Hello, I would like to share my experience at Asteria Family Resort Side, as it may help others when choosing a resort. I found very little information about this resort on this page, so I hope this post will be useful to others. I’ll start with our first day. When we were taken to our room, I was honestly shocked by what I found. You can get an idea of what the room looked like from the attached photos. The food was also very limited in terms of variety, with a strong emphasis on chicken. On only one occasion during our stay was beef served at one of the meals. The taste of the food left a lot to be desired. Adding a handful of salt improves the taste somewhat, but without salt, it was sometimes difficult to even tell what you were eating. The windows are very basic, so you can hear practically every conversation your neighbors have on their balconies as if they were speaking directly to you. The same applies to the walls — they seem to be paper-thin. Housekeeping is done every day, but they basically clean using only water, without any cleaning solution. Even though we left what I would consider a decent tip for two days in a row — $10 each day, hoping that the room would be cleaned more thoroughly — unfortunately, nothing changed. On the beach, cleaning starts at around 10 a.m., so you may actually see the beach being swept while you are walking on it. The entrance into the sea is rocky, so water shoes are definitely recommended, and the water gets deep almost immediately. On two of the days, we had no hot water in the shower. On the other days, it took around five minutes just to get the temperature right, and even then the water temperature would change significantly, at times becoming dangerously hot. If you judge the resort based on what you see outside rather than the rooms, it is a beautiful resort. The problem starts when you end up in certain rooms. We eventually changed rooms for the rather "modest" amount of €200, and the room we received afterwards was indeed acceptable — not luxurious, but acceptable. In conclusion, I would rate this as a maximum 3-star resort, and even that would be with some indulgence. Tripadvisor currently gives it a 4.1 rating, but honestly, I feel that many of those who gave it the highest ratings did not place much importance on cleanliness. I was not expecting luxury, but I was at least expecting a clean room. For these reasons, I cannot recommend this resort. On the contrary, based on our experience, I would advise others to consider their options carefully before booking.
