Hotel Astarea

"Lovely staff, even though i never announced my kids bday cake was waiting when we came back from pool. Everyone seemed happy to help."

"Great hotel and really busy even in October. Facilities and both indoor and outdoor pool were excellent. Buffet evening meal was nice but so so busy and felt overwhelming. Disappointed with the size of the room and after booking a superior room (and a week before arrival being told it was now known as something else) there was not enough room to swing a cat! Even more disappointing was that we booked a 'sea view' room through Jet2 for our 20th anniversary and again a week before we got an email stating our sea view room would now be known as a side sea room/restricted view! On arrival in our tiny room there was a massive tree blocking the view whereby we could see other rooms in a better location with better views. We challenged this only to be told (and still being told 5 months on) that the website states trees may block views and that we WERE allocated the correct room. Not a leg to stand on here dealing with a massive company and the little customer has to go away and accept their apology...So disappointed with both the hotel and Jet2 with this and feel like it's being told the full buffet breakfast will now be known as bacon and eggs...🤷‍♂️ Won't be returning."

"This is a newly renovated hotel on the seafront in the small resort of Mlini near Dubrovnik. We stayed for a week on a Jet2 holiday. Our sea view room in the annex was comfortable with a small balcony to enjoy. The facilities in the main hotel are excellent. Outdoor pool and paddling pool clean and well kept. Wonderful heated indoor pool, which we used a lot as late in the season. Plenty of room to lounge around the pool. The breakfast and evening buffets had a good choice of food, which was well cooked and presented . Good value for money. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Staff were helpful and friendly. The resort of Mlini has many bars and restaurants along the seafront. Buses to Dubrovnik and Cavtat every half hour. Ferry to Dubrovnik and Cavtat and Islands 5 mins walk along the seafront. Downsides: Annex is 3 storey and there are no lifts. Lots of steps and hills around the resort. Steepish hill to bus stop on the main road behind the hotel. Buffet food could sometimes be tepid, even though food replenished frequently. Can be busy when coach tours are staying. Indoor pool can be noisy. Suggest adult only hours could be tried? Croatia is no longer a cheap place to holiday. Prices to eat out similar to UK."
