Astra Village Hotel Suites

The hotel is about 5 minutes taxi ride from the airport making it really convenient. The rooms are clean with everything you need. The pool is great and the sun loungers very comfortable. You can watch incoming planes landing from the pool. People tend to put their towels down before the pool opens, which can be frustrating and means waiting for a lounger if you don’t do that - Tip: if going in July (it was 33 degrees) go to the beach first and then the pool around 4/5pm and you’ll get a lounger and quieter pool. Hotel is within walking distance of both Ammes and Ai Helis beaches which are immaculate. The water is clean and clear. We would definitely return.

We booked Astra Village as we were attending a wedding on the island. On arrival, all seemed lovely. The following morning, breakfast was basic but ok. The room was clean but beds uncomfortable and barely any space for clothing for a family of 4 so we were living out of suitcases. Dinner was ok the first night but after that it was pretty much the same every single night - awful for a weeks stay and not to mention the lack of choice for children, Infact, no choice for children. The drinks machine was continuously broken allowing only sour cherry flavour juice. Advertised with a play park, it consisted of 2 swings which then were unhooked and taken away. Also a children’s play room with toys which doesn’t exist. Entertainment - one night there was a band and that was it. Children were told off for jumping in the pool. Most of the staff are really lovely, apart from 2 ladies who were rude. We booked half board and were with friends who booked all inclusive - god were we glad we didn’t bother with that option! Not worth the money at all as the all inclusive is very limited. Even chips aren’t included if you need something for the kids! This hotel is not child friendly. Would we return? Absolutely never. The best thing about this holiday? The sunbeds around the pool. Not quite the holiday from hell but certainly not the best either. I wouldn’t waste your money on this place. The hotel is located in a very derelict area, nothing around so have to rely on transport if you want to get around. Also - on check out our friends asked for a bottle of water who were then refused! Absolute joke. Kefalonia itself is beautiful, especially down by the harbour.

My stay at the hotel was really lovely. I had a great room always clean, thank you to the cleaning staff. I loved the hotel and they have the best sun loungers I have ever had. Lovely large pool which was always clean. Life guard on duty. The breakfast was absolutely fine with usual choice of eggs, toast, croissants, fresh fruit and yoghurt etc. Dinner was ok often the main the course luke warm and the choice a bit repetitive but generally I found it fine. There are couple of tavernas nearby and supermarket adjacent to hotel or another one across the road. Car hire across the road Greekstones were excellent and I would use again. Sandy beach 10 mins walk down the road where you can also get the local bus into Argostoli. Tourist tax is 7 euros per night per room so it is a bit steep for a single person but then we have to pay more all the time for everything. It is very close to the airport 10 mins but everyone seemed to enjoy watching the planes come in and leave - it is not Gatwick so does not cause any problem. I met loads of people and thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would go back.

Please ignore all the recent negative reviews this hotel is amazing ( our 4th visit) nothing is too much trouble , the staff cannot do enough . Spotless throughout and incredibly comfy sun loungers . The food is basic but there are plenty of restaurants around if you don't like whats on offer . I would definitely recommend going half board rather than all inclusive. Thankyou to Dorian the barman on the bar in the day he makes awesome bloody Mary's and Sylvia on the bar in the evening who makes delicious white Russians 😋 Irene you are a very special lady and deserve every success at astra village . We will be back xx

This was our first visit to Kefalonia and most certainly won't be our last. The Astra Village and Spa is a small family run hotel, but what it lacks in size it makes up for in helpfulness and integrity. They were on the ball from day1 concerning my food allergy and nothing was too much trouble. Food is delicious and plentiful, and I'm sure even the pickiest of eaters can find something to eat. You will have your moaners wherever you go, but don't take it out on the hotel because you didn't do your research. Personally we loved it here, thank you Anna, Christina, Sylvie, and everyone else

This hotel is absolutely brilliant. The staff are all so helpful and nothing seems too much trouble. They collected us from the airport. We have an awesome room with balcony overlooking the sea. The breakfasts have been really good. We’re just here 2 nights before moving on elsewhere, I’d happily stay longer.

We spent a lovely week here ...our room had the most beautiful views and our bed was comfortable..the little kitchenette is a great addition ...l requested different pillows and they were supplied very quickly ...the hotel and grounds are spotlessly clean ...l am gluten free and the hotel did everything they could to assist me ,the food was fine....a good choice...not as much as the bigger hotels but a good choice everyday ....the first few days there were a couple of noisy families with children who were causing chaos around the pool ....when they left it was quiet this hotel is not suitable for children ...the staff are very helpful and we found them very friendly ...l think if you treat people with respect they treat you the same . On saying that the lady on the bar was grumpy however she was the only one who was....l would return to thus hotel in a heartbeat, but would rent a car....thank you to all the staff ...

The Hotel was amazing very welcoming we arrived late at night but the kind staff gave us a bag (like a takeaway) filled with delicious food from that nights tea.Our room was always clean.Don't be alarmed by bad reviews about food, there was a good variety of food and it was also good quality and overall made an amazing holiday.

Our 4th holiday here and a wonderful experience spoiled by the antics of the 'wedding party' and their children. The adults spent all their time drinking leaving the children totally unsupervised. The kids were noisy, and disruptive in the pool, ignoring the rules clearly shown, and on the night were roaming around the accommodation blocks making a nuisance and annoying the other guests. I have read their comments about the hotel and they are entitled to write them, perhaps they should look at their parenting skills next time. Hopefully the hotel will not repeat this type of booking in future.
