Nice, simple, and very clean hotel, great staff, however DEFINATELY NOT what the average Brit would rate as 4 star - rooms a bit on the small side, probably what you would expect of a 2/3 star hotel. Bad idea going half board unless you fancy nearly the same thing everyday!! If you are going to book Astir Palace PLEASE BOOK DIRECT!! We went with Olympic Holidays and as a result paid double what it would have been if we'd booked our own flights and gone direct.

OLYMPIC ARE THE WORST TOUR OPERATOR GOING FOR ZANTE..Our holiday would have been perfect if we had left out the tour operators!!! Travel with Olympic if you want to get RIPPED OFF...we double checked the price of our room if we'd have booked direct with the hotel, and it worked out to be £30 per day for a double room - we paid £1500 for 2 people for 14 nites(ACTUALLY GOT 13)incl flights. Apart from this any problems we had Olympic did nothing about, our taxi didn't arrive to pick us up for our return flight (it hadn't been booked), and we got chucked out of our room a full 18 hours before we were due to leave for the airport (therefore having to pay an extra day rate for our room). Hotel explained that they can actually and do regularly offer Olympic alternative arrangements for people with niteflites, but they choose not to take them. Hence you get everyone complaining at reception for being chucked out! They are the very worst company i have travelled with!

Olympic offer an exceptionally poor service
