Very spacious and clean. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. There is no sign outside the building and so we had some difficulty locating it, but once inside we were pleasantly surprised. Great location - directly opposite the market.

I stayed at Astroea Beach Hotel just before Christmas 2015. I was a bit nervous as I was a solo traveller. However, there was no need for me to be concerned. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. They are all willing to make your stay what you want. The food is very good and lots of choice.
My only complaint is that the rooms aren't up to a good standard but you don't spend a huge amount of your time in the room when you have such amazing views on the beach!
