Asterion Suites & Spa - by Louis Hotels

A 5* Hotel Resort that definitely lives up to its rating. The customer service is outstanding across all aspects of the hotel. We wanted a relaxing stay and this did not disappoint. The restaurant is first class with creative dishes every day. If you are looking for a boutique 5* Hotel for a relaxing stay then you need look no further. We hope to return soon.

My best friend and I booked this trip for a girls getaway before she has her baby. We wanted somewhere modern, clean, accommodating with good service. We were not disappointed at all! Firstly, we would like to mention, the staff (all of them) go above and beyond, all so happy and friendly and polite and nothing is ever too much hassle. Some special shoutouts needed - Chris - amazing from the minute he checked us in. He recommended trips & restaurants, got us a hire car, and constantly checked in! Maria & Manolis & Goran in the restaurant - always so friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble! Dionysus - amazing bar staff, so fast and efficient, and gave us great local info on the island. George - the most accommodating concierge, he couldn’t help us enough and always with a smile. The hotel is lovely and modern, extremely clean, and perfect for that beautiful aesthetic, if you love neutrals, flowers, and plants, this is right up your street. Breakfast selection was good, and very fresh. From fruit and pastries, to eggs and bacon, there is something for everyone. We have to be honest, lunch in the hotel is mediocre, but still edible and a varied selection, just the quality was more 3-4 star. There are robes and slippers in the room, tooth brushes, and enough simple toiletries to get by if you want to pack light. We do wish maybe the cleaners topped up the cotton wool & earbuds but that is a minor detail. USB points in the room, and enough space, could do with a dressing area away from the sink though with a mirror and plug point. There was a mirror inside the wardrobe but sometimes it’s nice to sit and do your hair/makeup. The hotel isn’t really near much, so worth nothing if you want to go out and do stuff (for us it was mainly dinner), it’s very hard to get around unless you hire a car. We did and we are glad we did so, but if it was one of our usual boozy trips (luckily it wasn’t), we would have been a little disappointed with how far most things are! But, if you want to relax and do nothing it’s perfect! We had a garden room, but nothing out there, a couple of sun loungers would have been perfect. The girls who work in the spa seemed lovely, but the spa prices were ridiculous - like €120+ for not very much time. If these were a little more affordable, we would have used this service! Overall a wonderful trip, hotel staff were amazing and we would definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful holiday in Crete – this time on the western side of the island, as we really wanted to visit the Samaria Gorge and Elafonissi Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and the entire complex – small, but full of charm! A special mention goes to the friendly and attentive team, and a big thank you to Goran, who welcomed us warmly every evening and provided excellent service. The atmosphere during dinner was always relaxed and often very entertaining – thank you for that! The food was varied and of very good quality. Although I eat everything, I did notice that the vegan options could use some small improvements – both in terms of variety and labeling, as the signs were unfortunately not always accurate. There was a great selection at the salad bar (quinoa, lentils, a variety of vegetables, etc.), but the warm/main dishes could perhaps offer more protein-rich options besides potatoes and vegetables – such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, legumes, or similar. The beach area and the immediate surroundings could be maintained and presented a bit more attractively. Nevertheless, we’d like to thank the entire team for a relaxing holiday and many beautiful memories. Warm regards from Luxembourg!

Asterion is a perfect place to stay for a relaxing holiday. My friend and I stayed at one of the Planet rooms, and they were spacious & just what we needed. The bed was very comfortable with a firm mattress (the perfect firmness), and the room had everything that you needed. The hotel has a lovely and nice atmosphere, and it had a perfect location if you don’t want to live in the middle of the tourist area. If you want to go to Platanias or Xhania, it’s only 10 min and 20 min away with a car. You can also take the bus which have bus stops close to the hotel, but we used the taxi company that the hotel offered. The staff was amazing and super friendly, they helped us with everything we needed and were really friendly. A big thank you to Chris for giving us the best recommendations! We also tested the spa which was very relaxing. And also very friendly. We ate mostly in Platanias and around the area, but we also had a meal at the restaurant at the hotel and it was lovely. Can’t wait to come back here, and we most certainly will soon. Thanks again to the hotel staff for making our stay so pleasant!

I took my fiancè to Asterion to propose (she said yes!) and we couldn't have been happier. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, Dimitra at the front desk was amazing with helping to organise special requests for the proposal. It was very clean, the rooms are beautiful, the food was great as well, and the pool area and ocean is very tranquil and relaxing. One of the days we had too rough of a sea to swim, but the rest of the time it was very calm and swim-able. There's plenty to do if you want to do day trips, although I would recommend getting a car for that like we did, but equally we would have been happy just relaxing at the beach or by the pool all day. Highly recommended and we will be going back!
