there every year! No tea/coffee making facilities in all rooms (our friends had a coffee machine and only had a ‘normal’ room like us) The posh double beds on the beach were €50 a day, apparantly they used to be free, no wonder most were unused. The bar between the pool & beach wasnt even AI, even though it looks like it belongs to the hotel, you just get a 10% discount. There was a seafood restaurant you had to pay for. Why would I want to pay for extra meals at the hotel when I’ve paid for all inclusive - I’ll do that when I’m home. Never saw an Italian restaurant. All in all it was a nice hotel if you want to lie around the pool on sunbeds or walk down to the beach.
