Astir Palace Resort Review

Tranquil and beautiful, with incredible sea vistas and private pine-clad grounds, the Astir Palace is actually a series of secluded bungalows and three hotels with their own private beaches on 30 hectares (75 acres) with plenty of activity from windsurfing to private Pilates lessons. Seven well-regarded restaurants, including Matsuhisa Athens, are on-site. The Arion hotel offers a more classical aesthetic, and its seaview rooms are arranged in such a way so that even the bathtubs have prime water views; in 2006 Starwood Hotels and Resorts of the St. Regis in NYC fame raised its luxury flag on the Arion, while the Westin was formerly known as the Nafsika. All rooms in the Westin have sea views while the rooms are elegant and modern, and the new W hotel (formerly Aphrodite) is supposed to open in 2011, following a long and extensive renovation that is expected to be spectacular when it is done.

Facilities:
7 restaurants; 7 bars; 3 pools; 3 tennis courts w/flood lighting

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
