Hotel Astarea I und II

I am writing this whilst staying at this hotel in Mlini. Hotel staff pleasant and helpful, rooms are clean and well presented. Food is absolutely shocking ! !!! We are half board and breakfast seems the best option, albeit everything that is laid out is cold, even if you arrive at 7 30am when it opens. No thought goes into dinner. The salad table has the same items every night with the odd coleslaw or rice with peas thrown in. The hot table has the same fish every night, which is overcooked, as is the chicken, pork etc. This is accompanied by potatoes, a risotto and some very overcooked veg......again lukewarm. The dessert table, which includes small squares of various cakes all tastes the same.....in fact if I closed my eyes, I wouldn't know what i was eating. Also tap water, although safe to drink, is refused at the table, obviously to make you buy bottled water. Such a lovely country with a fantastic history but we have been so disappointed with the food at this hotel, it has not been a pleasant experience. They do have an a la cartè restaurant, but this is not included. We had lunch at the poolside bistro, again not included. The food there was great, its a pity the restaurant serving most of their guests wasn't of the same quality

Went on recommendation from friends, Hotel refurbished a year or so ago. They have done a fantastic job, very modern throughout, we stayed in the hotel so can’t comment on the annexe. We stayed in room 208 with a sea view room which had the sun all afternoon, had both outdoor and indoor pools along with sauna and modern gym, plenty for toddlers and teenagers with play grounds and games room. We were half board and found the food and choice very good with all staff friendly and professional. Bus or water taxi close by for visiting other areas. Definitely return.

Hotel Astarea in Mlini is a perfect choice for couples and families looking for a peaceful and relaxing seaside holiday. The atmosphere is warm and laid-back, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming. A special advantage is the boat transfer to Cavtat or Dubrovnik, which allows you to avoid traffic jams and the hassle of finding parking in Dubrovnik. An ideal place for a carefree stay and quality time together.

This hotel is amazing, ive been 2 years on the trot first time Solo (unintentionally as my friend who i was ment to travel with got really ill so I went alone) i emailed the hotel telling thwm this and they were really helpful. A year later o returned with my friend who was now well enough to travel with me. I emailed the hotel explained I really wanted this trip tp be exactly like the one my friend missed out on the year before and they dod just that they even put us in the same room. The location is perfect thw rooms are clean amd spacious and we had an amazing sea veiw. Breakfast was fab. The only thing i have an issue with is the evening meal. I didn't feel there was much choice and there was absolutely nothing for kids no chips or nuggets or anything remotely child friendly, Also I have never been half board where you don't even get a glass of water with your evening meal we had to buy a bottle of water which we didn't finish the bottle so we took it back down with us the second night but they wouldn't give us a glass.for it as we hadn't bought it that evening which I found a bit unfair. But other than that I absolutely love this hotel and would definitely go back just not half board

Lovely hotel, although abit quiet and isolated. No entertainment as such I the evenings just a guy playing a guitar in the bar. We took cards and games and sat on our balcony with a bottle of wine purchased from the supermarket in Mlini. We had a superior rooms in annex booked with jet2. Stunning views from small balcony with afternoon and evening sun. Rooms 810 and 812. We used uber taxi to get in and out of Dubrovnik at a out €10-€12 each way, worth it as 3 of us and there’s a very steep hill up to bus stop from hotel. Check out cruise mapper before going into Dubrovnik to make sure no big cruise ships in, to make the most of your visit. You need to be fit as there’s a lot of steps around this area so not suitable for some people or wheelchair users. Lovely pool area and a fabulous indoor heated 25 m pool for some proper swimming. Visit Cavat either by ferry €15 cash only, return or an uber or number 10 bus. Walk round the headland a circular walk back to us stop/ taxi rank in cavat. My only gripe with hotel was the lack of water available at the evening meal. I asked for tap water and was refused saying I had to buy bottled water at over €5 for less than a litre. The tap water is perfectly ok to drink in Croatia. I thought this was a violation of EU regulations and raised this with the Jet2 rep who confirmed I could take in one bottle of water each meal, which I did for the remainder of our stay. There’s a small fridge in the room so easy to cool down drinks and water for flasks. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, helped by fantastic spring weather.
