Astir Odysseus Resort & Spa

Bjoern Blaha

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this five-star gem, and I can confidently say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable – warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the hotel pool and the beach access. The pool was pristine with plenty of comfortable loungers to relax on. Just steps away was the hotel’s private beach, with crystal-clear waters (and a few rocks) - truly a slice of paradise. The dining experience was equally exceptional. The main restaurant offered a mouthwatering selection of gourmet dishes, all beautifully presented and rich with flavor. Each meal felt like a culinary adventure, with local and international delicacies that were a treat to the senses. Breakfast was an absolute feast. The buffet was incredible, offering everything from fresh pastries and tropical fruits to made-to-order omelets and coffee specialties. The variety and quality were outstanding, catering to every palate and dietary preference. In every aspect, this hotel embodies luxury and relaxation. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, enjoying world-class cuisine, or taking in the breathtaking beach views, it’s an unforgettable experience. I can’t wait to return!

This is an amazing hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful; staff in the restaurants remembered the drinks order and room number each evening. Food was top quality and slightly different each evening. No problems with sunbeds at any time during the day, and the “drinks delivered to sunbed” app was great. Room was spotless and cleaned daily. This is a huge complex, but the staff (especially those delivering drinks to the pool all day) were amazing. There is the largest pool I think I’ve ever seen, and it never felt crowded. Great variety of entertainment too. Bus stop is outside the hotel, and they running fairly frequently to Kos Town. I would definitely stay here again.

A stunning hotel with a high level of service and a beautifully designed area. There are large pools as well as many smaller ones throughout the property. Direct access to the sea makes it even more special. The spacious grounds are decorated with breathtaking landscape design. The staff is incredibly attentive, always smiling, and they go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. The restaurants are amazing, offering a varied and delicious menu. There is also entertainment for both adults and children. An oasis on the island of Kos.

This was a very last-minute booking due to finding out, on arrival to Kos, that our intended resort booking had gone bust. We were greeted by very kind and attentive staff. The rooms are well laid-out and comfortable and are thoroughly cleaned and re-stocked every day. The pools are excellent and never felt over- crowded and the pool-side drinks service was a wonderful touch. Pools were just a shade too deep at 1.3m for our two kids (aged 6 and 8) but it didn’t hinder their enjoyment. The real standout of this resort though was the food. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were all exceptional. We could not have asked for a wider range of well-prepared dishes to try. Even fussy kids were delighted.

I've been dreaming of a relaxing summer holiday for a while now and decided to take a chance with Astir, and wow, what a great choice! The rooms were lovely, and so were the pools, the sea water was so warm which is quite a change for us vs the freezing waters of the Portuguese coast. The lunch staff knew our order by heart 2 days in, 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, you can order drinks and get them delivered from all sun beds, what a treat! We were pleasantly surprised with the entertainment, which we didn’t know we’d encounter! Do make sure you go to the daily night time shows over at the theatre for some great performances. The entertainment team also kept us going all day, from the water gymnastics class all the way to their shows after dinner. They were all super lovely and made the time to speak to everyone they walked past throughout the day. The only less positive element was that I purposefully picked a hotel that didn’t seem to cater to babies and children that much but there were still a good number of young families present who seemed to huddle around the pool entrances instead of using the kids pool. So using the nice steps to get in the pool was at times awkward, but other than that it was a very pleasant and quiet experience during the day.
