Astra Village Hotel Suites

A fabulous little hotel. Friendly helpful staff and great food. Good location, lovely views. Comfortable clean and tidy modern rooms. Gorgeous swimming pool. Spectacular sunsets! Fabulous local tavernas. We Loved the place! Highly recommended.

This was our 5th time at Astra Village and it has never failed to disappoint - in fact if anything it gets better. All staff as always are very friendly, efficient and very helpful. The rooms are very clean, great shower and comfortable beds - can’t ask for more. The pool area is clean and tidy and there are plenty of very comfortable padded loungers. We stayed half board - the food was excellent with plenty to choose from. At least four hot dishes which change every day. Would highly recommend Astra Village - already booked for 2025.

We arrived in the dark and initial thoughts were, this doesn't feel like a 4 star establishment, especially when we had to make our own way to the room - thankful to the torch on the phone. Initial thoughts on the room, somewhat disappointed compared to our usual stays - beds very firm, pillows (no pillow menu here!) hard, room spacious and bathroom clean but not inspiring or with any additional items other than soap. We went half-board, thought the price differential wasn't that much, but the evening meal, very average. In the end we went out most evenings as there are plenty of really nice local establishments, most within walking distance although we got taxis home. Breakfast, we stayed 10 nights, again, average in my view and what was very annoying was the regular lack of English breakfast tea. The staff, have to say they were friendly and very helpful and the rooms were kept well cleaned. Drink prices, reasonable although we went out a lot and there were 2 supermarkets very close by for room provisions. We had to pay local tax in cash when we arrived, no problem with that but very surprised as many others have said on departure, you are required to clear your room by 11am and many flights leave much later than that. If you want a shower, then that's 10 Euros each, otherwise get changed in the toilet. Also, one change of beach towel per week each or another 2 Euros for a change. Just felt cheap to us, not found that anywhere else in the world where we have stayed. Overall we really enjoyed the holiday, with most of the time away from the hotel, probably used the pool 3 times, it was good but not exactly exciting and for some, the deep end was nearly 6 foot - fine for me but others found it a struggle. Svoronata itself, a nice place to stay although quite quiet. Plenty of restaurants and great sunsets with more sandy beaches than the rest of the island. We are very likely to return to the island in the future, but we wouldn't be coming back to Astra village.

Rooms are lovely with comfy beds and nice bathrooms and well cleaned. Pool was hoovered every morning and beds were very comfortable except when you tried to get off them as you sunk into them. Staff very nice. We were half board from Newcastle and noticed most people were all inclusive which we didn't have the option from Newcastle. So I asked if I could upgrade to be told no. I asked the rep why I didn't have option and she said they don't do all inclusive with that hotel which she either didn't have a clue or was a blatant lie as I spoke to many people in hotel. So anyway for the not so good points. Extremely remote. No entertainment whatsoever. Even though was advertised on the jet2 site .Breakfast just ok but evening meal choice was very poor for a 4star hotel. And very slow to be replenished and just luke warm.no help was offered with cases on arrival and departure of rooms which was a struggle getting up the stairs.
