Astir Odysseus Kos Resort & Spa

I took my mom out on a lovely summer holiday to Astir and we’d love to be back someday! The rooms were lovely, and so were the pools, the sea water was warm which is quite a change for us. The lunch staff knew our order by heart, and everyone we spoke to provided excellent service, from reception, to the bar staff and buffet waiters, everyone was exceptionally welcoming. The food was pretty good, there’s options for everyone. We did expect there to be more fish on a regular basis, but when they did it was amazing. You’re catered for all meals if you have the all inclusive package which I’d recommend. We were pleasantly surprised with the entertainment, which we didn’t know we’d encounter! The entertainment team kept us going all day, from the water gymnastics class all the way to their shows after dinner, what a treat! They were all super lovely and made the time to speak to everyone they walked past throughout the day. The only not so positive element was the amount of children in general. I purposefully picked a hotel that didn’t seem to cater to babies and children that much but that didn’t seem to stop it being packed with families with young kids, specially around the pool entrances.

The staff is amazing. Very friendly and quick to help. Beautiful resort and very well laid out. Several families were there during our visit, but you would never know. They have several separate pool areas for families. Food was very good. Fresh.

Astir Odysseus My family and I spent one night at the Astir Odysseus. There were some positives about the hotel - the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the pools were nice and clean. It has a nice atmosphere for a family vacation. Unfortunately we were unable to use the beach as it was closed due to high winds. Our main disappointment with the hotel was the food. We had access to the dinner and breakfast buffets. The dinner was awful. Not one dish was remotely impressive, and we all left with tummy aches. I would not recommend eating dinner at the hotel. The breakfast was not too bad, as it is hard to go wrong with a breakfast buffet. Another problem with the hotel was the way that we were rushed to check out. We received constant bangs on our door in an attempt to get us to leave, even though we were completely on time. We had the right to take our time to leave, as we were not late to checkout. We were all frantically packing and had no time to properly gather our things. As a result, my wifeleft her shirt in the room. When we later called the hotel to ask about the shirt, they said they would call back and let her know, but we never received a call. This was disappointing, and part of the reason why we most likely won’t be returning to the Astir Odysseus.
